(To give you an idea of how cheap we are: I hired in with 5 years retail management experience and two years of barista, and I made $8.00 as starting pay.) </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=5440#post-59380 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 05:25:56 +0000 Unsweetened 59380@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I work for a different company technically, but... where I am, they raised the starting pay with the increase of minimum wage...</p> <p>...and with our incredibly pathetic yearly raises of no more than 3%, it means that some of my coworkers who have been working there for 2-3 years are making around the same as I am, though I've only been here about a year. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=5440#post-59374 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 04:55:27 +0000 venti h2o 59374@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>but i mean, minimum wage increased everywhere by like 50cents or whatever, so maybe it is normal. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=5440#post-59373 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 04:54:49 +0000 venti h2o 59373@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>i transfered to a store in a different state which had a lower pay rate, and i still kept my pay rate. that's so weird that you make that much more than they do though.. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=5440#post-59370 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 04:11:53 +0000 eyeadapt 59370@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Just for your safety, I do recommend changing your username as it may hint to your location and etc, which we try to hide here, just for anonymity. </p> <p>Anyways, no. If you do have more experience in the field, like had a previous food handling job, or coffee job, you could possibly get paid more. Although that wasn't the case for me. Even with two years experience I got paid the run of the mill starting pay for my area. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=5440#post-59369 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 04:01:46 +0000 NorthCampusBarista 59369@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I've been with the company for about half a year now, its a small store crammed under a stairwell of a bus loop on a college campus.<br /> My store manager is super thrifty and tries to get our store to save moneys in every way she can. I thought my starting pay when I<br /> I got hired was $9.50 an hour. I thought that was pretty decent for a newyork state food service to make lattes and fraps for college<br /> Kids. One night when me and my coworker were chatting during close, the topic of starting salary came up. She was telling me that<br /> She started out at like $7.75.. I didn't wanna say my starting pay after that. She's only been there about one year longer than me, I<br /> Told her how much I made and she was like floored.. apparently I make a lot? Needless to say I felt awkward as hell. So the shift<br /> Comes on the floor and were just about done closing the lobby and they both just start talking about how crazy it is that I make that<br /> Much. So they're like "what did you do for your interview!? Why would (...) pay you that much? That crazy you make more than (...)<br /> Who's been here 2 years". I don't know why that would be the case? If I really do make a super extra nice salary for no reason.. I'm<br /> Just a barista.. I don't know.. maybe they were messing with me? Can anyone relate?</p> <p>(New memberrrr, btw..) </p>
