Thinking about putting the green apron back on (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Spare-Ad-8722
I'm thinking about being a Starbucks barista again but I'm sooooo out of the loop. The main reason I left was a SEVERE lack of hours. If that is still an issue, does anyone know when or if it won't be any time soon?

It’s even worse now

It depends on the store.
If you have a high volume with tons of partners, you may get lower hours. I currently work at a cafe and get between 38 and 40 a week and have a set availability of openings. If I were at a Dt Store I might have 30, but with a vast range of shifts.

You basically have to have fully open availability to even have a chance of getting the hours you want/need, and even then it’s not a guarantee. Most people are still hurting for more hours.

But for those of us who aren't teenagers who don't need to pay rent, then that's a problem

Yep. Not a great time at the ‘bux for people who need to pay the rent. We’re getting raises but no hours so…

How do they expect to stay in business in the long run if lack of hours makes people leave??? Like, I really really don't get it. Cuz you can't run a store on teens alone

This is exactly why people are unionizing. It’s ridiculous. Older partners (both in age and in time at Starbucks) really aren’t being taken care of. In the past couple years I’ve seen so many seasoned partners who /loved/ their jobs leave the company because it’s just not sustainable for them anymore.

Well now it's the minimum to schedule people 12 hours a week with 18 hours of availability.

Lol I wouldn’t recommend you come back. It’s a dumpster fire.

That's what I was afraid of

This is still the issue for most stores
