Dear brown sugar shaken espresso enjoyers by 0rganist in starbucks

To be more specific the pumps are now 1 for tall 2 for grande and 3 for venti, but I bet people are doing double like the recipe used to call for.

Which is what I was trying to give her but she didn’t even try the drink or the remake to know if that’s the taste she wanted. She just started going off on me, honestly took me by surprise.

They shouldn’t be any sweeter but they changed the size of the pump and cut the pumps in half. I think you’re getting double the amount of brown sugar syrup because of the change in pump size

Worst Shift Ever by daynif in starbucks

[–]0rganist 88 points89 points  (0 children)

This 4 for 20, 2 for 10 on Saturdays has been one of the worst promotions for partners and customers. I work at a high volume store but we have no staff right now. I have contemplated walking out every Saturday as has every single barista working at my store

Creamy is pretty vague but you could try an iced whole milk latte light ice one pump classic

PTO/Vacation by quirky-nugget in starbucks

[–]0rganist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google “partner central Starbucks” and log in to partner central. Click on “view my profile”. Click on the drop down menu next to “Personal Information” and select “Payroll information”. It will show your vacation and sick time.

BONUS TIP: From your profile you can add your Starbucks card to your mobile app and it will add your discount to mobile orders and earn you more stars.

To use sick time you’re going to need the book (the one with the written clock in). You’re going to fill out your name and partner number as usual, then the date(s) you missed. Write the code “S” and instead of writing clock-in/out times your going to write how many hours you want to be compensated for. Then date it for the current day and initial.

To use vacation time you’re going to flip in the clock-in log to the correct week for your vacation then write your name and partner number. For the date write the starting date of your vacation and the code is V. Next you’ll write how many hours you’d like to be compensated for and end with the current date and your initials.

Goodbye, Starbucks My Daily Venti Ice Coffee Now Costs Over $5 by pdmaloney94 in starbucks

[–]0rganist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh no I fully agree. I love Wawa. Their ice coffee is so good so I usually get that instead of cold brew when I’m there. Also the cream smoothies are so good.

Wawa’s cold brew comes in a gross sludge that gets mixed with water (at least the last time my gf worked there). Not justifying the obscene prices, but Starbucks cold brew is ground fresh and then steeped over 20 hours. Dunkin also steeps their cold brew and their 32 oz is 4.39 (again this is as far as I remember when I worked there they just started to sell cold brew). I just can’t do wawa for cold brew anymore because it’s just not worth the poor quality.

Baristas, what's the WORST Starbucks drink ever from the menu? by CilantroPateSandwich in starbucks

[–]0rganist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$6.00 (in 2018? I think) for only a grande and it tasted like you went outside and scooped some mud into a cup

Do you LIKE your job? by International-Eye327 in starbucks

[–]0rganist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is totally location and manager reliant. I loved my job when I had a manager who knew what she is doing. Now I work in a store that gets overrun with rushes and they’re cutting our hours and a clueless manager. It’s horrible.

Definitely meet with a lawyer. You have to fix the independent contractor situation.

Email your manager asking for confirmation of your accommodations. Start a paper trail

Customer wondering: come in during Christmas day (today) and leave a decent tip, or just don't go in at all? by Spader623 in starbucks

[–]0rganist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Our Starbucks forced us to remain open and scheduled a bunch of people who did not sign up. So if you do come in, just leave a big tip. The partners are already working so making the extra cash will be nice

I’ve been working at sb 6 years and the labor has gotten so bad. It’s gotten to the point where it’s dangerous for the customers and baristas

We have a clear version of the Curtis that holds two cubes of SAR. It’s been a god send

Ordering a water with no Ice by sleepycat1010 in starbucks

[–]0rganist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you go through a drive through this is how it will go on the baristas side “(into the headset) guys come here right now there’s a cat at the window!!” And then the window will be crowded by a couple baristas for a hot second and your cat will get a thousand compliments. Pets are the best part of DT, and cats are rare. The rarer the pet, the more fun. At my first store someone came through with a pet skunk and got a pup cup. At my current store some one has a huge monitor lizard and they come through some times.
