Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Forced to go to Another Store (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by InternationalFan3879
So I am training today and the store next to us needed baristas and my supervisor was asking only the baristas, not supervisors, who wanted to go over and help the B store. I use to volunteer to help the B store but last time, this homeless dude walked into our bar area where we made drinks and verbally assaulted us, was getting violet and it almost became physical and I was shaking after that experience(my gm knows this). I never went to B store ever again. Also everyone at my store doesn’t like B store because they have had bad experiences as well. Well I said no and I’m also training and my gm decided to make us both go. I told her no because I don’t feel safe at that store and she was beyond annoyed and only sent my trainee, which I was shocked because I’m training her. She didn’t try to force the other baristas to go, only me and my trainee. Can GMs force us to go to other stores even if we fear for our safety? Thank you !

you can be asked to work at another location in your district, in some cases you may even get scheduled at a store other than your home store say if your store is temporarily closed, etc. however, if you are uncomfortable working at a specific location you can communicate that to management and you *should not* receive push back. it is literally in the handbook that you can deny doing anything that makes you uncomfortable. they cannot force you to work at a store other than your home store, and I’m glad that you stood up for yourself. I’m sorry you were met with a less than gracious response.

technically you’re employed at the district and have a home store, but they can have you work at other stores in the district if they need help. if it’s against your will they have to pay you mileage.

Ok fair. Clearly I didn't know that. I don't work for starbs anymore. It's been a couple years
