I had the same issue, during my training when I was sitting for most of my shift doing computer modules I was FREEZING and had to wear layers every day. Now that I’m actually working and not doing computer stuff I don’t get cold anymore. It’s actually quite the opposite and I find myself getting pretty HOT quickly.

Always bring a cardigan or sweater and worse case you have to take it off

Definitely layer! There will be times where you get busy and will overheat if you wear clothing that’s too thick

Me and like 5 other baristas have a Columbia fleece zip up to keep warm on the floor. This was pure coincidental too so idk if we all have hive mind from working together.

I wear cardigans and sweaters that I can easily take off when I’m hot, I learned the hard way too lol I’m in Detroit

Omg my coworker and I are literally sitting in front of our managers heater that’s tucked away under his desk. I’m convinced all Starbucks are set to AC until the end of time until I’m sweating my ass off on bar.lol

Yeah I agree with everyone that when you’re moving around and busy you won’t worry about the cold as much. This won’t apply to you since you’re in a mall but working the drive through in the winter is always FREEZING especially when it’s busy and you have to have the window open pretty much the whole time! In my store we are allowed to wear our winter coats at the drive through even if they don’t meet dress code, although I’m sure that depends on your SM.

I literally put on a jacket during my breaks bc it’s cold in the back and I always drink something iced and end up shivering so bad lol. Once you’re actually working you’ll be moving around a lot and the cold won’t be an issue tho

I work in a mall too and I’m right by the entrance so I totally feel this. I wear long sleaved sweater shirts. Nothing too heavy because when you’re on the floor you might not be so cold. And you can always wear cardigans or any like jean jacket or other type of sweatshirt as long as it has no hood and is within dress code. 👍

I wear long sleeve button up shirts that I roll to my elbows and I'm fine in bar, on window tho my store lets us get our coat -michigan weather sucks

I work in the east coast, I wear leggings under my denim jeans and a long sleeve shirt with a tshirt on top. I'll take a sweater on top and remove it when I'm there, and a jacket to get to the store. Layers are ur friend!
