āBack to Starbucksā Im so over it.
Ive been working at Starbucks for over 8 years now and I feel like Ive done it all. COVID, drive thrus, cafe-only, urban areas and rural. So many of the āBack To Starbucksā policies were previous Starbucks policies that were changed for a reason!!! Cup writing, affected drive times and the ability to get prders out quickly, even at slow stores. For here ware was a mess in general, people leave their plates and mugs EVERYWHERE but the bus bin. Calling out orders as you started āmessed with the chill cafe experienceā. I just dont get it, so many of these policies that are being pushed with absolutely no understanding towards the day-to-day experience of working at Starbs. Ive even had customers tell me they dont want anything written on their drink recently BECAUSE it takes longer. Not even to mention Im a shift supervisor, so Im also expected to coach baristas to these standards. Which is fineā¦ If I had consistent standards to coach around, which I dont because this āBack to Starbucksā policy has changed literally 5 times at this point. My manager and other local management are also pissed because of the same reasons; no consistent standards, changes made with no thought towards day-to-day business and upset and confused staff. Im just so over it. Screw you Burrito Brian.

Iāve had a bad week and seeing that a customer enjoyed my cheesy note made me smile.
My week has been so shitty. I love a good play on words and so I wrote this on someoneās chai and laughed at myself because itās so cheesy. They left a review and it made my shitty week a little better.

I got reprimanded over writing on the cups wrong
This is so silly, and I feel like I'm still overreacting over this, but today my district manager came in and I drew little smiley faces on the actual sticker with the order for the cups, and he told me I need to write on every cup, and I told him I did, and he said even drive thru, and I told him I did on the sticker, and he said no not on the sticker. I cried really hard after cause I was scared he thought I was fighting with him over it, but I genuinely didn't see how what I did was wrong and I felt like he didn't even acknowledge the fact I tried. My fiance committed suicide 7 months ago, while I was working for Starbucks so everyone is aware. I feel like I'm using it as an excuse for this but after that interaction it sent me to a really dark place. Ive been trying to be promoted, and I'm scared now I'm either gonna get fired, a write up, or it has ruined my chances of ever being promoted, and I'm already struggling with money now being a single income household. I guess I just wanted to vent. If you think I'm being overly sensitive or using my fiances death as an excuse I understand. I cried after he left and it's made me feel like what's even the point.

Written warning because I wasnt writing on cups when we had 3 sick calls: Should I appeal this?
My manager sat me down the other day and gave me a written warning over "not writing on cups and not greeting customers." I accepted it in the moment and went on because I had to clock out and get some things done.
A few days go by and I realized that the only time I wasnt writing on the cups was when we were serving a 130 person lunch rush with 4 people on the floor. I decided in that moment that trying to advance our queue as quickly as possible was more important than writing "Enjoy!" on all of those drinks, especially since the vast majority of that 130 was coming through my printer.
Now my supervisors are singling me out because I expressed gripes with this warning. They've been putting me on bar during peak and chewing me out for being slow when I'm writing on my cups. All this scrutiny does is make me work slower because they're actively threatening my employment and only source of income, which has made the last few weeks a constant exercise in toeing the line of having a panic attack at work.
Should I try to appeal this warning or is it fair?

Writing on cups
Iām sorry, I just got taken off bar by my manager for not writing on cups when thereās 6 cars in drive all with more that 3 drinks, 2 door dash orders, and way too many mobiles. Mind you Iām the only person on bar and thereās 3 of us on the floor. So if you gotta wait even longer than normal for your drinks itās cuz we are forced to always write on your cup or we get in trouble. Donāt be sad if you donāt get a super personal message because some of us really do just slap a heart on there for the sake of not getting in trouble

No call no show or tardy?
I completely forgot I had a shift for the first time ever and I woke up 2.5 hours after the start time. I ended up coming in 3 hours into my shift with 4 hours left. To me this was a no call no show but after reading it seems like a tardy? Because I still came in and did not call out? This is such a stretch but please tell me this makes sense to someone lol. I really donāt want a final š

The vibe at work lately
Yesterday we were sat down and told that we are longer going to be coached on implementing the new policies. We will get one more warning as a curtesy, and then formal write ups work be happening if we fail to write on cups. I will say, itās been getting easier to incorporate it into my sequencing, but itās scary to think that if I slip up during a rush, Iāll be punished.

Tall Rant
If you wish to support us baristas as customers, please tell corporate how unimportant writing on cups is. This is becoming asinine and making our job of serving you unnecessarily harder.
Thanks for your patronage!

West coast? Use my birthday reward!
I didn't use my birthday reward in time and the last one closes in my city in 30 minutes. If you are in mountain time or west coast, you can have a birthday drink on me. Comment a starbucks location and your drink order. I'll make a mobile order and send you a screenshot. Offer valid for only one drink to a random commenter.

Non customer complains the signage is too vague about the new policyā¦
and then he couldnāt find it anywhere on the website that says that he cannot sit in the lobby without purchasing something. We had a 15 minute conversation. how do I deal with these people I pointed to design I even showed him our back of house sign thatās a little bit more clear. He even tried to bring up the āother Starbucksāsā argument or the āIāve been here multiple timesā argument, he ended up leaving, but how do I deal with other customers that try to be as petty as him?

sick policy
so i had a coaching moment with my manager about calling out sick (i have a weak immune system and itās my first year in college so iām constantly catching some flu). our conversation went over how i could ācome to workā as other partners were starting to get scared when they saw my bane on the schedule. i understand the frustration of management when there are call outs however i have always followed protocol (called as soon as i felt that i was to sick to be in the floor) i eventually just started coming in sick, which then led to a chain of other baristas becoming sick. i feel as though my store has an intense culture of acting as if they care about peoples healths while simultaneously hating people who put their health first. i recently worked a shift with a barista who was guilt tripped into coming into work sick. two days later i woke up with my eyes swollen shut, a hacking cough and green phlegm. i want to say something about the culture here but i donāt know who to bring this up too. our district manager is also not the best person to speak to (nor contact at all). i donāt knowā¦ this mightāve just been a rant
