I was waiting on line on my day off. The lady in front of me ordered a grande brown sugar shaken iced espresso, which is probably $7. She pulled out a bunch of recovery cards. The person on register scans and keeps telling her that she has a balance left. Thus, she keeps saying oh can you try this one next. She ended up not paying anything since she used so many cards. It also seems like she was about to pull out more if there was still a balance. In my head, I was like wow she must complain a lot. These are not gift cards and clearly states the next one one us.
Now honestly, Iām just amused and really curious how she got all these cards. I know itās not a big deal, but just a thought. I donāt care how anyone pays, but just wondering if she really made all these complaints to get free drink after free drink; used the cards here and there to rack up that many with a few cents left on the cards. Or did she used to work at Starbucks and stole a bunch of recovery cards before quitting, etc.
At my store we give them out alllll the time! Why not. It costs us NOTHING and makes people so happy. Especially our locals. Itās such a small thing to make them feel valued. We have such a sweet team, and SM- she encourages it as well. We even give them their drink or food for free from time to time. Little things ā¤ļø
My dm has never said a word. SM has been at our store since open 15 years ago and all of our team has been here for 2-12 years. Iām not exactly worried about the multi billion dollar company losing 4$ when things donāt go right. If itās that big of a deal then our dm would handle it or reprimand usā¦ itās kinda common sense? if weāre fucking up then why wouldnāt we do something for our customers? or if someoneās unhappy or whatever. nobody is saying to āgive out moneyā or whatever
Meh. People act dumb as hell in starbs anyway. Iāve actually never given one to someone bc they were like raising hell. Only if we fucked up somehow to prevent it from even getting there. Like theyāre waiting forever, run out of stuff, or theyāre one of the people who donāt like their drink but feel bad so wonāt let us remake it
