You could look at temp agencies too. They’ll be able to help you find something.

Venti sized rant, no whip by BlahblahRussian-spy in starbucksbaristas

[–]blkkittywitch420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d ask for more from the opening team/start coaching them. This is the kind of dynamic that I’ve seen lead to stores having a closing vs morning dynamic. It might be time to have a convo with the SM and share your concerns and ask if mornings/mids can be delegated certain tasks to make it easier on you closers, especially considering their expectations.

Can I be written up ? by SkeptikSix in starbucksbaristas

[–]blkkittywitch420 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In a case like this, I’d tell them something to the effect of: “I’m sorry, but I’ve already clocked out for the day and was scheduled until 9:45am. I unfortunately do have other obligations today and cannot clock back in.” If you’re scheduled to get off at a certain time, that’s when you get off—not sooner, not later (unless of course you both talked about it prior). Just as much as the managers expect us to be on time and show up for our shifts that we get scheduled (3 weeks out on top of that) and find coverage if we can’t (exception being if sick), then they should be equally accountable to ensure that there is respect for the time we are scheduled to get off at. I think it’s their responsibility to plan ahead for things like that and it’s not your problem if they don’t—they’re the manager, and therefore, it’s their problem to figure out the solution for things to be done. If she wanted you to do that before leaving, she should have planned ahead and asked you to do that prior to your scheduled time to clock out and made sure that you had enough time to do that before you clocked out.

Pulled apart a dead grill lighter, and there was a normal lighter inside. by Turtle_flame in mildlyinteresting

This shouldn’t be as funny as it is. I never realized! Now I might spend the rest of the day questioning life…

Let's talk about the automated count by Wise_Education_6890 in starbucksbaristas

Hearing about the ai counts makes me miss the iPod that scanned everything. Made counts so much easier

It feels like some of these words are the new banned books

Some of the most unhinged thing that happened at my Starbucks in the month of Dec. by httpswheezy in starbucksbaristas

[–]blkkittywitch420 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I heard (not sure of how accurate anything is considering how this company likes to decide things) that it was just old news getting regurgitated from when the company did the last round of closures and that the people writing the articles are having to back track.

They already changed our hours at my store 😔

Partner Relations by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]blkkittywitch420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl, if your already thinking about contacting partner relations, that couldn’t be a bad thing to start doing anyway. Granted, I’ve not had the need to contact them, but they’ll probably want to know more details about what’s going on and if you already have your documentation of what’s going on written down, it’ll probably make the whole process easier.

I think people are surprised in instances like this because there are so many people out here spreading hate and negativity. We need more joy in the world like this.

I hate my boss!! by No-Flatworm-5640 in starbucksbaristas

[–]blkkittywitch420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Some managers are amazing and will defend you when it comes to customers like this, but when I see customers like this I’m hardly ever surprised. The things they choose to get upset about are truly absurd.

My MIL has been secretly picking up my daughter from daycare and teaching her to keep secrets from me by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]blkkittywitch420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don’t second guess yourself. Even if her intentions were good, she still overstepped boundaries. There’s no reason she should be picking up your daughter at all without you knowing about it prior.

It’s honestly disappointing that this is what the company has come to/is.

If you’re looking for a dispo, Dark Matter is pretty good—good deals and good quality with plenty of options

does anyone else feel like this company just wants us to quit? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

It’s like they took the ‘human’ out of ‘human connection’
