How late is too late? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Dorky_baby
We have a Shift that cant get us out on time after close. She transferred from a bigger, yet slower store about 2 months ago. She closes 4 of her 5 days and we always get out 1.5 to 2 hours after we are suppose to. The closing baristas are the sane ones bevause we have 4 that only close. When we close with other shifts we always get pit on time. But this whole closing at 9 and not leaving until midnight is getting tiring. And she's getting worse. She starts things and then doesn't finish and she has people do her job too.

I can’t imagine your SM is okay with that many unscheduled hours happening each week....

have you discussed this with your SM?

Um. That would def be too late. I could see if it was like a one time thing, one of those nights everything goes wrong...but every close...there’s a problem somewhere and your shift needs to be coached and/or held accountable by your SM

I have talked to my SM but she also just put her 3 weeks in. Besides the shift is the only one who can close that much each week.

I got written up for getting out ~30 minutes late semi-regularly, so I’m really surprised your manager isn’t more on top of this. Two+ hours on the regular is really bad and frankly pretty disrespectful to one’s baristas.

actual shift-specific closing duties should not take more than an hour to complete in their entirety. your shift needs to go lmao

Your sm is probably playing favorites. I’m a closing shift and I had to go through a whole dumb 60 day probation for taking 45 minutes a couple times. And I had legit reasons.

Maybe take it up with the district manager?

I’ve been out awhile but I remember getting out in ~30 minutes for a small (2 machine) store with a small cafe, and I don’t remember any store that had more than an hour scheduled for close. We did good closes with lots of prep on those times, too, so I don’t know what the hell your shift is doing.
