I just have a question wondering if you guys can help me here. My manager as im sure your managers have been pushing VIA like crazy on you to sell sell sell. If their store makes their goal do they get some kind of raise or bonus?

A big bonus? Because seriously I hate selling this crap and I hate being pushed to sell it so im guessing they have a good incentive.

Hell no! The managers do not get a bonus for selling Via! We get the pleasure of keeping our jobs for just a little bit longer.
If your store hits 125% to goal, the store is given $200 to have a celebration/party, for ALL partners. But, there certainly is no bonus for the managers. For DMs, I've got no clue.

VIA sucks but it so very easy to sell.
It’s looks like magnetic strips! Like when you open up an etch a sketch!! Seriously people look at the VIA before putting it in hot water! It is so unnatural
I feel bad pushing VIA, Merchandise, pastries, extra espresso shots, etc.. on customers because they are so easy to persuade. They always get this confused look then say ‘okay, sure’ but I can tell they don’t want it and certainly don’t need it. WE have become sales people for VIA and I hate it. I don’t see any commission. I never wanted to be a sales person, it’s so sleazy but you will get in trouble if you don’t sell these things. SB has no integrity, they exploit every holiday until it has not meaning.Posted 3 years ago # -
K, is the major push to sell Via just in the States? I've been to random SB probably about 9 times since they launched (obviously I'm not a big fan, but sometimes in a pinch...there's one in our hospital too, believe it or not, and my sister in law just had a baby) and not ONE person has even MENTIONED Via to me. Not at the Hospital SB, not at the Safeway SB, not at any of the other SB in our town, and I've been to all of them, even just fos a SHOT at getting sold to. Nothing.

we don't get anything. I think my manager gets a bonus or something but the baristas don't. we used to do stupid contests for travel mugs as prizes but no one really gave a crap about the via or the travel mugs.

You can get VIA at the grocery stores and a Target. Maybe if people start buying it elsewhere it will eventually be removed from the stores...
