I miss corporate stores (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by mrbubblegxm
I work at a Tarbucks now and let me say the grass is dead on the other side. Tarbucks baristas do get paid more for sure, but it’s only because at any given moment are severely understaffed, none of the trainees are properly trained, and it’s way more upright. (Yesterday I was by myself for an hour during a lunch rush) Even at my old stores worst day would still be better than average day at Tarbucks. I miss shifts, roles, people knowing how to make drinks right, people cleaning up after themselves, I miss the stickers, I miss corporate stores so much.
😭✋ but i can’t afford to work at a normal store so i’m stuck in hell 💔

I feel for ya. At least we have some semblance of standards.

On the bright side, by the summer everyone will be making $15 minimum at all corporate locations, and probably more depending on what market you live in. It might be worth checking back in then; even though your rate won't go up as much as someone who's been working straight through, with a higher base rate and actual tips it might not be too much different from what you make working at Target.

Good luck!
