A shift sup. at most places just means you get a title, more work, more responsibility, all the blame if anything goes wrong, and not that much more in pay. It's just a glorified hourly position. </p> http://laist.com/2008/03/21/starbucks_to_gi.php#comment-1319421 http://laist.com/2008/03/21/starbucks_to_gi.php#comment-1319421 Comments Fri, 21 Mar 2008 17:44:33 -0800 <p>I've actually got to agree with Starbucks on this one. I used to be a barista there and the "shift supervisors" were also baristas. They had additional responsibilities but were almost always also working the counter or the bar. I never felt disenfranchised sharing my tips (which were around $40 a week) with them. Even though I am part of the law suite because you're automatically enrolled if you worked there during the time in question, I still feel that this ruling is wrong. </p>
