It didn't used to be that way. I miss the old Starbucks, the actual third place.

Sadly very true... My first week's schedule was perfect and fit my availability. 2nd week in and it was flipped to nothing but my unavailable times. The manager tells me it's just the way it is and maybe if I work hard enough I can get "better" shifts?

I don't need "better" shifts, I need the ones that fit my actual schedule. I go to college and commute and have another job at night. They told me they don't need to hear about how I spend my "free time."

What the actual hell?

Something similar happened with me. Except i didnt get scheduled during my unavailable times. My manager told me that if i work hard enough, i can get more hours. But she said "there are hours to give but i need to see that u want it. Im not guna take hours away from *coworkers name* and give it to someone who doesnt show that they want it" ...lmao what?? First of all it would be messed up to give a partner somebody elses hours. If u have to do that, then no u dont have hours to give like u just stated. And i NEVER call out. Ive been with starbucks a little over 2 years and only called out 2 separate times which was last year. I work myself to the damn core every day im there and she tells me i dont "want it"?? Ok lolol

I’d be scheduled to work a night shift until around 8:30-9:00pm then come in the next morning to open when I was 35-40 minutes away

My canon for the siren is the Robot Chicken skit centered around it.
