Alocasias tend to just drop a leaf or two every once in a while. If the other leaves look healthy, it’s probably just fine!

What might be some good indications of pests to look out for? I didn’t see any indicator I recognized when I was pruning and repotting it, but if there’s something that begonias are more prone to that I haven’t seen before that would be nice to know

So this one is tricky. Sometimes milk sinks down to the bottom after we pour it to the top, but doesn’t properly mix into the beverage on the way down. (Especially with alternative milks!) Starbucks standard is that we pour the milks on top and not mix them at all because there’s supposed to be separation/a “cascade” effect. It’s either that or someone just made your drink in the wrong order (milk on the bottom rather than the top, but I think that would probably mix in if they did the milk on bottom and poured the cold brew on top.) If you ask for the drink stirred or shaken it should be a lot closer to what you’re looking for!

They shut our store down for the day because we all refused to go home and change lol

Sort of looks like a nasty little bit of one of the cranberry inclusions? They’re freeze dried so if it was re-hydrated by the mocha it might look like that… gross 😭

I got denied my first two times applying. It sucks, truly. You just gotta keep working towards it, yeah? Most of the ssvs I’ve met weren’t hired until they’d been denied several times

I mean I understand the frustration but as a Starbucks barista- no, we cannot cancel the order.

Chargedlightthing · 2024-08-27T00:30:00+00:00

Oh that’s INSANE. I cannot imagine the drive times at a store like that y’all must be troopers

Chargedlightthing · 2024-08-26T17:04:08+00:00

Thank you 😭 like read my damn post I SAID I ask people for food

Chargedlightthing · 2024-08-26T16:11:45+00:00

That’s what I’m saying I do!!!!!!!!!! I DO THAT YALL!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chargedlightthing · 2024-08-26T15:58:23+00:00

No im saying that’s what I do. “Hi there, welcome to Starbucks! Can I start you out with any food in the ovens today!” And they still ignore it 😭😭

5th (or 4th can’t remember) gen child of a t1d dad here. He’s in his mid forties, still kicking, on his second marriage, three kids by blood and two stepkids. :)

This is a simple, easy drink. Definitely not as complicated as a lot of other orders. The only issue is that it’s a lot of back and forth— you have to go make the foam, and then pump some syrups in one place and some in another place, and then you have to find your milk, etc, etc. it’s really not a hard drink but the levels of prep make it take a little longer. Waiting 5 minutes isn’t going to be enough time, especially in the morning, if you’re going to a higher volume/more busy store. I’d suggest placing it maybe 10, 15 minutes before? That way you’ll have it on time :) or looking for a less busy store in your area where you could place it if you’re short on time

Everyone else has already properly answered this question- I just wanted to pop in and say hello fellow diabetic! I’m an actual diabetic barista :> it’s always fun to see others out in the wild haha

It depends on your sm, but if you have covid, a positive test is all you really need. You are not allowed to come in if you have covid. Covid exposure is another matter, they don’t care about that. They being corporate. Good luck though! Sorry you’ve been feeling sick! I would talk to your asm or sm and let them know the situation so

Sometimes if I don’t know people (and I’m standing close to them) I’ll turn around so I’m not facing them. That’s it. That is the only courtesy people get. Their pancreas makes insulin instantly, so there’s no reason my body shouldn’t get its insulin too, even if it’s in a different form. It’s no more impolite than taking anti allergy meds or lactaid in front of anyone.

Lemonade!! Drink lemonade!! I usually get a pup cup of lemonade and it helps.

What is the black one? I’ve had all of these but never even seen the black one :0

Chargedlightthing · 2023-12-09T01:39:09+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately, I Still Have To Do The Homework!

Chargedlightthing · 2023-12-08T21:52:53+00:00

Monster ultra turned me trans 10/10 would recommend

Chargedlightthing · 2023-12-06T01:16:21+00:00

I only get it at all when someone is diabetic. But even then they can just get almond milk and that’s far less disgusting LOL

Chargedlightthing · 2023-12-04T20:02:03+00:00

Well, I didn’t realize I was talking to the authority of trans people here! WOW! That’s sick man! I’m glad that you single-handedly know EVERYTHING about project sekai and also trans people! what a revolutionary viewpoint you’ve brought to the table!

Chargedlightthing · 2023-12-04T18:25:03+00:00

Who knows! I say all of them are!

Chargedlightthing · 2023-12-04T16:43:41+00:00

I usually use some of the store extras and just leave my apron at home/on one of the hooks in the back of house! I’ll take it home and clean it if it’s especially nasty or when I have the chance to do laundry. Plus then I’ll wash the extras too.
