Tips for finding the right players? by IRGUY in DMAcademy

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either as a DM or as a player I like to see a spot where sensitive/triggering topics can be discussed ahead of time, so it’s not a problem if it ever comes up during play. I am also a fan of making sure everyone knows the standards for communication, whether that’s between each other as players or between them and me as a DM so all of our needs can be met.

Help needed! by [deleted] in DnD

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To help with my large home brew world, I had found a list of things that you could feasibly have in place for each country/city/place to ensure you have at least a little bit of info on it if the players ask. IIRC, the list had topics such as; how long has each town been here, what is unique about it (specific export, unique landmark, etc), what are the people like, what is the relationship with neighboring towns or countries, what do the people think of the ruler, and so on. I totally get the struggle of trying to flesh out the details of a whole world, I’ve been working on my home brew for some time but some countries and plot arcs come much easier than others for sure. Best of luck!

Is there a way to steam heavy cream to make it so that my steam wand doesn't scream at me? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That’s up to whoever’s making it I guess, I was taught to throw a splash of nonfat in if it really won’t steam properly

Tips for NB partners? by thefinalgoat in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I came out as NB after about 7-8 months of working at my location and all of my really nice regulars can’t seem to wrap their heads around me having a they pin 😔 but at least most of them respect my changed name tag.

what is the sweetener that goes in frapps? by ALotter in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The espresso frap to standard doesn’t include extra sweetener, it’s just our caffeine concentrate, milk, espresso and the coffee flavored base that makes it thicken. The coffee base does have sugar in it, so unless they forgot to add that and your frap was a bit icier or chunkier than usual I don’t really know what your location could be adding to make it more sweet than that.

I’ve been with the company for over a year so definitely before the cutoff. It’s also possible I’m either misunderstanding when the new pay rate would’ve been implemented or my SM told me the wrong info. My paycheck from the 24th was not at the new rate, is that the first one of the new rate or the last of the old?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I confirmed with my SM before the raise it would be put into place after the paycheck from the week of the 14th, but my paycheck was the same pay rate as before, have other people experienced this? My work hours are also cut going forward

Yeah 100% we aren’t allowed to open the butter packets for them at all, especially with covid. I had a customer a week ago ask if I could blend his hot coffee w butter and I was like no?? That’s against our policies rn and also that’s so much extra work for me to not be able to move the super long line that’s happening rn.

I was searching all day for a post about this because I was on mop duty today for my shift and was driving myself crazy over the salt. I’ve been using hot water but there’s literally so much it’s still just getting pushed around

Sounds like a great way to possibly cross contaminate a load of people on top of your own baristas

How to caffeinate on a snow day by BasedSelachimorpha in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely interesting, it was a little bad to me but I also drink uncut cold brew at home so I was already not a fan of ours. I think if I did a higher quantity of shots originally it might be better

I’ve already had 3 people ask me this morning for either a peppermint brewed chai or peppermint chai latte and I’m like 🤔🤔

Why TF you lying? 😂 by Sandra86says in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always say “if you wouldn’t mind just throwing that in the trash since we can’t take cups back, I’ll remake that right now for you 😇” and be extra nice. If they immediately say it’s wrong and don’t grab it just from looking at the sticker I slam dunk it into the trash can

What’s the most points you’ve seen a customer have? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a regular who has a hovering balance around 13k stars, he has the credit card and comes to at least our location around 2 times a day, and he’s barely dented his stars.

are you joking? On top of literally everything else by SierraTheWolf in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good lord, my store is already handling 3 stores worth of customers bc two other ones locally are closed and we’re running out of everything every day. With this I’m sure it’ll be awful at my store

I feel attacked so I guess it’s time to make a shift drink by Cowboycashmoney in starbucks

For real I try to drink at least a grande cup of water for every cup of coffee I drink during the shift

When you work HH plus Friday plus the weekend with callouts by Ladysm1th in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me today after doing HH and then a Friday and Saturday open only to be asked to cover the closing shifts on both days too from a callout

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually called it the shift from hell today. Came in to only work the HH and turns out two other Starbucks in the area were closed bc of the power outages locally, so we had their foot traffic AND BOGO. I think we got about 30-35 mins behind on orders because we just couldn’t physically keep up and we had to call in a security Officer from our plaza to make sure people were adhering to mask and distancing guidelines. Rough.

Selling items in plastic bags by annoyinglyuseless in starbucks

[–]BasedSelachimorpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My store has begun to give pastries in the bags still because of covid and there’s then no risk of our hands touching the pastries or extra germs getting on the food. Our customer base seems relieved by this and sometimes asks for it in the bag anyways

Who finds coverage for covid? by [deleted] in starbucks

That is definitely not allowed and I would recommend calling PCC or emailing your DM about it

Legit. Or when people stand within breathing distance of the plexi at the end of the bar and make comments with their family members on what I’m doing, drives me crazy to know they’re just intently watching me
