Holiday Launch? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by burntbeancrock
What day do we start selling holiday drinks? We have shifts arguing over Wednesday or Thursday and i just want to know lol. They both are pulling up stuff on the store ipad to prove their point and our sm is on vacation.

I want to know what “evidence” they have that makes them think they can sell holiday drinks on Wednesday

apparently in the now brewing it says “holiday begins nov. 2nd”? I argued with them but it wouldn’t change their mind lol

Lol I know exactly what you’re talking about, we had a debate about it as well. It’s definitely the 3rd, Now Brewing is a misprint :)

It’s because we are doing the set up on the 2nd

It’s the 3rd, our holiday sleeves literally say don’t open until Nov. 3rd. From what I was told they changed the launch to a Thursday so the hype for launch doesn’t fizzle before the weekend.

lmao we had to start using our holiday sleeves since we are totally out

I didn’t think about it.. but we’ve been out of sleeves for a while and no one has busted out the holiday ones 😂 we’re just free balling it and double cupping the americanos/brewed coffees

Thats a big no no. It says on the box to not use before the 3rd.
burntbeancrock [OP] 8 points 8m ago
yep. was very surprised to see them out
uwumoment 1 points 8m ago
we did too because some shift made the call to open them when we were out but we started double cupping

Your SM should have a SM proxy have someone ask them, if not ask your DM. Arguing about what day holiday launch is is one of the wildest things I’ve heard here. Sucks to be you OP

They can check the calendar on the weekly update for proof of launch date.

It’s the 3rd, the 2nd is the dark set where a few partners work after close to get the store ready for launch day and no customers see the holiday cups or decorations before launch. That could be why it says the 2nd in Now Brewing

My manager literally does it in the middle of the day because her "dedication" as a manager has literally died over the last 3 years
NyanBecca 4 points 8m ago
That’s so upsetting, the dark set is so much fun. I’ve done it every year I’ve worked for Starbucks
verdeuce 5 points 8m ago
The expectation for managers is ridiculous. A lot of districts have been lenient with dark sets being done before close because they also expect SMs to be on the floor for holiday launch. A 4 hour turn around is ridiculous

Launch days are always Thursday’s unless there’s a special exception. I’ve never seen holiday not be a thursday
verdeuce 1 points 8m ago
Holiday launch is the only one that’s on Thursdays. Every other one is on Tuesday

It's the 3rd, it's on the cup boxes to not display until then.

Thursday November 3rd is what I was told during training, the holiday meeting, and by everyone and everything in my store. I have no clue where they’re getting Wednesday unless they’re getting the days mixed up which funnily enough happens to me all the time now.
