I am willing to bet they remove the Partner number by the time it goes national.

I def. think you're in a new POS zone.... the reciepts I print out still look like your old-style ones.

I am equally disturbed by having name and partner number on the same line. I'm ok with the partner number somewhere ELSE - where it's less likely to be associated with the partner's name... I realize there are times when management or corporate might need the number rather than the name (though, now that I think about it - store # and name should be enough to ID who the partner is - unless you happen to have 4 Steves working at the same store or something) but having them tied together makes it easy for someone who knows what they're doing to do some localized ID theft. Not ok.

I'll be watching for this - if it's that way when it hits my store... I'm going to find someone to complain to.

@Anonymous...If that indeed in the Partner number, I agree, that's not a good thing! What the hell is wrong with this company? As you said..."not cool".

Having the baristas name on the receipt bothers me. And that's definitely his partner number next to his name. Not cool.

Hi Chris, This is a very interesting find. The most bothersome part is why did they change the name from "Starbucks Coffee Co" to just "Starbucks"??? Hmm??? Is this the beginning of a sale or buyout?? Which I'm positive is not far away. Everything this company is doing in terms of their business model points that way. But only time will tell.
BTW.. I checked my receipt from today and it looks like your older one dated 12/24. I wonder if there is a new POS system rolling out? I will keep an eye on my receipts and let you know of any changes.
Great Find!!! You are so observant! LOL!
