When it snows and the power goes out and you get to go home early. (i.redd.it)

Looks like the lights are back on inside...

MonstrousGiggling 117 points 2y ago

That's just the glow from the flames of Hell. Didn't you know Starbucks are built over portals to hell? That's why our coffee is so over-roasted.

LMAO

Ananamoose11 3 points 2y ago

Lol when I worked at one I used to say it was built on a vortex of evil because the manager was evil, the customers were evil and so were my coworkers. One of the worst jobs I ever had but it did give me the push to go back to college and finish my degree. I still won't set foot inside one unless absolutely necessary though.

Very true. Very rarely, though, there's no other option, as crazy as that sounds.

DivineFlamingo 1 points 2y ago

You know what it means when you think everyone around you is an asshole?

Ananamoose11 1 points 2y ago

Also, not like you care, but this was my first job out of high school, I was in an extremely controlling/abusive relationship and had very low self esteem and insecurity issues. I mostly kept to myself at work and was constantly berated by the manager of the store for things not my fault. After 8 months of verbal and emotional abuse by him, customers and coworkers, I quit. Finished my shift, never went back. All my other food service jobs were much better so no, I'm not the asshole, but you might be for making assumptions about my story.

You know that saying "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?"

Yes, Elder Scrolls Oblivion got their inspiration from Starbucks.

sunsetair 2 points 2y ago

Most awful coffee. The only reason people go there (including me) because of convenience like McDonald's. They are everywhere

dinkleberries_suck 2 points 2y ago

My parents only get it on a road trip they will only take a couple sips I just don’t get it because based on their faces I would rather drink coffe from a hobo I like mine with cinnamon

spankygrrl 1 points 2y ago

Since you were short, I’ll lend you some spares:

MONSEIUR_BIGFOOT 1 points 2y ago

I like my hobos with cinnamon too.

Rat-beard 1 points 2y ago

You good talk

BlakBeret 1 points 2y ago

I read somewhere that it's all over roasted because they source from so many places they have to roast them that much to keep the "flavor" consistent across them all.

pastafarianjon 1 points 2y ago

As a Satanist, can confirm. I’m hailing Satan with every coffee.

Emergency lighting probably

meloscav 66 points 2y ago

Damn y’all actually get to go home when the power goes out? And *not* sit and wait to see if the power comes back?

SunflowerTeaTime 39 points 2y ago

They made us go to the store down the way (because SURELY our customers would flock to the other store since we were closed) and that made them super over staffed so we just crammed on the floor staring at each-other! Hahaha

laurenredz 37 points 2y ago

Lmaoo such a Starbucks move, to not send you home but just move you to another store

saturnsnephew 3 points 2y ago

Hey man, still getting paid.

laurenredz 1 points 2y ago

Trueee

crowamonghens 1 points 2y ago

Sorta like how the Catholic church deals with pedo priests

oversoakedoreo 12 points 2y ago

We had a DM that would take his sweet time to get back to us if we should go home or not(summer time)One time we waited nearly an hour with customers getting mad we wouldn't open the doors while we're sweating indoors waiting to be sent free. Then out of nowhere power comes back on. . .

fuckthisicestorm 1 points 2y ago

Are you sure that wasn’t just a nightmare you had cuz I’ve had that same one 🤢

Haunting-Affect-5956 2 points 2y ago

We have to get out the "power outage kit" with calculators and write receipts by hand, while wearing battery powered headlamps.

to_shy_to_ask 2 points 2y ago

This one time, I worked for a fast food place one summer, and the city was doing some major construction next to the food mall I worked at, and the power cut off. The city workers told us that the power may be off all day, so our manager told us to move all the food from the fridge to the freezer (to make it last longer I suppose) it took us about an hour and a half but we were almost done, and then the power switched back on! The manager said we could go home still, so as we were walking out, she said “oh... hey guys... so I called the manager just to tell him the funny story... and... well he wants us to open back up if we have power”

We were pissed. Especially only having 2 hours left in the shift.

This is such a wholesome and iconic picture. 🥺

tamaotaki_01 22 points 2y ago

When your store floods for 6 hours and nobody cares and nobody gets to go home and it’s just chaos ✨✨

eat-reddit-tv 9 points 2y ago

^what

Your store flooded? That’s so dangerous!

tamaotaki_01 5 points 2y ago

You would think right??

mr-potatohead_ 8 points 2y ago

Lmao. Our drains flood like once a month and we just wade through the milk water 😂😭🤮 what a fucking nightmare.

ACleverDoggo 10 points 2y ago

Call the health department on yourselves so it's a documented issue. If it's something that can get you shut down, I guarantee someone will give enough of a fuck to get it fixed, rather than lose money to a temporary closure.

yoboiyoo 3 points 2y ago

"Milk water " is that what they call that now 💦💩

RexFlex420 17 points 2y ago

I wish, my stores power went out but we stayed open and handed out drinks for free for "customer inconvenience". Granted not espresso (machines were powered down) but refreshers, teas, and brewed coffees were all fair game. Granted, the power came back on like 15/20 min later but i really wanted to go home😤🤣

Happy for you 😭❤️

This sparks joy in my cold, hard heart.

sandycat555 3 points 2y ago

Ha, our store has a generator. Gotta love living in a hurricane-prone barrier island.

ACleverDoggo 3 points 2y ago

I didn't know there were Starbucks on the Outer Banks 👀

sandycat555 3 points 2y ago

Nope I'm in Florida. The locals forget this is a barrier island because it has a causeway, but the winds of the Atlantic don't forget.

ih8yogurt 3 points 2y ago

Same here on Long Island
