So I’ve worked for Starbucks for almost 18 years . Ugh I know.. but I have not taken my coffee break yet , I do know that you are not paid during your coffee break. You keep your benefits but you have to pay for them. I also know that you are not allowed to work at another job while on the break, unless it’s under the table and they can’t track it. I’ve also been told that if you only take a 6 month break as opposed to the whole year you can keep your pay and position when you return . But anything past the 6 months you are not guaranteed the same pay, position or store preferences.

Thanks for the input! I realized my wording was off, I know that it's not paid while your on the coffee break I am just trying to think of the benefits of staying with the siren and earning vacation time is something in favor of the bucks. I'm honestly leaning towards just leaving, it feels like this chapter in my life is coming to a close and after talking to my sm it seems like the process and restrictions of the coffee break aren't gonna be worth it to me. I appreciate having a place to stew it over!
