If Starbucks is closed due to lack of staff: Don't come harass the cashiers about it or the closest associate. We can't do squat about there being lack of staff. Before Starbucks became unionized we use to be able to pull staff from the deli now that they're in their own union separate from ours; we can't do that. If it's closed: It's Closed!
Please stop harassing the cashiers for assistance. Yes you'll just have to go else where for your damn coffee. Our business only went down about 15-20% so you karens bitc--hing about not getting your coffee won't affect our sales at all.
Kroger: Just because you decided to go back to "normalish" hours doesn't mean there's staff to cover these gaps. Customers will still come in finding select departments closed due to lack of staff. We will all to often fail to have a morning opener in starbucks or vise versa a closer.
