A number of netizens claiming to be Starbucks employees recently spoke out on social platforms, saying that they are under a lot of pressure in the process of selling Starbucks mooncakes, and that they have even paid out of their own pockets to buy mooncakes. Some IP shows that many netizens in Hunan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, etc. have posted posts on social media. Some claim that they are part-time employees of Starbucks college students. Due to the store's Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake sales task, they were “forced to pack 15 boxes”, amounting to nearly 3,000 yuan, making living expenses tight. Other netizens also claimed that they had been asked to sell 20 sets of mooncakes just two months after entering the job. Because they had just graduated and had limited connections, they were scolded against them for not selling. They had already raised several thousand of their own, and they didn't know how to “return blood.” In response to this, Starbucks China responded by saying, “We are verifying the situation described by netizens. Starbucks does not allow the act of making an advance to buy one's own; this is a matter of principle. In addition, Starbucks mooncakes receive a lot of attention every year after they go on sale, and we also invite customers to buy our mooncakes through official channels to protect their rights and interests.”
