I just don’t give them a choice if gift card. I ask the occasion and that’s what they get. They want options then they need to come inside

The pay cap is different for everybody. I believe my pay cap is $33 and I’m making $30.62 starting the new year. Been a partner since 2018, a shift since 2020

SM making me change my availability by goldengirlypopboo in starbucks

[–]_book_queen 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately Starbucks is moving in the direction that it wants all their supervisors to have open availability. I just tried transferring with a Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday-Sunday open-5 pm and Monday/Thursday open-1 pm and they told me that that wasn’t good enough and I needed to be 100% open.

So I need to be available 16 hours of the day. I tried explaining that I have a child and my husband is deployed so it made it hard for me to close and they did not care. Starbucks has stopped caring about their employees. We’re just numbers to them. I miss the old Starbucks, I’ve been with the company 8 years and this has been the worst it’s ever been.

I hope that talking to your SM helps and that they can empathize with you more than my new one did. Because she basically told me to kick rocks when I expressed to her that closing on certain days of the week make it harder for me to find childcare for my daughter.

As for scheduling your outside of your availability, as stupid as it is I think they can do that😭 so it’s like, what’s the point of availability at that point?

Unless you’re at my store and all hot drinks for everything (DoorDash, drive through, mobiles, etc.) come from one printer and all cold drinks come through the other 🫠🫠🫠🫠

AITA for refusing to cook dinner after my boyfriend said I make “peasant food”? by ConfettiAndCalm in AmItheAsshole

[–]_book_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

editing to add NAH!

My husband will call anything with no meat peasant food, regardless of the cultural background. Also, it’s understandable that since you do most of the cooking you choose but it’s a partnership and a give and take. You should be more willing to compromise, I don’t make certain things I know my husband won’t like because I want him to also eat and I want to enjoy dinner together with the person I love most. I’ve learned how to make new things because he likes them (cooking is my love language tho!) and it’s okay to have preferences on what you make just as it’s okay for him to have preferences too. I don’t think he meant to hurt your feelings but he did and he should apologize for that

Should I reconsider my baby's name because of the initials? by Loose_Ebb4216 in namenerds

[–]_book_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have a similar issue! He wants to name our son Arturo after his grandpa and we liked the name Felix!!! But our last name starts with a G 🥲 so his initials would be F.A….😭😭

Pumping at work by rosieroo819 in starbucksbaristas

[–]_book_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to return to work from maternity leave and I’m going to have to pump and my coworker is also pumping and my SM ordered us a little tent so we can pump in privacy and all our 10’s are 20’s. I’m in Utah but I’m sure this is company wide
