New mandatory lunch policy? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by annoyinglyuseless
Anybody else's stores went from lunch only for 6+ hour long shifts to anything more than 4 hours gets a lunch?
We're on week 2 of being given lunches and i feel so ripped off. We already took labor cuts and now most of us have small shifts, the longest shift baristas have now are 5.5hrs long. Was there a new weekly update about it or are my store supervisors just being the worst? I feel like i work with the worst version of Oprah, You get a lunch! And YOU get a lunch! Everybody gets a lunch!! lol

i thought it was 5+ hours get lunches only?? 4 hours and a lunch seems like something they’d give to minors but still… too little

This is what I thought too, we only have 1 minor at our store and they only work 1 or 2 days a week. But 3 of our shifts just started sending people on lunches basically from the moment some of us clock in. It was a big change so i was wondering if it's just us or if other stores are going through this too.

it depends on your state. look up state lunch laws

yep! in california, lunches have to be started 4 hrs 59 minutes into your shift or before or the company gets a penalty and you go into time and a half until you take your lunch, and also get compensated for an extra hour no matter what. a lot of companies will make lunches the employees’ responsibility and take corrective action if they meal violate
