My store was broken into, the bottom window next to the door smashed. People were bending down and yelling through the smashed window if we were opening that day
abandon_hopeless 44 points 1y ago
This happened at my store too!!! My opening SSV and I were sitting outside waiting for the police because we weren't supposed to go inside until escorted by police and customers were not very understanding. It really makes me wonder about some people's priorities

Had a guy get stabbed in our lobby once. We had the door unlocked for the cops to go in and out after, there's a pool of blood in the lobby and crime scene tape and customers still came in and stepped around the tape and tried to order

When we said our store was a drive thru, this isn't what we meant
luvduvbunny 99 points 1y ago

bruppfamm [OP] 117 points 1y ago

yirium 5 points 1y ago
I really genuinely do not think my store would have closed if this happened so props to your SM/DM

"Is your lobby open?"
pickled_goblin 16 points 1y ago

To people asking why this keeps happening: it’s what happens when no one wants to admit that driving has turned into a right and not a privilege.

There are plenty of people who can’t feel their lower extremities anymore or get confused about what P vs R vs D on the shifter is or a multitude of other things that shouldn’t be driving. And loved ones don’t want to take their keys away because it’ll take away their loved one’s independence and they drive into buildings or farmers markets or crosswalks. I lost my license for 6 months while I underwent medical testing to prove I was safe to drive and I still maintained my independence by using rideshares and public transport with what I’d normally spend in gas until I regained my license back. There’s honestly no excuse for the frequency of how often someone is driving into a building.

SnazzyVow 10 points 1y ago
When you thought your put your car in reverse
puttybutty 7 points 1y ago
Even if you put it in reverse, you're definitely not supposed to slam on the gas. Especially when it's in reverse.
SnazzyVow 4 points 1y ago
I’ve seen this happen so much at Costco, chances are she didn’t slam her foot down lol sorry there wasn’t a pole to catch her lmao

Why has this not happened at my store? I want it to so bad
destineenicole- 8 points 1y ago
How does that even happen?
frappeyourmom 33 points 1y ago
Because no one wants to take keys away from people who really shouldn’t be driving.
pervasivebarrier 6 points 1y ago
how does this stuff even happen? i swear this is like the third or fourth time i’ve seen this happen at a starbucks on this reddit in the past year
VastDarkGrey1991 5 points 1y ago
This kind of reminds me of when I worked at Starbucks, we had one of the big patio umbrellas break off its base during high winds and literally fly through our window.

was everyone okay? we had our building hit twice by the same guy back in february and they still haven’t fixed it 🙃
namastebetches 2 points 1y ago
twice by the same guy? is there more to this story?
save-me-plz- 1 points 1y ago
lol yea twice. hit the store but had to get over the side walk curb and thru out little fence up front for outside seating then hit the building. then reversed and hit it again. on the news it said brake malfunction but he had to leave in a ambulance because he had some sort of diabetes thing happening. i’m not too sure what exactly was wrong. i was taking the trash out at the time and heard it and i thought someone hit a car again in our parking lot because it happens way too often but nope it was the building. thankfully lobby was empty and our line is way far away from where he hit. physically everyone was fine but mentally it freaked some of my coworkers out for a few days which i don’t blame them.

“No drive thru?”.
pfiendy 1 points 1y ago
Why is there a lobby in your drive thru???
galaxydisco17 1 points 1y ago
That's probably not what starbucks meant by drive through.
cec-nut 1 points 1y ago

heartashley 1 points 1y ago
So you mean drive thru doesn't actually mean drive through?
tinydesthique 1 points 1y ago
