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

This is next level irony. A coffee shop requiring a gender studies degree.

The CHUDs would have a field day.

I’d wager that the “not” symbol in front of it means it’s not required

No if I qualified it would say “bachelor’s degree” in green. I only have associates so when they want it, it is green and says matching qualifications. If I click on the orange button, it says you may not have all the qualifications.

On the indeed app you can filter by qualifications, so this doesn’t come up.

Pretty sure this is a situation where you can just lie with impunity. Is sbucks gonna call up a college and demand records of your fake degree in egyptology?

Background checks include education verification. The service they use would do this. Most employers do this.

Pretty sure they automate it. I know Spotify uses an API to verify your enrollment in college. I’d bet they could do the same for degree verification.

It’s saying that it doesn’t match the job-seekers profile, ie seeker does not meet requirement

No that’s not how LinkedIn works. If a job lists specific qualification tags like that, it marks those tags with symbols and colors them red or green to indicate if your LinkedIn profile has those qualifications listed. Those can be education requirements, certifications, skills, etc. That tag shows that their profile doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree listed.

This can’t possibly be true, otherwise the college grads that work there do not understand basic English… I order a grande nitro cold brew, add a dash of sweet cream. What do they try to give me? A milk white beverage that is at least half sweet cream. WTF? I want coffee with a splash of cream, not cream with a splash of coffee… Doesn’t anyone like coffee flavored coffee anymore or is it all candy and sugar now? If they really are college grads then thank god they aren’t engineers or doctors.

They are just terrible at paying attention to what you order.

But… if OP’s assertion is true, how could they possibly obtain a degree in ANYTHING without paying attention? I mean, Mc Donalds drive through minimum wage non educated employees get my order right and these Starbucks “college grads” can’t figure it out? Well, I guess that’s why they work for Starbucks rather than their degree field?

You can’t be serious. There are plenty of college grads who are stupid as fuck. Source: have worked with many.

Also, if they’re fucking up your order that badly it’s probably just because they hate their job and don’t really give a fuck.

Does not mean they don’t pay attention to anything. Much like you paying attention to baristas mistakes but only half reading the comment you’re replying to.

Lol, I posted that comment on the description of my post as a joke because people always say their name is either misspelled or purposely misspelled to make you remember your experience. There are senior year students working at college Starbucks and they are terrible at remembering their customers’ orders while my wife with no GED, and almost a decade of food/barista service experience can remember all the college board members’ usual orders including repeat student customers.

“… coffee flavoured coffee…” is a phrase I utter quite often - nice to see someone else uses it to.

It’s not the degree itself, it’s the debt you incurred to get it, and your consequent lack of negotiating power.

I mean migration is a real thing, if your country is so broken and backwards that education is privately paid, might as well migrate to a better and more civilized country?

Migration to Europe or Canada is essentially impossible unless you have skills that are in high demand.

Lol, back when I worked at Starbucks, I joked that one day this exact thing would happen. That the education industrial complex would require a bachelor’s degree for all jobs, as it would ensure debt and desperation in the vast majority of people who solely wish to survive.

I also claimed back then that we would all live to see the disastrous effects of climate change. No joke, people back then shook their heads and thought me nuts.

My next prediction: the majority of people who are parents today will wish they never made the decision to have kids in the next 20 years. Good luck everybody.

That’s not much of a prediction. I ask every woman I get to know if they regret having kids. If they could just go back, and not do it.

Some feel bad about saying yes. Some feel like they’re bad moms. Or bad people for wishing they never had kids.

Some happily say “fuck these kids! Ruined my life!”

Some think about it, and eventually say yes.

But so far, no one has said no.

And this is going back to the 90s.
