Granted, but it's taken out of your paycheck
I wish we were allowed to have visible tattoos and piercings.

Granted. Now it's part of the dress code--green siren tattoos for all!
I wish I could just be myself with customers, instead of all this fake happy bullsh-t.

Granted. But now they tell you exactly how their day is going. Each and every one of them.
I wish I could call out when I have a little tummy ache (read: I don't feel like work today) like my SM does and still get paid for it.

Granted. We're all given several paid sick days per year. Except you've used them all up on trivial things and have none left when you need two weeks off to recover from norovirus.
I wish my manager would take some Xanax and chill the heck out.

Granted, but she becomes addicted and can never have any again and becomes more psycho.
I wish we got off holidays.

granted, however, customers follow you to your home and demand that you still make their drink.
i wish we could blend multiple fraps together!
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted, however we blend one too many together, break our only blender, and have to disappoint the angry frap-hungry customers who then chase us through the streets with torches and pitchforks.
I wish my coworkers weren't so dang lazy.

Granted. Your coworkers are now the hardest working people on the planet and they give you **** about every little thing. They expect you to sell multiple pounds of coffee per half hour and be able to handle bar alone on Saturday while completing a bunch of tasks from the task log.
I wish I was a shift supervisor.

granted, but so is everyone else on ur crew so youre just basically a barista again.
i wish i didnt always get covered in frap base
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted. It never lands on you, but somehow you always reek of it.
I wish there wasn't always some drama with my coworkers.

Granted- now they all get along too well and that scent of Astroglide ain't comin' from someone's carry-on.
I wish .. people would just stfu.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted, but now the customers never speak when they try to order and you have to decipher their amateur sign language.
I wish the refreshers didn't taste like ****.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted. They now taste beautiful and amazing, and every customer wants one. Killing your cold bev line.
I wish that I could actually have fun with my job.
Posted 11 months ago # -
You find fun in a Starbucks pastry bag, huffing CO2 chargers. You are caught soon after and get fired.
I wish my newhires would actually get better at their job.
Posted 11 months ago # -
granted. they are now so good at their job, they move on to better cafes where their talents are appreciated & you are left with no one.
i wish i had more things in common with partners & customers so we didn't just have to talk about the weather.
Posted 11 months ago # -
granted, now ALL customers want to hangout with you, at ALL times!
i wish i could walk away when jerks came in lol
Posted 11 months ago # -
Jerks now follow you into the backroom when you walk away.
I wish the Starbucks Union actually held some sway.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted, now you barely make any money after hefty monthly union fees while dealing with stringent and arbitrary rules.
I wish baristas had the right to refuse service to anyone.

Granted! But now you're left with egomaniacal hipsters you thought were cool in small batches but are really just super annoying with their requests for "150 degree soy lattes" and "double john wayne"s.
I wish we could charge double for a trenta no ice black tea lemonade.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted. Now everything is "al la carte" thus extra ice is $0.05, extra hot is $0.02 and an extra cup is $0.25. And EVERYTHING must be entered into the POS.
I wish partner resources did more than cover up violations and supported us more.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted! Now each barista is taken out to the lobby and publicly flogged for each violation per shift. Because, really, it's the barista's fault... Not the SM or DM.
I wish the pour over method had never existed.
Posted 11 months ago # -
granted, and now you have to brew decaf, blonde and bold constantly as well as pike.
i wish customers wouldn't leave their garbage everywhere and make huge messes.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted, now all customers are super neat freaks and have higher standards than ecosure.
I wish we didn't have to do sampling.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted, but now customers demand to try everything for free.
I wish customers would read opening and closing times and that the ten minute rule did not exist.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted but now customers line up at the door when you open and come in 2 minutes before close and order 6 drinks.
I wish customers actually read the menu instead of asking you everything you have.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted, but now the menu is so large it blocks out all natural light in your store.
I wish Howard would just die.

Granted, but then Starbucks rolls out this massive tribute to him with coffee, via, books, and cds. Your pay is determined by how much you sell individually and how much you confess your sorrow for his death.
I wish we could sling-shot back cards and money to customers.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted, but for every customer who gets hurt or doesn't catch it; you have to make twenty mocha cookie crumble frappuccinos.
I wish the drive thru wouldn't ding every time i try to do or start a task.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Granted, but now you have to go take orders from cars outside since your DT audio isn't working.
I wish we could pick and make our own schedules.
Posted 11 months ago # -
You pick and make your own schedule, but only get 8 hours a week.
I wish I could think of something else to wish for. Apparently my list of complaints for Starbucks is very very small. Wow, ballsacks.
