So for context my store is a hot mess right now. I was out for a week visiting family and in that time our dm straight up transferred and is gone now, our SM announced she’s moving away and apparently no one saw her for pretty much the entire week because she was having health issues. I guess last week they had to close the store early almost every single day because of call outs (lol all of our new hires quit because our store sucks).

I came one day early from my time off, on Monday to cover one of my coworkers 6am shift. I started feeling like I had was having an allergic reaction because my eyes were burning and red (which I now learned can be a symptom). I returned Tuesday afternoon with a bad headache, runny nose, and dry throat feeling pretty shitty but still not thinking I had Covid for some reason (I’m vaccinated so I just assumed allergies or-at worst- the beginning of a mild cold). By yesterday morning I was 100% sick with a fever and all around just feeling horrible. I managed to find coverage for my shift, called out, and took a Covid test. I sent my SM the positive results and started texting everyone to let them know I was sick. She responded I think a couple hours later saying “I’m working on this with our dm, lots of isolations”. The shift I worked with Tuesday texted me saying they were having him stay home for ten days along with everyone else I worked with.

The issue is, since I picked up that morning shift on Monday, I’ve worked with both the openers and the closers. One of the morning girls I worked with texted me saying the SM told her “according to Starbucks policy” that I’m the only one who needs to isolate. It just seems weird that she’s told people different things now. I feel like she realized the openers and closers had ALL been exposed and is now trying to make up rules about it. To make matters worse another girl I work with has been sick since Tuesday and is going to get a Covid test today

Does anyone know what the current official policy on this is?
