Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Just a rant: SSV about to get a final (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by itsjae96
Hey guys, so long story short. I’m a SSV and I usually opened until recently. Anyway, my SM checks the Covid check in log weekly to see if partners are bing checked in. However, I’ve already received a verbal warning and written warning already for not checking in some of the openers, especially the late ones. Some of them arrive over 5 minutes late and because I’m busy setting up in the morning, they immediately get to work without checking in with me.
Im tired of getting in trouble cause it’s been the same person twice now. I’ll admit it is partly my fault but I think BS that my livelihood is put on the line because other partners fail to check in with me before they even start their shift.
On top of that, another SSV who works at night has done that a few times and hasn’t gotten written up once
So how do I address this issue ??

Yeah no this is stupid. At a time when they’re not even requiring mask anyMore what’s really the point

Make sure your baristas are checked in.

In my district, lots of SSVs and even SMs have been fired for this, which is ridiculous imo. If possible, put yourself in the CS role so that way you can flex out of the play really quick to get that person checked in. Also, talk to your baristas, be vulnerable with them, and clearly communicate what you expect from them when they come onto the shift.
Also, tell your manager when they’re coming in late constantly because that adds stress to you and your baristas will keep coming in late unless there is a consequence to their actions!

This seems like an extreme thing to be threatening someone with. I’m sorry about that nasty response, OP. Given that many places aren’t even requiring masks anymore, I think you’re doing just fine. I used to work the opening shift and they’re hectic enough. Factor in people showing up late and calling off, and it can be hard to remember this. I consider myself very COVID conscious and I even forget to write it in the book sometimes! We’re all human, and you’re even busier than some. Don’t beat yourself up. I would set a reminder on your phone to check in with the people who are coming in late at the end of your morning rush, just to ensure that you are checking. Don’t worry too much! Just try to figure out a better routine to follow, and it’ll iron itself out!

Of all the things I see about people on here have issues with, this is the one I don’t feel bad for. Do your job.
