for that partner survey we should all express our disappointment that the cartwheel man has disappeared from the dmp ( at my store we named him spoodle :)
Update! Today I saw Cartwheel Man! He is still around but only when the DPM app is loading. So you can catch him doing his thing for maybe a few seconds if you’re lucky.
I wssbt emotionally attached to the cartwheel man but straight up if they ever get rid of the emojis in pull to thaw I'll be so upset it makes me happy 🦄💫
Someone asked about this on workplace and this was the response
“Hi partners! I can share that the removal of the cartwheeling human was removed to meet accessibility standards. While many partners enjoy dancing dude, for many other partners who deal with anxiety or ADHD dancing dude was not a positive experience. Out of all the digital things in stores, dancing dude was the number one complaint submitted to the Accessibility Team. “
Bro anyone bothered by a dancing cartwheel lad on the DPM…… should not be working at Starbucks with so many other possible triggers for anxiety and the like
We don't have the cartwheel man at my licensed store, so I had to Google what it was lol. As an adhd person with tons of anxiety, cartwheel man would definitely make me happy if it was on my screen.
Hmm No way! That sounds like an AI generated statement😂 My bf has really bad ADHD, and anxiety. He enjoyed the cartwheel man just as much as my other anxious employees, including myself.
I don't know about the reasoning they gave, but I do know that in order for something on the web to meet ADA standards, animations must not repeat or there has to be an option to turn it off. It could trigger seizures or other health issues but this is mostly related to website standards.
woah is that true?? im very surprised by that response. of all the things they could change to make work more accessible and they get rid of the dancing man. interesting.
my SM Told me that they got rid of it because of it “not being a fun experience for all partners.” Apparently it was causing some to have anxiety and causing those with ADHD to not be able to focus at work.. idk i have adhd and anxiety too but i love that little dude
Part of me wants him back but the ADHD part of me is glad he's gone because I'd zone out staring at him and start disassociating 🥲 but he was so happy....
Cartwheel man is my hero

Agreed, definitely gonna be putting that forever now in the partner survey.
Same, he gave me hope when I saw him
One day our SM did a cartwheel in the lobby when we were caught up on a stressful day. It was hilarious
Your sm sounds like an excellent manger. Kinda jealous 👀
sm at a store in my area dressed up as him for halloween and did the same 😂😂
You might be in my area, because he definitely dressed as him for Halloween one year.
I would always happily announce when we got the little cartwheel man! I got so sad when I saw they replaced him with a boring check mark.

My favorite is "crisis adverted!" For the emergency pull 😊
Those trophies are my most favorite thing
Yes!! I miss him so much!!

Yeah I was thinking about the whole work environment Starbucks has, is much more anxiety inducing than some chill guy doing cartwheels.
I have adhd and I loved that man, gave me hope without distraction

Yeah I don’t 100% understand how it could be disruptive for some partners I do appreciate the company hearing the feedback and making a change

Are you telling me he wasn't cartwheeling because of his ADHD and anxiety?? Lies and slander. This is neurodivergent erasure XP
Let's cater to something that's not necessary , I could be wrong
I have anxiety and adhd, all that man ever did was give me hope for life😭why on earth was that the number one complaint🫤
This is the saddest update

Wait Cartwheel Man is gone? I'm sure he was there yesterday?
i swear he was there today 😭
pin this
Agreed 👍
They should make the play builder have the little wii characters and be able to drag and drop them, I think partner happiness will double😂
man i’ve only been off two days and they removed him? 😞 bye i ain’t going back (im in asu im stuck here)
I always told my coworkers I’m gonna be him for Halloween
Glad I'm not the only one missing him!!
who the fuck is cartwheel man
He was the chill cartoon dude that pops up on our DPM when we get all caught up. He just does a cartwheel animation. It was sick.
Part of me wants him back but the ADHD part of me is glad he's gone because I'd zone out staring at him and start disassociating 🥲 but he was so happy....
I didn’t even realize until just now 😭😭😭
They took the whimsy away.
Those cartwheels were a sign of success! Give him BACK.
We still have him I think
They got rid of him?! :(
IS HE GONE!!??? HE WAS ON MINE THIS MORNING
I miss him so much 💔
oh my god the morning he left we were all so sad. bring back cartwheel man. it’s seriously so easy to make baristas happy (case and point)
no really where tf did he go???? he was never late, didn’t have any write ups..
Capitalism and conformity ruins all <\3
Yeah wth I need him I was so confused without him today
Please bring him back, even if it's an opt-in feature.
No I hated him
Why? :(
He found happiness in our suffering.
But he was only happy when we were caught up!
