We get to put up our signage tomorrow requiring masks! So tired of maskless customers
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 22 points 3y ago
Same, most people wore mask today but one dick bag even after everyone in the store told him to put a mask on and we offered a mask to him he still didn’t but one of my coworkers said NEXT TIME YOU NEED TO WEAR A MASK IT’S MANDATORY.

We straight up have to ask people to leave if they don't have a mask under my county's mandate. Tbh I prefer it that way, safety over dumbassery
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 2 points 3y ago
Same I thought it was BS that they waited this long to do it in my country, because even before the mandate some places of business required customers to wear mask. It also pissed me off that Starbucks was like let’s open back up cafes for people to sit in and not make the wear mask but make our employees wear mask and be at risk of catching the virus, basically saying we care more about the customer then we do about our employees.
the1noir 38 points 3y ago
So did we but our DM doesn’t want us denying customers so fuck us I guess.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 40 points 3y ago
If it’s mandatory then you can, and honestly fuck DM’s they aren’t there with people coming in or interacting with them so if they come in without a mask tell them they must wear a mask period & if they don’t have one then offer them one of the mask we have.

I was SO happy when we started that requirement. But if your story is anything like mine, only half of the people that come in with masks. Of those half, 30% of them throw a fit about it. Throwing a fit entails refusing to leave, coming up to the register/bar and ARGUE while breathing all over everything. It’s truly fun.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 9 points 3y ago
Well it just started at my store & honestly everyone who came in today was either wearing a mask or when we asked they went & got a mask & if they didn’t have one we offered them one of ours. There was only one person who came in who was an ass hat about it but he didn’t cause a scene he just didn’t put a mask on & one of my co-workers told him next time he comes in he needs to wear a mask because it’s mandatory. Also I’ve got some pretty badass shifts who won’t put up with people’s shit & will tell them to leave if they cause a scene & call the cops if necessary.

Is that Local or Federal Government?
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 18 points 3y ago
Local for my county
jen_wexxx 11 points 3y ago
My county made it mandatory and my Starbucks said we can't police customers who don't wear one. Now a sister store under the same rule got COVID and temporarily shut down 🤷‍♀️
surg3v1 10 points 3y ago
Shame it’s not in our country... or at least a Starbucks policy we could enforce unilaterally even to the licensed stores. Also, maybe I’m petty but really wish we could be cashless only right now.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 11 points 3y ago
I absolutely hate that Starbucks hasn’t made it mandatory because other businesses have even when there wasn’t a mandatory mask order in place in their areas. It’s absolute bullshit that Starbucks made it mandatory for us to wear mask even when stores were closed & the paid leave was still going on but they will open up the cafes & not make it mandatory for customers to wear one 🤦🏻‍♀️ they want to make the customer feel safe but fuck the employees just put up a piece of plastic it will stop the virus from getting to them 🙄
BachStrad007 9 points 3y ago
Must be nice having a county that actually enforces it’s mask mandates.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 7 points 3y ago
Ohhhh believe me it should of been done a LONG time ago in my opinion. My county isn’t that great, still got idiot republicans running it 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️
BachStrad007 6 points 3y ago
It’s insane how the far right is making this such a political thing. I’ve learned over my short life that centrism is usually the way to go. Science says masks work. Therefore, I say wear the damn things.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 6 points 3y ago
Yea in places where mandatory mask orders have been in place the spread of the virus has gone down 92%
seacookie89 5 points 3y ago
It's insane how they're acting like the snowflakes they claim to hate.
Tarissaurusrex 6 points 3y ago
I wish my county will enforce them already. We had a group of at least 15 women come in as a group (cafe only location) with not even half wearing a mask. As they were waiting for their drinks (of course mostly frappuccinos) they were crowding the store and even doing the floss dance and having a grand time as if there wasn't a pandemic. Our county had a big spike of cases and it will happen again because we had the Trump rally recently. God forbid we tell these yeehaw entitled people to put on a mask.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
I’m sorry about that & yea we got those wacky people here also so I know what you mean. I don’t know how big your store is and how many people are allowed into your store total then your shift or SM needed to tell them that they needed to wait outside because they were exceeding the amount of people allowed in store. Just keep wearing your mask and stay safe.
Ladysm1th 5 points 3y ago
SM told us that we're not allowed to "police" people about masks.. so once again, our signs exist to be ignored
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Not my SM’s they have told people straight up they cannot come in without a mask 😂 you can do it in a firm but polite way like you do with toddlers. We still get those people coming in without a mask saying they are just picking up their mobile or whatever and we just say you still need to wear a mask it’s mandatory which is why we have signs up saying you need to.
Ladysm1th 1 points 3y ago
I wish I had your SM. Even if people ask if they have to wear one we're not allowed to say yes.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
That’s BS you need to report that shit to corporate because if it’s mandatory you have EVERY right to ask them to wear a mask.
LaurdAlmighty 4 points 3y ago
They just made it mandatory in my county too. Muhahahaha
betagamerrr 3 points 3y ago
Like putting a chandelier in a haunted house, but I’m happy for you.

The USA really is a circus these days.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
True, but the vast majority of our customers have been really good about it so far except for a couple of Karen’s saying they are just getting their mobiles, some old folks acting as if they can’t read the signage, & people just whole heartedly forgetting and getting a mask to wear. I live in Florida & we are just now getting our spike like in New York because we got a shitty governor who is nothing but a mini trump and is leaving the face mask mandate up to the mayors of each city.
jackblue2009 3 points 3y ago
Here in Bahrain 🇧🇭 it’s been like that for around two months now. We are not allowed to take any order without the customer wearing a mask so they have to go wear a mask and comeback
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 2 points 3y ago
I wish that it had been that way from the beginning because Florida is just now hitting its peak. Most customers so far have been pretty good about wearing them. We still have the Karen’s, old people, & people genuinely forgetting but when asked they will wear them.
jackblue2009 2 points 3y ago
That’s messed up! Especially cuz old ppl are more at risk.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Yea but sadly people just don’t care, most customers though are pretty good about wearing mask & we’ve also got some awesome ASM’s, shifts, & baristas who tell anyone without a mask that walk in they need to be wearing a mask.
YellowSphinx 2 points 3y ago
I’d tape that to the front door. Along with another sign that says YOU MUST WEAR MASK TO ENTER THIS ESTABLISHMENT. no questions.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
There is a sign on the front door and up front I was just up front waiting to start my shift when my ASM put them up.
softneedle 1 points 3y ago
The sign could be designed to slap people in the face and they still wouldn’t read it tbh
dalenakitty 2 points 3y ago
Ugh I wish. The person in charge of my county doesn't believe in masks. Yet they let us reopen lobby seating, fuck that.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 2 points 3y ago
Sorry, we reopened before the mandate got put into place also which pissed me off and a bunch of other people I work with but the mayor finally put one in place cause Florida cases are spiking in mass numbers.
taakobell 2 points 3y ago
It’s mandatory for us now (Nashville) but our store manager isn’t having us change any signage or turn people away if they’re not wearing it. Says “it’s not our job to enforce it” and won’t even let us ask/request people wear one in the store. Even though the city just passed a mandatory mandate. I wish we had these signs.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
You need to report them to corporate and to your states board of health, because if it’s mandatory within your area and people are coming without mask on then that’s breaking the law & so is your SM. It is your job to enforce people coming into your place of work to wear a mask because you and everyone who works there is at risk because those stupid fucks aren’t wearing mask. Fuck your SM because they are never there any fucking way & when they are there they sit in the back doing nothing and leave two hours later. You need to report them to corporate & to your local & state government because your SM that’s probably never there is putting you guys at risk.
lyricslatte 2 points 3y ago
Yeah, it’s required in my county as well but customers sit at tables without masks on for hours and we aren’t allowed to say anything to them or kick them out.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 2 points 3y ago
Legally you can because it’s mandatory by law period. If they are eating or drinking something that’s one thing but if I have to wear a mask while sitting in the store then they do as well. You can tell them politely “hey could you please wear your mask while you hanging out” and if they want to say something you can tell them it’s mandatory for all places where you cannot social distance & the same rules apply to you also whether you’re working or not. I don’t know who told you that you can’t say anything but they are lying because you can, my shift did today anytime someone came in without a mask or they came in to sit down and do work, they were all asked by my shift & ASM to wear a mask so whoever said you can’t say anything is a liar.
WildCaterwaul 1 points 3y ago
My SM won’t let us enforce the mask policy. If they refuse we still have to serve them. 🙃
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Then you have every right to report them to the state and to corporate if there is a mandate within your town. We’ve been telling people left & right that they need to wear a mask & they cannot come in without a mask on period.
WildCaterwaul 1 points 3y ago
The kicker is the SM is following the DM’s instructions. They’re afraid of a customer getting rowdy about it and a video circulating on the internet. We’re allowed to ask them to put on a mask and if they refuse, ask them to wait outside or go through the drive through but if they refuse we just have to let them? Which is...you know. Fun. Mostly I’m just frustrated that it’s up to the shifts to try to enforce the rules but we’re our own at the first ounce of opposition. Not sure why I’m surprised, of course.
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 2 points 3y ago
What they should be worried about is employees catching covid because they are to much of a pussy to have a backbone & let the employees enforce the mask order. You should ask them how they will feel when the entire store shuts down because some asshole customer refused to wear a mask & they allowed them inside the store. Like I said you should report them.
plasticapples_ 1 points 3y ago
Mandatory but (at least at my store) we aren’t allowed to police it, we can’t deny anybody over not wearing a mask which makes the signage useless
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 2 points 3y ago
Ohh my store did, my ASM was sitting up in the front working told every person who came in they needed to wear a mask. We still have those Karen’s who tried coming in and saying “I’m just in here to pick up my mobile” and we’re all like YOU STILL NEED TO WEAR A MASK ITS MANDATORY. We aren’t being rude about it we are just telling people in a firm way that they need to wear a mask and point out the signage on the door & at the register.
_ChicaVampiro 1 points 3y ago
My SM said its only for inside costumers, Drive-thru isn't required lol Damn Rona is so dumb!
hopelovepeace33 [OP] 3 points 3y ago
Yea we don’t require it for drive thru but there are a lot of customers who do wear a mask when in the drive thru which i highly appreciate.
