$1,200 barista bonuses

Starbucks

This really puts the “bucks” in Starbucks, folks. In a letter to staff, Starbucks announced that hourly workers are now eligible for up to $300 in bonuses per quarter (or $1,200 a year) if their coffeehouses meet certain sales and customer service goals: Sbux is also expanding tipping options and paying staff weekly, instead of every other week. The changes will amount to a pay raise for baristas of 5% to 8% on average, Starbucks said. The movie is part of a strategic overhaul under CEO Brian Niccol to incentivize staff to improve customer satisfaction, with the ultimate goal of reviving stagnant sales and showing investors that its best days aren’t behind it. It’s unclear how workers can procure the customer service bonus, but we assume it starts with ensuring all Ericas with a “c” get the correct consonant written on their cups.
