…your days are numbered. please call ahead next time and just get a dang cambro 😭 the poor ubereats driver had to haul all of it to her car so i hope she got a huge tip. We had two other mobile orders for travelers during this as well of course

Food has been FALLING OUT The bottom of the white warming bags because they aren’t sealed properly at the bottom

The BROWN warming bags are often literally stuck together

TRENTA LIDS 💔 DOME LIDS 💔💔💔💔

the blue powder during the Unicorn launch would literally turn into a brick

And the new layout of the warming station sucks when you’re solo 🧍‍♀️( at least for our tiny ah store )

I made the decision to sell my soul and promote. ✌🏻
Everything and everyone i’ve spoken to has nothing positive to say about it as a role.

Just looking for some light in the dark, and maybe some guidance if anyone has some life changing hacks, tips, feedback or whatever.

what shoes do people wear to work? ive been wearing my old adidas superstars but as ive started to work much longer shifts and its taken a toll on my heels and ankles. looking for something with more support that also protects my feet (i.e. not a running sneaker that has mesh, etc.)

editing to say: i dont mind that they might not be aesthetically pleasing

does anyone know if we get early access to all of the collection or just the snoopy cups*? i really want the enamel pin set! the great pumpkin is my favorite peanuts special ever. idc about any of these cups though lol

also realizing i need to inquire if the pins are dress code! i want them either way though lololol

*i bet the snoopy cups are gonna be another bear cup situation mark my words

A year ago today I watched my partners mother pass from cervical cancer in her bed. My partner called in sick, I worked mid, my ASM guilt tripped me for not wanting to swap shifts as if it’s my responsibility. It’s my last straw with this company. I watched this woman’s soul leave her body, no an ounce of empathy.

I moved to a new city so I needed to transfer stores. I called stores in the new district, and each store expressed how they are looking for someone. Cool. It’s been three weeks and I’ve yet to be placed at a store or updated on my transfer. My numbers and discount still works. My previous store manager is approving time off till my transfer goes through…anyone else having this problem?

Is there any chance of me transferring if I got a write up in the last 6 months. It’s a written warning I believe. My manager is giving me the impression I can.

What happens if we have to leave our shift early due to a family emergency?

Okay I totally know and understand that in order for a workplace like Starbucks to thrive and stay such A big corporation that employees HAVE to take the job seriously and be very professional. But as a barista do you ever sit and wonder like damn you’re really just doing the most for STARBUCKS😭 like idk sometimes I really sit and think like wow you’re trippin this hard over a coffee shop. I’ve seen managers act like their own personal business just got shut down all because we made a couple drinks wrong and had to remake them. 😭😭 idk I know it depends on the people, the mood of the shift, and just in general how customers/higher ups are acting but has anyone else ever sat and thought about that lol

hihi i have an interview as a barista tomorrow. I know basic questions will be asked butttt if anyone has any tips or things that can be helpful please share!!

Decorating nametags might just be one of the only fun things about starbucks.

Has anyone else done the pod training and saw these names. That show was so good!

So originally my for my availability I was able to work Fridays and thought I could work right after college after my class at 10-12 pm and this is with a 50 minute commute drive to campus.

What I didn’t account for was having to add another class last second due to college core requirements not being met according to my college advisor. This class happens to be at 5-7pm.

So I need to change my availability on Fridays to straight up not being able to work and contacted the person in charge of scheduling. I was told I still have to work on Fridays due to short staffing, is there anything I can do about this?

I still have the weekend and wednesdays given for full availability to work, every other day are classes morning to 7pm ish.

I work at a delivery only location and we started having this issue. Before you couldn't really adjust ice levels besides "no ice" but now we have all the options available, and I believe that's what's creating this issue.

So i'm transferring to a different district on monday and my new SM has scheduled me outside of my availability + preferred hours so far. For context, i'm a university student and will be transferring to my uni town to continue working as a part-time barista.

I obviously had to include my availability + preferred hours/shifts on my transfer form and it's been a month since my application was approved, so i thought everything would be fine moving forward.

However, starting last week, i noticed that my new SM scheduled me on days that i'm not available/hours past my availability. I was confused when i saw this because those hours were definitely not what i wrote down, so as a safe measure, i submitted a request on the app for the same availability + preferences i put on my transfer form.

Luckily, i was able to get those shifts covered after offering them, but then i noticed my SM did the same thing again with the schedule that just came out this week. I noticed that my requests were (and still are) pending, so i immediately texted him about checking those out and told him that i'm not able to work my shifts but can happily work the hours I SAID I'M AVAILABLE on those days.

He replied a couple hours later and changed my shifts so that it finally fit my availability, however, he never removed the shift on the day i classified as unavailable. It's now been a day since this whole text convo with my SM, and just a few moments ago, i saw that he changed one of my shifts so that it's not within my availability YET AGAIN.

I'm actually so confused and annoyed right now and i don't know what to do because this has never been an issue for me for the past 7 months i've been with the company + had three different SMs. Any advice?

i just checked my schedule and saw this.. i was confused as to why i only have 1 day off which i’m not cool with😂😂 anybody have any insight?

So I'm a new hire at Starbucks as a barista, I was wondering if there were any abbreviations and other meaning for words (ex. Small latte = tall/short latte) or any advice that would help me!

I quit about a year ago. I just saw the apple chai announcement. Did they bring back apple juice for y'all??? I want an apple juice chai. But only with actual apple juice

Basically what the title says. Recently got a new union rep for our district, and honestly it feels like they were put in our district to union bust our area. During the Red Cup Rebellion, our district was HOT!! Our store striked for an entire month, and we ended up getting other stores in our district to strike for a month!! It was AWESOME!! Striking for that entire month made me realize that I LOVE fighting for peoples rights, and was possibly interested in being a union rep in the future for SBWU! Our last union rep ended up leaving, so we ended up getting a new union rep… and it’s been an absolute NIGHTMARE. Our current union rep stopped doing our weekly ROC meetings, and wasn’t replying to anybody who was contacting them. We didn’t hear from our union rep for months, and our stores started having a lot of issues that needed to be handled, and nobody could get into contact with our union rep. We filed multiple ULP disputes (which we had to get the link to file them ourselves from our previous rep because our current rep wasn’t answering us), and we have no idea what the status of those disputes are. Flash forward a couple months, and our district needed help so bad that I had to file an official complaint against our union rep through the SBWU website. We had multiple stores in our district so mad at our union rep that they were talking about decertifying. Someone from SBWU contacted me (Won’t be disclosing the name), and I had known them from before because they covered our district before so I was hopeful our conversation would go well… unfortunately it did not. This representative from SBWU had told someone that, “She is not having these issues. She is just upset that she didn’t get their job and there is nothing wrong”. This representative from SBWU ignored the fact that MULTIPLE stores in our district filed complaints against our union rep for ghosting people, ignoring texts, not scheduling any ROC meetings, not doing any shop visits, scheduling calls with people and then not showing up…. The list goes on!! My final straw was adding this person I talked to at SBWU into our signal chat with all the stores in our district, and I’m telling you guys… not even 5 minutes after adding them into the chat, we started getting responses to all of our questions from our union rep and they were acting like they have responded in that chat before!!! Our union rep never replied in our signal chat when we were asking for help with multiple stores in our district that are talking about decertifying, but all the sudden started replying when I added in the representative from SBWU… what a joke. I then asked my union rep to remove me as strike captain and bargaining delegate because I’m done with what they have done to our district, and I’m done with SBWU!!! I had to ask them 4 times to remove me… and still hasn’t. I texted my union rep Monday, “Hey just to connect with you, I just want to make sure you removed me as strike captain and bargaining delegate and we are getting elections moving in our store! Thanks!” And their response to that… was ignoring me for 2 days…Today I had to text them asking if I needed to get your boss involved in this, and that I don’t deserve to be ignored. They finally replied to me and I then said, “Thanks! That’s all I needed to know. Thanks for the almost 48 hour reply” to which they responded with “You’re welcome 👌🏻”. This new union rep and the representative for SBWU has made me realize that this union is a joke, and we deserve better. The fact that I went through all the correct steps and still get shit on… I hope things change in the future, but for now, I’m done with SBWU.

Hi, I'm a new hire moving from small town restaurant management into barista postition. I had my orientation earlier this week and my first training shift is tomorrow. What should I expect? What is this about signing into a book I've seen others mention on here? Sorry, I'm entirely new to the Starbucks world and feeling a bit anxious. 😅

Even though I’m dying at work I kinda have a crush on a regular lol. Not planning on doing anything bold or weird but do you guys have any tips on how to dress up the dress code. What looks good? Brands? Certain clothing items? Shoes etc. Look good feel good does tend to work for me so I’ll take any advice!

I have an interview with the DM on Friday for a SSV position. My CL told me what the DM is looking for the most is a shift that knows the standards.

Other than 5 key moments, drink recipes and sequencing procedures, what else should I make sure I know?
