Yesterday in the middle of an in-SANE peak with a lobby full of about 9 customers, a floor crowded with about 8 partners and a dt live about 23 cars deep, my coworker in dtr is faithfully fulfilling the prestigious duty of 🌟 connecting with customers 🌟 and asks the man and woman at the window what their weekend plans were, to which the man replies with "oh we just got tested for covid 😊" ..............

back in march we had someone come through our line, and she was like "yeah someone at my work tested positive so they sent us all home!" and i was just there thinking "...so your first thought was to go to a coffeeshop???"

Yepp... one of our regulars did the same. Except she came thru bitching how her coworkers tested positive but they were making everyone come in to work still anyway. All I could do was just be like oh nooo hun that suucks I'm sorry while screaming internally

UH. I SIMPLY CANNOT. five minutes later: \*connection score goes down, manager hyperventilates until we are all asking aholes what their plans are again.

Idk if it’ll make you feel better or worse, but I’m guessing at least 25% of our customer base has COVID and doesn’t give a shit. Everyone in my district is getting confirmed cases, so many stores are closing. I think all the anger needs to be directed at the idiot in office right now. If he never downplayed the virus like he did, all of these poor, dumb people wouldn’t be going around thinking it’s nbd. But alas, the dumb have convinced the dumber and we’re here now. Maybe if the economy tanks enough they’ll actually give a shit, who knows. I’m not much of an optimist these days lol

Oh yeah I definitely agree. Its sadly hilarious how pissed people are that they still have to wear masks (🙊🙄) and eat at home when the severity of everything could've been so greatly reduced by now if we all had just truly buckled tf down in the beginning for a good month or so...
But even so, I think I'm more angry at the audacity it took for dude to actually ADMIT that he just got tested... like was that necessary to share?? You're already out possibly (further) infecting the world but does that mean you should fucking *announce* it? jfc

My store has a testing site in the same parking lot. I've had at least 3 people come in and tell me they just got tested. One lady had a kid running around touching everything too.

One of my supervisors had to self-isolate after potentially getting exposed (thankfully did not get infected). The FIRST DAY BACK to work, someone POSITIVE WITH COVID came through the drive thru!!! Can't deny service based on medical stuff, y'know? So he had to serve this bitch :\^) Then proceeded to quickly wash his hands & sanitize the entire drive thru area

what do you do when someone says that? Close the door and run? What??
BuffyBoltonVampFlayr [OP] 8 points 2y ago
Ha. I fuckin wish... but no. This is Starbucks do you're forced to put on a cheesy ass smile under that mask and in your most peppy, upbeat, definitely not concerned at all Fake Customer Service Voice™️, you say "Golly I'm so sorry to hear that! I sure hope your results come back negative so that you can come back and visit us again team soon!" and cheerfully wave goodbye. Then de-plant yourself and run to yo wash your hands (only to turn right back around and risk becoming possibly infected for the 56th time that day by the next asshole who thinks feeding their desire for conglomerate coffee is more a dire concern to them than your safely and well being is).

Still pretty surprised this hasn’t taken off yet. Waiting for someone to start a thread for a dec 23rd partner call out

Our store has had a few regulars tell us after the fact they were positive and that didn’t stop them from coming in every day because we are just so nice and make the best drinks. This is a cafe store, no drive thru. We have curbside but they didn’t do that because of how wonderful our baristas are. I die more each day.

I have seen stories saying they just got tested or they tested positive to try and get free stuff at food places, I really hope that was the case. I don't understand why people are so shitty

What maniacs would serve someone contagious FREE FOOD? Or what idiot would think that’s a plausible idea to spread around? All these reckless positive customers are the ones responsible for partners getting tested positive and stores closing as a result-and the other stores in the surrounding area getting busy af and just increasing that packed stores risk because social distancing is for squares I guess. Or people are “bored” of not social distancing and picking the next stranger to cuddle up to. On top of mumbling while pulling down their mask “so the barista can hear them”, mask-mooning with their not-even-large nose sticking out because this flimsy piece of fabric on their face is “uncomfortable” and other “good” practices.
Whoever is feeding them the idea that these Covid rats are so welcome that they’re entitled to free shit is a worse class traitor than the Tik tok baristas coming up with the next tik tok drinks (like iced white mocha/sweet cold foam/caramel drizzle)
