Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

I printed this meme and left it in the back at our Starbucks and my manager said we’d get written up if we ever leave memes in the back again. I didn’t even tape it up. Guess it just hit too close.. (i.redd.it)

Your manager is a square. We need a little laughter at this job...like it’s just coffee 🤷🏼‍♀️

I worked for Starbucks for 7 months and this is exactly how it was at my store too. Seems like it happens at every store.

Every store is like this because most managers want to work 7-3 or 9-5. They never see the closers except for in passing.

I had a manager at one point who I only saw at store meetings, because he always left early once he finished all his managerial stuff.

I second this. And since they work during that time, they pad the schedules like crazy so THEY don’t feel overwhelmed on the floor but they’re also happy to schedule only 2 people to close during happy hour bc they use up all the labor for morning.

maybe it’s my fault for only following 5 work-related subs on my work reddit, but I’ve seen this meme so many times in the past week

Getting bitched at because of what I didn’t complete in 4 hours what could’ve been done by mornings 9 person crew and 8 hours 😍😍😍

my store is the exact opposite of this, I work closes and opens and openers constantly are finishing the close in the morning, and starting most of the closing tasks super early to try to prevent these awful closes and they somehow just get worse the more the day crew tries to help out with the close.

Get one of those customizable personal cups for your drinks in the back and put memes on it.
