Could I get fired for a mobile order I placed accidentally? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by BaRiStAbAbE3
Hey there guys.
So I’ve been with the company for nearly three years. This morning, I placed a mobile order for a friend to go pick up for me, and usually I place it under the name River. So she calls me and says, “hey, your mobile isn’t at this store, they said there isn’t an order with that name.” So I say, “ okay, let me double check.” To my horror, when I open the app, it doesn’t say “Welcome, River” it says, “Welcome Mcfuckin” and I am in COMPLETE shock! I’m guessing it was an April fools day prank from my brother. I ask the friend to order the items, not to pick up the drink. So she did. Fast forward a couple of hours later. My manager asks for my email. Could I get fired for this??

She actually emailed me and some other shift supervisors! 😅
Thanks for answering and helping me feel less anxious about it!!

So you paid for the McFunkin' order but didn't pick it up, right? And then your friend ordered and paid, right? The "transgression" you might be fired for would just be the salty name on the order? Have I got that right? And you did not know of , nor intend to send, that altered joke name, right? I would not think you would be fired, particularly if you explain that you were not sending a hate message out of anger. My advice, explain apologetically. If your SM flips, react calmly, and then take it up the chain to DM and/or pcc. This was a mistake. Hope it just blows over!

And right, she didn’t pick it up

Btw, I bet your SM wanted everyone 's email. They are trying to have policy updates get out to everyone quicker. You are probably worried for nothing. (Ain't nobody got time to investigate abandoned mobile drinks!)

Yeah, I didn’t intend to be hateful, or even be funny. I didn’t know the name was changed. 🤦🏼‍♀️
