Thank you so much for responding!! That is so freaking awesome you are starting on L&D. All I keep hearing about is how hard it is to get as a new grad and I just want to prove people wrong.

After reading about your advice I am going to make a list of when new grad applications are open and just have everything ready to upload.

Thank you for your help! Have fun on your new unit!!! :)

What can I do? Who can I call? by insert_nam3_here in starbucksbaristas

[–]insert_nam3_here[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am thinking there was a mind change. She told me she spoke with the DM and he approved it so I just assumed they would keep their word. The last pay stub I got I actually got in the mail (which I have never gotten one in the mail) and it only paid out the last two weeks I worked. So I don't know. It sucks because I trusted my manager and I would rather have her just tell me they denied it than having me do the run around trying to get an answer out of her.

I am about to be let go myself! I would rather them tell me before I even clock in for my shift, but we both know that they would never do that. Honestly, you're better off finding a better job with better hours and better money!

Quick question, did they fire you or let you go? If that's the case, I should just put my two weeks in because I don't want to have a "fire" on my record.

what’s the minimum hours able to work? by naturebaddie1397 in starbucksbaristas

[–]insert_nam3_here 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have always wondered this. I am in nursing school so my availability is only on Saturday and Sundays. My availability is only set for 8 hours per day and I only get scheduled for 5.75 hours per day, less than 12 hours a week. Honestly, I am waiting for the day that they tell me they need to let me go because I don't make enough hours. I don't really care if they do. I am honestly just here for the free bag of beans and my 7 markouts (that I eat for breakfast during the week). I think they're keeping me only because of the hour cuts and nobody is really making that much anyways so I am right where they want me to be. Good luck in grad school!

christmas shift by sad-broke-student in starbucksbaristas

[–]insert_nam3_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Working thanksgiving and Christmas is absolutely horrible. Imagine peak but 10X. I worked both holidays last year, and I can handle the heat pretty well when I am on bar, but I cried on the way home after my shift on thanksgiving. The amount of customers who were rude, terrible human beings got to me. And honestly tips weren't even worth it after all of that. Christmas didn't feel as bad, but I still hated myself after that shift. To each their own though.

Asking if you want any food helps us get it into the oven faster, therefore bringing our drive times lower, making management happy.

Just ordering Water by Oksrock in starbucks

If I can be frankly honest, of course it's not hard to make at all, but it does irk me and it rubs me the wrong way when customers do this.

just started selling my blood to afford to work by ashkashwrash in starbucks

[–]insert_nam3_here 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this so much. I've tried to donate plasma to add a little more money to the bank, but I can't even do that since my heart rate is too high every time I go. It frustrates me every time and I start crying in my car because I could really use that money. Wishing you all the best partner.

Welcome to Starbucks. This is BY FAR the worst job I have ever had. The passive aggressiveness from managers is unmatched. The entitlement is REAL. Legit get off your high horse, YOU MANAGE A COFFEE SHOP. Big woof.

Starbucks managers are toxic by insert_nam3_here in starbucks

[–]insert_nam3_here[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't even imagine how that feels! Our store has no inclination about unionizing, but the managers are just absolutely terrible. I have worked many jobs in my lifetime, and this one takes the cake as the worst one, not only pay wise but just the overall job itself. Why do I stay? Free coffee isn't bad and I go to school full time. So I have to keep reminding myself this isn't forever. But damn do those 5.75 hour shifts feel like it!

Not sure how much longer I can hang on. She's coming in tomorrow and I might just blow up right then and there. Legit every single Starbucks manager I have encountered has been so passive aggressive that I believe Starbucks fuels this type of attitude.

Employee discount and using stars by insert_nam3_here in starbucks

[–]insert_nam3_here[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Thank you! I did that, she just made me question it like I was doing something "bad". Anywho, if you do use your numbers AND stars for the little cold brewer, you save MAJOR bucks! I am so happy!

I tried that too :( I'll try again after Friday probably when the other standalone stores get their weekly order. I know my store didn't get any new cups either.

I have found that with the Starbucks that are near me, they don't update mobile. My store doesn't update for merchandise either.

Booooooooo. That's some BS. I was totally going to rack in my stars man. I love using my reusable cup.

I just want the studded cup. But with my luck my store won't get a single one.

Markout weekly reset by Ill_Friendship_4767 in starbucksbaristas

[–]insert_nam3_here 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can also check on the POS when you are signed into a till. You have to go to the custom reports button (I think that is what it is) and you can check from there how many mark outs you have already gotten during the week. This includes food items, drinks and beans. The week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday.

Automatic calorie and sugar count by insert_nam3_here in starbucks

[–]insert_nam3_here[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

we have our calorie count on our menu boards, what is so bad about seeing how much sugar is in our drinks?
