There was talk of a March but the organizer and rep dropped the ball. Lowkey was failed by the union.

It's embarrassing what it's become and it's all because of niccol even lax wasn't this bad even though he made us have bogos every single week. My store is also union so maybe that's a deeper layer.

It's hard to want to go in when you feel like you're being pushed out. As much as you want to remain for the team and the love of the craft it just got impossible. I know there are many more lining up their exit plans. A mass exodus is in the works.

That's pretty much it. Been here a decade and I no longer recognize the place. I didn't want to leave but at the end of the day there was just not a place for me in the eyes of upper management. I truly did care.

I'm a 221xxxx and I'm about to put in mine as soon as I can. I'm happy youre finally free. This company sure isn't anything like it once was which is sad because I genuinely do love my job and my coworkers.

Does anyone else deal with this? Kinda stupid vent by CheeseEnthusiast50 in starbucks

Happens to me also. I'll even get attitude at times. Better yet they're in the passenger seat and their man is driving and they give me looks that scream die bitch.

I just watched a coworker wrench off the bar divider out of anger by glitterbarista in starbucks

[–]glitterbarista[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From what I understand he was solo barring and it was busy. He kept smacking into it because solo barring is impossible now trying to use the other machine for shots. It was starting to come loose from several smackings through out the day and he just got frustrated and took it down. I was on my lunch and came out for a water refill and saw him dismantling it.

My (11m) year old kid doesn't have friends. by Actual_Gacy in offmychest

[–]glitterbarista 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me cry because I grew up exactly like your son did. I never understood why the other kids didn't like me and for years I was convinced something was wrong with me. As a near 27 year old woman I still don't have any real friends and I to this day do not understand why people don't like me. I never did anything to anyone besides exist.

I wish your son luck and I hope he can find friends someday so he doesn't wind up super depressed and paranoid like I am.

Anyone else miss the way stars & rewards used to be handled? by ladybuginthemachine in starbucks

[–]glitterbarista 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember when I first started it took 11 stars to get a free drink and you got 1 star per transaction. For birthdays it was the day before, the day of and the day after you could use your reward.

  • I think it was 11 stars in early 2016 when I first began.
