I worked for Starbucks for years. Every day I asked myself “how the fuck did this company get this huge?” The coffee is definitely not worth the price you pay as a customer. The vast majority of “leadership” is an absolute joke. All they care about is making money, that is why most complaints a barista has are ignored. No matter how valid. I worked at one of the highest volume stores in my region. We got a new manager, and to this day I wonder how she has kept her job. I was in the back and looked at the camera feeds randomly and saw her looking through the tip jar. Pulled out my phone and started recording. She stole cash out of it and I reported it. Nothing happened to her and I started being scheduled 8 hours a week for over a month. It’s not capitalism’s fault. Starbucks is just run by shitty humans. (Yes I know there are good ones too)

Some times dms have friends in specific places. My old roomie had lots of trouble transferring and whatnot due to her filing complaints about her store manager. they create a file on you and your career at Starbucks and judge you off of your profile. It’s because it’s corporate.
