Hello fellow starbies partners! So my store is one of the busiest in our district (despite the fact we are the smallest). For the past year, we have had no AC. Yesterday our store temp hit 93 and the DM still refuses to fix our AC system. Now, we do have a portable AC in the corner, however as evidenced by the store consistently hitting temps of 85 and now 93 it’s pretty clear it doesn’t have the circulation we need. With happy hour tmrw many of the partners at my store are freaked out about working with such high temps (we had to call an ambulance a few weeks ago for one partner). Our SM is trying her best to advocate for us but I want to try speaking to partner resources myself. For those of you with experience, are there any specific terms or phrases I could use to get some action? It’s been a year and at this point some laws must be getting broken. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Edit: Thank you to everyone for your awesome responses! I think I’m going to give it a day or two and talk about it with my fellow partners so we can present as a unified front on the issue. I am also holding out on the hope that my SM manages to break through to the DM.
Again, thank you all so much!!!!!
