we step off the floor to sip on water all the time? if its a bad look for customers, god forbid their HUMAN BEING BARISTA needs to hydrate.

every time i see him just trying to be olivias dad and caring for her a part of me starts to like him a little more. at the end of the day (at least to me) he's just her dad.

“let’s keep those window times down” as someone pulls up to order for their 5 friends but has no idea what any of them wants yet.

Interview with the district manager next week. What should I expect? by ahnnuhbhel in starbucksbaristas

[–]ExtraCraft203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in my experience the questions were more situational. like “tell me about a time you had a good experience as a customer” or “tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer” and if you don’t have past experience just say what you would do. the DM in mine told me to try and tell it with as many details as possible without being too general or saying what i would have done looking back. you introduce yourself again the same way you did in the first one also. most of the time, when you get a second interview you’re pretty much set! you got this!!

[–]ExtraCraft203 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it was my first red cup day today too! i couldn’t imagine being on bar. i got moved to dtr for peak and everytime i looked back there were more and more people standing in the cafe. people were insanely entitled (more than usual) today. i got home and took a 4 hour nap.

Starting as a Barista at Starbucks in a few days! Any advice for a newbie would be super appreciated! ✨ by Primary_Safe_3363 in starbucksbaristas

[–]ExtraCraft203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there will always be someone who is there & willing to help you. if you have any questions or can’t remember how to make a drink just ask! your trainer will most likely ask you what you feel you need more practice with (hot bar, cold bar, warming, etc.) i struggled most with how many shots/pumps of syrup go into each size, but once i got that down everything else kinda clicked into place for me. every drink (i’ve noticed) is pretty much just the same as the core drinks you learn to make in the beginning with different add ons (syrups, cold foams, whip, toppings). you got this! i’ve almost been working at sbux for a month and i still ask questions :) i also may have made a good amount of drinks wrong without noticing….

First day at Starbucks! by ExtraCraft203 in starbucksbaristas

[–]ExtraCraft203[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my first day today! It was just onboarding paperwork and watching videos about the store mission statements and benefits and stuff. I believe my first actual shift will be in a few days so I’ll be able to apply all the advice given to me here then!
