no literally, there’s a new promotion every week but they still don’t staff us enough EVER. or give us enough hours. it’s insane. it would also be different if we got anything for teaching the sales goals, managers get bonuses, but baristas don’t & have to do all the work & upsale
Yeah and it doesn’t help that sometimes we’re not given enough of advance to schedule (at least so it seems) so it throws store managers under the bus for it too
Yeah pretty much. They chalked it up to “horrible service” because of it. But I kid you not, as soon as 12 hit, I had 40+ cold bar drinks and ran out of room to place more incoming orders.
I close and our most useless partners Calle sour for the entire weekend ( literally this girl has been at my store a month and has called out half her shifts) so we gained by losing really. But I’m about to lose it with these fucking specials.
It’s fine. I’m the only barista who can handle bar on Saturday mornings. I’ll be fine 🥹only have to handle 8hrs of bar including about 5 hrs of solo bar 😭
hoping its not bad at my store our customers only seem to really care about bogos and not double/triple star day, 50% off, $3 grande drinks.. hoping 4 for $20 is also not a big deal lol
Writing this on my 10 - the worst part is that it’s not $20. Mods cost extra, and even if you do no mods, there’s still tax so it ends up being like $21.75 or something. Most people have been confused but cool with it at least
Especially the random ones they give the customers but we have no clue so all of a sudden people are asking about deals we weren’t told about (Monday deal drops) even worse when the customers think they have one thing but it’s something else and they get mad over us not informing them beforehand
Bogo once a week I work somewhere with a farmers market directly outside as well as music festivals once a week and dancing once a week the only plus is I WORK IN A CAFE STORE
My store has been experiencing the unexpected passing of a beloved coworker/shift this week, Saturday she was supposed to work with us, and someone else called off. So we were working the whole day with 2-3 people on the floor and it was hell. Drive times were up to 3 minutes, even with mobiles off.
Of course I have an 8 hour shift tomorrow. Just kill me now. I hate it here
Like I love my job but this company and these deals are really pushing me over the edge

I called my local Starbucks looking for a job and they said they aren't hiring, but it does feel like you guys are understaffed which is a bummer.
wE gEt MoRe LaBoR 🙄
Right? I was just talking to someone last night and we were both talking about quitting. We didn’t even know we both worked at Starbucks lmao
I am so sorry omg

Oh my god. Were they all about the wait times or?
Yeah pretty much. They chalked it up to “horrible service” because of it. But I kid you not, as soon as 12 hit, I had 40+ cold bar drinks and ran out of room to place more incoming orders.
Oh my fuck... I hate it here..

I went on leave recently and then told my manager I wasn't coming back two weeks later lol.
hoping its not bad at my store our customers only seem to really care about bogos and not double/triple star day, 50% off, $3 grande drinks.. hoping 4 for $20 is also not a big deal lol
I only saw maybe 4-5 today and I worked 5-12.
Was this on the calendar cause I don’t recall it being there? Did they just decide to screw us over?
Yeah it wasnt there was supposed to be no deal this week
Is this shit in the morning too or just 12 to 6? About to go in... ugh. Our DM and SM are gonna be there today too. Fucking end me now.
Nope, it’s all day🥲
[удалено]
Our calendar has been posted since last month. The 4 for $20 promo isn't on there because corporate only gave us two (maybe one) days notice.
We might but like I said, I’m on leave and haven’t been in my store since the summer berry launch lmao😂😂

Can I get an update? Was it as bad as everyone expected? Just based on my experience, it doesn’t seem to me like that would drive that much traffic.
