‘‘Tis the season for buying gift cards in DT (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by bbun223
Dear person who decides to buy 20 gift cards of various amounts in the middle of peak in dt, and then continue to order 3 fraps and egg bites at the window. I hope you have a terrible day.

Sincerely every person wearing a headset.

I'm so grateful to be working in a cafe-only store. I don't know how y'all do it

Actually we just die, there is no doing it.

I’m pretty sure I say “someone fucking kill me” a minimum of twice a day over the headset

They sell gifts cards online now for various amounts for this reason. I think there might be an amount limit where you can tell them they can purchase the whole amount online. I could be wrong too, but our area had a holiday launch meeting where the sm's let us know about this and to just ask them if the amount they are asking for is too much for drive or at all and to direct them online.

I understand this stupid annoyance. How hard is it to come inside and buy all these gift cards or go online and buy in bulk?
