I was promoted to customer today. In short I was on my final write up from mid last year and I was late the other day and it proved to be too much. There were other issues, but that was the reason I was given for my separation. I’m sad. I recognize it is my fault, but I am sad. I’m sad I’m loosing all the partners at my store, and my regulars, I’m sad I’m loosing my community and Starbucks family. I’m sad I have to pay for college now too. I’ve spent nearly 4 years of my life working for Starbucks and crafting myself to continue to succeed. Clearly it wasn’t enough. I’m still in disbelief that I clocked out for the last time today. I’d love to hear success stories if there are any of what people have done after Starbucks. I guess this 240 is out.
