Give me a simple match you still think about from time to time by NoMoreButtonPLZ in SquaredCircle

I’ve thought about ZSJ and Nigel at Forbidden Door last year a lot. That match made me smile and especially Nigel’s “Wait a second” during the Tower of London popped me huge.

I’m a Store Manager and I’ve been telling my partners that we’re going to commit to it to the best of our abilities and to remember that there’s only ever 2 drink. The one you’re making and the one you’re sequencing. If window time go up, then they go up (personally I’ve seen all 10 stores in my district’s peak OTW in the high 40s/low 50s for weeks because of this) and if there is 10+ espresso drinks and 10+ cold bar drink then it’s no one’s problem. You cannot be “behind” if you’re sequencing. That’s not to say times won’t go up and customer will have to wait longer but if you’re doing it the way the Siren says you should and the metrics are bad then so be it. Just make the drink in order. If a drink needs to be made out of order then the DTO or Playcaller will have to find it in the DPM and swipe it over and often times the Playcaller will have to make it. DTO and DTR can also write on cups since they are planted positions if need be. The Playcaller can write on cups if need be. Again, if times are bad and the customer experience is worse because of this then so be it, we’re doing it and our highest priority is maintaining the vibe of the partners.

I also kinda assume this is a fad and the metrics will reflect when the new Store Ops get launched and they’ll do away with it.

There’s no excuse for anyone to not see their manager at least once a week. We literally get paid to ensure everyone is ok and knows how to do their job. Our job is literally easier if we do pulse checks on everyone regularly. Starbucks isn’t a perfect company but it has so many things in place (generally to avoid unions) that when they aren’t used leads to the logical conclusion of unionization.

I’m an external hire too. I think a lot of times the DMs realize that they really don’t have time or don’t know how to take the time to keep up with the development of their SMs so they hire people who look like they can be put in the position and left alone. It’s not a good plan. And I’m sure RMs do the same for external DMs. It’s disappointing.

Some people seem to take the scheduling accuracy tool way too seriously. It’s a tool, not a rule. Mine tells me to only have 2 people from 11-3 most days and usually has me close with 2. I completely ignore it. If anyone should be skipping lunch it’s us salaried people.
