Staffing issues?? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Fresh-Maintenance-74
Since the holiday launch my store has just been non-stop busy 24/7, no joke we will have people lining outside the door and drive thru at 4 in the morning! And being one of the busiest stores in northern california you would think that we would have a steady amount of people scheduled on the floor to keep everything under control and in working order, but we don’t . Everyday i walk into work dreading going onto the floor knowing that there will just be a non-stop flow of customers. During our peak the other day(11/12) veterans day of all days the stickers would just not stop printing. We were completely understaffed, the cafe was at capacity, mobiles were going off, and to top it all off there was a parade in my town that day. Knowing there was a parade, why didn’t they schedule at least 2-3 more people during our peak?? Everyone on the floor was struggling to keep up with the influx of customers and there was no one available for support it was that busy. It’s super unfair to the baristas on the floor working their butts off drowning in stickers, and burning themselves out, just because the higher ups don’t wanna have a couple more people on the floor??

Northern CA partner as well. Worked 12:30-9 on Veterans Day and were a DT, cafe and delivery store. I have a feeling we may be working in the same town on opposite sides lol
