This was in the weekly update like 2 weeks ago. You can mark out 7 food items a week but they must be marked out on your shifts, no limit to how many per day anymore as long as you don’t go over 7 a week. Drink mark outs are now back to the standard benefit of as many drinks as you want starting 30 minutes before your shift until 30 minutes after your shift. You no longer get mark outs at locations you aren’t working at or on your days off.

Guys. Guys. The free food and drink markout every day, no matter whether you worked or not, was a temporary benefit during the worst of the Covid shutdowns. Prior to that, we only had one food item per day worked, plus drink markouts only on days worked. Prior to that, guess what… we didn’t even have food markouts at all, but we had the usual beverage markout policy. I know a lot of you were hired during the pandemic, and I’m rarely one to defend corporate actions, but even this reduction in food benefits is generous. 7 free food items a week, no matter hours worked, plus drinks before, after, and during being on the clock. There are battles to pick, and this is not it.

-Edited to say that they even extended the benefit, which was set to expire earlier in the year. I’m about as anti-corporate as they come, and our free food is not where the problem lies.

I told myself I was going to quit once I stopped getting free food and drinks… and I probably will.

Starbucks makes too much money to not allow markouts to continue, especially drink markouts when it costs then like .50 to a $1 to make for most drinks.

We love a fake liberal company.

these new policies are way too anal lol i steal the food and ill do it again

This has been discussed several times on this sub already.
