So I got hired at my Starbucks location on May 10th. When I was hired my store manager said that the current pay was 12, but that I was going to get a raise to 15 at the end of summer. This comment was want made me choose the job over another that I applied for, and got offered the position, which paid 13.50/hr plus tip. Today, I was in the back on my break and I read a paper saying the raise applies to partners who where hired before May 2, 2022. Is this really true? It was really frustrating to read as 1. my manager explicitly told me I was gonna get the raise when I was doing my coffee tasting and 2. I only missed the date by 8 days. I’ve worked really hard in the time I have been here and feel like i deserve the raise, especially with the fact I was never trained on anything. (I got trained at a different store in my district for two days as CS and was then moved to my actual store. I literally didn’t even know how to work the register when I started there and have had to figure out everything essential on my own.)
