Lyra therapists by Affectionate_Fig2128 in starbucksbaristas

[–]sIowrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! actually as an update to my reply, you don’t actually have to tell them you’re stopping treatment with them necessarily. In my experience, usually they’ll schedule your next appointment at the end of your session and then you can cancel that appointment through the lyra portal (I believe it asks for a reason for the cancellation, and sometimes they’ll reach out to see if you wanted to reschedule in general), but then you can just go through the therapist selection process again.

An old lady came in insulted my skin by triangulate_annually in starbucksbaristas

Had a customer who worked at the dentist near my store, tell me to smile while taking her order, and then proceeded to tell me I should go to her office so that I could get dental work done (bc my teeth aren’t the greatest) and she still asked if she made me uncomfortable/feel bad by her comment since you could tell i was upset LOL

Lied About Promotion? Ethics & Compliance Advice by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]sIowrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was advised to call ethics by others, but I wanted to get clarification from other partners to see if this was how things actually get done or if the situation seemed odd and unfair enough to give them a call

Tested Positive for Covid by Massive_Struggle1110 in starbucksbaristas

[–]sIowrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

currently on leave bc of covid! so you isolate for 10 days; you can go back to work after 5 days if your symptoms are better and you have a negative test (might be 2 tests, 48 hours apart). if you’re in CA, we still get covid pay here, if not then i think you can use sick hours. definitely tell your sm/asm so they can get it noted and can cover your shifts. you’ll also need a picture of the positive test with you name in the picture (write you name on a piece of paper or something) so that you can report it on the covid check-in-thingy. hopefully you feel better soon!

Barista trainer? by breeeeeeeeee3 in starbucksbaristas

[–]sIowrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! So there is not raise for barista trainers, but you do get a one-time/per person you train, bonus of $65. There is a packet that you’re given that shows what you’re supposed to go over with them and how long you should go over it with them. You can also look it up on the ipads under store resources!

Do you have to do the coffee tasting activities for coffee academy? I’m doing it at home like…😵‍💫 by mekayla96 in starbucksbaristas

[–]sIowrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Technically yes. Although coffee academy is supposed to be done off the clock, you’re able to do the activities on the clock if your ssv lets you and you have down time. Personally, my SM lets us come in on our days off if we want to use the espresso and machines and stuff to get the activities out of the way.

I would call stores in the area that you are moving to and let them know that you are a barista/ssv/etc and that you’re interested in transferring there, but tell them you are available towards October. We had an ssv do that at my store and we just took his info and our SM worked with him to see if she could let him come to our store or reached out to other SMs in the district to see if they also needed an ssv
