When the Customer Supports You (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Siren_Song252
Me: yeah, we only make about $9 an hour.

One of our regulars: THAT’S INSANE! You all deserve to be payed WAY MORE! I mean, with all the crap you put up with! THAT’S NOT RIGHT! THAT’S NOT RIGHT AT ALL!

She seriously got heated and ended up giving us a $5 tip. She usually tips us a dollar or two each day when she comes in. It’s these customers that give me hope.

Shouldn't be on the customer to give us a bigger tip because they feel bad for us. Don't get me wrong, very nice thing and that person is a saint but still, this company makes a ton of money. Like enough to open up stores all the time and have them thrive. They're simply selling out their good name and letting the staff suffer. I'm not saying it should be some dream job but when the core of the people that make your business run suffer you clearly need to look at your model.

California we make 14.27 but cost of living is more expensive here
FoxyOnTheRun_ 5 points 3y ago
Depends where in CA too though. I’m in the Central Valley and only make 12
crzyshiba 3 points 3y ago
Oh ok I’m in southern Cali how weird I didn’t know that
FoxyOnTheRun_ 1 points 3y ago
Think it’s higher in San Francisco too but who knows, min wage is weird in general 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, hope the above didn’t come off as pedantic!! I was just feeling jealous of your extra two bucks lol

I’m in the San Jose area, and I make $15.90/hr. This is at a third party company though. But prices in the Bay Area are terrible. Our 2 bedroom house goes for ~$2500. And that’s cheap imo, for a house.

Even making almost $16 an hour, I’m struggling to make ends meet 😭

I’m at a Tarbucks in the Bay Area and we make $15.50 an hour!
crzyshiba 1 points 3y ago
WTH ? That’s it I want to transfer haha
JustMonique 1 points 3y ago
LOL, it’s so expensive to live in the area though. :(
crzyshiba 1 points 3y ago
Yeah true

crzyshiba 1 points 3y ago
What ? I’m in l.a

My store started me off at 9.50 and minimum wage here is 7.50. My sister was mad I was making more than her at the job she’d been at for over two years PLUS the tips I get.
yosoyboi 3 points 3y ago
Geez. I make almost 19 dollars an hour as a supervisor, but that’s in Canada. Still worth about 14.25USD/hour.

I made 12 when I worked at the Bux and I lived in NC at the time.

9 is ridiculous.
thatc0fveve-h0 2 points 3y ago
Must’ve gone down since then? Baristas in my area of NC start at 9.35. I make 11.13 as a supervisor.
Fire_Eternity 1 points 3y ago
Damn.
