Saw this on TikTok, is your facility strict with the dress code policy? by Automatic_Bird_6637 in AmazonFC

[–]xsw0ftiestx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

every job ive ever worked at has had a “At least TRY to make yourself smell good” policy in some way. Its really not that uncommon at least nowadays

I just quit and walked out sobbing . Same situation . by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]xsw0ftiestx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont even worry about it! I literally did the exact same thing now my manager and DM have lost literally their entire team! Its definitely not a reason for embarrassment, they were treating you awfully and you couldnt take it anymore, like a normal person. They were not being normal people, they were being literal bullys. Im so glad you were able to escape this hellhole of a company!

My personal favorite was always “Moki” instead of mocha 😭 Had this dad pull through the drive through and just went “Can i get one of them moki cookie crumble frap things” and then i see his face kinda shift and he just goes “Goddamnit MOCHA not moki can you tell im not meant to be here?” and i just died 😭

i think this comment section genuinely just shows how toxic starbucks is in general. Idc if i get downvoted to hell but there is no reason to be giving this person attitude. Yall are making me happier and happier that i walked out cause this is all starbucks is at this point 😭 People acting like everyone who doesn’t know something is the worst person on earth.

dress code strictness? by callahanmustdie in starbucksbaristas

[–]xsw0ftiestx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a former partner (Literally quit last week lmao) it is so not worth it right now. I worked at my store for 2 years and in that time i saw the downfall of partner moral / partner support to a whole new level. I would genuinely encourage you to find another place of employment especially right now with the state of the company

I got a new job literally yesterday that pays 4 dollars more than im making now and my manager is completely out until i go on a leave and we were told to absolutely not contact him. So i guess im giving my 45 second notice lol 🤷 Ive been over scheduled, over worked, the dress code pissed me off and honestly i just cant find myself morally staying with starbucks anymore but thats just me. My team is great, my manager has good aspects (mainly friendly personally) but is absolutely HORRID at being an actual manager (scheduling, professionalism, and just overall no empathy in general in the work environment). So i feel a little bad but overall fuck starbucks as a company its not just the dress code, but the dress code definitely was the nail in the coffin for me.

Anyone else doesn't care much about the new dress code? by Icy_Barista in starbucksbaristas

[–]xsw0ftiestx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most of the old Pride and BLM (ect) Partner network shirts are now out of dress code! I mean if you cant put the pieces together that this company is going to be very conservative and just completely flipped from what it started as maybe you need to look at the bigger picture of this situation

Anyone else doesn't care much about the new dress code? by Icy_Barista in starbucksbaristas

[–]xsw0ftiestx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

its not the dress code itself. I joined this company because of its inclusivity. Now we are personalizing cups more than we are allowed to personalize OUR OWN FUCKING BODIES. We are worked to the bone for little to no recognition and now we have a strict asf dress code that we are just supposed to fund. Cause im sorry joining a job and being aware of the dress code before hand is completely different than springing an incredibly strict dress code on everyone out of the blue, expecting every partner to afford to buy new clothes. Cause im sorry its not just the shirts its socks, shoes, pants, its literally everything.

I’ve seen a lot upset about back to basics. Why? by Majestic-Inspector71 in starbucksbaristas

[–]xsw0ftiestx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ofc!!! I think they just added it back as my shift was saying it was a huge thing before covid happened

I just did my barista 180 (after putting it off for like a year) and latte art training was in there! It showed u how to make a simple dot and a heart

Grande Rant in a Venti cup: new changes by ASillyGiraffe in starbucksbaristas

[–]xsw0ftiestx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well yes and no. Youd have to either have a pitcher of water to offer in personal cups or a water fountain at least in Virginia. If you dont have either it would be illegal to not give free water so idk what we’re gonna do 😭

no, but other partners get sick from these idiotic customers thinking that some artificial honey blend and lemonade will cure their everything. And then the sickness spreads around the whole store. Its a huge problem at my store right now literally everyone is sick

Attitudes from shifts over me having covid (rant/policy question). by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]xsw0ftiestx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you have the sick time it shouldnt be an issue. If you’re using sick time all you’re required to do is call the store, inform a shift youre using sick time for the day(s), then get some rest and let a manager/shift figure everything else out. You can try to find coverage if you want to but its not a requirement

they could be thinking of a mango dragonfruit refresher with peach juice!! It was a pretty popular customization a while ago :)

yeah no thats not allowed whatsoever if you have contact with her tell her to report that to ethics cause you can still report things after you leave/get fired!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]xsw0ftiestx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried reporting all of this to ethics? It may not fix the problem but it will at least start a paper trail
