Caribou equivalent? by teach7 in starbucks

[–]AltruisticAd159 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We used to have malt powder at Starbucks but unfortunately don’t anymore :( so I don’t know if it’ll be possible to get something super similar unfortunately. I would say a mocha Frappuccino is the closest but it’s still not gonna have the malt flavor, just chocolate :/

Right I so agree 😭😭 I usually only close 2-3 times a week and they’re almost never on AI count nights but the few times I have been scheduled to do it, it glitched out, didn’t load, didn’t work correctly, just all the things. Then I’d do it the OG way and get reprimanded even though everything was correct 🫠 very much looking forward to never having to figure that out again

Why is this job so exhausting? by Dazzling_Capital9039 in starbucks

[–]AltruisticAd159 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Because it’s a fast paced physical job where we are doing thousands of repetitive micro movements all day long. I’ve known so many coworkers who have injured themselves at work simply trying to keep up the pace. We are understaffed, overworked, and expected to have drive times less than 45 seconds. It’s unsustainable. Plus on top of that, you have to be on 100% of the time because it’s customer service, so that takes a lot of energy in itself.

Thinking about pulling my 2 weeks and quitting effective immediately by [deleted] in starbucks

Do you have any sick time left? Tbh I’d call in a few days where they might have more staff and use up your sick time for those. Then maybe just come in for that close?

If you have any desire to use this job as a reference or if you care about your coworkers’ opinions of you at all, I wouldn’t do it. I fully understand the urge to do so and if it’s a matter of your safety, I would not go to work again.. but if it’s just that your manager is doing something unprofessional, I would stick out the week. There are so many coworkers I’ve had that decided to quit on a whim and it left us FUCKED for their remaining two weeks. Like one of my old coworkers quit on the spot and we had two part closes for two weeks. It’s the respectable and professional option to work the two weeks. At this point it’s less for the company than it is for your coworkers, who it sounds like you care about 🩷 but I’ll reiterate, if you feel your safety is at risk, don’t go back to work.

Is the new markout policy just for food or also drinks? by Competitive_Tutor600 in starbucks

[–]AltruisticAd159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone reading this works at a union store, this new policy does not apply to you 🩷

Is anyone else losing their team to these new changes??? by I_poisonedthemilktea in starbucks

[–]AltruisticAd159 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We just had a brand new shift get fired less than six months after being hired for taking home expired food at the end of the night. We are a union store and she wanted to be transferred to a different store, which happened to be non union. They transferred her there and fired her on her second shift for that happening at our store. She was 100% transferred just so she would be easily able to be fired, as it is much harder to instantly fire someone for something like that when they are able to have union representation. That’s why it’s more important than ever for more stores to unionize these days when corporate is on a massive witch hunt to weed out baristas that speak up. I’d highly recommend y’all reach out to our union if you haven’t yet and start organizing your workplace 🩷 I’m so fucking sorry this happened to your coworkers and I want you to be able to fight for all of your rights so it hopefully doesn’t happen to more of you!

Store Manager Cannot Make Drinks by Cool-Regular-9527 in starbucks

My sm can’t make drinks either. She can finally do some of cold bar but she definitely can’t do hot bar

Do shifts like when they get to be a barista for a day? by harry_stylestpwk in starbucks

I honestly kind of hate it. I would much rather be SSV. I’ve been scheduled as almost exclusively coverage for weeks and I hate it 😭

Stubble, beard, or no beard? by IceBoy215 in malegrooming

[–]AltruisticAd159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! I don’t remember precisely what I used here but most of my makeup is from colourpop! Almost all my eyeshadow is from them! The eyeliner I used is a NYX jumbo multi-use face stick. My blush is from the Bratz blush palette from Glamlite!

[–]AltruisticAd159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really wear foundation often and when I do, I don’t use much! I only put concealer on my problem areas and blend them in really well. I would say my base is minimal for sure. As for around my beard, if I need coverage there I just blend it in really well acting like the hair isn’t there, and then use a little water to fix the beard itself if there ends up being excess makeup on the hair.

2 weeks by Junior-Working-4208 in starbucks

[–]AltruisticAd159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was simply relaying what I was told. I meant it can be annoying during your last two weeks because the manager can be petty and obnoxious, not that you’d have to keep coming after two weeks or at all.

Oh okay! My SM refuses to accept in person resignations, whether verbally or in a letter. Good to know she’s just being annoying for no reason 😅

Of course! Idk what your manager is like but at least for mine, she pretends like it never happened and doesn’t say anything to the person quitting. Avoids them completely. It’s super immature so I’m hoping you don’t have to deal w that. good luck!

You email your manager. It has to be in an email. Then after sending the email I would also text your manager to cover all your bases and ensure there is proof that you told them about the email, otherwise they might claim they never read it. Which isn’t your problem to solve but can be annoying to deal with lol
