is…is it rlly that bad?
BatWeary 22 points 7m ago
yes.
xbarbiedarbie 13 points 7m ago
Honestly, no. It'll be busy early, but then the store will run out and it'll slow down. Some customers might get mad and testy that they missed the free cup, but thats just how things go.
peepeepoopaccount [OP] 11 points 7m ago
I haven’t worked one yet (since I started last summer) but I don’t want to know…. Our regular mornings are bad enough

I’m an SM and scheduled myself off for an appointment completely not paying attention to what day it was and now I feel really bad because I won’t be there to help the team

SydShark 3 points 7m ago
Todays a sad day 2 stores near us are closed protesting so we have picked up extra extra traffic. 6k by 9:30 🫠

National-Vehicle1063 3 points 7m ago
The day that makes or breaks the new baristas
VentingVirgo 3 points 7m ago
I wasn’t scheduled and I’m thrilled about it honestly. ☺️
sanjiless 2 points 7m ago
is it bad all day? i come in at 12pm and this is my first red cup day since i’ve only been here for 4-5 months soo these posts r a little scary 😀
mypoopoosmelly69 2 points 7m ago
this is my first red cup day nd im scheduled tmrw, what is there to expect?
Numerous-Persimmon50 2 points 7m ago
Replying cause I need to know this too
mypoopoosmelly69 1 points 7m ago
no one else replied to me but we sold out of red cups by 10am 😑😑 (im an opener so i didnt get to see the rest of the day..) and honestly i work in a pretty small store so it wasn’t even that crazy, our peak was like 3 50’s and customers were all super nice about the cups! i wouldnt mind working again next year tbh but i doubt ill stay w the company for that long
nightimevil 2 points 7m ago
I accidentally picked up a 7 hour shift on that day, but I'm excited nonetheless. Gonna get to work with two of my favorite shifts at least!
Creative-Clothes-520 2 points 7m ago

peepeepoopaccount [OP] 2 points 7m ago

Sweeter0da 1 points 7m ago
I’m sincerely jealous
LawfulnessNo5443 1 points 7m ago
In my three years at Starbucks I've never worked a launch day or a red cup. I'm just weirdly lucky
Key-Response5834 1 points 7m ago
I picked up a shift it's my first year. Can't wait.
Necessary_Low939 1 points 7m ago
I wish someone take my shift tomorrow
Potential_External67 1 points 7m ago
I've been for the last 3 days, and guess who still isn't gonna be feeling good enough to work tomorrow?! 🤷‍♀️
hatman_v4 1 points 7m ago
I'm closing with a new shift who doesn't know wtf he's doing and the other closer called out. Yeah it's gonna be hell. Oh and I'm scheduled for 8 and 1/2 hours. And I have a second job so after I close tonight I have to wake up at 5 am tomorrow to open at my other job before my red cup day shift.
CurrentConflict9264 1 points 7m ago
i have been on shift for a 911 clinical for 16 hours and have class from 9-430 tomorrow… i work 4am-8am
calimac90 1 points 7m ago
Lots of I’m sorry we have given out all of our red cups. We were only sent a finite amount unfortunately, I hope you have a great rest of your day :)


We didn’t get thousands of cups for each store. My store didn’t get 600 of what it said we did. Ya’ll do what you can and may the siren be with you.
