kikitsiv 15 points 3y ago
second tens? we don’t know her
glassesbarista17 12 points 3y ago
6 hour shift, nah. 7 or 8 yeah we get a second ten.
stonerscout455 [OP] 5 points 3y ago
i’ve had two 8 hour shifts this week n only one ten😭
glassesbarista17 5 points 3y ago
Oh man that’s rough 😅. I’ve done plenty of 4 hour shifts with no ten at all. But usually if the shift sees were here for 5+ then we get some sort of break

You should definitely reach out to PRSC if you’re not getting your breaks. Starbucks policy is under 6 hours 1 ten and 6 hours you get 1 ten and 1 lunch and 7-8 hours an additional 10. It should all be on your DCR, managers can’t take them off anymore.
ilovebrandonj 2 points 3y ago
They’re on the DCR, but that doesn’t mean that the shifts give them
NOTcreative- 1 points 3y ago
I’m aware which is why i pointed it out in case you didn’t know they can be found there. If that’s the case, reach out to your manager. If they don’t respond reach out to PRSC, ethics and compliance hotline, or your DM. Skipping breaks is a HUGE violation. Any and all of those people should be available at your convenience to fix the situation.

yes. my store manager is a firm believer in two things 1) equal rights 2) he needs a second ten for a sausage cheddar

this is so cute 🥺
CriticalSheep 3 points 3y ago
Every single shift I have. I always work 8 hours or more and always take my second ten.

My daughter used to work at a sbux and said she got tens every two hours. I was happily looking forward to getting them too when I started as I have back problems and being able to rest a little every once in a while helps. But, no such luck at the store I’m working at. The first time I asked about getting a second ten the shift looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears.

Depends on state maybe they changed that rule I use too for like my first 5 years at Starbucks the rest it’s a solid 8 hour shift we get another 10 at least where I am. Smh
JCaligirl420 3 points 3y ago
Nope, not any more, some stores in my area still do it, and depending on how the night goes I’ll give my baristas two 10’s
stonerscout455 [OP] 3 points 3y ago
then why do they even mention it now is my thing? please don’t tell me i’ll have 2 opportunities (not including 30) to sit during an 8 hour shift and then not deliver, i have scoliosis so i literally leave in pain everyday, let alone after working 5 hours straight with no break.

My old store used to give second tens. My new store does not and I miss them! It may be because MD requires fifteens instead of tens? And with labor cuts, its hard to fit the second round of fifteens in...

we get one ten for 4+ hours, a ten and a half for 6+ hours, a ten, a half, and another ten for 8+ hours, a ten, a half, and two more tens for 10+ hours. i worked one day where i got two halves but idk how long that was, probably 12...?

i think i’ve gotten a second 10 like once. i don’t mind too much though because if i work a longer shift it’s usually at night and i’d rather get stuff done so we can get out sooner.
hlysmkstsbnnywrm 1 points 3y ago
My store only gives them to the favored baristas
crowbarboobie 1 points 3y ago
i usually dont get a 10 at all, esp if im closing
crzyshiba 1 points 3y ago
How do we only get 10s and 30s. My other job I feel like I hardly work I get two 15s and one 45
stonerscout455 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
that’s what i’m saying!
crzyshiba 2 points 3y ago
Right I think those extra 5 min will make a huge difference
brave_lil_jellybean 1 points 3y ago
Here!

But. I am a minor so probably doesnt count just realized that
realsheeps 1 points 3y ago
it differs entirely by state and area within that state. as a shift i give the mandated breaks as well as breaks here and there if my peeps need it. if we're ahead in the night and you've been busting ass trying to get us closed, go ahead and chill for fifteen minutes on your phone, i don't care. but look up labor laws in your state and county. also look at your DCR for the day, as they should be accurately reflected on there.
realsheeps 3 points 3y ago
in any case for adults, not minors, here in my area of florida, we get a ten every four hours, a lunch every 5.75 or 6, and a second ten at i believe eight. i rely super heavily on the DCR because it's hard to remember those increments, and because the DCR is pulled from a program, and neither your SM nor DM can edit break allotments, you can trust it.
