I'm still going to wear mine because this face is not cute.

Starbucks is lifting it because the CDC is lifting it. Schools can be mask free now, businesses can’t enforce it. There’s no weird conspiracy with Starbs specifically it’s more just the gunna be the new normal overall.

At my store this basically means we will all find out what we actually look like! It's gonna be so weird.

Seriously, I see partners out at a table on break and have to double triple take to recognize them without a mask.

Customers will also have to refigure us out. lol

I know a couple weeks ago they started pushing for the triple ply masks and not the cloth one anymore. Do we know if we can go back to wearing the cloth ones again?

I haven't decided how I feel yet. I think it'll be weird for sure, either way.

I fully plan to still wear my cloth ones for at least a month or so after the lift because usually these happen and there'll be an outbreak or something (I work in a major US city so that's a factor too)

I used to work for the BUX years ago (like 6-7) and can say I loved it back then and even love it now. Only downside is I’ve gotta watch the Rbf now that I’m a shift and plan on reminding everyone that facial expressions matter. (Had one chick say ‘this fucking bitch’ next to the person with the headset….so….needless to say I can imagine the eye rolls or scrunched faces lol)

I’m still wearing mine just because I don’t want to put in the effort of taking all my piercings out every day. 😂

Honestly, if my coworkers are all comfortable with not wearing a mask, I won't. Every customer coming to the store at this point isn't wearing a mask, even if they are sick, so as long as I'm not coughing or sneezing it really doesn't matter one way or the other.

As someone with sensory issues, this is a huge win.
