i got asked for my ID because i was using my numbers at a different starbucks and when i showed my partner card the barista at the window asked for my ID again :) and i had to out myself as trans. which is not something i ever wanted to do. very fucking cool.

so, a partner card is 100% acceptable as a form of ID. You should NEVER have to out yourself ever. I’m sorry to hear that fellow Barista didn’t know Partner Cards were acceptable.

I’m not one to complain or tattle but this is one where I would 100% follow up with the store manager about this. You don’t even need to tell them who it was, just let them know it happened and ask them to address it with their team.

i was thinking about doing that tbh because i really really wish there was like, consistent training or even just a memo about this to where EVERYONE knew, every green bean got informed, etc.. i know starbucks has a lot of trans partners and therefore i’m not the only person to have to deal with this. i don’t wanna go through that again and i’m sure nobody else does.

i have a friend of a friend who was standing right next to said barista at the window who saw it all go down and is also trans, so hopefully this partner talks to their manager about it and if not at least the barista who made me out myself. ill see if they’d be willing to do that if not i’ll call the store. i also don’t like to complain or tattle but when it comes to my identity and it’s easily fixable i can see how it’s worth it. thank you for the reassurance

I fear going to another store other than my home store because of this. I’ve been out as nonbinary for a while and finally found a gender neutral name that suits me, and I’ve been going by it for less than a year now so I haven’t filled out any name changin paperwork and thus my ID has my dead name. Stupid tiktok users and their stupid hacks for a slight discount

this was literally what i was afraid of happening and after 2.5 months it did. i’ve gone to this starbucks multiple times and never had this issue! and it’s more convenient when im going to get groceries and this one is right across the street. but i guess i’m just gonna bother my own store from now on. 🙃really fucking sucks

This is what sensitivity training should include.

Wasn't the tiktok issue fixed and the partner numbers no longer print on receipts ?
