Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Has Starbucks changed their policy on personal pins? I just got threatened with a write up by a new-ish shift saying I couldn't wear them unless they were Starbucks issued. I've worked with Starbucks for just over a year and took a year off never had issues. I had a pride pin and Winnie the poh. (self.starbucksbaristas)

official standard is that they can only be the ones issued to us by starbucks/the ones available on coffeegear, but obvi it depends on the strictness of your store ig,,,, only your sm and asm can write you up tho so that's an empty threat from your shift LOL

While they're correct, they can't write you up lol. They're tripping for no reason.

The official policy is only Starbucks pins. Just depends on the variation in enforcement of the policy.

depends on the store and the leadership. at my store, we’re allowed to wear any pins. at a store i covered at, they were only allowed to wear pins from some website, coffeegear i think. pretty sure that’s the official policy tho

I mean, rules are rules.

But can you imagine being THAT shift sup who writes people up for wearing a Winnie the Pooh pin!? I imagine they must be very popular in their store 😂

This is good to know, cause I slowly started adding personal pins to my apron. One is a Frappuccino with ghosts in the cup so I call it a spookaccino
