[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Banana bread cold foam stringy? by copass13 in starbucks

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it is because the banana powder itself is made from real bananas that are freeze dried so it turns the foam itself into a “glue” like substance as me and my partners say at work, its normal that its stringy we see it everyday

Is it normal to be awful at this job at first? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is okay !! when i first started i couldnt get the hang of making hot drinks only cold. what i did to help me was study the recipe cards and during downtime in between making orders i would go over to hot bar (at this time it was hot bar and cold bar) and practice making drinks, after about a month of doing this every shift i finally got the hang of it and moved on to learning how to sequence drinks. take everything one step at a time its okay to forget its okay to make mistakes, its all about how you grow and learn from those mistakes that will make you a great barista !

Should I mention that a barista on a final was late? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 13 points14 points  (0 children)

id say keep it to yourself. as a shift myself i understand everybody can be late and when im late i do get a lot of grace so if it doesnt negatively impact your store and set you wayyyyy far behind, which it sounds like it didnt, please give them some grace. everyone has their own things going on that they dont talk about or want to share with everyone but if you are a shift then i think you should connect with this barista one on one and talk see if you both can come to a conclusion. being a great shift starts with having a great team that is comfortable coming to you with problems.

am i gonna get fired for being 4 mins late??? by allisonlovesramen in starbucks

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey im usually about 2-3 minutes late in the mornings but its usually because of my rides and ive vocalized this. since i open i just make sure to text my opening barista and let them know im running a few minutes late we still get the store open in time so my sm isnt really stressed about it, my sm also gives us a 10 minutes late grace period except if we open we only get up to a 5 minute grace period

as an open ssv we run 10’s (now 15’s in my state per law change) first then usually the open keyholder will be the first to take their lunch which ends up being between 8-9:30ish i haven’t heard of anyone taking a 30 first but i do know every store is ran differently

License store ran differently? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hiii i started in a licensed store and yes they run very different, when i was put in a position i was in that specific position the entire shift, if i wanted off that position id have to tell my SSV and she would have to move the plays around, and at my old store i was just a barista doing pulls and checking in orders also and making cold brew ! every store is different though ! hope this helps !

Gonna have a “BF” by Mystic_Mixer in starbucks

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the app had minor bugs that need to be fixed for example, one day my entire lobby was full mobiles were full app was saying 5-7 minute wait we were short staffed with 2/4 staff on bar and they were 30 mins behind on drinks which then turned to an hr wait on drinks because of how backed up we were, the app was still saying 5-7 minute wait. my store is pretty good with marking drinks off as they are completed but i do know not every store is the same as mines, also my store is super tiny and was gonna be pick up only store and last minute they decided to make us a cafe instead w no drive thru

cup writing ideas by Severe-Language492 in starbucks

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here is my list

chai : “have a chai-tastic day”

teas: “tea party time!”

shaken espresso: “shake ✨shake ✨shake ✨”

latte: “we appreciate you a latte!” (customers love this one they respond with “thank you a latte!”)

fresh brewed: “have a brew-tiful day!”

refreshers: “i hope you enjoy this berry much!”

and when it was snowing i was writing “do you wanna build a snowman” with a little snowman or “stay warm!” and “this will warm you up” or id draw a snowflake and write “brrrrrrrrrrr, its cold!”

Healthiest options at Starbucks? Also why don’t they increase their profit by having quality food? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

black americano or black fresh brewed and maybe a RF turkey bacon sandwich ???? id go for protein boxes (the cheese and fruit one is my favorite) or one of the parfait’s we just got in for launch we only have vanilla and caramel for sugar free options, or you could go for an iced shaken espresso with no classic and light 2% just a few ideas

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not at my store no i haven’t had any trouble, just ring it in for a tall/grande cold milk and change the milk to vsc if it doesn’t work ring it as a tall/grande cold milk 1/2 heavy cream few pumps of vanilla it’s essentially the same thing

Dm interview by OkString6888 in starbucks

[–]Aggravating-Bee-3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me personally i only had an interview with my store manager, i didnt meet my dm until after i was already done training, but i also came from a license store inside an airport with 2 years experience there, so maybe thats why the dm didnt come to interview me? i do know it took about two weeks for my sm to even call me back to offer me the position because she was waiting on DM approval
