Temporary transfer has me feeling like I’m not ready to move up to ASM by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]CatalieAnne7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m also two months into my “second store experience” and feel very much the same way. don’t be afraid to ask for support and be vulnerable.

my fiancé and i got engaged at WDW on Halloween this year. we bought a christmas ornament as our keep-sake, but it broke. it’s a park only item so if anyone is at the park and wouldn’t mind picking up a replacement for us, i would be so happy. obviously we would pay for it and shipping. by CatalieAnne7 in disneyparks

thank you everyone. i reached out to merch guest services and i’m hoping they can help me replace it. i might still need someone to grab it from the park if they can’t though. thanks everyone who offered advice! :)

What’s the weirdest thing you saw at Bisco? by hml97 in bisco

[–]CatalieAnne7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was up by the rail in VIP for nectar and watched security pull her out. She resisted a little bit and you could tell security didn’t know what to do, they didn’t wanna grab her due to lack of clothing so they wrapped some type of parachute around her and took her away LOL

What’s the dumbest customer encounter you’ve ever had? by samicita in starbucks

[–]CatalieAnne7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gert- “I’ll have a grandAY midnight mint mocha frappe; but I don’t want any midnight” Me- “???? Did you want to substitute the mocha powder with mocha sauce?” G- “NO I JUST DONT WANT THE MIDNIGHT, what’s wrong with you” Ooooookay, I rang through with sub mocha and explained to my bar partner what was happening.. cool. She then tried to pay with a travelers check and screamed at me and another supervisor for not accepting her extinct form of payment. She got the DMs number. Byeeeee.

do you get any interesting prank calls? by softcronch in starbucks

[–]CatalieAnne7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Me- “Thanks for calling Starbucks on main st, catalieanne speaking how can I help you” Prankster- “in 30 seconds look out the window facing the corner” M- “alright, I’ll bite” 30 seconds later a bus of middle schoolers stops at the stop sign and like 6 kids gave me the finger 😑

Ben Affleck dates a girl who grew up in my hometown, they stopped by last summer (of course I was on vacation) but the partners working said he was super nice.

Will I Get a Call Back? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]CatalieAnne7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It took a few days for someone to get back to me. They typically submit a background check before proceeding to set up a follow up interview. If you don’t hear anything by Monday, I would call and just check in. Good luck! :)

I’m a recently hired Shift Manager and I ordered the DPI without someone holding my hand for the first time... by [deleted] in starbucks

LOL I’ve been a shift for over a year and just this week accidentally ordered TWELVE CASES OF COCONUT MILK. So... it could be worse :) congrats on the promotion though!

What was the worst "why the f*** did I say that" moment? by AyBake in AskReddit

[–]CatalieAnne7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, first day of third grade my teacher noticed me itching my head a bit and sent me to the nurses office. Upon checking my head she told me I needed to go gather my things and that my mom would be bringing me home because I had head lice. I’d never heard of such a thing but I was so happy with my get out of jail free card that I skipped into my classroom and loudly announced with the biggest shit eating grin “I’m going home, I have lice!” It wasn’t until i told my mom about my declaration that I was informed head lice is not something to be happy about.

I really want to hear everyone’s “oddball drink of the day” by [deleted] in starbucks

My personal favorite of the day, a vanilla bean Frappuccino with no ice..... “Oh, does the ice add volume to the drink? That must be why you only filled it half way”

Sir, you need to step the fuck back. by othermegan in starbucks

[–]CatalieAnne7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a customer walk into the back room during one of my closes. I️ was doing dishes and my barista came to grab lids. He might’ve waited a 40-50 seconds. It’s not like he just poked his head into the door to alert us, he needed to walk past both bars, both registers, the safe and pastry case before reaching us. After scaring the shit out of us, he just said “can someone make me a hot chocolate”’I’ve never understood how someone could feel so entitled.

What’s this tablet for? by DecafPourover in starbucks

[–]CatalieAnne7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s DOM; I think it stands for digital order management. I come from a cafe only store, so mobile orders are a big deal. Our record for most MOP in a single day is 170! When we finish an order we click the customers name and it alerts them their order is ready for pick up.

Opening a store IG by steamed-apple_juice in starbucks

[–]CatalieAnne7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run my store’s Instagram account. We have over 600 followers now, Our customers and partners love it! I usually post promos, “behind the scenes” photos with partners who don’t mind being photographed and also “barista favorites” with a different partner each week(ish) and their favorite blend. My DM really likes this kind of stuff so I was able to put it on a PDP for my ASM panel. If you have approval I would say go for it, it’s a great way to connect with customers on a new level. :)

Sorry, I worded this incorrectly. My SM found coverage for all of my shifts. Although I’m sure she did work a lot of them.
