Starbucks is making baristas follow a conservative dress code - a huge change from what’s currently policy, and wasn’t bargained for with our union. That means many workers have to buy all-new wardrobes out of pocket while limiting expression through outfits and makeup - and legally needs to be bargained with workers. Baristas at the Seattle Roastery marched together as a union to confront their unreceptive management and demand they also address lack of hours and staffing. If Starbucks isn’t listening, we’ll keep taking action until they do.

It's work place honey, not a therapy place for your feelings. Y'all been dressing poor & unclean 🥺

As a former Starbucks employee starbucks has always had some form of "dress code" which has always been pretty lax. Just because they are requiring you to wear a more "uniform" dress code that probably also follows food health and safety regulations isnt uncalled for by Starbucks. You also seem to forget that it is a huge corporation so there will always be a disconnect to the partners that are there day in and day out in these locations. What I don't understand is why the workplace is supposed to be the environment for self expression, work is a place you get paid to perform jobs/tasks. Self expression is for your free time. You are still an individual even if you have to wear a uniform, which most places of employment require. The lack of staffing is definitely something to continue to bring to light but the uniform is such an i significant thing to be worked up about.
