it’s not usually a big deal! whenever i stop by my store, they give me a mark out. it’s usually a sign of good faith lmao

You won’t get in trouble, as you weren’t the one ringing it up. They could, though.

I would say something to your sm cause that would happen to me when I would stop at the other store in my district they would always mark out my drink instead of discounting, and I told her cause I didn’t feel comfortable saying anything. It’s better to tell than not say anything cause they do look at our markouts

Lmao unless the SM is a raging bitch I wouldn’t worry about it

Nah, if your SM says anything you can explain what happened and let them know it won’t happen again. It’s usually just newer baristas. It’s better to let one of their fellow partners coach them instead of a partner from another store. If you go again, I would specifically say “I have my partner numbers for my discount.” That helps me.

I do this sometimes just to be nice and cause I know the risk is very minimal. I just do it for partners that work at my store unless I’m feeling super nice that day. If I had a manager who was more strict then I wouldn’t do it. I’d be annoyed if someone (the person I’m giving the free drink to) called me out on it cause like no shit I know what I’m doing technically isn’t allowed but I can make that choice for myself.

Only for beverages though I don’t do it for food cause I have no idea whether they were saving there mark outs for breaks or not.

Partners already get free drinks on the job if I give one free drink out to a partner on there day off it makes no difference for starbucks. We already give out tons of free drinks (usually for customers who don’t deserve it, to make the “moment right” even when sometimes these customers are taking advantage, know what they are doing and scamming us) of course sometimes it’s a genuine mistake (I forgot to say ice!) and I as the employee forgot to ask if they wanted it hot or iced.

Take the free stuff and stfu honestly. You’re complaining about free stuff???

you would actually be the one that got in trouble if anything. because its your responsibility to keep track of your markouts and making sure they’re within the 30 minutes before/after your shifts. absolutely ask them to void the transaction and do partner discount.
