Seattle woman reveals Starbucks rules that aren’t in the job description, then lists no fake nails, no Apple Watch, no wedding rings: ‘I was fired’

A Seattle-based woman who says she worked at Starbucks has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a list of workplace rules she claims employees are not told about before they are hired. The creator, who goes by the username @jos_k.lift, said these rules only came to light on her first day on the floor, after she had already been hired and gone through training.

In the video, Jos said that Starbucks does not allow employees to have nails, fake nails, nail polish, or clear nail polish while clocked in. She also said employees cannot wear an Apple Watch on the job. “I was not married when I worked there,” she said, “but there were coworkers who were married and they were not even allowed to wear their wedding rings on the floor. They had to fight for it.”
