My SM just told me that our dining area is being shut down on Thursday due to new restrictions placed by our Governor 🥰 I don’t know if this still means people can come in and order and just leave, or if we’re operating as DT-only. Either way I’m excited to not have 572819 people staring me down as I make drinks!!!

I think this may be a country-wide action on Starbucks' part.

Definitely nationwide!! Our district goes into effect tomorrow but I believe the rest are for Thursday. (Texas here)

Wait for real? Do you know how we can verify this?

Not sure but my shift supervisor told me it is nationwide today. I'm in NJ

Oregon here, so far my store is still doing grab and go + mobile orders. Idk what's the point of closing off seating when 25+ people are standing shoulder to shoulder next to eachother. Just close the whole lobby please 😣

That’s my view too. We have a record breaking number of cases here in Texas yet they won’t close us down like we were just in August? Why?
foxyfit2 points2y ago
Same at my store, a billion people standing around jockeying in place for their mobile order and coughing all over. Close the lobby and make them wait in the drive thru.

Ours cafe area is being closed off too and I love it. Yesterday we had like 20 people sitting in the lobby and not a single person was wearing a mask. A fellow partner was like "why do you even care?". I'm like ma'am, we're in the middle of a pandemic. Forgive me for not wanting it to continue spreading.

it’s almost like the seating area is closed for a reason

i'm excited to no longer have to watch people sit in the cafe for hours "drinking" with no mask on, but irritated that i'm still gonna have 20+ people piled into the lobby waiting for mobile orders because the app tells them it'll be ready in five minutes no matter what.
