Question for those of you at a Tarbucks (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Vivalaqueens
Do any of you wear a Starbucks branded visor rather than the hat? The hat makes me so sweaty and the top of my hair is always drenched by the end of my 8 hour shift and I would LOVE to switch it to my visor so I can not get so heated. I asked my TL if I could wear it since it was Starbucks merch and she said she wasn’t sure if it was allowed. She said she would ask her supervisor but that was a few months ago and I am desperate(and I’ve brought it up many times since, and my tl is a literal sweetheart and has a lot on her plate so I don’t want to make her job harder). I feel so disgusting afterwords and i was just wondering if it’s pointless for me to continue asking because maybe it’s not allowed, but if anyone knows if it is in fact okay, I would love to know. I came from a corporate store so the hat has been an adjustment but if it’s the only thing I can wear, hey, I still have a way better position in my new store vs my corporate one so I’ll suck it up :-)

Edit: I do in fact already own a Starbucks branded visor. I’ve had it for months just hoping I would get permission but here I am, still dying in my hat...

Tarbucks TL here! Visors are totally OK! I have a few on my team who wear them and my previous target had most of the team wearing as well!

Getting one is more of the issue. We can't order them like we can hats, sadly, but they are brand!

That’s great news! I actually HAVE a Starbucks visor already and it’s just been collecting dust for months while my TL has tried to see if I have permission to wear it. Do you know if there are any policies in place that might verify that it’s allowed? Or is it just a given that it should be appropriate attire?

We got confirmation from the Starbucks district manager. You can also try looking up on workbench for the official dress code. I honestly haven't looked at in years since it hasn't changed since we were allowed to wear jeans.

I worked at a tarbucks before moving to a real Starbucks and one of my coworkers used one of the visors our TL didn’t have any problems with it.

I would check and see if you can buy yourself one online. That’s what one of my coworkers did. I’m not exactly sure where he got it from but it might be the easiest way for you to get one.

I actually already have one and had one before I ever even asked my TL if I could wear one. That’s why it kills my soul to have to see it everyday and instead have to wear my awful hat that I despise lol
