Back when I shifted. Managers told me they "had to hurry up and go home, but they made cold brew" right before they left our team to this. I should call corporate.... but I already quit though....(i.redd.it)

That. Is. Disgusting.

If you think that's gross, you should have seen the mold under the countertops, and behind the menu boards. I feel bad for our remodel crew, they are definitely going to have to wear hazmat suits

Look at all that water pooling though. Besides a health and safety issue, it presents a horrible working condition. Sorry you had to deal with this 🤢😓

Yeah and then if QASA came your manager would be angry and ask why you failed
schroedingerzbarista14 points3y ago
QASA is dead.
Dwelling_Theory [OP]4 points3y ago

QASA/ecosure same thing they both really suck I know that for a fact

personally i would have called corporate and my district manager with photos timestamps and messages from my managers and done everything in my power to have them fired or at least disciplined.
Dwelling_Theory [OP]24 points3y ago
Oh yes it is....
barista4207823 points3y ago
This looks like my back room every hand off I have! But let me forget one thing on my close, and I’m the main closer btw, the other shifts refuse to close, I get passive aggressive texts the next morning. Like make sure the freezer is plugged in, when we found out it’s been catching on fire at the outlet! Oh the joys to be a partner.
Dwelling_Theory [OP]15 points3y ago
I feel your pain. Trust me. I was a dedicated closer also. I just quit. McDonalds is cleaner and pays more lmfaoooooooo. Plus you actually have labor so you would have a team. I quit, and dont even regret it. They can have that nonsense, while I go get a job that allows me to be sick.
maRkmyvvoRds20 points3y ago
Our store too.
We’ve had call offs every day the last two weeks.
Our manager threw out our old floor mats because he ordered new ones— it’s been a week and they haven’t come.
We’re all about to lose our minds. I wish I was kidding. The store is filthy, we’re all completely demoralized.
I went off on my manager today— he came back from a conference in Chicago, started going on about connections with customers and store energy— I shut it down. I told him, “don’t start, don’t say what you’re going to say— the stores need to be better staffed, we need to be paid more,”
“Well I hire people and schedule them but they don’t show up—“
I cut him off “— pay us and staff the stores and they will— no one can stand coming in here, we hate it, we dread every day. It’s too much stress.”
It’s too much. I don’t care anymore. It’s not worth it.
davidblane28122 points3y ago
Did everyone’s store manager come back with that brainwashed mentality about how Chicago was great and “customer connection and store energy” 😂😂😂 shut that shit down real QUICK!
leopardsocks10 points3y ago
YES. We were just joking that our SM is now enlightened after returning from Chicago!
Dwelling_Theory [OP]7 points3y ago
What a disaster!!!!! I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. It seems like no matter what store we work at, it will be the same old same old. I'm done now. And I know the partners that work for this company are great people and we do deserve more. More money, help, and appreciation. There are so many other jobs out there that will care for us. This is just fast food. The next Caribou Coffe I guess.... hang in there!
Melodienicole5 points3y ago
I just honestly want to know when the fuck are they giving us a LIVING WAGE!
I’m so so close to quitting for a second time and I thought this was going to get better but it ain’t happening. “But you got all this benefits” well yeah, tell that to my bills you moron!
I am so sorry for myself and for all of you guys that are in this company. Much love.
icelessTrash5 points3y ago
At our grocery store, they just put up a poster offering $100 bonuses for referring a new hire.
They can't just offer decent wages or give us full time hours, to take care of the store? We are overwhelmed and overrun by ants and fruit flies atm... And we are right near many schools that are back in session.
maRkmyvvoRds8 points3y ago
Yep. The fly problem is intense at our store. But what do they expect? It’s all hands on deck for customer service— we’re burned out—
Today I was in DTO and the last hour of my shift I chimed into the headset between cars “I can’t do window and DTO, I can’t,”
I couldn’t. Physically could not multitask, and I’m usually a DT rock star/ multitasking. I can’t do it. I couldn’t do it.

Those managers should be responsible for the garbage runs for the next month and sanitizing that entire area and the bins. Unacceptable on all levels. Cant blame you for leaving.
Dwelling_Theory [OP]8 points3y ago
Haha I agree 100%! Thanks for the validation haha
KelseyDove9 points3y ago
What’s frustrating is the manager that stares at the baristas, as they are struggling to get their tasks done during closing time, and only call the baristas out on mistakes. The managers don’t help, and just supervise, and Instead of having three people closing, is two people doing the closing tasks.
Dwelling_Theory [OP]6 points3y ago
True, although shift managers do have a bit of backroomish type things to do. I felt I was a decent shift. My pulls wouldnt go longer than 35 mins or so. And I did the count here and there when I could git it in. I mostly was a barista with the keys. It is the SM's that wont punish the mid shift but instead come after my integrity. Our store is more of a higher-up issue I feel.
KelseyDove4 points3y ago
That I understand. Like Shifts have to count food and money, but after they are done and we are closing. They just stand there.
identifying_as_tired3 points3y ago
You only took 35 minutes!? Our main closing shift spends literally about 3 hours in the back room at the end of the night. She does not leave the back room after 4:30pm and we close at 8.
Dwelling_Theory [OP]2 points3y ago
Tell them to get off their ass and make their $11/hr
melmoney313 points3y ago
My SM left over an hour early once when we were down a person, wait in our long ass line to order drinks and food while I had to stay late, and then had the audacity to tell me to “coach” someone to smile more. Needless to say, I no longer work for the Bucks.
theblackkeysweb8 points3y ago
Oh god the back of your store is baaaaad
Dwelling_Theory [OP]6 points3y ago
Lmao yeahhhhh I should definetly call someone. Its daily over there.
ChicaDeSade6 points3y ago
Holy fuck....
METAXILLUS5 points3y ago
I would have left that there for the next shift.
Write me up.
I want this documented.
Dwelling_Theory [OP]3 points3y ago
Daaaaamn!!! I should have honestly. I just tried to impress to hard. It's all done now!
barista420784 points3y ago
It was just announced yesterday we will have more labor on our schedules! Saturday night was awful, I had 3 people after 8 on game day, which the stadium 2 miles away seats 85k+!!!
Dwelling_Theory [OP]3 points3y ago
Ahhhh victory! It sucks that they didnt consider it before hand, but what matters is you got the help now. Makes me happy to hear partners winning. As for this location photographed, our manager never works nights, and will not schedule for help. Just put it all on the closer. As a matter a fact, when she is scheduled she is in the back room lmaooo.
barista420782 points3y ago
I totally understand that. Our manager never works past 4-5 even if he’s scheduled on the floor. I had a manager a lot a different store that was never in and out herself and a partner that wasn’t with us any more on the schedule during Christmas at the mall!
StormTheParade2 points3y ago
More labour is only 8 more hours per week, wasn't that the announcement?
missweach3 points3y ago
This happens to your stores, but I cant get a call back and am eager to work. Crazy. Sorry you had to deal with this.
Dwelling_Theory [OP]2 points3y ago
Keep on trying. I know they will hire you. They need you lol.
missweach1 points3y ago
It's been 5 months.
itsssmila3 points3y ago
At first i loved working and seeing my partners everyday (atleast the ones i like 😂) But literally the pay is shit, i’ve been there for a year and all i had was a 10 cent raise like wtf is that 😑
Dwelling_Theory [OP]3 points3y ago
It wont get any better unfortunatly. Even as a shift I wasnt even at $12. Bye bye haha

Ha. Reminds me of when years ago some buddies covered a shift/barista close from a different store. Not only didn’t they stock anything, there was a ton of trash all around the bin. The trash bin itself was still empty, like they hadn’t considered even opening it to check. ::facepalm:: both eventually became managers (and both were untimely let go, for I assume idiocy at a core level)
Dwelling_Theory [OP]3 points3y ago
Lmfaooo gotta love how the lazy ones get the promotions all the time. The hard workers in this company just get used and held down. But I hope things are better over there lol.
Btw borrowed partners can be the worst lmao
ritadere2 points3y ago
Yuuuup. I still work hard, but don’t go the extra mile as much anymore. Not worth it when I’ve been a barista and trainer for five years and never get recognition or a raise for it. :( they think a fucking meditation app for free subscription and some slight increase in stock is suppose to make me happy? That shit doesn’t pay for my college or rent.....just sayin
Dwelling_Theory [OP]2 points3y ago
For real! We dont want the perks that they hide from us anyway! What we need is $$$$$cash. Even McDonalds got the memo...
