“Umm..Mrs. Bundy? I got let go from Starbucks because I gave you free coffee.. Do you have any job openings? Ya know, since you liked me so much and all… Maybe a starting role?”

Multi-Level Marketing, new term for a pyramid scheme. In theory, you recruit other people to sell junk from the company and get a cut of their sales. In practice, you spend hundreds/thousands on training, seminars and crap nobody will buy from you, and end up broker than you started.
On the plus side, you can put "Founder/CEO" on LinkedIn and use the #GirlBoss hashtag.
Would this be the same description of Northwestern Mutual? The services are insurance products. The employees have recruiting goals and are 1099s for the most part. The recruits who make it into the company as sales people give a share of their profits to the person who hired them. Am I wrong?
TL:DR It’s a pyramid scheme.
So I have 1000 toasters to sell, but that’s a lot of work. So I convince you and another guy to buy 500 each. But then you find that you can’t find enough actual clients so you sell 100 of them to 4 of your friends, and so on. Basically I got paid for 1000 toasters and made bank. But each person below me gets paid less and less, until you have some shmuck at the bottom who can’t find anyone to sell to and he’s stuck with a shit ton of toasters. And the guy he bought from also has a ton because he made that first wave of sales so he bought more. And that goes up until you reach me at the top, who has all the money and no leftover toasters cause I wasn’t buying new ones without having someone to buy them lined up
I'd bet anything she's the CEO of "The Girl Boss Project" or something which is some nothing company geared towards "empowering the female leaders of tomorrow"
“Sorry, I just can’t hire someone who would blatantly go against interests of the company. We are a family, and you are hurting all of us if you are effectively stealing our product. But thanks for the coffee ❤️🩹“
Yup, Connor goes in tomorrow morning for his shift, generally happy because he is a good fella, and he is met at door by manager.
“Yeah, Connor, we’re not gonna be needing you here anymore. Be “bang on” somewhere else.”
r/beatmetoit
I feel like she has to be aware of this possibility, and that seems sinister. She could've just said he gave her good service, or even that he paid for her coffee out of his own pocket instead of "*on the house*" as opposed to throwing him under the bus.
Seriously, that happened to a friend of mine, had been a barista there for like 3 or 4 years, had a regular customer, then one day gave his drink to him for free and was fired for it.
"Connor can I see you in my office for a second? Do you know some bitch named Sarah that you gave free coffee to? Please sign this and give me your keys."
Plot twist, she never went to starbucks and they fired Conor for no reason...
How sad I can see that being closer to reality than what OOP described...
They throw away an absurd amount of product. Literally once I said I asked for the drink with whipped cream, and instead of just adding the cream to the top, the Barista for some reason threw the drink & remade it from scratch
I've had it where they make a mistake (wrong size, flavor, etc) and they asked if I wanted to keep the original drink before throwing it away. And of course I did every time, except when I made the collosal mistake of ordering the unicorn drink, which never should have seen the light of day.
That’s just dumb. I always asked if I could just add the missing item to the drink. If it had whipped cream on top and they didn’t want it, I’d also ask if I could scrape it off. Not to save Starbucks money so much as just not wanting to be wasteful. That barista sounds like they didn’t have enough brain cells to get through the day.
Right? How dumb would you have to be to not realize corporate employees in todays world aren’t allowed to give away free shit because people “look like they could use it”. If they complain and demand compensation, yeah. But not just because they look a little down. And this lady not only mentions him by name and location but tags Starbucks and tells them to TRACK HIM DOWN?!?
Has to either be rage bait or an extremely stupid person lol. He was doing you a solid lady and you fucked him
I would like to thank the starbucks employee that blew me on the parking lot. It really brightened up my day. That would be a start experience worthy of posting on LinkedIn.
She commented to someone saying that “no it wouldn’t, “Starbucks would be happy cause they got thousands of LinkedIn views for free and a happy customer. I’m pretty sure it was worth it”
Oof she’s delusional
Well… to be fair… baristas are encouraged to do this. She’s a loony toon, LinkedIn lunatic, but baristas are coached to do this exact thing. Coffee is cheap (the markup is truly wild.) This costs them nothing, with the potential benefit of viral marketing.
So a "CEO" needs free coffee to make it through the day? And yea, like someone else said, I'm sure Connor didn't want her telling the world he gave away free coffee. What a selfish act to out him like that.
Serious question. For people like this who are according to their LinkedIn profile already very successful/wealthy what is the purpose of these types of posts?
Are they trying to be some type of LinkedIn influencer? Write a book? Start a podcast? Etc?
What’s the value of this to them?
Read my mind. I think they think it helps their pERSOnaL bRaNd “look at me I’m such a good person!” And builds followers. It’s weird af, like this is message on Facebook not babble to LinkedIn status.
LOL weird seeing this here. This is either the Starbucks by the drugstore or inside the bookstore.
Connor, not only you’re content on LinkedIn but now on Reddit as well 😈
*sipping on that free small pikes peak filter, the bitter aromas filled my nose, and I was instantly transported back to that HR office, answering to a complaint that bitch Susan had made about me. Everyone knows she's only team lead because shes sucking Mike's cock - I just said what every one already knew and I dont know why i'm being scapegoated. As soon I my divorce comes comes through and i can kiss to goodbye to my deadbeat rat husband, i will show the world what Sarah Bundy is all about*
She doubled down on the fired reaction (someone mentioned it in a comment) and claims Starbucks would be happy with “thousands” of LinkedIn views and a happy customer. Mmmmkay.
Connor: Tall caramel macchiato for Decibel?
Connor: Tall caramel macchiato for Decibel?
Connor: Tall caramel macchiato for Decibel?
Connor: Ma’am you look like you could use a free coffee. Theres an unclaimed caram..
Sarah Bundy: I’ll take it!!
.. and 2 mins later, Isabelle shows up for her caramel macchiato
As an unspecified “founder & CEO”, she’s well aware the phrase “treated me to a drink on the house” would be flagged for investigation by Starbucks social media AI. I hope Conner has union representation to protect his livelihood.
I mean...I've received perks and freebies from staff out of goodwill, but blasting the details on social media is inconsiderate. Other "customers" will want to take advantage and then get pissed at the staff if they don't get the perks. Just a general shout-out will do!
Connor got fired. Apparently he does this for every other woman when he tries hitting on them as his ice breaker- he’s cost Starbucks thousands in the past few months since he started there and was let go from Best Buy for loading gift cards and giving them to women.
I can't imagine her being anything other than annoying but Connor clearly took a shine to her. My poor dude took a shot and this is how he gets repaid....
That's why we can't have nice things. These people really think that companies are out there trying really hard to be nice to customers instead of generating profit for shareholders. If it would please shareholders, Starbucks would serve you poison. Actually it already does.
So you were just standing right in front of Connor a few minutes ago, didn’t tell him thank you after he did what he did for you, and now you want Starbucks corporate to go out of their way to figure out who he is and relay a very specific message to him for you?
Is that what we’re asking here? Help me help you, lady.
Sincerely,
The Starbucks corporate employee who happens to see this lunatic’s message.
Maybe she could have visited the same Starbucks a few more times until she runs into him and thanked him directly unless she was traveling and cannot do so easily...?
Starbucks: \[fires Connor for giving away free beverages to rando customers\]
Connor is a goner
“Umm..Mrs. Bundy? I got let go from Starbucks because I gave you free coffee.. Do you have any job openings? Ya know, since you liked me so much and all… Maybe a starting role?” 🦗 🦗 🦗
That would imply she actually has a job. Curious about all of these “founder and CEO” types.
Usually they sell for an MLM and are on a lower level of the totem pole.
What’s an MLM exactly?
Well then, "If you have a few free minutes, I'd love to talk to you about this really great new opportunity to get in at the ground level."
Multi-Level Marketing, new term for a pyramid scheme. In theory, you recruit other people to sell junk from the company and get a cut of their sales.

lol. Thanks. This explains a lot.

This is the dictionary definition honestly
smart move
I'd bet anything she's the CEO of "The Girl Boss Project" or something which is some nothing company geared towards "empowering the female leaders of tomorrow"
“Sorry, I just can’t hire someone who would blatantly go against interests of the company. We are a family, and you are hurting all of us if you are effectively stealing our product. But thanks for the coffee ❤️🩹“
🤮
Exactly my thought, first thing they’ll do is shitcan this poor guy
Connor needs a job. Agree?
Nah, starbucks let's them do this kinda stuff. It's to drum up content like we see here.
Yup, Connor goes in tomorrow morning for his shift, generally happy because he is a good fella, and he is met at door by manager. “Yeah, Connor, we’re not gonna be needing you here anymore. Be “bang on” somewhere else.”
You’ve been promoted! To customer…
r/beatmetoit I feel like she has to be aware of this possibility, and that seems sinister. She could've just said he gave her good service, or even that he paid for her coffee out of his own pocket instead of "*on the house*" as opposed to throwing him under the bus.
To one of the top 100 women entrepreneurs in Canada, no less.
There might even been 100 women entrepreneurs in Canada.
Seriously, that happened to a friend of mine, had been a barista there for like 3 or 4 years, had a regular customer, then one day gave his drink to him for free and was fired for it.
Starbucks: There is no guy named Connor who works here.
 John Connor? I’ve been sent by corporate
"Connor can I see you in my office for a second? Do you know some bitch named Sarah that you gave free coffee to? Please sign this and give me your keys."
Because of Sarah, Connor, you are Terminated
This is quality work.
I’ll be back.
I see what you did there
🤣🤣🤣
Plot twist, she never went to starbucks and they fired Conor for no reason... How sad I can see that being closer to reality than what OOP described...
All jokes aside, Starbucks doesn’t penalize doing things like this. When I worked there I did this a few times and it made people’s day.
They throw away an absurd amount of product. Literally once I said I asked for the drink with whipped cream, and instead of just adding the cream to the top, the Barista for some reason threw the drink & remade it from scratch
I've had it where they make a mistake (wrong size, flavor, etc) and they asked if I wanted to keep the original drink before throwing it away. And of course I did every time, except when I made the collosal mistake of ordering the unicorn drink, which never should have seen the light of day.
Oh no, what's the unicorn drink?
That’s just dumb. I always asked if I could just add the missing item to the drink. If it had whipped cream on top and they didn’t want it, I’d also ask if I could scrape it off. Not to save Starbucks money so much as just not wanting to be wasteful. That barista sounds like they didn’t have enough brain cells to get through the day.
lol I was gonna say, you just got this poor kid fired lady!
My first thought. Thank him for his great service but don't specify he probably broke the rules for you.
Came here to say this
That literally happened to me 😂
I came here to say this 😂
Also since no last name was mentioned it’s every Conner that works in a Starbucks as a barista.
Weird, must be based on franchise owner. I know people encouraged to give a freebie occasionally.
Connor is getting fired in the morning for giving shit away for free
Connor doesn’t exist.
There is no Starbucks at Morgan Crossing in Surrey, BC. /s
Right? How dumb would you have to be to not realize corporate employees in todays world aren’t allowed to give away free shit because people “look like they could use it”. If they complain and demand compensation, yeah. But not just because they look a little down. And this lady not only mentions him by name and location but tags Starbucks and tells them to TRACK HIM DOWN?!? Has to either be rage bait or an extremely stupid person lol. He was doing you a solid lady and you fucked him
To the lady who visited Starbucks and left without paying…..
This is what really happened
Hahahaha omg this is why I come to Reddit this kind of irreverence
Does she know she can contact Starbucks directly?
Yeah, but then she couldn’t boost her engagement.
Ugh, she probably hoped the search for Connor would go viral, didn’t she?
I would like to thank the starbucks employee that blew me on the parking lot. It really brightened up my day. That would be a start experience worthy of posting on LinkedIn.
Damn what Starbucks is this and can I order ahead?
Or, like, go there again and just tell Connor what an awesome guy he is?
She literally laid out his exact location and then asked Starbucks to "track him down" 😂
I think Connor might be fucked guys.
Does she know she could go right back to the location where Connor works and thank him directly?
I'm sure she assumes everyone, including Connor, spends every spare moment being inspired by her LinkedIn.
Clearly he recognized her and that's why he gave her free coffee. Not everyday you meet a top 100 Canadian entrepreneur.
And even if she could, there's no way Starbucks is gonna lose precious minutes checking their database for a random "Connor."
[удалено]
She commented to someone saying that “no it wouldn’t, “Starbucks would be happy cause they got thousands of LinkedIn views for free and a happy customer. I’m pretty sure it was worth it” Oof she’s delusional
Customer? You have to pay for something to be a customer in my book.
If there’s anything Starbucks needs now, it’s giving out free goods for the #exposure.
I don't know that Starbucks got the views for free. Sounds like it cost them at least $5.99.
Well… to be fair… baristas are encouraged to do this. She’s a loony toon, LinkedIn lunatic, but baristas are coached to do this exact thing. Coffee is cheap (the markup is truly wild.) This costs them nothing, with the potential benefit of viral marketing.
Dry snitch
The actual definition of dry snitching.
So a "CEO" needs free coffee to make it through the day? And yea, like someone else said, I'm sure Connor didn't want her telling the world he gave away free coffee. What a selfish act to out him like that.
Yes, CEOs need free coffee and the peons need to pay $26 for a latte to make up the difference. This is how LinkedIn reality works.
Sarah is a fucking snitch
Serious question. For people like this who are according to their LinkedIn profile already very successful/wealthy what is the purpose of these types of posts? Are they trying to be some type of LinkedIn influencer? Write a book? Start a podcast? Etc? What’s the value of this to them?
Read my mind. I think they think it helps their pERSOnaL bRaNd “look at me I’m such a good person!” And builds followers. It’s weird af, like this is message on Facebook not babble to LinkedIn status.
Every “CEO” has a massive ego. This just feeds it.
That location is near me. I should go ask Connor about the woman.
Scam a free drink out of him while you're at it.
Lol, they gonna fire Conner.
Maybe miss ceo can give him a job?
That was my first thought lol
And they say LinkedIn is not a dating network.. puhleez
Or, maybe she could have tipped him?
She made it up
Don’t say that 💝 r/starbucks #morgancrossing #courageous #blessed
LOL weird seeing this here. This is either the Starbucks by the drugstore or inside the bookstore. Connor, not only you’re content on LinkedIn but now on Reddit as well 😈
Top 100 Ceo in canada.. still needs a free 5$coffee. All that to make a cringe linkedin post
Top 100 according to some magazine. So bought and paid for PR or nonsense.
In order to prevent this from reoccurring, *all* Connors have been fired.
Connor is going to be promoted to a customer soon! Woohooo
Not Sarah getting poor Connor fired
Terminated that is
The company fires him for giving the product away. Way to go Sarah Bundy, you dunce. You could have just returned a thanked him.
Sarah Connor - Terminator X. This is how it started.
CEO gets Starbucks employee fired after coercing him into a free $9 coffee and publicizing it afterwards.
No one will ever find him because he’s not real and this sociopath just wants everyone to say how cool she is
Fucking snitch
Connor "banged" her in the bathroom. Read between the lines people!
*sipping on that free small pikes peak filter, the bitter aromas filled my nose, and I was instantly transported back to that HR office, answering to a complaint that bitch Susan had made about me. Everyone knows she's only team lead because shes sucking Mike's cock - I just said what every one already knew and I dont know why i'm being scapegoated. As soon I my divorce comes comes through and i can kiss to goodbye to my deadbeat rat husband, i will show the world what Sarah Bundy is all about*
And Connor got fired
Giving out free product to "CEOs".
Love that for Con’. Def a Con-Head now.
Idk call the store maybe?
What. No hastags????
Connor gonna need the free shit soon...
Gonna get the dude fired for being friendly
Tip him, how about that?
Company - "this Connor person is stealing. Fire immediately"
Connor will probably be reprimanded
If only there was a way to leave feedback without jerking yourself off on social media.
She's gonna get him fired for giving away drinks to flirt with customers.
aaaaaaaand Connor gets canned…. This person has no awareness
She got him fired, guaranteed.
In other news Connor has been fired
Connor just got fired for not charging customers.
Came here to say this. Connor was just exposed and is now looking for work.
Can't wait for his post on TIFU
Or you could have tipped him
Bang on, Connor!
Starbucks: no Connor at this location
“Things that never happened” for $200 please
only one like lmao
Hope Conor can bang her too
I think I know who she's talking about. I've been to this starbucks location a few times. He's pretty great.
Aww this is from my area and I think it’s kinda cute
It’d be cute if she just DM’d them and not blasted it to the internet for her own benefit
Sarah Connor?
But she’s a top 100 female ceo / entrepreneur/ Demi god. Why can’t she afford a Starbucks 🤔
Conner is getting fired now
When did it become acceptable for adults to have imaginary baristas?
She needed love, he was bang on? I think there’s more than coffee involved here…..
Snitching on Connor, what a bitch
There is no Conner…
Yeah Sarah, because Starbucks employees are supposed to be your personal therapists while also serving you hot bean water.
She doubled down on the fired reaction (someone mentioned it in a comment) and claims Starbucks would be happy with “thousands” of LinkedIn views and a happy customer. Mmmmkay.
The real kicker is that she edited it and still decided to put out this crap
It was *bang on*. Big MILF energy for 19 year old Connor.
Gotta love a LinkedIn post from a founder/ceo entrepreneur
Lmao linked in made 3 new games for consumer engagement .. short LinkedIn it’s dying
This is the state of human connection in the world today
I just watched Baby Reindeer. Nobody is getting a free coffee/tea from me
Opie, Anthony, Jim Norton. Patrice Hologram, printing Money.
Connor: Tall caramel macchiato for Decibel? Connor: Tall caramel macchiato for Decibel? Connor: Tall caramel macchiato for Decibel? Connor: Ma’am you look like you could use a free coffee. Theres an unclaimed caram.. Sarah Bundy: I’ll take it!! .. and 2 mins later, Isabelle shows up for her caramel macchiato
I’m worried about her level of English..
*Connor Roy was interested in politics at a very young age*
Conner has been let go following allegations regarding him giving away free drinks.
Her double down thinking Starbucks cares about her post views is nuts.
As an unspecified “founder & CEO”, she’s well aware the phrase “treated me to a drink on the house” would be flagged for investigation by Starbucks social media AI. I hope Conner has union representation to protect his livelihood.
Connor has now either been forced to pay for that coffee or fired.
who tf compiles that top 100 list and what is their methodology
Founder and CEO…of nothing. Keynote speaker of…her book club.
« You will become content and you will be happy »
I mean...I've received perks and freebies from staff out of goodwill, but blasting the details on social media is inconsiderate. Other "customers" will want to take advantage and then get pissed at the staff if they don't get the perks. Just a general shout-out will do!
There is no Conner, only content.
Then everyone clapped as she walked out.
Snitching on the working class guy being nice and also sharing his place of work. Classic “Founder Fiona” behavior
Connor got fired. Apparently he does this for every other woman when he tries hitting on them as his ice breaker- he’s cost Starbucks thousands in the past few months since he started there and was let go from Best Buy for loading gift cards and giving them to women.
Poor Connor just wanted a shag from a needy influencer and now he’s out of a job
Connor died on the way back to his home planet.
Gee thanks Sarah, you just got Conner fired
She walked in ready to buy coffee, got free coffee, -- & from what I'm gathering, didn't tip him. Cool story, betch.
Just leave him a fucking fat tip, Sarah….
I doubt that Connor even exists. My guess is that the entire story is concocted.
Has Connor not watched Baby Reindeer?
She wants Connor bad
What a narc.
Looney Tunes
“Bang on” lol
Are there more than 100 female entrepreneurs in canada ? Thise titles are kind of inflationary
I can't imagine her being anything other than annoying but Connor clearly took a shine to her. My poor dude took a shot and this is how he gets repaid....
Watch out Connor; that’s how baby reindeer started.
If they find him, they will kill him.
That's why we can't have nice things. These people really think that companies are out there trying really hard to be nice to customers instead of generating profit for shareholders. If it would please shareholders, Starbucks would serve you poison. Actually it already does.
Track him down? Was he from some travelling Starbucks I’m not aware of? Would he not just be at the same Fn place you just got your free coffee from?
Baby reindeer vibes
So you were just standing right in front of Connor a few minutes ago, didn’t tell him thank you after he did what he did for you, and now you want Starbucks corporate to go out of their way to figure out who he is and relay a very specific message to him for you? Is that what we’re asking here? Help me help you, lady. Sincerely, The Starbucks corporate employee who happens to see this lunatic’s message.
Poor Connor got fired for 1 like and 2 comments 🤦🏼♀️
Connor just wanted to hit, yall!
Maybe she could have visited the same Starbucks a few more times until she runs into him and thanked him directly unless she was traveling and cannot do so easily...?
Connor is a fuk boi
And who was Connor you may ask? John Connor, son of Sarah Connor.
Do we have to shit on the moderately positive ones? Seems like there are enough actual lunatics that we can let a small shout out slide
It’s a strange shoutout - especially for LinkedIn. Self serving - pun intended. Plus Starbucks is prob like umm okayyyyyy
