if she’s making the same pay as the rest of us how can she afford $120 worth of pastries 😭
MoneyFree9911 43 points 1y ago
Prob manager idk. Lol. Or discount if you guys have one?

betrayal
Kyde_Drakes 224 points 1y ago
She wouldn’t dare go to her own store and pull that crap. The betrayal is real.
E-Aphrodite [OP] 116 points 1y ago
I know right!!! How dare she, I was thinking why didn’t she go to her own store for that massive order
MonstrousGiggling 102 points 1y ago
I would have casually dropped "oh so youre a partner? Awesome! I love working at this store, whichstore are you from?" Or something like that so I can go cause chaos at her store.

Lol not really but the petty side of me would definitely think of that for a second.
Kyde_Drakes 69 points 1y ago
They would have no doubt given her so much crap and grief for doing that. I would have.
bootrick 15 points 1y ago
Or at least have the courtesy to CALL. Sending this through mobile is 🤬
28_stab_wounds_1 56 points 1y ago
We can’t trust the eight digit partners 😤
E-Aphrodite [OP] 66 points 1y ago
I don’t know if I’m crazy but it’s something about those 320s that I just cannot with
28_stab_wounds_1 39 points 1y ago
this reminds me of the time when someone came in and bought like 70 reusable cold cups, and I had to pull every individual sticker for them before I could get to actual warming. I was so terrified of how many foods were going to be waiting behind all of that shit
[deleted] 23 points 1y ago
seeing comments like this makes me so nervous because i've been trying really hard not to order anything complicated with my partner numbers
PsychoticAria 1 points 1y ago

For real though!
misscerh 76 points 1y ago
This....this is why they invented Costco

!!
Meggilli91 56 points 1y ago
I’m glad you put her name on blast! Public shame is necessary with that behaviour

Edit for grammar*
E-Aphrodite [OP] 49 points 1y ago
Imagine she checks this Reddit
Meggilli91 17 points 1y ago
I actually hope so!
ObnoxiousR 46 points 1y ago
The corporation finds this partner guilty of Anti-starbucks behavior, and the store sentence you to do deep clean for 10 months
ashinabi 34 points 1y ago
In the middle of peak??
E-Aphrodite [OP] 61 points 1y ago
ITS THE MIDDLE OF PEAK AND THERES AN EVENT DOWN THE STREET!!! So it’s sooo packed!!
ashinabi 20 points 1y ago
They did you so dirty. Godspeed, OP.
FfierceLaw 32 points 1y ago
Her SM could have ordered a box for her if she planned ahead. That store she’s buying from will need to do an emergency pastry pull now that
JBlittz 15 points 1y ago
I’m kind of surprised they had 70 on hand to begin with.
sharkoss 3 points 1y ago
That's what I was thinking, I work at a high volume store but even then we only have maybe 16 vb scones pulled for peak because no one orders them lol
cringeqween13 3 points 1y ago
She should've only gotten frozen shit.
deeciphered 16 points 1y ago
Just give away the pastry cart at this rate.
acertwo 11 points 1y ago
Probably been a partner for a week lmfao
cringeqween13 4 points 1y ago
Probably only finished the computer training
ArwenScamander 10 points 1y ago
So i used to do this when i worked at a corporate stores because I voulunteered with our towns *self-unlive* prevention coalition and we had meetings every month so i would go in with my partner discount and buy everyone's stuff ince a month. It was a small town so they would usually be like "can you grab the non-warmed stuff yourself?" And I always would (id just grab a carrier bag and take it off the pastry cart stuff that wasn't pulled yet so that I didn't mess them up too badly (side note to the side note we never stocked the cart that was behind the case really we just always ended up pulling stuff from the big cart 😂) that way they only had to warm up like 4 sandwiches and everything else was taken care of.
cringeqween13 7 points 1y ago
Okay but you did it at your own store and they knew you were coming unlike with what happened with OP
ArwenScamander 3 points 1y ago
Oh yeah for sure. I honestly still felt bad about it through 😂. I always called ahead just in case because its felt shifty not to.
kobo15 10 points 1y ago
She better have ordered those VB scones in groups of 4
imathrowayslc 17 points 1y ago
And only those. Your more then welcome to buy all the scones as long as your ok with me handing you a frozen box.
FoxyOnTheRun_ 8 points 1y ago
That’s not very punk rock of you Lindsey
mrcupcake18 8 points 1y ago
Fired because how dare they! ಠ_ಠ
starbucksbaristaofc 8 points 1y ago
Out of curiosity- how can you tell she’s a partner based on the sticker?
E-Aphrodite [OP] 32 points 1y ago
Oh I took her order and she gave me her numbers!
starbucksbaristaofc 10 points 1y ago
Oh - sorry. I was just curious if the sticker showed it - can you tell I’ve been working at the Siren since 5 am?
E-Aphrodite [OP] 16 points 1y ago
Me too :/ morning shifts everyday, I usually prefer it bc morning people are more tolerable than afternoon people, however someone order 6 frappes at 5:45 and food and there was only me and another girl :)))
starbucksbaristaofc 3 points 1y ago
Oh no - that’s no fun
paulywolly 2 points 1y ago
Fraps.
star_pants 7 points 1y ago
Nobody else just straight up refuses these orders?

Like, I've been driving in a packed car with friends or relatives and had somebody suggest Starbucks and wont use my discount if they order an obscene amount of stuff. Like a drink? Okay. Two frappuccinos and three food items per person? No discount and we're going inside not the dt.
gayghoul5876 7 points 1y ago
But did she at least tell you guys to increase the pull the day before she ordered all of this...... if not why.
Zealousideal_Ebb4679 5 points 1y ago
nah, they should’ve pulled the pastries themselves the night before to account for that much gone and given their own team a heads up
cringeqween13 4 points 1y ago
Please tell me you checked their ID to make sure they were ACTUALLY a partner
Superduperfreddy 3 points 1y ago
..Imagine
RareLingonberry 2 points 1y ago
Partners who go to stores they don’t work at with insane orders must be banished
starbsbista 2 points 1y ago
We have a 320 partner that has her availability set to where she gets off halfway through morning peak and then she orders 8 drinks… every single time
cpv_91 1 points 1y ago
Ummm.. That's a NO or keep moving them to the end of your line. 😂
[deleted] 2 points 1y ago
If you have money like this to drop at Starbucks why are you working at Starbucks? Even with our discount
[deleted] 2 points 1y ago
There is no God
existenaliens 2 points 1y ago
Their partner card has been revoked!
kaefeen 1 points 1y ago
that should be illegal
AuntieRia1128 1 points 1y ago
I can’t believe you had everything they ordered in stock! 😱🤣

JustFacts76 1 points 1y ago
We have a regular that comes in a getes 30 assorted pastrys for his business and we really love pulling all those tickers during a rush. But he's a chill guy
BookDragon1996 1 points 1y ago
Dang thats crazy I would have been so annoyed with her
[deleted] 1 points 1y ago

Well not as bad (I think) we had a tenured partner as I could guess from her Partner numbers come in today during peak and order 7 drinks at the drive through.

I think partners are allowed to buy what they want 👀
melodiic_ 6 points 1y ago
no one is saying that you can't, it's just inconsiderate and rude to not call the night before to let the store know you're gonna be coming in and ordering a lot of food in the morning. by calling ahead, you give the store time to pull enough food for you and have some warning that they'll be preparing you 34 food items in the middle of peak, lmao. most stores only have 2 ovens.
