If you’re a corporate partner (you work at a stand alone starbucks, that isn’t licensed by anyone or in an airport), then your partner numbers will not work at a licensed or franchised store. If you are at a licensed/franchised store, then you are solely an employee of whoever holds the license/owns the franchise.

Ex. Target employees only work at starbucks inside a target

SM for a licensed store. We're employees to our foodservice company that is contracted by UIC. So even though we're Sbux and even though we work on university property, we're under the food service company.
