:skips straight to the bottom: :scrolls up to check how long you've worked:

Long story short, my guess is no. After 3 months you aren't valuable enough to keep with 1 day of availability. I've seen it done, but these were 3-year partners who had an amazing track record and were transitioning into permanent careers elsewhere but needed the support to do so.

It looks like this manager is keeping your hours low to force you away. It's a barely-legal tactic used by management in much of retail. They are probably not satisfied with your performance but can't outright fire you.

Go for the better job and ditch Starbucks, 100%

you're better off just asking your manager about it. each store has a different situation going on but if your manager will let you then i'm sure it'd be fine. although starbucks really isn't worth the stress if your coworkers are shitty

3 months is just the end of your 90 day grace period, it's understandable on why they wouldn't schedule you too many hours but 1 day a week is actually really low. ask for a transfer to another store with short staff if it'll help it sounds like the manager is picking favorites with your hours, but it could be that you aren't compatible and they can see it

Since there’s a learning curve with working at Starbucks typically green beans aren’t placed on bar. I’m a ssv and I put the partners I know will be good on bar when it’s busy and when it’s slow I’ll let people get practice in. Customer connections and drive thru times are a big part of this job so you have to understand that if the drinks take too long and aren’t made properly it looks bad to the dm.

So I’ve been told that there is a company standard of every barista being available for a minimum of 12 hours per week… with that being said, if you work at a store in a college town, the manager is usually more lenient. My lowest availability was 4 hours every other week, and the manager was okay with it.

A manager can reject your availability if it doesn’t work for the store, but I feel like they have to give you other alternatives (like stores you could transfer to)

There’s no way that not putting someone on the schedule is correct

I've never seen availability request be denied. I say go for it. The worst they can do is say no

You seem like a unpleasant employee, if your partners don’t like you and your SM don’t like you, I think you should take the hint and leave. Best of luck with whatever you end up doing.

I've definitely seen store managers deny availability before. Sometimes you have to figure out what works best for both you and them. I would say if you want to continue with the company try to transfer, as it sounds like you aren't happy with this store. Otherwise you could just find a new job like it sounds like you're doing. As for the not getting put on bar, it could be because you're so new, it's quite common to put the newer partners on easier positions in the beginning. Have you asked to be put on bar when it's slower? As a supervisor, I don't know when someone wants to try something unless they tell me. If a newer partner asks to try bar, I will do my best to get them some time on bar and support them as much as I can.
