Hi,

Someone please help me out here. I am a partner at a Starbucks and our manager has a few "new policies" in place. I am curious if there is really a new policy book coming out that has these policies included. A. One is that personal pictures can not be hung up in the backroom anymore, a picture of my daughter. She said that the backroom is only for Starbucks issued materials now. B. The other is that we are not allowed to have coat hangers. C. When donating pastries we are not to use plastic wrap. We have to throw them into tubberware using our bare hands. D. The schedule can no longer be hung on the door, it must be in the back by "her desk". Any information for in these areas would be most helpful.

Thanks,

Well, for one you could grab the pastries with tongs or wear gloves.

There are several options when it comes to hanging up things on boards in the back room. One option is to keep it business only, for things like barista need to knows, changes in policy, updates, new promo info, etc.

The other option is to have a partner communication board, where almost anything can be posted, as long as it doesn't violate our anti-harassment policy or is offensive.

It is really up to the store manager as to how the board is used, depending on the situation in the store.

When it comes to the marked out/donated pastries, it simply uses too much time and labor, not to mention plastic wrap, to wrap each item individually...especially when it is just going to be given away or thrown away(at a later date). I recommend using a smaller CLEAN trash bag to put all the leftover pastries in. That is much faster and uses zero plastic wrap...

for the pictures of kids in the back.. i kind of have to agree with not having them there. carry around a picture in your pocket/keep it in your bag, whatever.

the back room is a shared space, not your personal office.

Our SM bought one of those "Over the door" Shoe Holder things and gave us each a Pocket to put whatever we want. Pics, Green Apron Cards, decorations, whatever. Its great because you get display whatever you like, while keep a clean and tidy backroom.

As far as the schedule thing, ours is on the fridge in the Backroom, not by the desk? IDK why your SM is being like that...

And we have a Coat Hanger on the Wall, its where everyone leaves they're nasty aprons at the end of the day :)
