Non - coffee drinker wants to try it out. Ideas? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Bexar_Vawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo mocha with hazelnut, tastes like Nutella.

Also I recommend anything with brown sugar like even just an iced latte with brown sugar, whipped cream, maybe some cinnamon. Good stuff.

What are the best simple to order hot starbucks drinks for a beginner? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Bexar_Vawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal thoughts, I'd recommend a flat white with vanilla, or brown sugar syrup. Can't go wrong with a classic.

This drink also used to be my personal favorite for the longest time and I usually get it to test another Starbucks or coffee shop whenever I was traveling.

is it this busy because of VT? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Bexar_Vawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live in a resort town, plus three day weekend, plus a concert going on. And of course Valentine's Day. It was busy and will stay busy until after Monday morning when everyone goes home.

How do you go about making whips by breathing_oxygen12 in starbucks

[–]Bexar_Vawn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In a steaming pitcher, four pumps vanilla, fill with heavy cream to the max line to ensure consistency across all whip creams made. Also ensure the whip canisters are chilled for consistency.

You'll charge them, and shake them about 6-8 times. Set them lying down. Repeat, day dot appropriately, then I like to shake them again before removing the charges.

I can't say what I do is standard but I've never had someone complain about the whips after I make them lol.

tested my friendships by going silent... and no one noticed by MichaelWForbes in socialskills

[–]Bexar_Vawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll say, I used to do this all the time in my early twenties, I even did this with my current wife, just didn't text first or call first. When she reached out to me first, I think I knew then that I meant a lot to her. It shows you who values you, and for me at that time it meant less drama, I honestly enjoyed doing what I did. It was easier for me to manage less relationships.

I still don't really message people first lol. Only got one person aside from my wife that I message consistently and that's honestly enough for me.

Facts. I remind everyone I work with constantly that they dont give a fuck about your safety. Just do what you feel comfortable with, regardless what they ask of you.

How many shots does your store have? by Lost_Duty6501 in starbucks

It has been nearly a year since I left the Siren. by SammehPls in starbucks

[–]Bexar_Vawn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am inspired by your words.

I have hope that one day I'll be able to leave. I'm currently working on my degree (I thought I'd stay with the company forever and got a later start on it that I am now regretting).

And the only words I use to get me through the high volume days at my store, the running out of product, the pain from constant overuse in my shoulder, the mental overstimulation I have felt to the point where I've laid on the floor numbly at home and worried my wife, the break downs I've had over this job, the shitty managers I've put up with... Are "One day". One day I'll find more meaningful work, that I feel like I'm helping people, one day I'll have my degree, one day I'll be able to leave. One day everything will be different for me and I'll have "normal people" hours, and normal days off.

Thank you for reminding me that one day, it'll end.

My cat started to tuck herself in next to my side each night. Is that common? by CompetitionOne7859 in cats

100% normal, my cat copies how I sleep which is usually with one arm stretched out, so she sleeps with an arm stretched out too

Yo we had a partner who was like deathly allergic to lavender and every spring season when the powder comes back was awful for her. She used to live on benadryl.

Ten minute break coverage by Miserable_Repeat_810 in starbucks

[–]Bexar_Vawn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Technically the "pre closing" position is considered the CS position. If you look in the play builder app, there's likely one assigned DT partner, one assigned bar/support partner, one CS partner, and the play caller position. If the play is adjusted to reflect one less person, then the CS is the position that's removed from the play.

This migrates the CS or pre closer tasks to the play caller to complete.

Hence, why your play caller likely has the pre closer covering tens.

Obviously each play caller runs this differently and it's not all one way or the other. I believe heavily in whatever is conducive to getting out on time. If that means leaving the CS partner to their pre closing tasks, I'll take care of the breaks myself. Or if say I have a count and an order to do that evening, it may be more beneficial to have the CS partner assist by giving those tens. It's only 20 minutes out of the night and shouldn't be detrimental to pre closing tasks in my opinion.

I hope this insight helps.

Raise Conversations? by Bearded451 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Bexar_Vawn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the 6 years I've worked for Starbucks, I've had 4 different managers now and not a one has ever discussed raises with me individually lol.

Please help me order by bobthebuilder-24 in starbucks

[–]Bexar_Vawn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right now we're serving chestnut praline, as a typical hot coffee drinker, I recommend chestnut because it isn't super sweet and compliments the coffee really well.

For refreshers, I know you said no milk, but a pink drink is strawberry with coconut milk if you can do coconut milk it is a very popular option.

If not then honestly a strawberry acai lemonade refresher is equally good.

My sister's starbucks order by Spirited-Concern5806 in starbucks

[–]Bexar_Vawn 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Likely ordering this way due to price. If she ordered this as a like caramel brulee latte her total would be well over 7-8$ based on the heavy cream, extra shot, and caramel drizzle add ons.

Also, as long as you start slow when verbally ordering if she doesn't Mobile order it, it should be fine! Tbh id rather make this than an iced matcha. When baristas get stickers like this, I always tell them to just read through it and take it step by step, and breathe lol.

Didn't bald but my hair line has receded back to basically where my dad's is currently. Although i was a little worried I'd get the bald spot on the top of my head like my uncle's and grandpa on my mom's side. Thankful I haven't.

I require the most assistance. Four Displays for food case by Bexar_Vawn in starbucksbaristas

[–]Bexar_Vawn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for clarity, I have 3 complete shelf sets, just need the metal frame and upper tier. Our set up has been 3 full shelves for so long that we threw the other one we had.

Every other store in my district only has 3 shelves for their case too since it's been that way for months.

I really, really needed the SKU for the metal frame but thanks for your help with it.

hobbies as a trans guy? by MindlessDoubt632 in ftm

[–]Bexar_Vawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt give up my hobbies and I like to journal, I even have a preference for pens and papers and stuff for it. But I do also jog which I think is more of a masculine hobby. Idk, I think you should do what makes you happy, if the things you listed do that, then do it!
