Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Double Star Day should be time and a half. (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by InfaredRidingHood
Basically everyone of my coworkers now takes Thursdays off due to double star days. The amount of business we get is drastically increased and we see none of the profit, we don't even really get more tips on Thursdays and if we did it would just go into the pot, not directly to us.

If you're not going to pay us a living wage in general or pay us more for the promos you run, you could at least warn us before they occur. Starbucks needs to think about it's employees.

EDIT: I should make it clear this means almost every Thursday at my store is staffed by either a skeleton crew or new employees, because of this basically every Thursday is the most stressful shift of the week, they make people quit at my store. We bleed employees and double star days are one of the reasons why. Can't wait to bar for 6 hours tomorrow.

I haven’t requested Thursday’s off but tend to just not be scheduled on Thursday’s and anytime I see it’s a double Star day I make sure to refrain from going to get my free drink, any break I can give my fellow partners I will do. I definitely agree there should be some compensation because these days make it hard on the partners.

I used to request thursdays off due to school and happy hours lol. Now it’s one of my few open days so I guess double star day is my karma ⭐️

Just burn the corporation down. It's the only way they will listen. I hate violence but it's basically violence against the working class with their wage theft.

I'm unavailable on Thursday because it's my significant other's day off and the only day we're guaranteed to have together. Missing double star days is a bonus lol
