Part-Time Workers ! (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by reveur_
I just started working at my local Starbucks and just curious as to how many hours as a part-time worker everyone gets :)
josherikt71418 24 points 2y ago
Right now due to us being understaffed we are all on 40+ hours as part time employees.
helpmeplz219 11 points 2y ago

Hi dad, I'm overworked

I’m assuming you mean at your store because that’s definitely not true all over
josherikt71418 2 points 2y ago
Yes, unfortunately we are a small kiosk and had a team of 6 which let everyone work 20-30 hours ans we had 2 quit and now everyone is at 40+ while we train more.
badatlife15 2 points 2y ago
That sucks :( Starbucks is my 2nd job, I work full time (40hrs) with my other job otherwise I feel like I would probably end up in a similar situation. I hope you are able to catch a break soon 🤞🏻
Agreeable_Tea3344 15 points 2y ago
Short staffed so as a part timer I'm around 30 hours a week.
HeartsandPins 8 points 2y ago
It honestly depends! Two weeks ago I got 22, the following was 11.5 hours, ans now this week is 30. All over the place! 😅
fantasmicck 6 points 2y ago
20-30 has been what I’ve been getting
rosesandthorns17 5 points 2y ago
asked for 25 pushing 40
loki8675309 4 points 2y ago
I used to be getting an average of 20+ hours per week. But then my store hired 5 new people. I was already a new person. And I was hired with someone else. So now I’m down to about 15 hours per week (while the new people are getting 20+ so that really sucks).

Honestly even if you’re part time they’ll give you any hours that you want. I normally range between 20 and 35 depending on my availability.

Most people who work at Starbucks are part time aside from managers in my experience

Years ago when there wasn’t a pandemic or mass people quitting I worked 23-32 on average. I think it super varies on your store.
badatlife15 2 points 2y ago
I’m a part-timer and usually am right around 20hrs the last month or so it has sometimes spiked up to 25 because we’ve been short staffed, but we just got a few new green beans so it looks to be going back to where I’m good.

44 hours every week, and that’s on being an understaffed store😎
amrdlt 1 points 2y ago
understaffed, 5 days at 34-35 hours a week
El_Gabe69-420 1 points 2y ago
I'm one of the weirdos NOT getting 20 hours a week consistently. Last week I barely had 19.5 and this week I only got two shifts, with 12.5 hours. Very bittersweet 😬

At my old store I was getting close to 40 hours but not exactly & at my new store I’m getting like 20 plus hours. I also went from a small store that had 20 something partners to a store that has 40 to 50 something partners
Sparklingghost 1 points 2y ago
35 hours but only because I have open availability.
sIowrain 1 points 2y ago
Usually I get about 22, but it really just depends. This last week I got 30
safespace28 1 points 2y ago
lol 8 i’m ready to transfer
JeromeBaritone 1 points 2y ago
It is not true that every store’s partners are working 40 hours. As a new barista you should expect 12-28 depending on the severity of the staffing levels. It can get up to 40, but it will be very hard to hold that load for long as a new partner.
andrewmulhair 1 points 2y ago
Same as part time everywhere else tbh
lilkiosk 1 points 2y ago
I usually do around 20, but it varies based on my school availability and child care availability. I have done as much as 40+ hours and as few as like 8 (usually that low is only on a week I have time off scheduled though)
Alouria6598 1 points 2y ago
13 hours....I'm looking for a new job now
kxylynjs 1 points 2y ago
i usually get around 20-25 but since my store is training new partners i’ve only been getting 8-12 :(
iSpeakMeme 1 points 2y ago
Normally part time would be around 25-30-ish hours a week but like everyone is saying, due to staffing issues most stores are working people full time hours
