We just got Nitro today and the sent us t shirts and pins! I also got my christmas apron and one of the plastic water bottles! It was like a mini christmas today. I’m so excited for the holidays! (i.redd.it)

I get so jealous of corporate starbucks baristas...you guys get so much cool stuff. Here at my Barbux I'm lucky if my manager lets me sneak a crossaint home :x

Barbux as in B&N? Because same, I also think our black aprons are ugly compared to green (or Christmas!) ones at corporate stores 😭

cactuskirby 3 points 3y ago

I think the black aprons were a step up from the old ones! But still not as nice as the corporate Starbucks!

You get to keep your red apron? Ours can't leave the store; our SM is gonna have to take them home to clean them because we aren't allowed.

Massy_182 8 points 3y ago

Woah, our store is getting some for every partner(45ish) so I’d feel so bad for SM if he had to wash them all haha

CriticalSheep 10 points 3y ago

Yeah we only got 20. I plan on wearing my green one because I really don't feel like wearing one that smells like spoiled milk.

yooolivejuice 6 points 3y ago

Yeah, same here. We have about 40 partners at our store and only got 20 aprons. I’ve always wondered why we couldn’t have a full amount of red aprons sent? Like we get 2 green ones when we start, we get all of these t-shirts now... why not a full set of holiday aprons?

CriticalSheep 6 points 3y ago

Probably because they're not ours to keep. We have to send them back. It's just another way the Siren keeps making money off us and lets us have nothing in return.

yooolivejuice 4 points 3y ago

I guess since we can only wear them for such a short amount of time that makes sense, but... it’s still pretty lame, haha

CriticalSheep 7 points 3y ago

Definitely. One of my shifts is a 146xxxx and she likes to brag about how she has two red aprons, one of which is embroidered. Like oh man you're so cool... meanwhile my eyes are rolling into the next city.

synthwave18 [OP] 3 points 3y ago

Ours are numbered and we have to give them back after holiday season I believe. In the past they’ve only apparently sent three to our store, but this year they sent one for everyone? Not sure if we’ll actually get to keep them or not.

mikejwb 2 points 3y ago

That’s so dumb. That is not Starbucks policy at all. Just your SM.

synthwave18 [OP] 2 points 3y ago

I mean it is what it is, it doesn’t bother me a lot. I’m just excited since it’s my first holiday season apron :)

DevilXann 5 points 3y ago

You got more than me when I was hired. My bf and i (before we started dating) were the only 2 new hires, yet they gave him everything, handbook 2 aprons etc and i was lucky to get ONE APRON. I literally only got one apron when i was hired lmao. I even asked if they could order me one more since i work 30+ hours and they said no. :)

wish us tarbucks employees could relate 🙏

baengali 2 points 3y ago

lol my store got nitro stuff but we don’t even have nitro 😂

Alefur 2 points 3y ago

We got nitro a while back and its so good, the nitro shots were a fun little event and a free shirt is always nice 👌 We got our red aprons the other day and im excited to be able to wear it on Thursday!

Coprorate barista here: we don’t get red aprons, only certain shifts and the SM.

mango_drango 5 points 3y ago

They sent 20 aprons to every store this year. In the past most have only gotten 2-4

nightkat89 3 points 3y ago

That true of EVERY store though?

mango_drango 1 points 3y ago

At least most. I don’t work for corporate lmao

graceluvsashley 3 points 3y ago

As per our holiday meeting, they are sending a lot more red ones this year. Everyone at my store is getting one.

nightkat89 2 points 3y ago

Havnt had ours yet. This weekend I guess.

I see

synthwave18 [OP] 1 points 3y ago

I work at a corporate store as well. That’s what they did last year according to my manager but it ended up being different this year I guess

nightkat89 2 points 3y ago

Oh? Did everyone get one at your store this year?

synthwave18 [OP] 1 points 3y ago

Yeah! Sorry I thought I was replying to the comment where I mentioned that. So basically last year they only got 3. They were for the shifts and manager, but this year they sent enough for everyone!
