Could probably sign up for the starbucks funds? I mean it happened to you while working
TheGreekGazelle [OP] 16 points 10m ago
currently waiting to see if insurance covers it but ill check it out if not. the other thing is that it happened in a plaza and when i went to report it they said it would be more difficult to get any assistance because of it being a general plaza too. wack but 😭😂

Mr_SCPF 2 points 10m ago
The CUP fund. Partners in financial hardship can apply and get some financial assistance.

I’m so sorry to hear this. This happened to a partner at my store too. I think they went through their insurance but I feel like the property manager or Starbucks should help out with the deductible.
TheGreekGazelle [OP] 3 points 10m ago
would be nice if the property manager was a caring individual looool. my dads blaming me for having it stolen but like theres no way to prevent that

People customize shields to protect it, but unless you know how to weld, you’re SOL

Get a flowmaster exhaust, I see this as an opportunity to upgrade your exhaust

straight pipe that bitch for $100 until you can afford a new converter... unless you've a newer car lol

Better yet just go straight headers

Mine was stolen last year. Apparently I drive a model car that makes it pretty easy. Luckily insurance covered it and then I paid a muffler place to weld some rebar around the effer. But it was so upsetting and such a hassle, I’m sorry friend.

Im sure youve already done it, but call the cops and see if it happened in a part of the lot that was on camera.

This didn’t happen to me at work but mine got stolen while parked in the street, in front of a ring doorbell camera and it picked up nothing! I was so mad, I don’t think insurance will cover it, I had my dad Band-Aid it for a while, but it eventually rotted off because it was flimsy. If you have a welder if your life you could straight pipe it but it will still be loud af. I would try the cup fund tho
TheGreekGazelle [OP] 2 points 10m ago
we ended up getting a $500 deductible or smthn, but he was considering just straight pipe welding the mf 😂

If you’re somewhere that doesn’t inspect/wouldn’t fail inspection for that, do it! I ended up getting a new car all together, the one this happened to was on her death bed anyways, but I would have just straight piped in if inspection wasn’t a problem
TheGreekGazelle [OP] 1 points 10m ago
yeahhh we were thinkin about that as to who to take it to for inspection if that route is chosen but im planning on moving out of state soon so prolly wouldnt last long loool
