Seems like a pretty worthwhile fix for sbux to just make it so you can’t have more than one mark out a week; also to cap/time limit partner beverages *on the system*. It’s scary being alone when doing the whole “making a moment right” thing since I’ve pushed drinks through as free for people who needed it done. It doesn’t even ask me for a reason why… how do I know that sbux would listen to me if they came to me about it? My DM isn’t there when I have paid for the drinks of paramedics passing through since I’m not allowed to give them for free, or for my fellow partners who are not working because of personal stuff. The uppers never seem to be around when you do follow the rules, only when it looks like you’re not. Hell if I’m gonna be moaned at by Carol because her app isn’t letting her have her free bday drink - I don’t get paid enough for that 🙃

People at a store in my district got fired for the same thing. Unfortunately you don’t get a warning for theft and abuse of mark outs is theft.
