(Starbucks Coffee)統一星巴克股份有限公司

There are two drinks, but you can only have them depending on the shift supervisor’s mood.

You have to learn both the cashier and counter roles within one hour. When working the register, you have to constantly promote Mother’s Day cakes and the food in the pastry display. If you don’t promote them, they’ll tell you that you’re not selling them, and those items will be discarded in the trash that evening.

New employees’ mistakes are directly berated in front of customers until they cry. They expect you to remember everything after telling you only once, even though you have to memorize more than 100 things in a day.

You can only get water or use the restroom during your break, and the shift supervisor decides when you can take a break.

They expect you to memorize their recipes after work or on your days off.

The colleagues are easy to get along with

Employee discounts on purchases

Exhausting!!!! Endless buy-one-get-one-free promotions

Two cups of coffee a day, as much as you like

Good colleagues take you to heaven, while bad colleagues have absolutely no patience and are extremely sarcastic! You have to clock in 15 minutes early for work and clock out on time—you cannot work overtime. Schedules are arranged weekly, and you only find out next week’s schedule on Saturdays! It’s completely impossible to plan your time.

You can drink lots of coffee

The duty manager and store manager at a certain store frequently verbally insult colleagues, put performance pressure on part-time employees without providing performance bonuses, and create extremely high work pressure.

There is no overtime pay for working past the scheduled end time, which completely violates the Labor Standards Act.

American-style management provides training for every position.

A results-based system—there are always three reports to submit after work, and time spent writing reports doesn’t count. The “buy one, get one free” promotion comes without a pay raise. On typhoon days, you’re expected to risk your life to come to work at a location that takes 20 minutes to commute to. Store managers are promoted based on how well they talk, not because they have particularly strong abilities.
