The 30 minute rule screws closers over (self.starbucksbaristas)

submitted by HiiAlberta

I am a mid or closer, it kinda blows not being able to get coffee in the morning for free when I work later. I dont want to drink a latte at 4 tho

I agree, last year there was a covid rule where you could get 1 free drink and 1 free food on days you didn’t work! It was the best!!

monzoink 36 points 11m ago

That was one of the most unique and best work benefit ever

Aliciarox11189 -16 points 11m ago

You still can get 7x food a week doesn't matter what day you choose

astivana 21 points 11m ago

It does have to be marked out when you’re working.

Inside_Drink_3968 6 points 11m ago

I realize that. I just mean when I take my refrigerated food home and then reheat it, it’s not as good as a Starbucks oven

Inside_Drink_3968 7 points 11m ago

I know, but heating my sandwiches up in the microwave doesn’t hit as good as if I went to my store

I mean, I don’t think many partners would mind warming them up in the store if you bring them back in the wrapper.

interstatelovesong17 2 points 11m ago

ur not allowed to bring outside food inside the bar/warming area tho

If your store is cool, they should give it to you anyway

Zealousideal-Star448 21 points 11m ago

I think it should be be free all day if you work that day.

I'm at a grocery store kiosk, we get nothing free and only make minimum wage 🤧

bottlehalffull 14 points 11m ago

Go to a corporate store.

Canadiansbux -3 points 11m ago

I heard they won't hire you if you are not from a corporate store. Plus no drive thru, no mobile orders and I never have to clean a bathroom lol

bottlehalffull 10 points 11m ago

That's certainly not true, half of my baristas came from Albertsons or Target. You might have to work a bit harder but the benefits make it worth it.

jazzysoranio 2 points 11m ago

I’ve worked with lots of baristas that came to our corporate store from licensed kiosks.

insertusernameplease 3 points 11m ago

Not true at all, I worked at a Kroger Starbucks for a year in 2011 and I just started at a corporate store and my manager said my 1 year of experience there was one of the reasons why I was hired. You’re working with the current knowledge of drinks and standards, they’ll love that.

Also not worrying about money, if there's an issue it goes straight to the bookkeeper.

urlessies 2 points 11m ago

one of my coworkers came from a barnes and noble starbucks

i thought the 30 minute rule was only about AFTER your shift not before

lewabwee 10 points 11m ago

It is before and after. Some people get there early and get a drink before going on the floor but the 30 minute rule is to cap how early that can happen. Same with after.

starboienby 6 points 11m ago

we just mark out our drinks at close and then make it before we leave, but our sl are super cool so i’m not sure what it’s like at other stores

lily-amber 4 points 11m ago

At my store I’ll just mark it out for partners. Idc if you work that day or even if you don’t even work at my store. It’s ridiculous that we could in fact give partners free drinks even on days they don’t work, but now for some reason we can’t.

HiiAlberta [OP] 2 points 11m ago

I mean same but obviously if an asm or shift would not approve is on shift I would not

jazzysoranio 3 points 11m ago

Do you go to your own store the mornings before you close?

I’m just asking because if I’m closing that day you would never see me visiting earlier in the day just to have to come all the way back later.

greenChainsaws 2 points 11m ago

maybe our store is just weird but literally all of us can have a couple of shots on close and still be able to sleep

Radioaactive 1 points 11m ago

That's just because this job is exhausting lol

just_pig3on 1 points 11m ago

What I like to do when I close is make like a morning espresso drink but put no ice in it. Then I can add ice at home when I want to drink it the next day!

happybowlita83 1 points 11m ago

The 30 min policy screws everyone over... openers can't get anything before their shift at 4am and technically have to wait until their break to get any sort of free coffee or drink in general. A

some people want a latte. morning people can have that before and after their shifts without worrying about what time it is.

EliMinivan 1 points 11m ago

At least you get something free. I work at a licensed store, we get nothing free. Don't even get partner numbers, just a 5 percent discount. Dosent even usually cover our 25¢ county cup fee
