currently spending my last shift in the ✨parking lot✨ (self.starbucksbaristas)

Our store is currently without a permanent SM. Our last SM was the best, gave the company well over a month’s notice, and left two months ago now. We have a temporary dual manager who has made it clear that she doesn’t care about us.
We currently have 2 shifts at our store, one of which was a very recent transfer. Instead of adjusting our store hours, we have been taking borrowed shifts every day (lololol). I was offered a shift position, and I turned it down, then turned in my two weeks. Another partner at our store accepted the position, and she just finished her training. Note: she asked our manager for her codes and keys LAST WEEK during her training. She never received any of it.
Today was her first opening shift, still without keys. So we are sitting in the parking lot, waiting for someone to save the day 😂
TLDR: my store is a complete mess & our new ssv (working her first open) never got store keys!
Edit: UPDATE!! A borrowed shift who has come close a few times in the last week brought back our extra store keys. She proceeded to scream and curse out our new SSV and stormed out when I told her that she wasn’t going to speak to her that way. What a good day 🙃 already in the process of filing a report

What a fucking train wreck. I got my keys on like my third day of training. That’s like the most important thing to have.

I forget to ask for my keys when I was a shift as I wasn’t opening/closing any time soon

I spent a full shift in a parking lot before too! My former SM got promoted to customer after that shift too.
The SM only had one set of keys made for the store, so the opening SSV had to pick up the keys from the closing SSV from the night before. Our opening SSV did that, then overslept for his shift. Me and the other barista had to call the DM because the SM was on vacation and made it clear that she is not to be contacted. Ended up getting a lock smith to come out at 8am when they opened, and my shift ended at 8:30am that day. The SSV ended up waking up at 9am, but he didn’t get in trouble since that was literally the only shift he has ever been late for, and it’s not his fault there was only one key. This whole ordeal started a whole investigation into my SM for other things that were not happening at the store.
The SM was super nice and sweet tho! Loved her as a person and as a manager because she really worked with my schedule, and as a barista, I had no real responsibilities, so none of that other stuff bothered me.

For what it’s worth- my SM is amazing and on top of things and it still took forever to get my codes and key. I think it was a week and a half but I couldn’t do anything without another shift there.
All that to say, I dont KNOW, but I think there’s a fairly lengthy process they have to go through to get everything.
