Pretend to be busy!

By nichaneely - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I got yelled at by one of my bosses. The reason? I was yawning. I work at Starbucks. Apparently, I wasn't 'promoting' correctly. FML

do they let y'all drink for free?

FYL, If they don't give you free coffee, then you have no obligation to be awake. Of course if they do give you free coffee, YDI for not taking advantage.

@ 32- we dont get secret shoppers anymore, a "snapshot" as it was called. we now do the customer survey which prints out randomly with their receipt. i personally would rather have the secret shoppers back, as customers dont know what exactly what we're looking for.

Actually i worked at a walmart and secret shoppers are very much a part of the evaluation system there. As well as m&m meats

You've gotta get more oxygen, dood. Of course, your body already knows that.

@42- I don't know what kind of Starbucks you work in, but at the one I work at (inside a Safeway) we still get secret shoppers in addition to that new survey. The secret shopper knows what you are supposed to do, and the surveys are more for seeing the customer perspective of your job.

@44---- i work at a 24 hour sbux in florida. we dont get the secret shoppers anymore, it could be the area that you're in.

OP, I say FYL if your manager really made that big a fuss. I work the opening shift (5am) all the time, so I yawn quite a bit, especially when I first get there and during the last hour if it's an 8 hour day. Yawns happen, it's not like they're entirely controllable.

Of you drank more Starbucks, you wouldn't be yawning.

Psh, I work at Starbucks and get about 3 partner bevs a day. Plus markouts from the pastry and rtd case when I close. So, how ya likin having to promote the SKCDL and the via? I think it sucks, personally.
