New to reddit and havent ever been able to ask this question (self.starbucksbaristas)

Can SSVs be dating baristas? Furthermore can they actively work as a barista under their SSV who is their significant other?

You cannot date a shift working at the same store as you as a barista. You CAN date them if they’re at another store.

so my issue is there is a shift who I think thinks I like her boyfriend (barista) mainly because im always joking around and laughing with the other openers (mainly have dudes at my store few women) I always get my work done but I think she finds me laughing at a joke flirty... anyways its very common for her to single me out from the rest of the partners and act rude correct me constantly and shes the only one doing so the rest of the shifts always compliment me and tell me how im doing great ask me to help the newbies that are struggling teach them how I got quicker etc idk im planning on separating myself pretty soon so I guess it doesnt matter but if I was staying I would likely report it knowing this information now as its made for a hostile work environment

Oooooo this is a very easy thing to report. It’s this kind of behavior that causes these kinds of rules to be put in place. If they’ve ever been flirty in front of you, you can tell partner resources that they’ve made comments to each other that has made you feel uncomfortable.

Thats the thing I havent which is surprising they keep it platonic at work the SSV is just intimidating any female that breathes around her boyfriend thats why Im struggling about reporting anything the SM knows about it and hasnt done anything but I may report it to partner resources before I leave just to let them know because liability wise if they ever broke up she is his supervisor and could make his life hell because of it idk bad thing to allow

wish I would have asked sooner im new to reddit and its not really a question I can ask in my store as it would be obvious that I was talking about these two partners im almost positive the SSV thinks im flirting w her boyfriend the barista because we always laugh and joke around at open another partner has told me to keep away from her boyfriend because shes had issues in the past with boundaries (assuming she meant jealousy) we have a mainly male staff at my store with literally 4 girls but in the morning while opening we always talk and joke around HOWEVER I always get my work done every other ssv compliments me always has great things to say and if we are training will often ask me to help them once they get off of the one on one training to teach them the tricks of how I got faster over time but the SSV in question seems to have an annoyance for me constantly corrects me (for example this morning during peak we ran out of panini bags and I had to use sandwich bags and she over the headset said three times "\*my name\* please make sure we are using the proper bags we need to be consistent not sloppy" I tend to have to stay quiet as I will lose focus or get upset so I just need to breath after the 3rd time I said "we've said over the head set multiple times we have no panini bags please stop talking to me about it" snarky I know but ive bit my tongue for 10 months now) im frustrated if I knew sooner I would have reported it its made for a toxic work environment not because they are lovey at work but because she seems jealous I dont want her man I just dont want to sit in dead silence and open at 4am lmao im separating so it really doesnt matter now I guess

there’s actually no written policy about dating within your store. if anything it could be seen as a “potential conflict of interest” but it is up to your SM/DM’s own discretion whether they want to allow it or not.
that being said, reading your comments, it is very apparent that their relationship is causing disturbances in the workplace and there is clear favoritism (or in this case just plain jealousy) happening. if your SM is aware if this but is doing nothing about it, you should definitely report it to either your DM and/or ethics & compliance, even if you are planning on separating from the company. they do not need to be working in the same store if their relationship creates a toxic working environment
