I guess they want them to start spelling people’s names correctly.

    Curious to know what their rationale is. You shouldn’t even need a high school diploma to serve overpriced coffee.

      It’s not, this isn’t from Starbucks. It’s just some shitty-arse app that adds this to ~all the listings on it, probably assuming it to be the default.

      From knowing a little about recruiting, if you have a bachelor’s degree and apply, they’re willing to drop one of their employees who barely finished high school.

      It’s not worth it to replace an underperformer with someone else who’ll likely underperform. But if you can start with someone you deem “better” because they have a slightly more expensive piece of paper, it’s more worth the risk.

        I thought conventional wisdom was always that service industry jobs don’t really want people with degrees because they’re more likely to find something better and jump ship quickly. “Overqualified.”
