I wouldn't. They deserve to get their markout and discount that they work for whenever. As long as they don't hold up the line mingling with their coworkers who are working, I don't see a problem with them coming in on their day off.

When I’m working, it makes my day to see other partners enjoying their day off.

When I’m on my day off, it’s nice to go and see my friends.

Either way it doesn’t really matter and I think it makes all of our days a little better.

no i wouldn’t get upset if they weren’t scheduled to work. however if i was asked to take a shift for someone and they came in and proceeded to order 7 drinks in the cafe cause they were mad at a ssv, then i would be quite mad (speaking from a recent experience)

Would you be mad if someone who worked at a grocery store went grocery shopping on their day off???

Nah, I would only be bothered if they made a big order and/or was incredibly rude or impatient. Other than that, I don’t know their schedule, so it’s not my place to be upset if they came at a time that worked best for them

Assuming they just came in to get a normal drink / say hi, no. That said, I've had partners come in who have been ASSHOLES about drinks. As long as you're polite, and the kind of customer you'd want to work with, I don't mind at all

I used to have a partner who visited EVERY DAY OFF, and stay for hours. He worked full time too, and was known as abit of a snitch, so I overall I do think of very frequent visitors behaving like that, as being abit nosy.....If its once in a while, or if they're in and out, I don't think of it as a huge issue.

No, I wouldn't care. I personally avoid going to my store (since there are several other stores nearby) when they've requested additional support or are short staffed. I don't want them to think I'm available just because I came through for coffee - that's the only thing there.

A fellow shift supervisor shit talked me to the whole team because I got coffee on my day off while they were short staffed lol I don’t care I’m gonna use my free coffee benefit thanks

No. People have come in when it’s busy. As long as they don’t expect special treatment and understand that we’re busy it isn’t a problem.

I love seeing my coworkers on their days off! As long as they’re not ordering a million complicated drinks lol

Absolutely not. And if someone feels that way, they need to go evaluate themselves. The only reason I'd feel upset is if they were scheduled, called in, and came in for coffee. Especially if I was covering them.

Nah it's fine unless they're the type of partner to try and talk your ear off while it's busy as shit while they're coming in as just a customer. Grinds my gears!! Any other time I'm happy to say hey to my peeps

no not at all unless they’re ordering like ten drinks during peak lol

Im never upset seeing my friends no matter how busy! HOWEVER I have had someone call off from an opening shift and left us down a person all of Peak, who then came through the drive in the afternoon and used her markout and THAT is not cool!

It depends. We have a partner that comes in on our busiest days at our busiest times and orders multiple drinks, often in DT, then makes shady comments instead of waiting patiently. She knows better and whats worse is that we arent even one of the 3 closests stores to her house and all of them are much slower than our crazy store. That bothers me but i would never say anything (except about the comments, thats not cool).

Plenty of our other partners come in all the time and idc

Not in a normal circumstance. We do have one partner at my store though who comes in when we’re busy every time. They come through the drive thru, order at least 4 super complicated drinks, and then they stay at the window to chat… then on top of that, they’re kind of a “Karen” and will have us remake their drinks and complains they’re made wrong. I love working with them, but as a customer, they suck. The best part is they complain about literally all of the things they do every time. But normally, I love seeing my coworkers come in - even if we’re busy.

…. Only if they came in wanting 500 complicated drinks in the drive thru …. Didn’t know how to order (never actually works so pretends like they know what they want but is like ohhh I wanted that first one blonde after it’s done) … during peak… waited to get drinks that took forever to make and then decides to come inside…. Rant about yesterday over…. Lol

I always look up the location I’m going to on Google and try to plan to go when they’re not busy. Google provides those little bar graphs of days and times that the store is usually busy.

Wherever i've worked, when co-workers came in on their day off, id ask them to go get me (insert fast food place).

It depends. I mean if they just stumble in and don't know it's busy til they get there no big deal, if they have a small order no big deal


If we've sent multiple messages in our GroupMe begging for help and they show up as a customer yeah that annoys me

If they have a large and/or complicated order thats annoying too

No

Usually I really don’t mind , but there’s one partner i work with who works about 4 hours a week , comes round the drive thru once every single day (sometimes twice) and orders about 8 drinks , half of them are fraps (which are all different), and she’ll come during a morning or evening rush. We close at 8:30pm and she came in at 8:20 once with a huge order. After a few months of this you can imagine it irritates us

Only if they were supposed to come in and called out or got asked to come in and said no. I mean they’re not responsible for coming in at all but if you know we’re unstaffed fuck off.

partner from my store coming in when busy? i’m pissed. partner from a different store, it’s whatever

I love when my fellow partners come in when im working it makes my shift so much better.

No but If they come in, impatient and/or with a big ass order — then yes.

Only if they’re from the same store and know they’re coming at the busiest time and order more than 3 drinks, or super complicated things that they know will slow us down (and only in the drive thru) and yes, partners from my own store do this. But that’s a specific kind of scenario. It’s unfair to get mad at someone for getting something they’re allowed to just because it’s busy… that’s not their fault.

Just as long as it wasn’t some long and complicated order :)

If they come in during peak with large or complicated orders and/or distract the other partners working, it's annoying.

It wouldn’t really bother me that much, I’d be glad they got to have time off.

Absolutely not. If they aren’t on the schedule and they wanna come in to enjoy their discounted/ free food and beverages then by all means, I love to see my partners free!

Only if they order something very time consuming
