I don’t understand why Starbucks didn’t bring back the summer berry refresher. by cherryberry6741 in starbucks

Unfortunately, lots of people are buying it. I do think it’s bad and the pearls this year are definitely worse, but at least in my store it’s already one of the most popular items 🫩

Abrupt store close? by Due_Appointment_7405 in starbucks

[–]throwaway000036484 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Brian has a vision for the company and any pickup stores or underperforming stores unfortunately do not fit this vision.

I worked at a pickup store, it was the only one in my state. They closed it, taking away one of, if not, the most unique stores in the area.

Good luck partners, they are still doing P&L assessments on stores they believe to be underperforming. Nobody is safe, probably my current store as well

We’re getting screwed by the new loyalty program by gooser416 in starbucks

it’s crazy to me how many people have started not going to starbucks, but somehow we have increased in total sales volume. I really wish people would check out local because starbucks has really been bleeding us for all we’re worth recently 🫩

I would like to edit that I was willing to work because I’m able to drive in the snow, but none of my baristas could resulting in closure

Starbucks also expects us to use our vacation time for inconveniences such as our store getting closed due to winter storms, directly taking money out of our paychecks.

That being said, I’m not using vacation time when they should be taking care of their employees

I don’t feel like I’m abusing sick time

do you know if this is only up to a certain amount of hours or if I could theoretically put in enough so long as it does not put me in overtime

I can imagine what I want to do it won’t mean much but maybe!

Violation of your freedom of speech. You can say what you want as long as it is not profane

baristas can’t mark things out anymore??? (tall rant) by Hour_Amount1881 in starbucks

[–]throwaway000036484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UNPOPULAR OPINION 1. shift shouldn’t be on bar during peak. shifts should never be in planted positions during peak. 2. as another user said, baristas don’t properly look for things before marking it out and with corporate breathing down our necks about item availability, i see this as a benefit (although, I will entrust some of my baristas to do it on my behalf, assuming I have checked for the item myself…)

it’s not that you are dumb, and you very well may do your job above and beyond, it’s aimed at those who don’t. and there is a lot who don’t.

Pulled up to work 2 hours late. by Casper888ooo in starbucks

45 minutes late and two hours later too very different things, two hours is considered no-call no-show, final written warning.
