just as a precaution, never ever ever EVER leave the window open after close. I know fresh air is nice but it's not worth your safety. all it takes is one person to create an extremely dangerous situation. ( the person at the window, i mean ) what would stop someone from just climbing in while no one is watching? especially since starbucks mainly has all female employees.

We had a guy come up and open our Drive Thru window once when we were slow. He grabbed for our tip jar but I yanked it back and told him to back the hell up or I’d call the cops. He took off thankfully. There was a car in drive that hadn’t pulled up yet that saw the whole thing happen and asked if we were okay.

Cafe was closed due to understaffing issues and it was just after dark. I’m on dto and window and this was the first car we had for a second so the window had been closed. Mid way taking this guys order I go to open the window, with my headset on. As I open the window I realize there was this old man staring at me outside the window because he wanted his order taken because our cafe was closed. I scream my head off, probably making the guy who’s order I was taking go deaf, same with my coworkers while freaking them out as to what was wrong. Both customers ended up being very understanding luckily.

omg what did he look like? how close to the window was he? i’m an opener so its usually a bit light outside when i get into the work, so i’ve never experienced anything like that 😩
