As many of you are venting, people won't fucking go home. Instead, literally everyone and their mother are coming through for fraps and stupid shit constantly. Which means our line is wrapped to the gas station and sometimes even the street. I came in at 12 yesterday to a full wrap, and we closed with a full wrap. We were actually only scheduled two people to close, myself and my shift on duty. Thank fuck we had two absolutely, incredible partners who stayed and helped us close. However, we were concerned on how to deal with the customers who dont get our service once we close. They're always pissed. Our last car at 7 was a mobile (yaaaay! Because it was ready lol) the next person in line... was Tiffany.. now I dont know her name but I feel this name sums her up. This woman had the audacity to sit at the order box for a couple minutes (we took our headsets off immediately), then drove up to the window and sat there for a good 15 minutes before it got annoying and fucking weird so our shift talked to her. She wanted to get one of those bag thingys you share with people. My shift informed her that its a traveler and all our machines are off but if she came by next time a little earlier or call ahead, we'd be happy to do it. Hell, we even offered her cold brew but she wasnt having it. She wanted her traveler. Finally she shut the window on her and walked away. This tiffany chick has the audacity to sit there for another 5 to 10 minutes and wrote a note which my shift immediately grabbed when tiffany stuck it on the window and crumpled it up. Then tiffany left and flipped us off in her little blue slug bug car. It was a long rant but fuck man! Stop being entitled!! Fuck off and go make these people a damn pot of coffee you lazy shit!
However, this tiffany lady made my night hilarious. Shes a different level of Karen man. Right after Susan's and the pink drink twins

On the 2nd to last night my store was open before we closed, we had a woman in a blue slug bug come into our lobby to use our WiFi (my barista working drive told her it was ok, which she SHOULD NOT HAVE because we were already doing a closed lobby). She then stays in our lobby for over 30 minutes when I told her we were closing in an additional 30 minutes. She says “oh well I hope this finishes uploading by then” and I just smiled but I wanted to be like “well we close in 30 minutes so either way you have to get out by then”. Wellll, closing rolls around. I make a point to slowly and go lock the other door. She doesn’t get up. So then I say “I’m so sorry ma’am but I do have to lock the doors now”. She says “oh just 10 more minutes!!” I say “we’re closed now, we have to start closing the store” and then she proceeds to show me her screen and say “but look how close it is!” And I just say “sorry”. Like what?! The one week we were open during this whole quarantine business was one of the busiest weeks I have EVER worked. Could not believe the entitlement of some people! This woman after standing for 30 minutes had asked me if she could pull a chair. I was hesitant but I agreed because she was a teacher. But why take advantage of my kindness? Overall the woman was in our store for an hour, when no one was supposed to be in our lobby. I talked to the barista working drive after and told her to never do that again LOL. Yes I am the shift who doesn’t play around, and yes I’m the shift who doesn’t let customers get over on us!

Why couldn’t she just sit outside and finish the upload? It’s just 10 minutes.

Doesn't Starbucks wifi just turn itself off when the store's closed? I tried pirating their wifi once to figure out how to get to where I'm going and this message popped up saying wifi's unavailable because the store's closed.

That’s interesting. I’ve wondered about the WiFi after close, usually just head out after doors locked. I’m guessing it’s programmed into the router if it does say that.

Another blue slug bug?

Making 9k a day during this time is fucking annoying.

my store closes at 6 because we’re mostly surrounded by offices so we don’t get much business after they all leave for the night. the amount of people who will sit at the speaker, tell me our speaker is broken while i’m taking trash out, or stare at us through the window is crazy. my store is closed right now because if everything, and honestly, i kind of miss it

At my store sometimes when a SM or a shift comes in on their own or when we need to bring in more stock because we’ve ran out of literally everything just about we will have those few idiots try to come in and it’s like have you been living under a freakin rock ALL CAFES ARE CLOSE! We had some old lady try to come in the other day and we are all like YOU CANT COME IN THE CAFE IS CLOSED & she tells the partner who goes to close the door that we need to take off the UBER sign that says mobile pick up. I just rolled my eyes when he told me what she said & said it’s a simple google search and the article will pop right up 🤦🏻♀️

I just gotta say, as someone named Tiffany, the title of this post had me scared for a second

Does Starbucks provide you with masks these days?
hopelovepeace335 points3y ago
At my store we were provided a thing that’s called a “mask” as in it covers your face but it’s not really a mask for protection from anything. A lot of people at my store have gotten their own mask to wear & one of our shifts made some mask for us as well.

All y’all had to do was pop on a headset and say, sorry but we are closed and aren’t taking any more orders for the day, we’ll be here tomorrow! Problem solved.
Tarable-03 [OP]7 points3y ago
We have an automated message thingy that says we're closed and open again the next day at 6 am.
Tarable-03 [OP]6 points3y ago
The lady was aware we just closed but demanded a traveler anyway.
