It seems a bit odd there’s not a little more communication about end of shifts from your SSV’s themselves. At each of the stores I’ve worked at the SSV will usually touch base with each barista about 5 or so minutes before they’re off, and say something along the lines of “hey you’re off in 5, before you go can you please make sure the bathrooms have toilet paper and are swept?” And then 5 minutes later the barista will usually mention to the SSV “hey the bathrooms look good! Am I good to go?” And all is well :)

you have to make sure your position is covered for when you leave. checking in with the ssv gives them the chance to figure out the game plan for when you’re gone.

its common courtesy at all jobs to check in with ur supervisor to make sure youre good to go and just let them know ur done. people can lose track of time and you disappearing off the floor with no one to cover your position is not a good look. you dont have to stay late but at least respect ur coworkers

Tbh it’s like any other job. You have to make sure someone is there to take your position otherwise it’s a disaster. Supervisors have to plan and adjust people. Also see who’s coming in and stuff like that. Organized supervisors will usually check in with you 5 minutes before you leave.

you can just leave, don’t let them think you owe them staying past your scheduled time. however, it’s polite to say, it’s 7 i’m leaving. as they will need to have someone take over your position. in an ideal situation the shift will be prepared and know when you’re leaving and and tell someone to take over for you and send you home, but sometimes they forget .

Speaking as an SSV, just because you’ve reached your scheduled end time it doesn’t mean you can just clock out. You have to check in and make sure you’re good to go before clocking out. What I used to do as a barista( because I hated staying later than my scheduled time) was letting the shift know that my shift was ending soon like 15 mins before and ask what they wanted me to do before I left. This gave them a heads up and also made sure that they didn’t have me do a task at the last minute that took me past my end time.

No, you don't need to ask permission. As a courtesy, I will ask 5 minutes prior if there is anything they need me to do before I leave.

If I don't say anything, I often leave late or I get told to run trash 1 minute before my end time.

The shifts who do that aren't good at time management. You are never obligated to stay past your work time. They should be *asking* you if it's okay to do a task if it will go over your scheduled out time.

To all the shifts in here saying you need to make sure there is someone else to cover before you leave: no, we don't. If someone is two hours late, I am not obligated to stay two hours until somebody shows up.

Nobody is obligated to stay past their scheduled time and there are labor laws about this. Each state will have their own.

If you're a closer they might want to just do a walk thru but if you aren't closing and it's not policy then you shouldn't have to check..
