Im sure they will give you tips on it if u ask them but also at the end of the day you can try and walk on your toes with your store manager but that’s just not the Starbucks experience you should have u know? You should feel confortable around your store manager because they should be on your side yes they deal with corporate directly but that’s the job if store managers everywhere would do their jobs right and not stress about possible loosing their jobs because they are challenging the status quo too much for their dm’s liking most likely there wouldn’t be any unions because partners would feel safe to speak up… but that’s not the case in today’s Starbucks instead you can try and defend yourself basically from power crazy store manager with the bare minimum help from corporate cuz like you said at the end of the day your store manager can make everything on their power to not make you like the job to the point you are force to quit, it’s easier for them to do that then to fire you honestly, so the true solution ive found in my experience is to start a new in a new store pretty much or at least until the heat between you and that store manager cools down it’s sad but it’s the truth at the end of the day at the district level Starbucks is just a “political” field. That has been my experience at least for the passed years

Thank you so much! I appreciate this a lot
