Mmmmm have fun in federal prison, this is unforgivable /s

Yes you are. Have fun in high security prison. I’ll be surprised if you don’t face the death penalty.

According to policy, it’s theft. You paid for *a* straw and you took a different one. If you have strict management and your coworkers narc on you you could definitely get in trouble, but I feel like a more reasonable SM would just give a verbal warning/slap on the wrist if anything.

lol I wouldn’t lose a single second of sleep over this

If a customer goes to buy the other cup and realizes it’s not the correct straw or if a DM notices (ours would) it could definitely lead to corrective action being taken if someone rats you out. You prolly shouldn’t do it again.

Ur right it’s not that deep but ur manager/coworkers may not see it that way

I am deeply outraged you have done this. I
Hope you get reported and fired and legal action taken against you. I hope you get sentenced to public execution for this unforgivable crime

it’s a straw 😭 they understaff us and neglect us as employees. girl ur fine

The issue really isn’t the straw. The issue is the swapped straw cup combo you left is now not something we sell and will have to be marked out. It’s a loss of product so it will be viewed as theft.

Probably one of the least bad technical offenses you could commit

I don’t understand why they can’t just match the straws to the cups, why does the pink to blue cup have a green straw? It should be blue/pink/purple, or there was a red that fades to yellow for the early summer collection that had a green straw too. Idk I asked my sm if I could make the straws match the cups and he didn’t mind, if someone does mind you’ll probably just get a slap on the wrist for it.

I….can’t tell if majority of these are jokes. But to me it’s only a straw but managements won’t see it that way. It would be theft.

while yes, it’s a really small thing and tbh literally shouldn’t matter at all, you do have to realize the inventory piece of it and that it is technically theft. so if someone does rat you out, while it would be a really dumb reason, it is policy and there is every reason to hold you accountable

These answers are ridiculous. Enjoy your straw, but unfortunately people have more than that up their butt so it sounds like you’ll get in trouble for it. So dumb.

Nah I did the same thing with the red/orange/yellow cup that had a green straw. Another cup was green/blue with a yellow straw. I swapped the straws cuz it looked better and another partner liked the other one better so she bought the other one 😂 literally who cares? We don’t make enough money for this

It’s a fucking straw. Anyone making a big deal has really nothing better to do.

One cup having a mismatched straw isn’t worth enough money for corporate to care.

Shit, I would’ve done the same thing. Fuck lime green straws.

I find it weird your partners gaf.

I know exactly which cup you're talking about and you had every right to switch it out because it's so ugly with the green straw lmao

Idk why people can’t mind their business, it’s just a straw. It ain’t deep. We literally threw out plastic cups when they were unsold & out of season. Enjoy the straw and don’t worry about what your dumbass coworker think.

i do the same things with candles at ba the and body works if one has a cuter lid than another 👀

Inventory will show that is missing, so the one that was swapped out shouldn't be sold like that.

customers do this so why not

Ur co-workers desperately need to touch some grass. The caffeine is finally getting to them…

Lol I'm surprised you've even paid for it! I've worked for 5 years at Starbucks and no partners have ever paid for merch.

Honestly if a customer did that I wouldn’t notice. We still have candy cane looking straws in our store so I don’t think I matters really.

A customer literally just did this and I think she’s a criminal too 👀

Any coworker talking shit about you cause of this needs to get a life bro

Dude ur fine someone stole the entire poster from our bathroom when we transferred locations

ew i would want nothing to do w the ppl talking shit. why do they care? it doesn’t affect them

Did you buy both cups?

You are a genius and I'm now going to do this. Cause that straw is ugly

Would you be ok with it if a customer did it?

Forgive him father, for he has sinned

Alright so four of your partners will fire blanks, one will have a loaded gun. Gotta make sure no one has a guilty conscience for doing what’s gotta be done.

I thought about doing the same thing😂 that neon straw is so gross

Yes, you're a criminal

Why did I literally have a person ask me if they could do this 30 mins ago 😂. She exchanged the whole cup cause of the color and I’m even more confused how that made it better
