Just a theory (self.starbucksbaristas)

Every Starbucks branch has that one barista with colored hair and or they/them pronouns. They're the ones that don't play and be straight up with customers.

Why are you calling me out?
posthumouschild 2 points 2y ago
just a functional definition of what it means to be tokenized by ur employer

“”Tokenism is defined by Oxford as “the practice of making only a perfunctory or symbolic effort to do a particular thing, especially by recruiting a small number of people from underrepresented groups in order to give the appearance of equality within a workforce.” A token has no value beyond its intended performance.””

again are y’all REALLY okay with having no actual value beyond the employer’s intended performance of equality? because i can tell u all rn each of u are worth so much more than having ur identity and labor exploited for ur boss’s monetary gain

Constantly it was my first day back from a full isolation (iso from school and work) and I was just really in my little anxiety shell. It made me SO upset. Like I need attention and hugs not ridicule for being sad and lonely k?

Aw :( i hope you’re feeling better these days!
_circuts 1 points 2y ago
Thanks, not 100% yet but I'll get there soon hopefully. The job has been particularly draining these past few days. On top of just regular schmegular feelings and hormones/whoremoans etc. etc. Tmi yadda yadda... I'm just not that fun to be around lately.

Not they/them but I really wanted to color my hair. I couldn’t because I had another job that it wasn’t allowed
SailorMars2319 [OP] 2 points 2y ago
If starbucks only paid the appropriate minimum wage 🧐 we wouldn’t have to work 2 jobs
dnims24 1 points 2y ago
True facts. Honestly I had a really good deal at one with my rent and my pay from my other job (my main) but I loved my friends at starbies so much I chose to stay a bit longer

mradeline 2 points 2y ago
We don't have any they/thems so instead we have three (myself included) colored hairs
