Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

My manager let someone work with a BAD cold? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by flatwhitewpg
On my first day back I noticed one partner is still ill (was sick two days ago) still with symptoms working.
I had a big argument with my manager about it and kept denying that this person is sick and how she gave them 5 days off to rest. I tried to explain the policy for her but she was very defensive
So I called my DM because I don't feel safe working when this could have been easily avoided.
Apparently now my manager is trying to convince the partner to LIE and say they got Thurs and Friday off. But in reality they didn't. They only got sat off (the day they got sick) and they worked Mon.
Am I overreacting ?

With all the BS going on, I don’t think you’re over reacting. It may only be a cold but we are working with food so...

you are absolutely not overreacting. the was we're basically guilted into working when sick is despicable.

Even if we weren't in a pandemic, you shouldn't be preparing people's food if you are feeling sick. It's in the servsafe training

my store quarantined me for 10 days from the last time I was in contact with a positive tested person.. the positive tested person returned to work before I did because they “felt better” .. made no sense to me so I eventually quit

Is your store doing the Covid coach everyday? That would tell the partner whether or not they can work. If the coach isn’t used at check in prior to each shift by each barista, that’s an issue in itself. If the barista does have the symptoms and the Covid coach says to isolate, then isolate. If it’s not being used, inform your DM you store isn’t following check in policies.
The partner can’t lie about working or not. They punched in and out yes? It’s recorded that they worked. If the manager changes it and deletes or alters the punch, the DM is notified.
If DM doesn’t follow up and follow through, call ethics and compliance.
