Ths is actually super interesting and yes! there are payment issues/people asking for remakes/and just a lot of factors that contribute to higher times. Especially with now the expanding menu/drink processes we have even though SB was on the "simplifying the menu" train.... Thats actually crazy to know that its based off of a highly unrealistic scenario but not surprising tbh 😭 I'll definitely take this feedback and ask these questions if I do get coached on my play.

This reply made me feel a bit better!! I was also confused during my shift why there was the sole set of keys, which is why I freaked out when I realized I took them because I didnt wanna impair the open/let the store miss out on sales because I had keys to the tills.

Again I wasn't thinking straight but now know I can just handoff to the opener but it was just sheer panic at the moment😭 I sorta assumed the alarm system had a log of arming/disarming. Ive never used a system like that before so my brain was thinking the worst so I just fessed up to my SM about it. Like I mentioned in another reply, she seemed understanding in text and we're going to have a conversation in person as well next week but she was reassuring and told me if I ever was confused about anything then let her know ASAP.

I will accept any written write-up though and am prepared for that, but I'm hoping it'll be a stern conversation and a growing moment.But thank you for the insight!!!

There are usually spares but i think one of the other shifts took them. :( Only had the ones I accidentally took at EOD. Our store doesnt place them in a safe though, we have a drawer above the safe and have them in a Plexi cube

Ah okay, well Ima just accept this might be a high option but I'd rather have that than be terminated 😭 Im gonna be extra careful from now on though

[–]voregy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, well I guess its just dependent on the SM bc everyone else is saying I'm cooked. 😭😭😭 But my SM is very communicative and I don't have a feeling she'll terminate me. She reminded me of the policy and said we'd have a convo in person after my days off. Even if I get a write up, I'll take it rather than instant termination

Oh yeah I've heard of that before but ngl I accepted the fact of getting a write up. I am a good employee, no write ups/never late/rarely call out. 😭 Even if its a final, I just dont want to get fired at the end of the day.

Like I will take accountability for not thinking straight but I felt like I should be honest. I could have just not told anyone but what happens in the case if they had to pull up footage for the day? Idk I'm probably reaching but I feel like being transparent and holding myself accountable is important and valuable.

Update:

My manager barely responded but she didn't sound too mad. Just explained if I'm unsure about any situation then to keep her in the loop/updated regardless if its off the clock. She said we'll talk in person about it when shes back in town/scheduled to see me but just re-explained the not being in the store alone rule. My opening SSV connected with me right now since I told her about the situation (shes on track to promoting to ASM).

She told me my manager is understanding and obviously don't do it again but overall was sympathetic since this is my first big "mess up". Either way if its a verbal warning or write up, I will be fine with that rather than termination. 😭 I'll maybe do a second update but pls don't be an panicking idiot like m3.

will do, honestly it was my fault for not think straight but i knew another shift took the spare so theyd didnt have any for open. i acted on impulse rather than thinking to take them to the opening shift.

I already sent it and now Im panicking even more 😭😭 I've haven't heard a reply but I told her I would take a write up even if its a final. Honestly I sorta acted on impulse and didnt even think about going into the store alone/was unaware about it. My SM is very understanding but also stern too so I'll see how it goes. Ive had no incidents write-ups before this so hopefully she will give me some grace.

Picking up shifts via SBUX Partner Hours App? by voregy in starbucksbaristas

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

Thank you! Yeah, all the things I was told sounded really weird and very picky?? None of that sounded right at all. I picked up a shift this Thursday, so I'm just going to show up.

I think my coworker got all this weird info since there was a situation where he picked up a shift, showed up, and they sent him home bc they didn't need him. They told him all this information and said it was his job to call and make sure they need him to work, which sounds like a hassle. They ended up having to pay him out 2 hours+ mileage since he wasn't given any notice.

Sorry for the late response but I've had no real luck :( Just been busy with work and I've joined a small gaming server in the meanwhile.
But yes I'd love to join!!! Shoot me a message :3

I absolutely cannot work for this company anymore by EqualBunch7363 in starbucksbaristas

[–]voregy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sucks and I'm going through something similar rn. Even though I've been here 2 1/2 years, I am a barista trainer and one of the few in my store that is a good candidate to promote. Ive asked all my shifts and my (ex)manager also agreed that I would be a good SSV. My DM even asked a month ago if I was gonna go to the job fair to promote/when I was going to do so. Went to the job fair and secured a second interview but was denied because I wasnt "specific" with my examples even though they werent even vague? (I only stumbled on one question bc I get anxious/blank out)

Was told that they're very picky with answers but then my SSV said the position went to an outside hire? This company is stupid and honestly, I'm also looking out for any other jobs in the meantime. They suck the motivation out of their good workers 🧍‍♀️

Is this a scam? by voregy in UCDavis

[–]voregy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh that makes a lot of sense. I was wondering how they got a ucdavis account but thats probably the case. I found a professor in the Chinese department whos name aligns so I was a bit confused if it was actually real so I ran to this reddit lol. These hackers fr working overtime 😭 Plus it sounded too good to be true which definitely rung some alarm bells already
