People not having an ID while driving, with an order like that… I never feel bad about it.

No ID…sure buddy lol

Wait are we supposed to ask for/show an ID when it comes to partners ordering? I didn’t know we were supposed to ask, and I’ve never been asked for my ID when using my numbers.

Dear, everyone… when people (tiktokers) were stealing partner numbers because they were available on receipts, etc, it became known. My store specifically said any for purchase we need Parter ID, but the store across the way in the same city doesn’t do it. At my store we would get into huge trouble if we didn’t ask for ID, or if they were working today, using discount or mark out, etc. Every store is different.

some of these comments are killing me pls pls pls always ask for ID🙏🙏

Btw what do y'all do if the partner is trans and their ID looks nothing like them, has the gender on it that they don't look like, and has their deadname? I've been refused my discount multiple times because my ID "doesn't match" my appearance and partner numbers and I've explained I'm trans but they don't care. I just don't go to other stores now. I think there should a some kind of training in place for what to do when this happens because it's infuriating.

I had a woman come in the other day and wanted to use partner numbers. She asked if we could look them up for her and I assumed she was a new hire and that’s why she didn’t remember them. When she finally found them, it was like a 290xxxx number. Girl… I don’t know whose numbers you were trying to use but they don’t work here anymore (discount failed) and they definitely would have them memorized if they still did and they definitely wouldn’t have to ask me what the employee discount is.

Standard is ask for ID if they just shoot you the numbers. If they have a physical partner card or their numbers on the app an ID is not necessary. Also, when using their partner numbers, partners are supposed to be the ones paying for the order.
Ex: mom and partner daughter come in. Partner gives numbers and mom goes to pay. This is against policy as it’s the daughters discount, not moms.
My district has had a lot of partner number abuse so we’ve had to crack down hard on making sure all partners are following policy regarding their discounts and mark outs.

I usually just ask for their last name as well.

As a 187**** that was trained by a 175****, I was told to only ask for ID if their order is more than $20. But honestly maybe they changed policy? Idk. It's always been that way for me since I started.

I'm sorry.. I'm reading most of these comments and I just need to put this out there. It has always been a requirement to ask for ID be it your partner card or a government issued ID. Our discount is a benefit not a right and we are expected to provide proof of the eligibility to that benefit. This has always been the rule not just since the partner number showing on our receipt incident of last year. We ALL work pretty damn hard and put up with a whole hell of alot for our benefits and I personally don't feel others should be reaping the rewards from our hard labor. Do you??

Caveat: if you know the partner, obviously you aren't going to card them.

Since when do we ask for IDs? Lol I’ve never been asked and have never asked oops

We are not suppose to ask for ID’s to support the partners who in the process of transitioning I thought. The beauty bout starbucks is we have the opportunity to choose our name which is what will pull up when you put your partner numbers in. The process of changing it on a license can take awhile sometimes. This is what I was told in three different districts that I have worked since this began.

I’ve started asking for ID if i personally don’t know you . or if they have their partner card , no need to ask :)

I don’t feel bad at all either when they don’t have there I.d

I ordered my partner ID the month I was hired and never received it.

The second a partner orders anything that requires a blender, I give them a look...

you shouldn’t ask for ID anyway…does nobody think of trans partners? you can ask for partner cards, ID is last resort. I would even take someone showing me the schedule app or telling me something only we would know, yk?

We get coffee mark outs for a reason. Make your dumb ass coffee at home. I swear some partners are wack af.

Come after me but it is ridiculous to card every barista and get anal about who is paying. Even if you chew me out? What’s to stop me from getting my friends to zelle me money lol.

I don’t get paid enough to act like this is alcohol or cigarettes. Sometimes a barista just needs to inject sugar and caffeine directly into their veins. And use the WiFi.

Also, yeah, I don’t have my id because I’m forgetful. Fight me about it. I’m still going to be forgetful! It’s probably good I just go to my store.

A real (non douchebag) partner would know to come inside and tell em to take their time :-)

Y’all ID at your Starbucks…?

I only ask for ID if they don't order order drink correctly, they are being rude to me, name is wierd or of they just don't look like a partner or too old. Other than that I only ask for the name

i didn’t get paid enough to care if they were a partner or not. never once asked for an ID, i’m not a bouncer at bar. i’d ask their name, if it was the same name that popped up on the screen.. good enough for me.

In this case, if it was not a partner that worked at my store the I wouldn’t even allow a purchase like that. Technically the partner discount is for the partner but I would absolutely allow a partner to buy some stuff for their family that’s with them but not $70 worth of stuff for their group of friends. You did the right thing.

1 that’s a lot of money for drinks. And 2, where is this person taking all these drinks?

ID?? dude all youre supposed to ask for is their name- MAYBE which store they work at if you feel like being extra petty. kind of a dick move on your part

edit: i dont understand assuming the worst in people, and for everyone saying "its policy", our manager and even one of our corporate reps stated during a visit not to ask for ID to respect trans partners. none of the partners in our district have been sent partner cards, so that's not an option. i still think asking for ID just because a partners order is an inconvenience isnt admirable
