1) You can, you just need to pick up shifts at other locations in your district. (You'll be considered a "borrowed partner" on their schedule).

2) Cash tips are divided by how many hours are in the week and then that rate is multiplied by however many hours you worked. It's a pretty fair system.

3) I would say it depends on your manager. You just have to call the store you want to transfer to and see if they have room for you (this applies to any corporate store in U.S. I'm pretty sure; I've met people that have transferred from Hawaii and Louisiana to my Arizona store). The two managers then have to do all the paperwork for your transfer.

4) This is pretty much store-dependent. Different stores will schedule differently especially depending on labor laws in your state (like how many hours it takes to get a lunch etc.)

If you want to continue being a shift leader/supervisor, the starting rate is $19.05 (could be higher depending on your location, but 19.05 is the baseline).

1) you can always pick up shifts at other locations, you just have to make sure you don’t get 40hrs or more otherwise you’ll get a stern talking to. All you have to do is either call other stores, or better yet go into those locations and let them know the days you’re free to work shifts.

2) cash tips are pooled together for the entire week, and divvied up based on hours worked.

3) transferring stores is relatively easy, but you have to be in your current role for at least six months. Of course, special circumstances can override that rule like if you’re moving a considerable distance from your current home.

4) the scheduling is almost completely random. You’ll set your hours of availability, and your shifts will fall within those time frames. Keep in mind the more open your availability, the more likely you get scheduled more hours/wk.

The only one that get guarantee hours is SM. Barista/SSV is required to work minimum 12 hours a week with 18 hours availability. Do not believe when they tell you they will give 20 hours. They might give you that for first few weeks or even a month but eventually it will drop.

I know ppl have already answered while my slow ass typed this up but I’m posting it anyways 🙃

1.) yes you can work at other stores in the district. You can even see shifts offered up from partners at other stores on the hours app (by request i think?).

2.) cash tips are calculated by total number of hours worked of all partners at the location by total number of cash tips for a 7 day period. From what I’ve seen on here it varies greatly. My store gets $1.20/hr on the low end which is pretty good for SBUX and it’s generally higher than that. I can bank on about $30/ week I’m tips and I’m barely breaking 20hrs.

3.) although i have never transferred it seems pretty easy. Do your job well, follow the rules (no write ups within 6mo period) and transferring should be a breeze.

4.) it may be different for every store, but from what I’ve seen in my district it’s a bit of a mix. There’s morning, mid and night task wise but people come in and will work part of the morning and mid, just morning, just night, part mid part night etc. Shit I have worked morning mid and night when i pulled a 14hr shift.

One of my fav things I’ve ever heard another partner say is this: it’s a job and ur there to work, if you gotta pretend ur playing barista simulator somethings, then do it. The drama is sometimes (mostly) trivial whether it’s a customer or another partner it doesn’t matter. Despite the stress that comes w/ customer service it is the funnest job I’ve ever had bc of the ppl i work w :)) good luck with whatever you choose!!

Short answer: no

Others have answered your questions, I just wanted to put in my 2c. I was promised 35+ hours when I was hired last year but only get 30, and this month have averaged 20. As far as I’m aware, this is common. Also, the tip rate at my location is usually $1/hr. So if I work 20 hours, I’m getting $20 cash that week.
