Needs a bacon gouda in the last panel.

This is why I quit

adrelibar [OP] 16 points 2y ago

Congratulations you escaped

Yokell-Mendez 13 points 2y ago

Still working on getting my girlfriend out

adrelibar [OP] 5 points 2y ago

I bid you good luck, I live in a small town and this is pretty much the only job I can get as a student

unusedpencil 15 points 2y ago

Perfection.

adrelibar [OP] 6 points 2y ago

Thank you

SSV "Ya know, you've been helping out a lot during shifts considering most of our (2/5) staff is undertrained and helping with all their training." (That Im basically doing yet Im not actually getting the comission for holding their hand while they do things in the middle of rush hours)

"I'll ask SM if you could get a bonus"

Me "Ha! Yeah Im sure that'd happen. She'll say she'll ask DM and then forget an hour later."

literally same, except i’m a barista trainer and she’s having me help them but not full on technically train them so i’m not even getting paid

Do partners not get a food markout and five drink markouts anymore?

adrelibar [OP] 9 points 2y ago

Okay so, before covid we got free drinks on the clock amd a free food item, off the clock it was just discounted. Since march things changed a bit, we still got free drinksnon the clock and a free food item, but now off the clock we also get one free food and drink and then the rest are discounted

clever-science 3 points 2y ago

Ohhh gotcha, thanks for explaining. I'm a previous partner returning to Starbucks soon and was like 'wtfff they took away the markouts?!?!' lol. Yeah, honestly adding two markouts off the clock rather than higher pay is fucking insulting.

Does this apply in every country?! We don’t get free food at my store

adrelibar [OP] 8 points 2y ago

As far as I know it differs from country to country. Im in the US

anonymous491300000 2 points 2y ago

It should be know this is for corporate stores. If you’re a retail store inside a Barnes and noble or something, it does not apply sadly.

officialsmolkid 5 points 2y ago

Ok but like my grocery bill be going down 👀

centarx 3 points 2y ago

Wait they extended it? I thought it was supposed to end September first

adrelibar [OP] 2 points 2y ago

Recently extended to next march! Read your weekly reports :)

centarx 2 points 2y ago

The food as well?

adrelibar [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Yup! 1 free food item a day even if you are not working :) again this is for the US as far as aware and doesnt apply to licensed stores

Heinz57_ketchup 1 points 2y ago

Me too! I thought it ended August 31.

Luckyduc778 -49 points 2y ago

Honestly I’m super happy with my wage plus benefits. Also the free food and drink is a super awesome perk. You guys are just too much sometimes lol

ayy-shane 38 points 2y ago

the amount of work that is expected of us + a positive attitude is definitely not worth what they pay us. its great that you're happy with your wage but not really cool to be saying others are "too much" for wanting to be adequately compensated.

adrelibar [OP] 7 points 2y ago

This comment is everything.

sizzlethizzle 31 points 2y ago

Imagine thinking $9.50/hr for what we do is a livable wage 😀

stubrocks -28 points 2y ago

Imagine thinking serving coffee should earn enough money to live on independently.

4filth 14 points 2y ago

I don’t _have_ to imagine that, you scab

nhipkat867 6 points 2y ago

So instead of asking for better conditions what do you suggest?

stubrocks -15 points 2y ago

I suggest finding a job that pays better, and then take steps to make yourself hireable in that position. My manager is a college drop-out, as is our district manager. They both worked their way from the bottom in only a few years.

Personally, I saved up my money, bought a commercial grade trimmer and leaf blower and a few hand tools. I advertise my services on Facebook for lawn care and gardening, weeding, etc., and charge $25/hr. I've been doing that one or two days a week, and it fully doubles my take-home pay. Now I'm saving up my money to buy a $1200 crap truck, and then I'll be able to offer even more services. By increasing the value I can offer, I have increased the reasons people are willing to part with their money.

adrelibar [OP] 15 points 2y ago

I only get 9.50 and hr and work 20hrs a week so its not great for me 😅 but free Spotify is really nice

Critical50 2 points 2y ago

You must not be over 18 or have much to worry about then.

A 16 yo started telling me all about her plans to travel after HS because her parents can support her, then she realizes Ive been literally biking to work for the past few months, a bunch of the other partners on our staff are in shit financial status, and she just shutup.

Even working 30+ hours weekly, Im only getting about $500 checks, or $1000 a month. I dont invest into the 401k. My only deduction is tax and healthcare. If I went completely full time, I'd maybe see a whole $1200 a month.

[deleted] -19 points 2y ago

damn y’all really downvoted this person for being happy with their life. how sad.

syntheticstrawbrry 9 points 2y ago

Nah she got downvoted because she said it was “too much” to be upset about not having a livable wage lol

[deleted] -11 points 2y ago

have you considered she lives somewhere where her wage IS livable lmao?

nhipkat867 9 points 2y ago

Okay therefore she definitely cannot relate to the frustrations that everyone else is referring to and should not be calling them "too much". Problem solved.
