Starbucks is finally cracking down on kroger for understaffed starbucks kiosks
Permalink   


Starbucks is finally cracking down on understaffed starbucks kiosks. I float between 2 stores for hours and shop at a third. I've noticed starbucks is finally saying enough being shorts staffed. Get your departments fully staffed to keep the kiosks open or risk being finned again. I agree 100% with starbucks. Despite the fact there's a lack of workers, starbucks is even getting fed up with understaffed stores. Enough is enough and they couldn't be more correct.

Now that the union contract has changed people can finally float between departments. They're frantically cross training willing associates to make sure the starbucks kiosks inside stores remain open. I 100% agree with starbucks. Enough is enough and kroger is in violation of the starbucks contract.

I say get rid of Starbucks.  We don't need them.  We're a grocery store.  People are going to come whether there's a Starbucks or not.

 I guess getting people wired on caffeine makes them spend more.  Kroger's going to use it till its last drop, literally...awful.  Even working at a real Starbucks isn't half as difficult.

 WOW, you come off like the biggest, worstest turd NObody wanna get stuck working with. EVER. You love SB so much, whyn't you go work for em? Huh? 

And this sh*t about floating everybody everywhere, shove that up your snatch hatch. Too many companies already forcing that sht just cuz they don't wanna cash up and hire help. ---And don't gimme that crap about 'nobody wants to work'. Companies don't wanna HIRE.

It's a grocery store. Snob snot coffee shops are not the priority.

Nothing new, Kroger has always tried to bend the rules with SB. The workers want to join a Union and they got one by working inside a Kroger now Kroger says hey how about you work in deli. As the great one says how about no

Starbucks employees also tend to not be miscreants. A Kroger bad apple kind of stands out behind their counter. SB may be too ethical, not really in the thug spirit so never a good fit in one of our stores.

 A friend of mine got yelled at by management because he wouldnt leave the dept to do lot service and do a clean up. Thing is, my friend doesnt work for Kroger, he was sent by his actual employer Starbucks to help in the kiosk in another store. 

Management in that store STILL tried to write him up. My friend simply said, "I dont feel like tearing  a paper in half for an invalid reason. 

I know they CANNOT do anything to him per-se, but can they refuse his help there as retaliation to what transpired?

 Yes they can...how did your friend respond to management? Was he snotty, rude? It'd all in how you respond to people but also on how you approach then as well.

As for doing something, they can refuse your friend's company to send your friend in to help next time. Or worse, Say your friend is poor representative of his store. Whatbyour friend could have and should have said is "I do not work for Kroger, buy I can get the clean up for you before returning to help in the dept.

I do the same thing your friend does and I am on loan from Starbucks to help in Kroger Starbucks temporarily. I've gotten clean up, and even ran and gotten things for customers (I know the layout real well) and even did a fee carryout. Management was greatful and I've gotten a few free lunches there as well.
