I have been with sbux so effin long, it's embarrassing. If you look at the member profile you can see how long a person has been at this site :)

why is so embarrassing about, you are just trying to make a living. There is people have been with sbux for decades and I dont think they feel embarrassed.

I'm sorry to hear that caffeinehigh. :(
I've worked for the company for over 3 full months now.
@tallisnotlarge: People who have been with the company for decades are obviously drinking the kool-aid. There is no way in he-ll someone can work more than 3 years at the barista level, without having an intense hatred for the customers and the job and a burning desire to quit.

But if you work for them for 25 years, you get 400000 virtual beans!!!!!! With which you can maybe buy a tv! Or an iPod! But not a family and a car and a real job that you passed up for 25 years of poverty!

Six years with the Bux now. I am actively looking for something else now. The job worked for me for a while, but it's now a dead end, so I will be out soon, I hope. I've only been a member here for a few weeks, if that.

@Dry Sharpie, I know working as a barista can be tough sometimes, but trust me there are jobs worse than working at Sbux. Just think about if u lost your job, you wont able to be pay bills, raise you kids etc. AWFUL
@cruisyeyes : Not way, what inspired you to be here for so long????COffee???

And I'm not working those worse jobs. At Starbucks, I'm working for chump change with the amount of effort I put into keeping the store functional. I don't know how many times you've actually had to scoop real sh!t off the restroom floor, deal with smug self-entitled disgustomers who force you to remake their drink over and over during a rush, or work sleep deprived and starving for 8.5 hours in an understaffed store. Yeah this job is "tough" alright. I eat a slice of pizza on my half, because that's all I can manage to eat in 30 minutes while regular office workers get a full hour of paid lunch. tallisnotlarge, don't tell me that there are better jobs out there, I know there are. If the economy wasn't so bad, I'd be finding work elsewhere.

I know you got your difficulties, but there are people just like you. You think eating a slice of pizza in 30mins is bad? try 20mins. Just because of you do not see it everyday, does not mean it is not there. It is not just you, there are tons of people stuck in this situation worse than you. Dry Sharpie, I think I kind of like you or maybe not, but I understand you.... Do not hate yourself or life.

I don't think that was what he was getting at... Obviously some people have it worse than [Sharpie]
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yeah... it sucks worse when you don't get breaks... and then, when the management finally does something to give you a break every day, you realize you can't afford to eat lunch.
I wish I was kidding lol. In the last six months, the price of a singular, solitary taco has gone from $4 to $6. Four was pushing it... a f-cking taco, my god. And Everything else is of a comparably ridiculous price where I work. It's a huge hassle too, bringing anything into work, with so many restrictions with security blah blah blah... so... free pastry and coffee it is. :/
But to answer the question, I've been working at the Bux for 8-9 months now.

Almost 8 months now. Just got promoted to shift, received a 65 cent raise and now I'm actively seeking a new job.
Posted 1 year ago # -
^ OMFG!
I thought when you promoted to shift you automatically received a $2 raise!
@Tall, just because other people have it worse doesn't mean we don't have it pretty bad. When I was living off of ramen and tap water, I know there were people who had less than that. Doesn't mean it made my situation good.

I could be incorrect. I don't know if I got paid shift pay for shift training.
Posted 1 year ago # -
lol, my raise was only like $.50 because I was close to the top barista salary. but shortly after I became a shift they raised the starting wage for shifts, then I got my review so w/in 6 mos I was making almost $2 more an hr.

I've been with SBux for 5 years now. I've been a barista twice and a shift twice. I got promoted and transferred to another store. I had some personal drama directly affect me and I stepped down after about 4 months. I ended up transferring to another store and was re-promoted 5 months later. It's been 3 and a half years since I got re-promoted.
When I first got promoted, I only got a $.59 raise. I stepped down and lost $.60 per hour. Then when I got re-promoted, it ended up being a $.90 raise cause it was felt that I would have been making that much had I not stepped down in the first place.

Got hired in May 2003, quit in January 2004 "to focus on school" lol community college. It was more like an excuse to get out. Later that year, I was desperate for a job so I went back to the bux at a different location. Worked there for uh.. almost two years? Had been promoted to shift, found a job as a receptionist that paid about the same, so I quit. Hated the receptionist job cause my boss was a d-ck, went back to the bux 3 months later so I'd at least have a job, got promoted to shift. Got horribly depressed seeing a life that led nowhere and quit in July 2007 to go back to school. I was jobless down here until about a year and a half ago, when I again got hired. I am working just as a barista so I can focus on school, usually work less than 20 hours a week. My Starbucks woes are really nothing compared to the rest of you now, but I have gone through some rough **** before I got here.
Anyway, ahem, I will happily be quitting in November so I can graduate and get a job in the chemistry field. :D

@TrentaH2O, congrats and hopefully you do not ever have to come back here. lmao

I have been with Starbuck a little over a year...I don't enjoy work anymore.

@Buxmeister- holy god!! only 65 cents?? DEFINITELY look into that. I got promoted to shift after a year (have been with the company for almost 2 years now) and had gotten one barista raise... got an almost 2 dollar raise when I was promoted and then the first 6 month raise (it starts over again from when you became a shift) was a fixed 50 cent raise from that. I'm making about 2 dollars more than I was last year now. However... more money apparently equals more bills and more crap to pay so I'm still broke as $hit lol.

It's a dollar in my area.

Tips average around a 1.00 where i'm at

My manager really wanted me to promote (there was no one else who was close to ready to promote and I had been a shift before) and I said no when I was asked. When he asked why not I said because the amount of stress that came with the job did not match the amount of money I would be getting paid. He wrote an amount on a piece of paper, folded it, handed it to me, and told me to think about it. I didn't think for very long :D

I've been at sbux for year and half, I enjoyed it for 6months but now not so much. I've gotten a 30cent raise based on my "average" performance. I think I got a bunch of 2's on my review.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Been with sbux for 1 year, watched this site for at least that, but only posted here for a month, or so.
I work with several partners who have pre-100**** partner #'s. Something like 10 years. My DM has been with starbucks since 1980, or so.

I will be a year this November. I told myself when I was hired this was just a 'stop-over' until I could find a job to apply my college education too....then I just got comfortable.
I have toyed around with the idea of applying for a position at head office once I hit my year mark...but we'll see how I feel. Not that I am super in love with the company or anything, but I would have the street cred combined with the education to give it a shot.
....or I could become a stripper....

@OrangeBlossom: I hope you get what you always wanted...... I mean becoming a stripper... JKJK XD

@OrangeBlossom - I've thought the same thing... Plus working at corporate will be a completely different experience than being in the trenches.
