My store has another positive case and we are closing yet again. AS AMERICANS WHY CANT WE GET OUR SHIT STRAIGHT ? STAY HOME? WEAR A MASK? SOCIAL DISTANCE?

for the past month and the next couple weeks this has been happening to my store and stores in my district and so now I have to extend my availability to help any way I can as so my sm says and yet it doesn’t occur to the other partners that it’s not a “two week vacation” they’re taking but my time away from my responsibilities that I have other than constantly standing and serving coffee at this point it just causes tension whenever I see my coworkers again

Remember when the president told us we wouldn't have to choose between work and our health? 🙃

Whenever a customer wants to complain about wearing a mask properly or distancing Imma bring this up. Because then we end up having early store hours or closing for like two weeks.
Wear a damn mask, distance yourself so we can all enjoy the coffee

One of my stores had a positive case and we’re closed today and tomorrow. I work at a second store but won’t pick up hours there because of potential exposure.

I and my husband are in line at the free drive through testing site set up at the local community center. (They have free testing available M-Sa, except for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, NYE, and New Year’s Day.)

Is Starbucks taking care of the partners when stores are closed?
Simplyroro [OP] 1 points 2y ago
We get paid for 3 rounds of isolation.
Craftyallthetime 1 points 2y ago
That’s one of the questions I had, just in case I did pick it up. How about if the store is closed, do you get paid for hours you were scheduled?
Simplyroro [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Yes

Good. Just found out I’m not on the isolation list for the case that just got reported last night. But the store is closed for at least two days and maybe longer.
