Is Christmas still optional?(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Jazzyhandz12
I’m a 3 year partner and have never worried about being scheduled on Christmas as it’s always been optional at my store. The SM has been approaching baristas who tried taking time off on Christmas Day since there wasn’t a holiday sign up list this year telling us we have to work. Has the policy on Christmas being optional changed? I’ve never worked Christmas as it was never required and I will have to rearrange family plans for that day if this is true. Are other stores not doing holiday sign up this year either? I’m sorry if this has already been asked!

I think some managers did the sign up as a courtesy and it’s not required to do. I’m not sure tho, our store had one

Is your store optional on Christmas?

Well we had a sign up sheet. I’d imagine if it didn’t get filled they’d just schedule, but idk cuz it did get filled

Christmas is a volunteer holiday -- the only volunteer holiday at sbux -- it's in the Partner Guide, you should talk to your SM about it (I would literally pull up Partner Guide) and if they don't help, go to the DM or just PRSC. They cannot require you to work that day!

My store had a sheet but if enough people didn’t sign we wouldn’t open. This year enough did so we’ll be open limited hours
