I work at a increasingly busy starbucks now that we have a drive thru, and as of this week they are cutting hours because “labor costs”, but the flow of people stays the same. My shift got cut two entire hours yesterday as soon as I arrived, instead of leaving at 12, I was cut at 9:45 but we were busy at that time so I didn't end up leaving until a little after 10. My manager asks me today in the middle of a short rush, “what time were you done yesterday?” And I replied “uh I think around 9:50?” As that's when I was off drive thru but not the time I spent restocking and resetting my station., Only for him to scurry back to his computer to I assume change the work logs. It wasn't until after I saw him walk away did I realize what I just did. Was it maybe only 20min he shaved off? Sure but right now every bit counts as everyone in the store isnt even getting 30hrs, I saw a shift lead only at 25 for the week. Accidentally commiting wage theft against yourself makes you feel like an idiot and I wish I wasn't so honest.
