yes, you were misled. Starbucks will not restore your job unless legally threatened to do so — if it’s your best or only option to go back to Starbucks, you’ll likely need to get in contact with a labor lawyer. Your local labor board/NLRB branch will have the resources you need, including options that don’t include paying a bunch of money out of pocket to do this. They can also spring an investigation on your behalf. Even if you move on to another job, it is a good idea to report this so that it doesn’t happen to other baristas later.
