The Barista Brotherhood
We’ve repeatedly told you that Starbucks employees are underpaid, but you shouldn’t take our word for it. Just read the story that this person posted online. The good thing is that as underpaid employees, they’ve created a sort of relationship where they’ll intentionally not charge each other for drinks (and food items are 50% off!).
Whether their partners are on-duty or not, it doesn’t matter. Everyone slaves away for pennies at the same store, so why not help each other out whenever possible? If the store suffers from it, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. Think about paying your employees higher wages if you want them to perform per your standards.
