Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

So recently my stuff got thrown away... (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by mgordon14
This past Thanksgiving, I was closing with at my current store. When I got there, I place my backpack down in the backroom, in a large, open cardboard box to keep it out of the way. However, other boxes got stacked on top of it, and someone threw them all away, including my backpack.
Needless to say, this was a big deal. While thankfully my laptop and phone were of it, but thing like my wallet, keys, class notes, and a smart watch (though I got that for free) were all lost to the dumpster. To replace all of it, it is about $200, not a small amount for a college kid. I was wondering is there's any way to get reimbursed for this, and has anyone else had this happen to them?

Boxes are supposed to be flattened anyway so that's just laziness that no one caught your backpack

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. According to policy, you are solely responsible for your personal items at work and Starbucks will not accept any liability for lost or stolen personal items. Page 47 of the partner guide lays out this policy

File a complaint man, that's totally out of line

I would love to, but I have no idea where

Talk to your RM if you haven't already. Or find out who did it and seek reimbursement from them.

Did you go search the dumpster?!

I was going to, but in near-comical fashion the dump truck had come just a minute before I found out my stuff was gone
