Potentially speak to that store's SM about the debacle as well- they might be able to back you up, but technically this is all something that needs to be handled by your DM (who apparently isn't handling it) and the BEC (who need to mobilize <em>now</em>). I do hope you called them about THIS. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=5863&page=3#post-135215 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:33:29 +0000 Señor Cardgage 135215@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I do hope that's not the way you speak your in-store partners, saultsbux, especially considering that you're trying to promote.</p> <p>Personally, it doesn't bother <em>me</em> when customers don't want foam. They're missing out. I've also successfully converted many a no-foamer by oh, I dunno, giving them properly steamed milk.</p> <p>I find that a fair amount of the time, their aversion to it is because Starbucks doesn't invest a single crap in training- hence, they aren't getting properly aerated milk. If the milk isn't properly steamed, the foam isn't going to taste sweet and meringuey, it's going to be a frothy, bubbly, soapy mess like a kid took a silly straw and blew the hell out of it. Another common occurrence is that sometimes, there's too much foam, and again not very good foam- so if they ask for no foam, it's because every time they go to the Bux, the milk still isn't properly steamed and they get a tall's worth of milk in a grande cup with the rest soapyass foam. The standard is the last 1/4th inch of the cup, up to the rim, is foam.</p> <p>Unfortunately, a lot of the time it's less about the foam itself and more because the customer is a troglodyte. Or potentially having some control issues. I had a dude once who would throw fits about any speck of foam and lay into whoever made his drink, even if there wasn't any foam on it and it was the not-latte he wanted. At first I thought he was a pissant, and then one day he came in with his wife, and I got to see why he acted the way he did- his hogbeast bride belittled and emasculated him every second they were in the store together.</p> <p>Still not an excuse to be a goon, however, to the person making minimum wage behind the counter. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=33409#post-135214 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:16:43 +0000 SoySkinny 135214@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>The BEC got my case a few months go and I have been calling them every time there has been a problem with the SM (I don't use names when putting the report through to protect the anonymity of my co-workers unless they have said I have permission to). I know 2 people have requested store transfers because of the SM and one allowed me to use their name while the other wished to remain anonymous but said I could tell the BEC worker the reason as to why they are leaving without giving their name. I reported to them the day my shift gave her 2 weeks notice (she's worked for the company just as long as the SM) that she was leaving because she did not want to be yelled at during opens and be put down all the time. She told me her partner number to give to them as well for the report. It's just so frustrating because I feel I was wrongfully terminated and picked out specifically to find every mis-step I might have taken. I know I have had a written action before (even though I called in and said I would be a few minutes late) because my car had broken down but, that's about it. I recall another time a partner did not have a ride and the SM went and picked them up and they received no verbal or written action. I requested my time stamps and told them to please look at other openers time stamps of the days I opened with them. </p> <p>I am going to remain in constant contact with the other partners who have reported the SM and hope there will be some sort of action taken by the company. I'm going to go to the store I was trying to transfer to and see what they can do. -Fingers Crossed- </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=5863&page=3#post-135213 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:12:28 +0000 saultsbux 135213@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>What blows me away is how incapable you all seem of understanding the simple fact that some people don't like the same **** as you!

I recommend first going to your DM, who is your skip-level manager, with your concerns. If they don't intervene and force a solution, then go straight to the BEC.</p> <p>Make sure you've documented everything you can.</p> <p>@saultsbux what I find worse than the silly stuff kids do is management abusing their 'power' and turning the workplace into a warzone among other heinous acts. However, if you dislike how your coworkers are acting, correct it and lead by example. Easier said than done, yeah. Instill some pride in them, which is also easier said than done.</p> <p>End of the day however, it's increasingly difficult to take pride in one's job here at good ole Starbucks when they pay us such garbage wages for very taxing, draining, stressful work. Especially when Uncle Howie just gave himself an 80% increase to his income and I can't afford to put gas in my car. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=33409#post-135210 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:58:39 +0000 Señor Cardgage 135210@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>This to me seems clearly a case of retaliation. Contact your caseworker immediately.</p> <p>If you filed with the BEC, they should be running an ongoing investigation into your SM's shenanigans- this right here should be the big **** red flag that they're looking for. If you have a prior history of attendance issues and there were scaling correctives, your case will be weaker, but if this was as out of the blue as you make it seem (technically, you aren't supposed to know if anyone else has had coaching conversations about attendance and time clock management) and there were no scaling corrective actions (verbal, written, final, or a PIP/partner improvement plan), then your SM should be in some hot water for this.</p> <p>If you're only in touch with Partner Resources, get the BEC involved now. <em>Now.</em> </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=33366#post-135209 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:17:59 +0000 hustlerose 135209@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>What's worse is when people who have no idea what they're ordering, and they manage to say difference sizes in the same order. </p> <p>Guy: I know EXACTLY what I want.. hmm... let me see...

All of you need to keep a diary with dates, times, names, and details of incidents. If you have co-workers in the same predicament then have them initial or sing the pages which they witnessed ("Incident witnessed by...."). You never know when things will come to a head such as this and those sorts of details will be invaluable.

From the get go, I knew this was going to be a bumpy ride. She was rude before (telling another employee who transferred in that no one there liked them) but, after her new rise to power she turned into a "cool-kids" bully. If you weren't in her circle you were screwed.</p> <p>It got so bad for one of our shifts that she filed a complaint with corporate after our trying to get in touch for our DM for 2 month and unable to formally file a complaint with them. Shortly after, my SM took me to my breaking point and yelled at me in front of a full lobby of people that I wasn't doing my job and later in the back telling me to "get my **** together because I don't have time to babysit all of you and worry about your ****". That was a month ago. A few other partners have said they feel the negative cloud every time she is around. When she's really mad (which is relative because she's mad all the time) she goes to the back and throws things around, she slams refrigerator and cabinet doors (in the lobby and in the back). </p> <p>I've had someone working on my case and told them I don't feel comfortable working and filed for a store transfer. I dropped off paperwork at the store I planned on transferring to and filled out one for my store, gave it to the SM and a note saying she'd keep me updated on the process (which I kept). The other store called me back 3 weeks later and asked if I still wanted to transfer because the DM over there hasn't received anything. I spoke with my SM about it and she said I never filed a transfer form. </p> <p>A week ago, a partner told me she's been plotting to get rid of 4 people (myself, a shift that filed against her too, and 2 others). I updated my case worker with this info in a voice mail.</p> <p>Yesterday, my SM "terminated" me because I have had too many "late" clock ins. Now, I'm an opener and usually by the time the shift gets there it's a minute before we need to clock in. I usually always clock in with a two or three minutes my scheduled time. What I don't understand is how come all the other partners who clock in slightly before me and after don't get these kinds of talks. </p> <p>I requested an exit interview and am going to call my case worker today as I really love the company and want to continue to work for Starbucks but, I can't when I honestly feel like I'm in high school and want to call in sick from work because I'm stressed and don't want to run into the bully today. </p> <p>Anyways, after my long rant/story I want to know if you guys think I will be on the rehire list or unable to rehire. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=33396#post-135200 Fri, 24 May 2013 08:32:49 +0000 Malushka 135200@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>The new person joined our store about 3 months ago... </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=33396#post-135198 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:19:44 +0000 saultsbux 135198@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Being the oldest employee at a SBUX can be quite tough.
