Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

So, are we allowed to say no to customers for not wearing a mask? The latest message/weekly update was unclear to me. We’re allowed to refuse entry but not service? Can someone clarify this for me? (self.starbucksbaristas)

When someone doesn’t have a mask we take their order outside.

So what if we’re busy and there are customers inside needing their order taken who ARE wearing a mask? Or if there are three people outside with no mask and three inside with masks? Sorry I don’t mean to sound rude but that logic just doesn’t make sense to me. This company is way too focused on trying to please customers than respecting partners and realizing that these rules are just making our work ten times harder. Especially when stores like mine are already short staffed as it is 🙄

How am I supposed to do this when by the time I can speak to them they're already at the register in front of me?

My SM told us if a customer comes inside to order, doesn’t have a mask on and won’t put on one of ours that we offer them then we “invite them to please use the drive thru to place their order”

Same at my store! I’ve refused service inside for many people and told them their options were drive without a mask. For people with medical conditions I’ve also offered an option to mobile order and then they can give us a quick call from curbside or a wave from outside the door and someone will bring the drinks to them. I have a zero tolerance policy and it’s sadly mostly regulars giving me a hard time but I’m not willing to sacrifice my, my teams, or my customers safety for something as silly as coffee

I have gotten the impression that this is their way of saying serve everyone, turn no one away, but for legal reasons we are obviously upholding the mask thing and protecting our customers psh silly goose of course starbucks cares. Each of our partners is like our own child.

I genuinely think that there’s no way in HELL ill take a dumbass customer’s orders outside. NO. Wear a fucking mask Karen. Have some common decency for once in your god forsaken life.
