To the mother of the partner who came today to my store, I want to start by saying that I wasn’t being rude or dissing your daughter when she told me she has partner numbers and tried to show me her pin as form of ID for working with the company. It’s good that she got a pin for working for Starbucks for how many years it said in that pin. However, there other pins out there that might look like are issued by Starbucks, so it was logically of me to still asked for her ID card. As I said I wasn’t being rude, we have been told to ask for IDs and my SM is really strict on that subject, maybe at her store they are ok with not asking for IDs, maybe they accept showing a pin, I don’t know but at least at my store is not accepted.
Every store manager follow the rules the best he or she wants and I was not going to put myself in a situation where I would get written up for something silly like that.
