So delivery drivers are striking because of the 7-month contract DPI drew up and the drivers are demanding a longer contract. We were lead to believe that our food deliveries were going to be halted and deliver through Penske, but we would still get milk and RTD&E from DPI. I should also note that my store is very high volume and we get dpi every other night. We’ve been without food for days and it’s unbelievably frustrating to tell every single customer “I’m sorry, but we have no food items to offer at this moment.” Starbucks literally gave us a dialogue to tell customers. “Starbucks is aware of the strike but we are not a party in the negotiations. We are working quickly to find another distributor.” Last week, I personally asked my delivery guy (he’s really chill and all the closing ssv have a good relationship with him) why he was still delivering for the company and not striking. He told me that no one is striking, yet. And that there’s an entire warehouse full of frozen food to be delivered - Starbucks just isn’t putting in the orders. This seems sketchy to me and I feel like there’s something they’re not telling us. I found an article based in Chicago that features a DPI spokesperson saying that he doesn’t know why starbucks is blaming DPI. They’re holding up they’re end of the contract. It’s simply a matter of Starbucks not putting through the food orders. Has anyone else looked into this?
