I’ll do you one better- what did the weekly update say 😩

My favorite part was encouraging us to say "I'm sorry to hear that, it looks like you won't be getting a beverage with us today."
Other than that, I don't really have much thoughts. I know most, if not all, partners I work with are fully vaccinated, so I really wouldn't feel any different being around them. I'll probably keep my mask on because I like hiding behind it.

I’m still going to wear my mask. Not only does WHO still recommend it, esp with the latest variant putting up a fight, I have a kid who can’t be vaccinated yet.

Mask is staying on ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ I'm just hoping ppl don't be mean about it staying on

I really appreciated the little dialogue bits. I'm glad I don't need to ask any partner to not make drinks because of mask/no mask status. If customers are to afraid to have a masked or no masked person make their drink they shouldn't be out in public to begin with.

I don’t know if my logic is sound on this... but for some reason I feel safer when I’m working drive thru and I have a mask on. Just because of the smokers, people hanging out their window, and the sheer volume of people I’m individually serving for hours on end. I’m vaccinated, but I think I’ll keep my mask on when I’m working drive thru. Otherwise I’ll probably take it off. Thoughts?

It honestly makes me very glad that I got the hell out of my store a couple weeks ago. There’s two unvaccinated individuals who are very anti-mask as well and I KNOW they’re gonna try to go maskless because the store manager doesn’t care.

maybe it’s the “post”-pandemic trauma but i honestly like wearing masks and i kind of wish it would stay a common thing in industries like ours where we’re serving hundreds of people. people come in the cafe coughing and sneezing all the time, so it’s nice to have some protection. i also like doing half a face of makeup and being able to hide breakouts 🙃

Mine is coming off! fully Vaccinated since January and I’m excited. I usually only work nights so it’s pretty slow and I don’t interact with many customers. If I were to work a morning peak I would keep it on. I’ll definitely be keeping my mask with me at all times.

Apparently I picked a wild two weeks to visit family. This, the weird social sips thing, and the system outage today 😬

honestly for me, wearing masks has just become a comfort thing. i’ve been fully vaccinated for almost 2 months now so i’m not too worried abt getting covid but it just feels so uncomfortable not wearing a mask in public bc im so used to it. i’ve been taking small steps to try to get used to not wearing it, starting in very barren gas stations and stuff. i’ll be waiting a while longer before i take it off at work

i'll be keeping mine on even though i'm fully vaccinated, but it's nice to know that the option is there. just hoping no customers take to getting unnecessarily pressed about it.

Someone just called out of work with a fever and has to quarantine. I’m gonna keep the mask for a while longer.
I am vaxxed but I’d rather be safe than sorry tbh.

Bold of the to assume I want to breathe the same air as everyone else

I am very anxious. I haven't gotten the vaccine yet and I'm very anxious about getting it. I feel like people will take it the wrong way when I'm the only one that has to wear a mask and others don't. Of course, this is just my fear talking.

I’m ripping my mask off tbh

With the Delta variant spreading like wildfire, I'm going to turn in my proof of vaxx but keep wearing a mask forever.

I don’t feel comfortable getting vaccinated just yet because I am learning a lot about my own personal health this year (lots of tests lol) and I also would feel more confident if there were long term tests done. With all that being said, I don’t want my vaccinated coworkers to look at me differently or view me as “dirty” in a way because I’m not at the same level of comfort as them when it comes to this. It kinda feels like targets towards certain people when it’s a policy that affects partners differently depending on personal stances and opinions. That’s just where I’m at personally 🤷‍♀️

Okay so I’m in Canada and this is not happening here at all, they acc just went the opposite and made it mandatory for us to wear 3 ply masks😣

I’m fully vaccinated , but I think for the most part I’ll have mine off. I’m not too worried because I live in an area where there’s a lot of people vaccinated, but my store is too damn hot for this shit. I love the idea of having masks in use for partners in general. There’s a lot of people that didn’t get the flu this year because of mask wearing. I think it’s a practice we should use more fluidly going forward.

I’m fully vaccinated, have been for 2 months now. I will be keeping my mask on. I might possibly wait and put it on when we actually open since I’m primarily an opener, but even then I know there are a few people at my store who are not getting the vax. My full time job is as a caregiver for a child with an extremely rare genetic disorder that I would be beside myself if I got him sick. Plus like many have said I’ve gotten too comfortable wearing my mask and hiding my facial expressions and ugly face.

I'm not happy about the update and was hoping that Starbucks would be more inclusive by allowing partners to make their own choice on whether or not to wear a mask. I'm hoping partners remain respectful towards each other despite holding different stances and worry that customers will use this opportunity to show more of their ugly side as many of them have throughout the pandemic.

I have not gotten sick so, I trust nobody and nothing I will be fully vaccinated tomorrow and I will continue to wear my mask

Only reason I hate wearing masks is that my face is completely broken out, so I’ll be glad to finally let my face breathe. Before, my face was completely clear

Anxious! I want to keep wearing masks until they no longer require keeping health info on file and signing documents. I don't look forward to customers being rude about who chooses to wear or not wear a mask, and/or being the only person on the floor with one. I don't want people to be judgemental and make assumptions about who has or has not received a covid vaccine. I know many who will.

Hell yeah masks have been a joke from the beginning.. Happy to never wear a mask again 🙏🍻

I’m not gonna lie I’m thrilled to have the option to not wear a mask and probably won’t. It screws with my glasses, makes my glasses foggy, I’m breaking out, and now that my stores AC is broken it gets sweaty af within seconds of coming in. I’m ok with being massless I think. If I’m not I’ll just start wearing them again.
