Ex-Partner Dreams of Returning Behind the Bar..(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by sensualcephalopod
Should I return as a part-timer for fun/extra cash? I’ve been out of the apron for over 5 years - what things have changed for the better/worst? Help me decide if I should apply to my old store!

Things have changed so much for the worse imo. The whole menu has shifted away from coffee into such a dizzying array of over-modified customer-created belly-wash that can't be made quickly because of the complex recipes. Mobile and Delivery have essentially added two other lines of customers to the one (cafe) or two (DT) that are already full, labor cuts are ridiculous, morale is low. I say stay out unless you got nerves of steel.

Brilliant and well written summation.

Thank you so much for reminding me of how much Starbucks has changed since I left in 2014! I think you’re right; best to stay away.

Welcome! Glad I could be of help.

Is there something specific? Training, policy, etc?

Honestly if it’s just part time for fun, then I would. I only work 2 days a week right now (hybrid learning for my kids did that lol) and am honestly happy with it. I enjoy the adult interaction and genuinely like my fellow partners and SM. If you get into a good store, I think you could have fun :)

I haven’t been at Starbucks for very very long but Id say yes!! I genuinely enjoy it and it’s a nice part time job. You will absolutely get sick of making sweet cream cold foam though.
