When it comes to the benefits of working in coffee and tea shops, many people will immediately think of "freedom of coffee" and "enough milk tea". For some young people who love coffee and tea, this employee benefit has also become one of the reasons why they choose to join the industry.

Recently, however, Youxi Tea employees posted that they had received a notice from a store about the cancellation of employee benefits. It is mentioned that due to the continuous decline in store performance, the company wants to increase revenue and cut expenditure, temporarily abolishing monthly employee hi-card benefits.

Coincidentally, a lucky employee posted a record of his internal group chat. As can be seen from the screenshot, the person in charge of the store decided to reduce the number of cups and categories of staff, and said that if the clerk was negligent at work, he might be deprived of this benefit.

These notices and information related to their own welfare have undoubtedly attracted the attention of many workers, and many people immediately went to their stores to learn about the situation after reading these posts.

Fortunately, the benefits of the staff of the directly operated stores are still there and have not been reduced as revealed by the poster. However, some employees who also belong to franchise stores and joint venture stores say they have encountered a similar situation. "We have never had any employees to drink or have a happy card," and "our boss even deducts one cup a month."

At present, most chain brands treat employee drink as a benefit when recruiting, and some candidates also say that they also heard about the store policy from the interviewer during the interview. after entering the job, the clerk can enjoy the employee drink in his spare time as long as he meets certain conditions.

But in fact, migrant workers feedback that whether they can really enjoy this employee benefit depends on the store manager. Some people say that the management of their stores is more relaxed, and employees can not only drink a few drinks a day, but also use the existing materials on the bar to make their own drinks. Some employees said that the management in the store was lax, and they could take away their employees' drinks and share them with their relatives and friends at the end of the day.

However, some clerks revealed that when some responsible persons found that the revenue of the store was lower than expected and the performance declined, they would reduce the loss in the store by reducing employee benefits and not allowing employees to use packaged materials in the store. this situation mostly occurs in franchise stores and joint venture stores.

Compared with the direct store, the employee welfare promised by the brand is actually borne by the franchisee. Therefore, in order to save costs, some budget-conscious franchisees will not allow qualified staff to get their benefits in accordance with the rules of the direct store, but will judge whether they are allowed to drink or not according to the operation of the store.

Of course, there is no lack of some franchisees who think that a small number of workers will take advantage of the convenience of work, so they do not implement the relevant regulations of the brand, abolish the benefits of beating workers to save costs, and avoid waste at the same time.

Many workers say frankly that they don't necessarily drink a cup of milk tea or coffee every day when they are in the industry, and the benefits given to employees by the brand are not enjoyed every day. But once the store strictly pays attention to costs and losses, and decides to cancel staff drinks to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, it will inevitably make shop assistants feel cold and encourage some people to want to leave.
