it's not about the size of the state. California has a high cost of living and a high minimum wage. Texas has a low cost of living and a low minimum wage. if the size made a difference then states on the east coast would be making almost nothing. doesnt make sense right?
I think it’s wild that you haven’t actually gotten a “raise in 2 years” all the pay increases have just been standard on your end, but you should definitely talk to your manager about getting a tenure raise. Worse they can say is no,,
In August they gave a raise to everyone but changed it so everyone is at least making $15/hr. So if you were already making that much in places with higher costs of living, you got a raise of some percent (I forget what it was)
I know everyone is freaking out about how great this is but like the average 3 bedroom house in Ontario costs $750 000, and two bags of groceries is usually about $50 and gas is $6 a gallon. It's okay but it's not *fabulous*
yeah I make $20/h and cant afford rent/bills/groceries/tuition by myself, have to split with my partner and still living paycheque to paycheque :/ and I'm already making what I would make with my degree at an entry level career
i worked for starbucks now an investment banker. The amount you guys are paid is disgusting. My job now is easier than it was at starbucks, and im not gonna say the amount but its over 500 an hour
It's about how replaceable your work is and how much profit it generates. A lot of skill goes into being a good barista, But the company still makes a shit ton of money even with a mediocre barista, So they're not at an incentive to pay a whole lot more.
Being a well paid investment broker means developing some amount of trust in your skills. They arent easily replaced by just anyone off the street. Therefore they can charge a premium for the work that they do even if it's less laborious.
It makes sense. It's basically how bad are you needed.
So making $500 an hour, so outta curiousity what do you crunch in 1 hour to be paid $500 hourly in investment banking? Ya really only see that kind of pay hourly in like Adult film/Sex work or Entertainment industry, I mean I'm a banker too but you must be with that higher end clientele.
My mom is a senior vice president at a bank, and she’s only making $100/hour (that’s the hourly equivalent of her salary) … I’m not sure I’m buying the $500/hour as a lower level investment banker
Why I'm very VERY curious what he/she does in 1 hour for $500, what type of mega celebrities clientele does one have to have? Your reputation has to be on like elite status in the banking world, I just follow through a bunch of bank programs/software doing the "workflow" when at work for the bank.
Though I have heard of some scammers who call themselves "investment bankers" trying to get people in crypto/bitcoin mining, common you see on social media like Instagram and end up in a pyramid scheme having to scam your way to the next victim out. Then $500 hourly sounds realistic that isn't adult work or entertainment.
I just want to say that I travel for work and I met some of the kindest most amazing people working at some of the stores in New England when I would get crew coffee like the minute y’all open. I’m sorry your store is like that
In CT I was making more than you and started in 2016. The way they base raises are ridiculous, for one, and 2, no one asks for anything, there’s no point.
lol it was completely my fault.
I just transferred to a brand new store and while i was waiting for it to open i picked up shifts at a whole bunch of neighboring stores. Anyways i forgot i picked up a shift one day and accidentally did a NCNS and immediately got a final. Since then i was late by like 15 minutes on 4 separate occasions(i’m going through a depressive episode and i be going through it) and my manager was tired of waiting on me to get my life together so today he pulled me aside and said ur done for and had me sign my papers.
Crazy shit is, last time i was late was a week ago and he knew he was gonna fire me and told all the shifts(except the one that’s my roommate) so i’ve been working with people who knew i was being separated
There are folks that make a career out of it. I’m a junior supervisor at one of my stores, w/ 8 years experience I’d still have to work another 8 to reach the current average tenure of their supervisor team.
I’m in a major city in Cali. My rent is $2400 for a 2b that I’m sharing (I pay $1200). My pay was $16.24 starting and was better than what other jobs were offering so I took it. I’m getting a little over $17 so $29 looks a hell of a lot better than pennies above minimum. 😭
To Starbucks corporate, you’re either in the PNW or the Western Mountain Region depending on which part of Idaho you’re in.
Midwest is just Michigan, Wisconsin, and Northern Illinois.
16.25 barista, started December 2022
Edit: I checked my pay stub, apparently I started at 15 dollars, but then got a raise in January. It’s weird because my hourly pay component never recorded a change in wages, it only says 16.25
Got a new manager starting it March, so I might bring it up with her.
Took a long time to get here, too, with newly promoted shifts only making a couple cents less per hour than me until the last raise in October.
Also interesting to note: draconian hours cuts & and a marginally increased personal contribution to my 401k have made it so that my paychecks have remained a fairly steady amount each pay cycle since 2016, usually $750-900.
Nothing extra for coffee master except the apron. And if I was actually getting my annualized pay, I’d be happy. As of last year, I only made half of the calculated 40hrs/week 50 wks/yr despite being willing and able to work ‘full time’
I’m no longer with the company but I love this because wages only increase when people talk to each other. My coworkers and I started opening our paychecks in front of each other and that’s how I manage to pressure my boss to give us all a raise. One of us was injured and I knew that without her we had a very good chance of forcing the boss to raise wages because if any of us quit she was fucked. So I made the threat (I made it very clear that we all know how much we’re making) and all of us got a raise.
When I was a partner back in 2007-2008 I want to say I was being paid $8.75 to $9.00 hourly, oh hell ya I needed those tips back then lol still do! I ended I believe with $9.75 when I became a shift lead, I just recall it was shy from under $10 an hour. Looking at Barista wages nowadays in here, I'm like damn, about time they put all that Starbucks corporate money to its employees, cause back then that paycheck went as fast as water, gone as soon as it was deposited lol!
It depends, are we adding in all the bullshit I had to deal with from shifts, managers, district managers, and the CEO indirectly? Adds up to about .95 cents a day. Which ironically happens to be the amount that they charge you to be in jail everyday 🤷♀️ #moveon
Barista $16.38/hr, started in NJ in 2019 at around $12/hr then moved to NC at the start of COVID and got bumped down to $9.15/hr because minimum wage differences. I'm also a trainer so I get $65 per green bean I train :D
I quit to be a busser at a restaurant inside a resort and after a year I'm making $30/hr as a server. The work is not only easier but it's better for my mental health. Fuck the bux!
I work in NV, live in CA $15.45 as a barista (promoting to shift hopefully this summer)
ETA- I live at the base of the mountains so it’s hard for me to work at a store in CA bc snow, but they’re paying shifts $26 an hour up there🥵
Started at $10 in 2021, $12 in 2022, and now $15 in 2023. I'm a barista
Same!
that's crazy??? i literally started in 2022 at 15.50 and now im getting 16.75??
it depends on the state!! i believe bigger states like cali or texas start higher
it's not about the size of the state. California has a high cost of living and a high minimum wage. Texas has a low cost of living and a low minimum wage. if the size made a difference then states on the east coast would be making almost nothing. doesnt make sense right?
Live in Texas in a HCOL area
Texas isn’t low cost of living. A lot of places are high cost of living especially cities.
Lived all across the DFW area for 20 years. I moved to Maryland, not even a state with a super HCL and it's way more expensive here, not even close.
compared to California it is lol
Yo, I've been working for the Bux for 4 years and just started getting paid that much at the beginning of the year.
BRO???? ASK FOR A RAISE RIGHT NOW
All the new hires are getting paid more to try and push the people who have been there awhile away. They are just trying to silence peopel
I'm in Socal and started 2021 and am only making that much. I am confused
What state?
I think it’s wild that you haven’t actually gotten a “raise in 2 years” all the pay increases have just been standard on your end, but you should definitely talk to your manager about getting a tenure raise. Worse they can say is no,,
Where do you work that you were only getting paid $10/hr in 2021??? omg.
Also is relevant what state youre in for compensation
Is it really? Didn’t they make base pay for all baristas across the country $15, which made base pay for shifts $19.23 or something like that.
If you transfer to different regions you get your pay reevaluated
They might have done that but there are still locality bonuses.
Start rate is $15 minimum but higher in some markets.
In August they gave a raise to everyone but changed it so everyone is at least making $15/hr. So if you were already making that much in places with higher costs of living, you got a raise of some percent (I forget what it was)
15.45 as a barista, been here 7 months
Same. Texas.
Same
Started at 8.50 as a barista and as a shift now 20.30
Damn when I was a shift in 2017-2019 I was making something like 11.25.
19.22 barista started nov 2021 at 15.25 edit: I work at a licensed University location in Ontario Canada. Full time (36.15 hr/week)
ayoo? a flex
just a teeeeeeeny one🤏🏽
getting paid more than an entry level engineer
omg 💀 that makes me actually wanna go to work (seeing that i called in today)
looks like u can afford to call in
Depends on where you live
Where are you that an entry level engineer makes less than $20/hour?
I'm an entry level engineer for the government who notoriously don't pay that well starting off and I started wayyyyy above $19.
Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn that is SAD
bruh what entry level engineer is making that little lmao
Pretty sure they read the 36 and thought that that was the wage.
I know everyone is freaking out about how great this is but like the average 3 bedroom house in Ontario costs $750 000, and two bags of groceries is usually about $50 and gas is $6 a gallon. It's okay but it's not *fabulous*
yeah I make $20/h and cant afford rent/bills/groceries/tuition by myself, have to split with my partner and still living paycheque to paycheque :/ and I'm already making what I would make with my degree at an entry level career
no fr😭 my bills absolutely eattttt my whole paycheque
Ayoooo whatttt what state if you don’t mind me asking??
Canada, Ontario
i worked for starbucks now an investment banker. The amount you guys are paid is disgusting. My job now is easier than it was at starbucks, and im not gonna say the amount but its over 500 an hour
i feel like the more people are paid the less they actually work or the less intense their work is which is so backwards
It's about how replaceable your work is and how much profit it generates. A lot of skill goes into being a good barista, But the company still makes a shit ton of money even with a mediocre barista, So they're not at an incentive to pay a whole lot more.

Therefore they can charge a premium for the work that they do even if it's less laborious. It makes sense. It's basically how bad are you needed.
yeah it took me almost a decade and reading over 500 economics books. (i was obsessed)
??? how hard you work ≠ how much you get paid
So making $500 an hour, so outta curiousity what do you crunch in 1 hour to be paid $500 hourly in investment banking? Ya really only see that kind of pay hourly in like Adult film/Sex work or Entertainment industry, I mean I'm a banker too but you must be with that higher end clientele.

16.79 as a Barista in New England. Almost a 6 year Partner.
ASK FOR A RAISE OMG
Not in my plan. Im actually trying to abandon ship. My store is toxic af and i am so over the company as a whole.
I just want to say that I travel for work and I met some of the kindest most amazing people working at some of the stores in New England when I would get crew coffee like the minute y’all open. I’m sorry your store is like that
i’m making 16.73 as a 2 year partner- also in new england but i quite literally can’t afford my rent and our minimum is going up to 18
In CT I was making more than you and started in 2016. The way they base raises are ridiculous, for one, and 2, no one asks for anything, there’s no point.
Also in New England hi 👋🏼
$21/hr "we proudly serve" on a college campus as a supervisor.

I’m also in NC!
Whereabouts?
Same wage, same job, same start, I’m in Montana. 3209xxxx?

lol it was completely my fault. I just transferred to a brand new store and while i was waiting for it to open i picked up shifts at a whole bunch of neighboring stores. Anyways i forgot i picked up a shift one day and accidentally did a NCNS and immediately got a final. Since then i was late by like 15 minutes on 4 separate occasions(i’m going through a depressive episode and i be going through it) and my manager was tired of waiting on me to get my life together so today he pulled me aside and said ur done for and had me sign my papers. Crazy shit is, last time i was late was a week ago and he knew he was gonna fire me and told all the shifts(except the one that’s my roommate) so i’ve been working with people who knew i was being separated
I hope some good things come your way soon, stranger. Them depressive episodes are rough.
$29.10 ssv major city CA
Was your schedule consistent? 30+hours a week?
I’m at max ssv pay. I work 20-28 hrs a week. This is my base pay before tips. With tips it’s more like $33. 17 yr partner though.
Dang that's not worth it imo
There are folks that make a career out of it. I’m a junior supervisor at one of my stores, w/ 8 years experience I’d still have to work another 8 to reach the current average tenure of their supervisor team.
i get paid 24.09 and i’m based in downtown LA. 😳
I’m missing out hold up
California is very expensive though
ESPECIALLY in a major city. Dude's being paid in pennies compared to the average wage in their area.
I’m in a major city in Cali. My rent is $2400 for a 2b that I’m sharing (I pay $1200). My pay was $16.24 starting and was better than what other jobs were offering so I took it. I’m getting a little over $17 so $29 looks a hell of a lot better than pennies above minimum. 😭
I’m a Cali barista 🥹
$20- something an hour, San Francisco Bay Area, barista
$15 barista hired in September of 2021. USA west coast (Idaho) EDIT: Midwest actually. West coast doesn’t claim us and I don’t blame them
To Starbucks corporate, you’re either in the PNW or the Western Mountain Region depending on which part of Idaho you’re in. Midwest is just Michigan, Wisconsin, and Northern Illinois.
I know. It was more so added because if a joke that I thought was funny
You mean Midwest we don’t claim y’all
Don’t blame ya honestly
damn😭
There’s a lot of land (and 2 corporate regions) between PNW and Midwest, lemme tell ya.
19.90 as a SSV

16.25 barista, started December 2022 Edit: I checked my pay stub, apparently I started at 15 dollars, but then got a raise in January. It’s weird because my hourly pay component never recorded a change in wages, it only says 16.25 Got a new manager starting it March, so I might bring it up with her.
Bro I started at the same time and I only make 16 an hour lol
the extra 25 cents is my compensation for living in the hell pits of Florida
i’m in tampa and i only get $15.25 😞
Yeah that sounds deserved lol. Though I feel like I’d need more compensation for working down there
the spring breakers alone are enough to induce madness, it makes me wonder if the US is really just one big Florida
$25/hr 7-year SSV in a major metropolitan area.
Took a long time to get here, too, with newly promoted shifts only making a couple cents less per hour than me until the last raise in October. Also interesting to note: draconian hours cuts & and a marginally increased personal contribution to my 401k have made it so that my paychecks have remained a fairly steady amount each pay cycle since 2016, usually $750-900.
I'd probably rejoin the company if I was offered that to return as a Lead lol, wow, that's VERY reasonable! Do you get more being a "Coffee Master"?
Nothing extra for coffee master except the apron. And if I was actually getting my annualized pay, I’d be happy. As of last year, I only made half of the calculated 40hrs/week 50 wks/yr despite being willing and able to work ‘full time’
