idkkk as “unprofessional” as it is to bring a vape to work, why blast someone in a groupchat using slang and emojis to stir up drama. so many other ways it could’ve been handled
plus like. you’re using someone else’s apron (gross) and digging around in it… then taking pictures of their stuff… hello???
EDIT: quotes around unprofessional bc i personally don’t give a fuck lol

this. The shift was the immature & unprofessional one in this situation.
Brave-Storm94 points1y ago
I was a shift and I cannot imagine caring about this at all let alone giving someone a public lashing over it. An SM maybe would but it would still be a little weird.

That’s kinda gross borrowing someone’s apron.. or is that just me?
eeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeee30 points1y ago
I always bring my apron home because I don’t like sharing but some baristas leave their aprons at the store leading to this…
DaddyGray697 points1y ago
Our store only got like 8 red aprons for 45 partners, instead of just playing favorites, we just agreed as a shift team to take turns running them home to wash.

Sounds like the shift needed to hit the vape! My SM told me to smack it out the back door. People should calm their tits and mind their own business? 👌🏼if it’s not yours, don’t touch it?

OH NO NOT A VAPE 🙄🙄🙄
leeblissy15 points1y ago
hilarious coming from the ssv that forgot their entire apron????? at least the partner that owns this apron remembered what was important to have at work (the vape obviously 🙄)
brattiebun13 points1y ago
That was pretty rude of your shift :/ that should be a private conversation not a call out
C0ffeeCoffeeC0ffee10 points1y ago
They've never heard of vaping out the back door? Who *doesn't* vape out the back door?
maemac9 points1y ago
I’m glad everyone else found this rude af too. The last message attacking the partners work ethic was especially not necessary. Messages like this is why we are discouraged and even in some districts not allowed to have group chats. Not an excuse to be catty and rude.
amalia13lightning1 points1y ago
Not allowed? They can discourage it all they want, but Starbucks is not legally able to stop anyone from communicating outside of work.
mulderufo136 points1y ago
Honestly dragging someone like this is a bit rude. I myself have pens and sharpies always in my pockets, plus lotion, sometimes ice and beans lol. Like maybe they took all their pens out and forgot their vape ? It happens. This shift just went extra for no reason and acted above their wage.
I expect this from a sm not a shift
FfierceLaw5 points1y ago
Somebody’s buying a new vape today. That shift is such a douche. Assume Best Intent. Having the vape onboard got the user to and from breaks faster. This is a hard working partner getting trashed. Union

How about being more responsible, not forgetting YOUR apron and keeping your hands off other people's items? Gross as shit. How are you going to put someone on blast when you started the conversation explaining how you needed to "borrow" (which I feel should imply consent of the other partner) someone's property and if it wasn't there you would have been SOL? Get off your high horse.
spacespecterr3 points1y ago
bro my ssvs hit their vapes in the back room after shifts, and out the door during, and literally nobody gives a fuck. the immature and GROSSLY unprofessional thing being done here is airing somebody out in a public chat, accessible to the whole store, and then acting like they are somehow morally superior.
*someone* should not be in a position of power, if you ask me.

Shift giving “pick me” energy.
MrsClaireUnderwood3 points1y ago
Yikes. That shift needs a hit of that vape.
Chemical-Less2 points1y ago
At least they didnt find a dab pen lmao this shift sounds like a piece of work
Due_Dragonfruit_7721-2 points1y ago
Yea, should not post this to the public! This is a private conversation!!!
DaybreakNightfall0 points1y ago
Call corporate, have them investigate and, if you have any luck, you'll get someone fired just in time for Christmas! Cheers. Doubt it though since this private conversation has absolutely no identifying information in it.

We once had a customer come in and ask if we’d found a vape in the bathroom. No, we didn’t. And also why was your vape out in the bathroom…? Were you vaping in the bathroom when the exit door is 6 feet away from it?
Like we’ve literally walked into the bathroom and it was just a fucking cloud. People are assholes.
