They're still mgmt. Like I said up front, if SB wants you to perform mgmt tasks, they should pay you accordingly. That you think you should get a slice of the tips suggests that they are not.

wskrs Since: Jun 08 24 Chicago, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #125 Jul 6, 2008 LMAO1 - I'm saying, not every shift that I work is one that I am 'supervising.' There are days when I am only following orders. If I didn't get tips, baristas would be making more money than me if you factor tips in. Trust me, I'd love to make more, but we are not managers. Managers have a salary, place orders, interview, hire, fire, deal with corporate, make schedules, etc. We do not, and most of the time, our managers are in the back, sitting. We are out serving customers, just like everyone else. Who gets tips? The people who serve the customers. If I was making what the assistant MANAGERS or store MANAGERS make, I wouldn't need, nor would I want tips.

JAC Sandy, UT	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #127 Jul 10, 2008 Someone should put that on a t-shirt. Oh, they did. call Just Add Coffee in Utah.
Kristie New York, NY	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #128 Dec 30, 2011 Wow!! Seriously?? This is probably because there are a lot of coffeemaker machines available to the market so that they can make their own coffee at home that tastes just as great as the ones in starbucks..i have mine and I got it there on sale: http://capressocoffeemakerreviews.com/ .
Sam Chicago, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #129 Jan 23, 2012 As much as I love Starbucks, their coffee is just ridiculously expensive. I just make mine at home with my new coffee maker which I got on sale here: http://capressocoffeemakerreviews.com/
Richard Columbia, MO	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #130 Feb 14, 2012 I like GANO EXCEL http://www.myganocafe.com/bts BUT STARBUCKS IS STILL THE BEST!!!
Christie San Antonio, TX	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #131 Feb 29, 2012 I love Starbucks! But I do have to agree it is way too expensive. But I kind of cheat the system and either get coupons offline or get the giftcards from the online sites that give them away! Sad day that they are closing stores. Hopefully they won't be closing the one right next to mine!! Here's a site for one of the giftcards http://clicks2offers.go2jump.org/SHC6G
