Hi, I am new to starbucks and it would be my 2nd job so my experience on handling situations I think is a little lacking. I am a college student and was upfront that my availability will vary throughout the year and I was hired about a little over a month ago. When hired I told them my schedule was open except for the 2 days I had class and even then I was willing to work after class. So I have not had a set schedule, but I noticed I have been scheduled mostly for 5:30am shifts to whenever. My summer classes begin late July and will only be 8 weeks long. I submitted a new availability at work and had it denied. Im unsure of what to do because the classes I need are always slim to none and this class I have is the only one available to me. I figured its May and telling my employer nearly 2 months in advance would be enough time. Im unsure of how to approach my manager about this and would like some advice. School is a priority for me and I hope things work out because its only been a month and so far Starbucks as been a much more professional job than my last where work conditions felt unsafe.


For context my class is a science Nursing prereq and it would be mon - thursday 8 am - 1:15pm. I was pretty much open to working anytime other than that, but I know those are big chunks of the day. I had left weekends open and was willing to work after class weekdays, but other than that im not sure what else I can do to work with business needs. I need time to study for class as well...
