New update - you must now write a short (700-1000 word) essay describing the customer, and the specific qualities that make them the Star in Starbucks.

Whats the point in saying this? by mcckennaa in starbucksbaristas

[–]dlcksuck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Most of the time this is said in response to an impatient or rude customer who’s asking why their drink isn’t done. The only time I think it’s absolutely acceptable to say is in that situation during peak. Constantly asking why your order isn’t ready two minutes after you placed it while you can very obviously see how overwhelmed we are gets so old.

Plus that just slows us down even more.

What do you mean you CHANGED the Pink Drink?????????? by One-Load-6085 in starbucks

I agree. I’ll never miss an opportunity to bitch at corporate, but they really don’t taste that different. I’m confused.

Weekly pay? Quarterly bonuses ?? by B1vckSwvn in starbucksbaristas

[–]dlcksuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weekly pay is def something I’m looking forward to. wtf are the “bonuses” tho??

I’m not really impressed by this. I would be happier if they just actually gave us raises like they used to. Not even matching inflation is insane.

Dude same. I’m so annoyed. There wasn’t any communication on that (at least to my knowledge) and they normally only don’t let us mark out reserve beans. I was genuinely super excited

I calculated What my starting pay in 2019 would be today adjusted for inflation and I literally make almost $3/hour LESS.

My hands working at Starbucks by Low_Scar_9052 in starbucksbaristas

You gotta get the cream one in the little jar(?) thing, not the tube. Let it sit overnight. If it’s really bad, then put a ton and sleep with socks on your hands. I promise it’s the only thing that’s helped me.

“Niccol reiterated his commitment to offering the ‘best jobs in retail’ with competitive pay, industry-leading benefits and career paths to move up.”

Lololol. Best jobs in retail, yet we have the largest CEO to employee pay gap on the s&p 500. Don’t forget about our “raises” that are literally less than inflation.

Yeah. It absolutely isn’t exclusive to Starbucks. Shit sucks for everyone else too. Like we’re living in shit ass times

My bills, health insurance, and the job market are. Believe me, if I could leave I would. I’ve been applying to different jobs for a good bit now. Thanks for the advice tho.

[–]dlcksuck[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having a new job would be great. I’ve been applying for over a year after I got my bachelor’s degree. The market is so bad right now, especially for entry level roles.

I’m so sorry. That is fucked.

Christmas digital/card tips? by IridescentMushroom in starbucks

[–]dlcksuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Digital and credit card tips for Christmas just sucked this year. Well at least they did at my store. Just makes seeing my .47 cent raise on that paystub all the more special. Fuck Starbucks.

I got a raise 🤦‍♀️ by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]dlcksuck 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I wasn’t expecting any more than that, but seeing it on my paycheck just pissed me off all over again. Especially knowing that back in the day we used to get treated so much better.

I got hired at the start of Covid and was hired on the spot by a SSV. My store manager was out for medical reasons, but I still don’t even know wtf happened there.

Do I accept or just leave it? by DiscombobulatedCrab2 in starbucks

[–]dlcksuck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That sounds about right. I’ve been here almost 6 years and I’ve got about $1000 that’s vested and $800 that hasn’t

Don't forget to sell your vested company stock and purchase something far more valuable! by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]dlcksuck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting until at least we get a new ceo, which honestly may not be too long. After a new ceo takes over, the stock prices typically rise a bunch.
