Starbucks reviews

Sometimes there are not enough people working on and it makes us not always get the orders done quick enough

I've worked at 4 different stores, 6 different managers and management has been hit or miss. I've had great managers who actually care about your life and others who will hold you down simply because you question their logic sometimes. If you are a proud person or want to hold onto your dignity and integrity, be weary. You're told to smile your ass off and not be a person, be a robot. No tattoos can be visible (although some managers are more lenient) or facial piercings besides ears. Diversity cannot be expressed. Ever. Management can sometimes encourage racial profiling. Have to get up god-awful early if you open (who gets coffee at 5:30am?!) and always be walking on eggshells in case you get health code inspected (a ploy they use to scare us sometimes) or god forbid Howard Schultz himself is in town (usually he won't ever come into your store). Rules on how to do things are CONSTANTLY changing. "Don't call them smoothies" "ok, now you have to call them smoothies", "Don't steam milk with the spoon inside", "ok now why do you have the spoon in there?", etc.
