We either Mark it out or Sample it. If the store manager is there. We Sample out a pastry and pick on the samples. My DM Told me that if it's not donated, then we have to throw it out (sandwiches). So screw it...I just eat it. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-21185 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:33:35 +0000 DARKROAST 21185@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Guess it just depends on where you're at and with whom you work. Technically, if you eat a sellable product, it can be looslsly construed as stealing. Believe me, I've seen someone get axed for marking out a turkey pesto sandwich once. Crucial. I would markout pastry "samples" for myself and my partners, but it was under explicit orders to keep it under wraps.if we're going to share in this liberty, let's not hang ourselves in the process!<br /> As for the gobbledy-**** markout pastries in the bin, WTF cares? The guy who used to pick up ours for the Hungry Children Foundation would consistently be observed eating out of the bin--right there in the friggin' parking lot for all to see!<br /> All in all, I think Sbux throws enough money down the toilet as it is, without fairly recompensing its partners. Eating the markouts is a fringe benefit for the baristas/indentured servants. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-21184 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:52:25 +0000 Nikki_Nebula 21184@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Nobody pays for anything at my store. I go in on my day off and get drinks and my SM just marks them out, we can eat anything we want that is not RTD. It has always been that way at my store. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-20809 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:09:02 +0000 becca001 20809@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I'm feeding my family with that crap. What kind of assh*les would give 5 day old pastries that are barely wrapped in saran wrap to the poor? Starbucks! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-20750 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:58:54 +0000 x.yoru 20750@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I always sampled food because I didn't want to pay for a lunch elsewhere.<br /> Tastes like plastic anyway, so I'm glad I didn't pay for it.</p> <p>My store didn't have problems with sampling, but they had problems with marking out food and eating it. Depended on the shifts though, most were alright because they didn't want to waste food. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-20744 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:05:34 +0000 toffeecoffee 20744@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I dont think it's that big of a deal either because most of the time theydont even donate them till 3-4 days later and they're allold and crusty. I wouldn't feed that garvbage to a raccoon </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-20743 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:47:05 +0000 roygbiv 20743@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Don't be a rat. Your coworkers are most likely overworked and underpaid, you probably are too. They're just doing what they can to level out the wealth discrepancy. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-20725 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:47:56 +0000 steam_machine 20725@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>no one at my store really cares, if you want something just sample it out or mark it out as expired, although many of us don't even enjoy the pastries. after i found out how unhealthy some of things are i stopped eating them, plus our pastries come to us frozen so they're not really 'fresh' </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-20723 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:31:05 +0000 12345678 20723@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>i never do it really because all of our pastries are pretty much disgusting, nothing good like we used to have. but if they are already marked out/expired i don't see what the big deal is. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19782 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 19:43:23 +0000 cookiemonster 19782@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>SB is BS really! They can do anything they want to you at anytime! You can sign their stupid form ( the yellow one that says you are a bad barista, or you can refuse) I have refused to sign it when I thought that the charges were wrong. And, as it turn's out they were. There are so many people ready to stab you in the back at this company. If you are thinking about getting a really good job at Starbucks, think again. This place sucks. All you have to do is, accidentally hurt someones feelings! What I mean is that all you have to do is catch someone on a bad day and if they complain about you, corrective action can be taken. So, get a job shoveling **** before you work at Starbucks. I wonder who they pay to put them on the list as one of the best places to work. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;If you happen to be a minority, you are GOLD. You almost can't do anything wrong. They are afraid to fire abusive minorities! So serious! Be very careful if you want to work for them. They are a***oles! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19781 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 18:41:10 +0000 upandatum 19781@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>You can be fired at any time. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19779 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 12:25:27 +0000 pap3rf1sh 19779@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>well that's what I've heard. my manager has never fired ANYONE actually. maybe my store is a little more laid back. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19748 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:19:03 +0000 starbucksslave 19748@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <br /> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19743 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 04:33:48 +0000 grandma 19743@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Don't be fooled into thinking that you have to be written up 3 times to be terminated. That is a Sbux policy(one they only follow to keep you in line not if they want to get rid of you) not the law. They can let you go any time they want to if you are in an at will state such as Cali. How many of you were let go without having 3 writeups first. I was let go on my first </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19707 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:48:55 +0000 musis.amica 19707@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>it's never been an issue at my store. when SM is there of course nothing's tried, but otherwise someone having a sandwich on a 30 is nothing. it's never been abused to my knowledge either. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19699 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 10:11:45 +0000 pap3rf1sh 19699@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I always close so I wait till the end of the day to mark out food. however, if it's a breakfast pastry you're supposed to get it out of the case before 1 so if your break is in the afternoon then no one's gonna give a crap if you mark out a donut.</p> <p>also, about being terminated for stealing food, that's BS they're not gonna just fire you on the spot you need to get written up for something 3 times before they fire you. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19681 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 13:28:33 +0000 lionheart 19681@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I would never pay for anything at the buck. Most of the time I don't want anything from there anyway. Most of that stuff is disgusting. I usually will opt for a quick oatmeal. That can't be too bad for you...right. (and no I am not loading with a bunch of crap) :) No one at my store really abuses the food or taking things, so i guess that is why it is not that big a deal. No one really wants the stuff. If you really want something, just sample it out and cut it into some pieces and offer to other partners working, you can say you want to see how it pairs with "fill in coffee/drink here." </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19669 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 05:53:21 +0000 amtrak 19669@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>lol i never pay for those stupid pastries. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19638 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 04:39:00 +0000 decaff4u 19638@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I had a shift or two who would do that every so often. I just went hungry until the end of the night and then ate the stuff, but as you can see, no one would know...You mark it out and it's as if it sat there all day and didn't sell. Theft? Yes.<br /> Taking from the donation bin...lesser offense (donate it to starving/sleep-deprived baristas) lol </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19634 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:10:47 +0000 grandma 19634@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Taking anything that is still available for purchase(ie not marked out as expired) is stealing and yes is grounds for termination. Often if partners werehungry and had no money especially at the end of the day mgrs will allow them to mark them out as sampled( that uses the markout in a more profitable way) but don't try it without permission if your mgr. fires partners for theft. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=1562#post-19618 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:18:33 +0000 blackwhitegrass 19618@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Okay I noticed that other Baristas are taking Pastries from the donation bins and They are also marking out sandwiches on their break 3-4 hours before the store closes. Are these actions grounds for being fired. I pay for my pastries because I feel like if I did this it is stealing, even if the pastries are marked out. I wouldn't mind if I saw the Baristas and SS taking Sandwiches, salads, etc.. at the end of the night when they are expired and after they are marked out but isn't it stealing if they do it even before the store closes. I'm not going to tell the Manager because she would probably fire them. Has anyone else witnessed this?? </p>
