Should you two become partners in a relationship, I advise one of you to switch day parts [one works AM & one works PM]

I've been avoiding crushes for the life of me at my work place. Wait my crushes came in as a costumer me hides behind the pos. Forgets my co workers are beside me being amused by this interaction. Halp

A crush will last about 4 months. But, I feel you!!

Oh guys I’m not gonna act on it, I refuse to be one of those who get distracted :) just sharing my feelings that’s all. Thanks for the advice though, we work different shifts, him night me morning

Literally the most important thing if you guys become romantically involved is to let your SM know. Otherwise you both would be at risk for losing your jobs if people decided to take dislike with certain behaviors and blame it in favoritism. At my store people end up dating all the time but our SM wants to know so that favoritism can’t be used as a way to assess partner conflicts. I was told there was a rule the SSVs couldn’t date others who weren’t also SSVs due to partner conflicts but idk for sure.

So here’s my perspective. I’m an SSV who met my current long term partner at Starbucks (I was not an SSV when we started dating, the promotion came after) and this is what my SM told me:

It’s not a problem as long as you keep your relationship reasonably outside of work. It doesn’t have to be a total secret that’s never spoken of, but be tactful and don’t display it on the floor. After I was promoted we moved to opposite shifts (AM/PM), though we occasionally work together. The *better* option (in the case that you’re on different levels) is to work at different stores. We didn’t because it would require a transfer and we’re moving soon and will be going to different stores in our new state anyway, but I digress.

I’m fairly certain there is no rule against it. Kinda just depends on your coworkers (managers especially) how that could go.
