According to Glassdoor, Starbucks baristas earn between $7 and $15 an hour, with an average hourly wage of $9, which means Starbucks will give at least two raises to its 150000 employees in the United States.
The Forbes article said that such hourly wages are unfair to baristas, who should be paid according to the number of cups.

At home, Starbucks began to make takeout, which means that partners are busier and takeout orders are coming in with higher sales. The hourly workload of their employees has naturally increased.
Piece rate has been widely used in the manufacturing industry (such as factories) for many years. Nowadays, the wages of delivery boys and couriers are calculated on a piece basis. After Starbucks launched delivery, it is estimated that if a store takes out 50 cups, then the wages of ele.me couriers are not much higher than those of Starbucks employees.
At present:
Factory: monthly salary: 4k, social security: unknown, development prospect: unknown, working time: 12 hours (evening shift and morning shift), single rest or non-stop, working environment: unknown.
Starbucks: monthly salary: 3k, social security: payment, development prospects: upward channel, working hours: 9 hours, two days off, night shift, no night shift, working environment: elegant
Factory hourly wage: 12.8 yuan Starbucks hourly wage: 17 yuan
Netizens' comments:
@ soso_: if you count by the cup, it becomes piece-by-piece charging, just like a factory.
@ Kangnan _: I'm afraid Brother Coffee doesn't want to.
@ Curry curries: what's the difference? The hourly salary is 17 yuan per hour, and the piece salary will be reduced to 0.3 yuan per cup.
@ NNAR: is it two cups to dump the remade one?
Miss Li: business is good, but business is not on time. There is no such a cost-effective thing in the world.
It seems that some stores already have dedicated channels for ele.me, some stores do not have dedicated takeout channels, and Starbucks takeout services have been officially available since mid-September. For many Starbucks baristas who earn a single hourly wage, their salary structure may also need to be improved. Starbucks is always happy to give baristas and full-time or part-time employees a variety of benefits, even though Starbucks puts a lot of pressure on its employees. (the outgoing partner complains about the three mountains: moon cakes, zongzi and QA)
"Hello, Starbucks mooncakes, do you need to know?
I have to admit that the fan smile of Starbucks partner is really trained.

You can imagine that after Starbucks launched delivery, the wages of ele.me delivery boys soared, and the salaries of Starbucks employees were all the same.
So, according to the Forbes article, this kind of hourly wage is very unfair to baristas. Should we adopt piece pay?
