5% raises baby!!! (self.starbucksbaristas)

submitted by 3aTroop

Soo…. That’s all, that’s all?

Mo_Maha1755 60 points 1y ago

Soo less than a dollar raise for most?

SewOnAndSewForth 32 points 1y ago

Yeah, I did the math. 5% for me is like maybe 75¢. Wtf.

Victoriamarie03 5 points 1y ago

60¢ here 😂

calebaretta 4 points 1y ago

It should be a raise to $15 iirc, bc 60 cents would mean you’re making 12 now

Victoriamarie03 2 points 1y ago

I think the post meant the retracted that and were only getting a 5% raise.. and I do make 12/hr

absolutefoo 52 points 1y ago

debating my future w company tbh :(

Decent_Wall1380 7 points 1y ago

i’m glad i’m leaving for college soon

champshere 43 points 1y ago

Making it very easy to want to unionize

Razoriya 23 points 1y ago

At tarbucks I got a 5 cent raise! Told them to keep their money.

fewercharacters 19 points 1y ago

what a joke

Eastern_Effective_49 17 points 1y ago

That’s a slap in the face

fouflett1 15 points 1y ago

Wait, so are we not getting a raise to $15 base pay in july? ??

whatjever 10 points 1y ago

I thought it was $15 or 3% increase.. whichever would give you more.

giuseppinameurer 11 points 1y ago

So an 8% + rise in inflation, but only a 5% raise…. Makes sense

Imaginarybluntallday 6 points 1y ago

I’m in the 3% range for the bonus bc I was hired at the end of 2020. Thank god I moved up bc my raise will be like .60 cents v. the like .40 cents… but still neither sound great… and also is this an extra raise or the one promised a long time ago and now they are doing it?

copicking 6 points 1y ago

So the $15 an hour thing was a lie?

irritablegarlic 1 points 1y ago

if you don’t make $15 an hour you will be making $15 an hour as a barista, $19 an hour as a shift. 3%/5%/7% is if you already make above the new minimum and depends on your tenure.

cats_with_tentacles 6 points 1y ago

Yall are getting raises??

mulderufo13 3 points 1y ago

I never have gotten a raise while working at Starbucks and I’ve been there since 2020

Kaluskydrak 5 points 1y ago

Really? Have you checked your paystubs?

289partnerofq 2 points 1y ago

I’ll prolly get downvoted a lot for this lmao. But isn’t that a lot? Isn’t that around a 23% raise the last 2 years total or so? (In my area at least). And isn’t that like. Very good lol.
I’m happy with it at least 🤷🏼‍♂️ although my viewpoint may just skewed as I don’t rlly care much about this job compared to my healthcare job.

verysIeepy 19 points 1y ago

my sm had to fight to get me a raise of 5% last pay period (i was an sfm) and it ended up being a 10 cent raise so no, 5% is not very much.

Ajskdjurj 1 points 1y ago

If you already made more then the percent or something like that you got less %. I was supposed to get a 5% raise but I ended up getting like 3% which equaled to .67 cents. I’m in a area that starts pay at higher then $15.

thebestdaysofmyflerm 1 points 1y ago

What? 10 cents is 5% of two dollars.

verysIeepy 3 points 1y ago

hey man i’m just saying what i saw between the first paystub and the one after the raise . 19.67 to 19.77

thebestdaysofmyflerm 3 points 1y ago

And I’m just saying that you’re basing your conclusion on faulty math. A 5% raise would have made your pay $20.65 an hour. You actually got a **0.5%** raise.

sunflowercupcakee 5 points 1y ago

I have gotten a .23 cents raise over the last 3 years so no it isn’t around 23% at all it’s 2 cents less than a quarter. My store is so under staffed because pretty much everything including McDonald’s and Burger King pay more than our starting rate.

BAliciaB 4 points 1y ago

Same, Dunkin where I am starts at $18 an hour 🥲

Kambina_Smoke 2 points 1y ago

Whoa, mind if I ask which state? I'm in Florida and I have dunkin friends making 11.50-13 (varying by city a bit.)

289partnerofq 1 points 1y ago

Woah. That’s insane. I didn’t know that. I thought the raises were company wide, obviously not the same per city/state but at least somewhat close.
Over the past 2ish years my entire district. (I pick up shifts at other stores a lot) went from $15.02 to now $18.45

persona-2 5 points 1y ago

It’s also an off cycle increase. We will get a cost of living one in January as well.

sheep_heavenly 3 points 1y ago

Cost of living one is usually 2%, which hasn't matched the actual CoL increase... Ever, I think.

inoskankles 1 points 1y ago

wait so were getting a .5% raise instead of $19? -ssv

irritablegarlic 1 points 1y ago

minimum starbucks wage is going up to $15 per hour, meaning ssv minimum wage will be $19. the 3%/5%/7% is if you already make 15+/tenured 2-5 years/ tenured 5+ years.

trbpanda 1 points 1y ago

no. effective august 1st, base pay goes to 15. partners hired before may 2nd get an additional 3% raise. partners with 2-5 years of experience get an additional 5% raise. partners with 5+ years get an additional 7% raise.

look at $1 article

lilkiosk 1 points 1y ago

Yay 65¢ /s

StarbucksStarbitch 1 points 1y ago

Yeah I’m going to target ✌️

happybowlita83 -21 points 1y ago

This would be for tenured partners after the base $15 national minimum goes through though right? So why are so many of those partners that are already a good percentage above their states minimum wage not satisfied?

hotcheetomamii 15 points 1y ago

it’s simply just not enough, and this goes for every minimum wage job. making under $20 in a majority of the US is impossible if you want to live comfortably. so many of us are in school, or have family’s. we have to balance other real life instances with trying to make ends meets with increases in rent and influx in other necessities around us. it’s sad how little almost every minimum wage worker makes especially with the amount of work we do

happybowlita83 -22 points 1y ago

Then why not try to.move up in the company to.make a higher wage?

sheep_heavenly 15 points 1y ago

Because then someone else is stuck making a low wage, unable to afford basic living expenses. It's not about escaping for yourself, it's also about not letting that kind of worker abuse continue.

hotcheetomamii 8 points 1y ago

couldn’t have said it better myself

hotcheetomamii 9 points 1y ago

that’s a joke right

happybowlita83 -18 points 1y ago

You'd still be a barista with just more or different responsibilities... leaving the actual barista positions open for college students that need flexible schedules, high school students that need to work, single parents that need flexible schedules and benefits, people looking to go to ASU to afford an education, etc...

violentfemme17 13 points 1y ago

That doesn’t even cover cost of living.

happybowlita83 -4 points 1y ago

How though? I'm in an expensive state where the minimum wage is already at 15, and the raises we got put us less than 10% over minimum wage I only work part time and my SO doesn't have a "high paying job" wage compares to that of an Amazon warehouse worker and we can pay a mortgage loan, utilities, a car payment, car insurance for 2, food, 3 pets, and a savings to last up to 6 months. we don't live frugally either and go out to eat often... I don't expect sbux to offer me a livable wage as a barista though, maybe as a ssv and obviously as a SM.

cats_with_tentacles 8 points 1y ago

I make 15 an hour currently and with hours being cut (from 35 to 20) I am currently bringing home about 1200 a month, give or take.

My rent is 1100.

I am currently working on moving up in the company, but unless you get to work full time hours its just not doable. I could get a new job, but then I would be starting all over at a new place and still only making the same amount, if not less.

happybowlita83 -2 points 1y ago

I'm sorry to hear you're going through a rough patch, hopefully things get better and you get the position soon! I honestly prepare for a cut in hours since it's been a yearly thing and it happens worse fot my spouse's field as well, right after my hours go up he gets laid off for about 2 months every year and it's difficult but we manage to put together a savings for those months.

oooortcloud 6 points 1y ago

“I don’t expect sbux to offer me a living wage as a barista”

That, right there. That’s the problem. Why shouldn’t a person be able to afford to pay their rent by working full-time as a Starbucks barista? Or as a grocery stock employee? Or a retail cashier? What is so low-value about these jobs, and the people who work them, that has society convinced that they don’t deserve to afford to pay rent and bills after working a full time job? Regardless of what it is?

happybowlita83 -1 points 1y ago

It's not of low value, it's just crazy to think that a job a high school student can get to enter the work field would offer them the opportunity to just drop out of high school instead because they can just afford to live on their own working 40 hrs a week at sbux even if it's their first job... hopefully that answers your question.

whatjever 3 points 1y ago

I day trade during the day so it doesn’t effect me but let’s say I didn’t.

I make $1.4k a month at Starbucks working 24 hours a week. In my time away from work, I’m also going to school and interning at a firm. Mortgage is $1,450/mo for a condo, $400/mo for my car and insurance, $200/mo for pet expenses (an ESA dog), and that doesn’t even cover groceries or my own leisure time.. and then our SM gets mad whenever our partners try and get more hours from others.

Not even kidding I think I’d be homeless if I didn’t day trade.
