Yes it’s a thing, I’ve heard older partners talk about it, but its if you retire after 10 years not if you quit so you have to be old enough to retire by starbucks standards. Then it’s free coffee for life

It USED to be if you retired with Starbucks at age 55 or older, and had been with the company for 10 years or more you were entitled to your mark out and discount for life. In recent years it was changed to once you reach 25 years with the company you get this benefit, regardless of age.

So it’s called a coffee break. What happens is once you are a
10 year partner, you have the eligibility to be off for 1 year, keeping your benefits :) xx
