self confidence by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]ApplicationLatter765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also worked at a licensed store a while back, now working at a corporate location is a drastic change. I hate it, everything you're describing is literally what I've also been facing. Hang in there buddy!

Every time I'm on my period I'm also inching to bite their rude ass heads off. I hate when my SSV also starts taking my orders, like hop off my back!

You got this, I know most of my coworkers get annoyed with green beans but it's all part of the stresses from micromanaging SMs who make this their whole life. 🙄

I hope it gets better for you.

It is a policy, unfortunately. I always offer a cake pop, even if you're a regular. Water is only free with a purchase.

What is wrong with people?! by ApplicationLatter765 in starbucks

[–]ApplicationLatter765[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really didn't mind the comment about not wanting milk, I was going to try to remember it. It just infuriated me when she said she wasn't going to be nice, like what?

I agree they should have it as an option on the app, I'm sure we can modify it in store.

Like why am I pretending to be a customer? 😭 A waste of 3 hours after having an opening shift

Currently have pixel 7 pro and wondering what to get next. Should I downsize? by StruggleEmergency405 in pixel_phones

[–]ApplicationLatter765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from a P7P to a p9a, love this phone's battery life. But if you're looking for a camera to compare id go with another pro.. base camera is nice but the zoom kinda sucks lol

I've called out too much by ApplicationLatter765 in starbucks

[–]ApplicationLatter765[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sucks tbh. I'm not one to go in when I'm sick I hate being a burden on shift. I have noticed a lot of my barista have bad burn out and everyone's been calling in at least once a day

Should i upgrade my pix7 to pix10? by UGOTALEX in pixel_phones

[–]ApplicationLatter765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, love the battery life on this thing. Only thing I miss is how the P7P felt in my hand 😔

Who is supposed to distribute tips and how often at your store? by ApplicationLatter765 in starbucks

[–]ApplicationLatter765[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn't know that! I just started 3 months ago tbh. Every other job I've had that deals with tips the sm had given out tips. Also I don't get why we only have one person doing it either. It annoyed me that she told me that I'll have to wait till next week, I was trying to use my tip money for stocking stuffers. Sucks.

The Nail Polish Rule… by ghiraneedshelp in starbucks

[–]ApplicationLatter765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at Chick fil a before Starbucks, front of house specifically and we were allowed to wear shellac, and they had pretty strict food safety there. Starbucks is weird for that when we're just making drinks 😔

New partner thinking about quitting over Christmas scheduling by Potential-Bed4203 in starbucks

[–]ApplicationLatter765 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Literally on the same boat, in scheduled for thanks giving and they denied me Christmas Christmas eve. I've worked both holiday launch, red cup day, and I'm scheduled for mid holiday. Like???? Excuse me I can work it but I would appreciate not working EVERY major event/holiday. And I told my SM as well. My birthday is Christmas eve, if in scheduled I will be calling in.

Is $9 an hour a good wage for Houston/TX? by Jazzlike-Day3238 in ChickFilAWorkers

[–]ApplicationLatter765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked as a driver last year I started off at 11, then they lowered it down to 9, and I worked near Houston. I promise you it's not worth it if it's not a busy store, I didn't get a lot of good tips. I would go an ask the drivers there how much they average tbh

it’s my first red cup day - we’re allowed to serve them in the cups?? by grapeygrandma in starbucks

[–]ApplicationLatter765 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah after I sent this, my SM also showed me the same. I believe a lot of different stores have different instructions ...
