You seriously need to understand Starbucks business is an an entity itself. Your manager is one of the least powerful people at the company they just manage to keep your store afloat by following directions to a T. It seriously is corporate consistently straining the manager to cut as much labor as possible you need to give them slack im sure they’re trying as hard as they can to assist each and every one of their partners better than corporate would treat you if they had the opportunity.

Well that’s the obvious answer gone. I will say that this is common practice for most Store Managers to avoid overtime. I’d make sure that you’re clocking in and out on time, if you’re asked to stay late a little then do that. Don’t ask to go home immediately at the end of your scheduled shift and you’ll get pretty close to your 40 hours. Starbucks is extremely strict about OT so we will never schedule anyone for exactly 40 hours unless they’re salaried.
