No drinks on the sales floor is for team members not guestsWe start this tomorrow. I don't see how it will work at all. I'm just SFS but I am not about to tell Karen she can't drink her iced half-caf chai venti latteccino whatever while she tries on sunglasses and feels up all the patio furniture.
Nope, not just for TMs. The "Starbucks welcomes you, but no food or drinks on the floor, sorry for the inconvenience" signs have been up for a week in preparation. Arrows taped on the floor showing direction from door to Starbucks back to door. They had their team meeting a couple days ago. I don't know what instructions they were given, but the rest of us (market, SFS, GM, style, etc.) have been told nothing other than they can't have food and drink on the floor. I am so glad I'm off tomorrow 'cause I'm pretty sure it's going to get ugly.Our Starbucks has been open for a week and no such rule. Are you sure this isn't just for TMs? No way to policy this on guest, if so what is the point of opening Starbucks. What is stopping a guest from purchasing a bottle of water/soda and drinking it? Or bring in their own bottle and drinking it?

Wow! Had no idea. I guess it makes sense, but it would make even more sense to just not open back up in that case since Starbucks is in stores to drive sales not to have guests come in and leave lol 😂Nope, not just for TMs. The "Starbucks welcomes you, but no food or drinks on the floor, sorry for the inconvenience" signs have been up for a week in preparation.

Exactly. Our store has signage letting guests know that we'd love them to enjoy their delicious Starbucks beverages as they leave as we regret they cannot dip them in the store.If you're a mask mandatory state, then you're not allowed to drink Starbucks inside the store.
Guests aren’t required to wear them in my state. We don’t have such a rule for our Starbucks either.Me: Can you please put your mask on?
Guest: But I am drinking coffee...
For real just buy the Starbucks before you leave....
People smoked in the breakroom and we sold cigarettes when I started at target.I remember when we could fire up a Lucky Strike on an airplane. I did while flying on an Eastern Airlines 727 to Columbia, S.C. in the late '60s.
But they DO still wander around the store for two hours. Old, young, pregnant, families with kids and babies. People just don’t care. It’s maddening. At least they’re wearing masks (state mandate).This is a great idea.
It may get ugly but this only makes sense.
Why the hell would you be wearing a mask on the floor if you are drinking coffee at the same time.
Just buy it on the way out and drink it in your car, for fucks sake.
You don't get the wander around the store for two hours like the old days now.
That's just not how it works anymore.
My state doesn't require mask wearing. So I guess that is why people are allow to walking around with drinks and food.
It is definitely a emerging and contradictory problem. I really appreciate when people wear their masks correctly but even my team members can't do that. We could be in for a rude awakening as people start to give less of a fuck about this. I really hope not.Our Starbucks has been open for a week and no such rule. Are you sure this isn't just for TMs?

Not until June 1st, with limited capacity.Does your state allow dining inside of restaurants?
Not until June 1st, with limited capacity.
Does this include a family of "guests" eating bags of chips before purchasing while shopping. All while their masks hang below their chin.Well not in charge of my store. All the Target in the area is still allowing food and drinks on the sales floor 🤷
