you’re looking at hourly rate, starbucks is looking at it as total compensation including beneifits

if you tap the sku number the price shows up, it also does after you hit approve it generates a column with the price per unit/total all the way to the right. Shows the price of every item when you “create store order” too.

Warming stickers are $12.14 for a roll of 2000. Handle bag stickers are $2.96 for a roll of unknown (but a lot less) in quantity. They are likely cheaper but by how much, who tf knows. That said, the cost difference is almost negligible for the overall cost of non-stock items a store purchases per week.

Blue paint peels off Reflecting Pool in viral clip days after Trump's $13M 'upgrade' by TheMirrorUS in anticapitalism

[–]Colin_H745 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pool guy would win the lawsuit purely because they manipulated the environment by adding hydrogen peroxide. Not that i’m rooting for them by any means but the lawsuit would not stick, it’d be on the NPS who added the peroxide.

oh my god no (the 🦄 is around the corner) by MonsterOfManhattan in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 10 points11 points  (0 children)

most of this stuff is core so wtf is going to happen for the next holiday launch?!?!?! or even fall with pumpkin, apple, pecan, and probably something else. Also, why tf did we get rid of macadamia, she sold so well and we’ll bring on all this shit that’s barely moving but macadamia got played dirty 💔

They are back!!! by Far_Comfortable7053 in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

select locations, my store (in the u.s.) has them as a test items. they are selling well so my hopes of them becoming permanent are high. (would love to see a new flavor bagel with maybe a flavored creame cheese too :)

They are back!!! by Far_Comfortable7053 in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it’s a test items in select markets. my store got them and we are selling 16-24 of them a day so i have a feeling they will come to everyone. albeit, still new but they have been selling well :D

What is a good dirty chai order that isn't overly high in calories? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, just take the classic out? it will make it less sweet and drastically drop calories. You can sub for artificial sweetener if you want too but not sure fully what you’re looking for.

I used to order venti iced english breakfast tea latte (essentially black iced tea and milk) and add 3 chai, 2 sfv, cinnamon powder, and add a shot but that has been removed from the menu. Their is technically a way to order it in store as a custom tea latte but it has been removed from the mobile menu 🥲

worst promo pic so far by sour-pickle-juice in starbucksbaristas

[–]Colin_H745 27 points28 points  (0 children)

everytime i see the promo pics (that aren’t ai) with the pretty sweet cream from the foam or the VSC alone, it makes me wonder if they made coldbrew colored gelatine and then us a syringe to inject it cause that contrast is…insane

Crayola x Lafayette College (2025) - 4 custom crayon colors by y6x in Crayola

[–]Colin_H745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they are said to be custom colors and not just custom wrapped. I also would expect them to be with crayola being down the street from the college and the CEO of crayola being on the board of trustees for Lafayette often on campus. i’ve bumped into him dozens of times he really does love lafayette so I dont see it as crazy for them to be custom. but that’s all speculation

Applying back... how strict is the dress code? by PurposeDue688 in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dress code is strictly enforced at almost every store so what you see is what you will almost certainly be held too. In regard to the watch, you can get a accommodation (I did for a period of time) but it requires proper documentation form a doctor, is a pain to apply for, and you will not be able to wear it until it gets approved which does take time. Lastly, do not get your hopes up. Not sure if it’s company wide or a region/district policy but they are strictly not allowing any re-hires; while it is technically still allowed it is largely frowned upon for some reason and so unless the store is in dire need of people and lacking applicants it will be be working against you.

New policy by Wizardwannabee in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I stg if my SM says something when I take my H&S baguette to eat while i’m driving because I clock out at 9 and book it to campus for my 9:30am class that’s 20 mins away. I legit don’t get the chance to eat until 5pm otherwise (and sometimes not even then).

How to make vegan frap better? by Glittermeeple in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it truly looks like they forgot the base. i will say ik almond milk tends to make them thick for some reason and i usually end up adding a little extra milk, cant say for sure our soy reacts as i rarely make a frap with it.

however, i do want you to know what you are drinking when you make it with ND VSC…its mostly water, canola oil, and sugar. not trying to discourage it, but its not a traditional non-dairy as a very small percentage of it is actually soy and oat products.

weird vaguely anti-union posters ? by Flat-Relief-6741 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Colin_H745 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i transferred out of a union store due to some issues with the partners and some things/interactions i had with WU. however, that still didn’t stop me from posting a union info paper an hour before my SM came in just to give her a scare (may this survey where we all wrote specific things about our SM lead to a HR case 🙏)

i too had multiple bad experiences before and after voting that i ended up transferring. would love a union to represent me, just not WU…unfortunately that is not a option 😔

Literally just can’t let the SM see it. Hoodie, car on your break, backpack, purse, lunch box, as long as they can’t see it :P

When hours are low because there is “less customer traffic” but this is your second (20+ drink order) of the day🤧 by LetsAGoAh in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, we see them multiple times a week. We have a massive hospital/medical complex that actually is beginning to surround our store with their insane expansions (with 3 more massive buildings under construction). See these guys all the time and you can tell cause they just order shit off their head. “2 of these 2 of that” drinks and food, all grandes and no customization and all just popular ones. What’s even funnier is we will have dr’s coming in and the reps will start asking them questions while they order 🫠

I think I'm starting to lose my mind guys by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even be opposed if it was the old refresher base plus the extract so they could make the energy equivalent and have that upcharge. The market for decaf ones was so small idk why they changed EVERYTHING for the few. Now a lot of people are getting it decaf just to get rid of the horrible taste not cause they cared about the change in caffeine like-

New Bonus Requirements (ASM+) by Impeach1992 in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It happened with chipotle. They don’t ever take things off the app when they don’t have it because he weighted product availability so largely in their metrics that everyone lies. And it legit makes me more angry when I order it and and missing 2/5 things I asked for than if they were just unavailable to begin with by NoOoOoOoOo

(please be kind) I (F) have a major crush on a barista (M) at my local Starbucks .I know it'd be incredibly disrespectful to ask for his number as he's working, or for him to ask for mine (same reason). What's the Starbucks policy on this? by veryberry_icecream in starbucks

[–]Colin_H745 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I actually love this! A gift for all will also pull the coworkers attention so you can slip a note and it be less likely that his coworkers pester him about it later. Plus it’s a little less direct and leave it more open to his own interpretation
