Concierge and Lifted Mask Mandates Rant (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Ok_Fix8139
So my store lifted the mask mandate for "vaccinated" people in accordance to our states guidelines, and I had to do the concierge position today... and although I myself am vaccinated it still made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable to be standing in the cafe with no protection from mask-less "vaccinated" customers, besides my own mask. I'm extremely disappointed that Starbucks did not continue to keep mandating masks, and jeopardize the health of their own employees. I am not willing to put myself next to mask-less customers who get way to close to my personal space for a couple dollars over minimum wage. the expectations Starbucks has for us as employees vs. what we as employees hold them accountable for is very disproportionate. If Starbucks continues to set such high standards for us baristas we need to set the same for this lousy corporation that would be nowhere without us.

“You’re vaccinated and wearing a mask, right?”

Yes, we are, but even so we can still catch covid. A mask and vaccine doesn’t automatically make us 100% immune to the virus. We can still take it home to our loved ones who may not survive something like covid. I feel like we take one step forward and a hundred backwards with this pandemic honestly

I think it’s a lose lose situation if they kept the mask customers would get upset and even more abusive

You are vaccinated and wearing a mask, right? The science says you’re safe. I believe the anxiety you’re feeling has more to do with the emotional toll of the last year than any real risk to your health, which is completely understandable given what we’ve all been through. I personally had Covid and continue to wear my mask more for other people’s feelings than out of any fears for my health. If masks and the vaccines are effective than it shouldn’t matter if the people around you are vaccinated/masked. This isn’t my opinion, this is what the science says.
