Who is the oldest barista? (140****) (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Holdtybear
I’m a 140****, my numbers are older than my store manager and I’m the oldest numbers in my store. I have had an off and on relationship with Starbucks for years. She always catches me when I need support. She is messy but I love her.

I have an SSV who started in 2001...the same year another one of SSV was born! Lol 😂

Oh yeah, we have a 6-digit-er at our store! Everyone always goes to take their numbers for mark-outs & waits for a 7th # to drop....... ;)
NotMyElephants 31 points 2y ago
We have 3 with 6 digit numbers, they've been there since the store opened in 1996.
furry_shrimp 6 points 2y ago
Holy cow, where is this store and how have they stuck it out so long?
NotMyElephants 4 points 2y ago
New Jersey. And tbh, Idk. They're great people and I adore them though.
hmmyeahrightokaythen 5 points 2y ago
Wow... it must have been so different back then. I hope they're still enjoying it.

There's a partner in my store who's partner number is only 5 digits. She's a 41\*\*\*

Imagine the bean stock...
colonade17 7 points 2y ago
She kept it all until just recently, and started selling when it went over $100/share. She just bought a new house.
Holdtybear [OP] 19 points 2y ago
Most of my stores numbers start with 29**** and just recently, a 3******
tacowaifu 1 points 2y ago
My numbers start with 3!! I just finished training a couple days ago 😇
heytherehoe 9 points 2y ago
i think our oldest has been there 29 years.
YouNatPatt 6 points 2y ago
My mother worked when I was born all the way up to a district manager, and now I started almost a year ago from 116-290 and I have a sister who is a shift 208. Starbucks is a legacy in our family
kqs13 6 points 2y ago
At my store the oldest we have is a 116 (started in 2003), and I am a 221, the third oldest at my store.
TheDoubleDan 4 points 2y ago
We have a guy who works at a reserve store near us that will occasionally come thru our store. His numbers are 07*****.
cush4 3 points 2y ago
I’m a 144****, 14 years of continuous employment, except for that time when i broke my leg at work and had to take 6 weeks off with work comp. we have 1 partner with six digit 290*** who took several leaves. SM started same time as me but left and came back. One barista 143**** who is a few months older than me and has been continuous as well
phillipniemann 3 points 2y ago

daylightdreamer99 3 points 2y ago
I think the oldest partner I met was one who worked for like a little over 20 years and they had 6 digits. But in my store the oldest partner started with 180
SnugBear 3 points 2y ago
I have an SSV who has a 6 digit number.
OsaXhan 2 points 2y ago
I have one SSV who started when I was born (99), her numbers are 5 digits. Ironically, we both have the same name too!
steadyslingin 2 points 2y ago
103\*\*\*\* here. I think we still have a few six digit folks among the SMs/DMs in our region, but its been a while since I've run into an hourly partner with one.
cush4 2 points 2y ago
Makes the “hourly” partners sound like minions lol no one would have a starbucks job without all those “hourly”
steadyslingin 1 points 2y ago
I'm an "hourly" partner myself so no disrespect intended. Just pointing out that all the folks in my area that I know of who have been here long enough to have 6 digit #s are salaried (SM and above). The people who work in the stores (IMO) are the most important in the company.
cush4 1 points 2y ago
Ah i get it now, i read it wrong. I thought you had access to partner numbers in your district and were a SM or DM.
undertoe776 2 points 2y ago
102**** came back after many years
sixela2402 2 points 2y ago
I'm a 117****.
Fast_Alfalfa1915 2 points 2y ago

boxinghamster16 2 points 2y ago
My SM is a 133****
sadderalll 1 points 2y ago
A guy who does customer support at my store has a 6 digit number. He says hes been w starbs since 2000
Altruistic_Candy9844 1 points 2y ago
298*** I’m new
cush4 1 points 2y ago
If you are new you are missing an * for a number you have to be 7 digit not 6
Aliciarox11189 1 points 2y ago
What's new?
furry_shrimp 1 points 2y ago
I’m a 165! There’s a partner at my store who’s a 17, but he only works one day a week. Everyone else is a 2, and most of them are 28. Worked for Sbux from ‘09-‘14, came back recently to go to school. I think some of the newer partners didn’t realize numbers went back that far. I get some weird looks.

Fun random thing- my husband was also a partner and our numbers are only 185 digits apart.
sneaky_capybara 1 points 2y ago
