So my boyfriend and I work together, we are both Baristas. We have kept everything on the down low and so upper management doesn't know. He recently found out he is being promoted as a shift at a different store. At first we were pretty excited cause we weren't going to hide it anymore and be able to take vacations together. But someone told me that we still aren't allowed to date? I know if he was a shift at the store I was working at thats a no no but he is at a different store now? Is anyone familiar with Starbucks dating? Thanks!
Barista and Shift?

as long as you are in different stores they can't do ****.

I still wouldn't say much until he's a shift. Make it sound like you started dating AFTER he left the store, like you can say you liked eachother, but you didn't want to get in trouble, so you waited, and now you're dating and it's great. Or, don't say anything at all. It really depends on your manager (and his new one). One shift and one barista were roomies at my old store, and everyone knew but the manager and ASM because they were smart about it.

Still keep it on the DL, though. The mgmt might give you both a hard time if they knew that you two were still involved.

Yeah defiantly keeping it on the DL still only a few people know about it but swore they wouldn't tell my ASM SM or DM and they have kept their word. I just was wondering if we were able to be a little more open about it once he moved over and settled in. I also had the idea of making it look like we just started dating. THANKS! :D

I have a shift supervisor @ my store that is married to a barista from another store, and no one says anything about it. I think it would be ok since y'all are at different stores.

I think the rule is that baristas can date other baristas at your store or any other store, and shifts can date shifts but not baristas, but if you are at different stores, it doesn't matter - unless one of you is the DM. And SM's are definitely not allowed to date shifts or baristas.
But Sbrean and her boy should be ok - especially if he is a shift at another store.

Well, he is my boyfriend not just some co-worker hook up. I just want to be able to walk into Starbucks with him holding hands instead of completely avoiding him.

thats understandable,....i didnt mean to come off as rude,...i'm just sayin, unless you say something no one can really confirm anything,...so what does it matter

I just didn't want to risk our jobs over it. It would be very silly especially since we act completely professional at work.

So don't do anything!Considering how many starbucks there are, can't you and your bf go to another one where no one knows you?

my store manager is engaged to a shift at another store haaPosted 4 years ago # -
Lamericana- I wish I could do that but unfortunately we train a lot of people at our store and send them to the other 5 stores in the area.

the only thing you'd probably need to be careful about is not picking up a shift at his store when he's working, and vice versa. Other than that...you're in the clear.
