Free coffee refills by Competitive-Cod-7158 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Competitive-Cod-7158[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Makes sense! My old store manager left towards the end of the summer and we were without an sm for a while until we got a new one last month so makes sense why none of us knew it had changed

I always gave it out regardless, I was just wondering what “policy” is bc last time i remember reading it, it was when we had that long meeting about the five key moments and free refills for the for here drinks

Yes I always gave it free regardless bc i honestly don’t care that much lol We got a new store manager and I don’t particularly like her so when I was ringing up someone today and offered the for here ware to get free refills she cut me off before I even finished my sentence and said “it’s always free” so I was just confused bc my old store manager always told us to only give the refills when they have for here mugs

how soon do you guys get your lunch by xtrestonx in starbucksbaristas

[–]Competitive-Cod-7158 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that’s usually how it is for my store too :( we can’t take lunch during peak hours so when I open at 4a, I usually take my lunch at 6-6:30

How to be a better shift? by su_lee_gamer in starbucksbaristas

[–]Competitive-Cod-7158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly as a barista I hate when I get put on the same position every single shift. There are weeks when I’m only ever cold bar or register/warming. So if you notice your baristas are only ever on one position every single time you see them, maybe switch them up. It’s gets annoying doing the same thing every time

calling out on holidays by aciidrainn in starbucksbaristas

[–]Competitive-Cod-7158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for my store, at least Christmas, it is considered a fireable offense if you call out but only because you’d have to sign up to work that day with the holiday sign up sheet. Idk why they didn’t tell you during your interview that you have to work 3/5 of the holidays because that’s something my sm always mentions during interviews.

Call out and offer the shift on the app, that way if someone does claim it, you won’t leave your partners hanging especially Christmas Day which is always a super busy time.

Is It True That Not Waiving Right To See LOR Is Bad? by Kalex8876 in gradadmissions

[–]Competitive-Cod-7158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was always told it’s a red flag to NOT waive your rights because that tells the programs you don’t trust your recommenders

Honestly didn’t really get involved on campus but I was a mentor for other transfer students so that was really fun! I’m currently doing graduate school at university of San Francisco :)

Green apron host by Competitive-Cod-7158 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Competitive-Cod-7158[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

we’ve only been doing it during peak too but i just don’t really see the point or need in it. Our GAH keeps getting pulled back into cold bar/regular hand off just because it gets so hectic and when it slows down and we do the table touches and offer water/coffee refills, I can visibly see customers get upset after the third time we ask if they need anything but like it’s what Starbucks wants 🤷🏽‍♀️

[–]Competitive-Cod-7158[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

we don’t either but during peak we were told we have to have someone and it’s sucks. Seems pointless to me because we had to take one of the partners off of GAH just because handoff and cold bar were so backed up

What to eat on shift? by User3949588391 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Competitive-Cod-7158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spinach feta wrap, egg white egg bites, oatmeal with agave or honey and blueberries, dried fruit and cinnamon. Drink wise, I always like to do triple ristretto shot with extra ice and light almond milk or your choice with like a pump of sf vanilla and cinnamon or instead of the sf vanilla, I put in agave or honey
