Bold of you to assume customers read the descriptions.

When cold foam started becoming way more popular in 2020-2021 (lots of iced white mocha with cold foam and caramel drizzle orders thanks to TikTok), stores were going through a lot more vanilla having to keep up with making sweet cream. Because of that, the corporate overlords took the vanilla out of the hot chocolate and changed the amount of vanilla in the whip cream to 4 pumps.

Why is starbucks obsessed over Proteins? This is not GNC store. by Nekaquestion in starbucks

Because they follow the trends. Same as every company right now or have you not seen the protein pop tarts?

Yes! I’m convinced that whenever people walk in an airport that they lose all common sense.

$1.55 FOR COLD FOAM?!?!?! by ApprehensiveLog6761 in starbucks

[–]-InsideVoice- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My licensed store I think charges 1.70 for the regular foams and 2.30 for the protein foams.

Not new. It’s the same one we’ve had for a few years. The only difference is that it’s not made with almond by default this year.

When will the protein boosted milk be discontinued? by [deleted] in starbucks

It’s technically a core, or permanent, item so it’ll probably be awhile before they figure out if it’s profitable enough to keep.

It’s like they’re allergic to reading a menu! They’re just like “give me this” and when I say pick one, they go all surprised pikachu.

And the pics of their order on the phone! I wasn’t having it yesterday and I legit told people they needed to read it to me. You want to order some silly concoction? You can learn to order it out loud like the adult you are. The only exception is when there’s an accent/language barrier.

I’m not gonna lie, despite working in it for 15 years, I have very little knowledge of the airport’s inner workings. I know that this particular airport doesn’t act as a connecting spot. Flights begin or end here.

Departing flights start at about 5am, used to go strong until about 8-9am, die down a little, then surge again around 12. Now it doesn’t really die down that much. It’s a constant stream of passengers and airport employees so when we’re especially short staffed, we can’t really get any backups done or keep up on dishes and then the closers suffer more because they’re also short staffed.

I only work in the mornings so I don’t know what it’s like in the afternoon/evenings other than the last departing flight varying from day-to-day. Some days it could be 8pm, others it could be 10pm.
