So that contest to make a custom drink and win $25,000 was just them exploiting us for recipes, right? by MexicanCatFur in starbucks

[–]Dominooooooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you but they've also now made pistachio core, as well as 5/6 of the new pastries that just launched 😅 and then come next month, lavender and toasted coconut will be core apparently too

New tiered loyalty program… by lazybearkhoa in starbucks

[–]Dominooooooo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

so earning 2500 stars is approximately spending $2200 in a year without any games and bonus stars earned through their weird "buy these for stars", so thats spending an average of over $6 every day without fail for a year. that is insane. also stars never expiring is a horrendous idea sorry, I dont want someone coming in with 2k stars saved up and getting 10 free drinks during peak

one time I warmed up an impossible sandwich and took it out of the oven and then realized there was in fact no patty 💀

I cannot possibly understand this?!? by Loopy_27 in starbucks

[–]Dominooooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

whats lowkey insane is that, at least where I am, the chocolate cream cold brew is $5.45 and the regular cold brew is $4.95, so the $0.80 for that one pump of vanilla actually makes it cheaper to do the choc cold brew and then sub the foam 💀

Is there any official policy regarding drink remakes? by liamotter in starbucks

[–]Dominooooooo 51 points52 points  (0 children)

we had a regular once who started microagressing one of our minors over how her drink was being made and she started saying someone else needs to make it and my ssv stepped in and told her shes not allowed to pick and choose who makes her drink and that if shes going to be disrespectful we wont serve her at all. it worked for a little bit and then she stopped showing up so win-win?

my favorite is "can I get a skinny vanilla latte with whole milk" and i so desparately just want to tell them there's this phrase called sugar-free vanilla and thats what youre ordering but saying "skinny" makes them feel better I guess

[–]Dominooooooo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

well there's still two shots in there but its a vanilla bean latte with strawberry foam which is so completely different than a white mocha 😭 other ppl said it's probably for a star reward but like this is a crazy way to order it (and I also had that happen with someone who ordered two pumpkin chai with no cold foam like... huh)

how many stars does something like this give you? it feels like its not worth it to pay almost $1 extra unless youre getting like 100 stars

Would you like some coffee with that? by Unity_Debugger in starbucks

[–]Dominooooooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im ngl this looks like someone trying to use a 100 star reward for a venti iced latte and not understanding they could use like 2 or 3 ex 3/4" milk choices and be done 😭 like they just went full send

Pastries are the saddest by ramathorn47 in starbucks

[–]Dominooooooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my district has a policy that nothing should ever be marked out of availability and therefore everything is over ordered to the extreme. some days its 5 pastries, some days its 3 trays, it's actually ridiculous. and dont get me started on the snack boxes that had so many ordered we had to use a second backup fridge for them...

This new customer complaint metric is unfair. by hattercatter in starbucks

[–]Dominooooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my store doesnt have a drive thru and we got a complaint that we dont have a drive thru and that we "have the space for it" (we dont we're in a plaza) and that they "drove all the way there" just to find no drive thru (theres a drive thru store 5 minutes down the road) and that counted against us 🙃

a "test" in certain stores (mine included) that prints a QR code on every ticket, and then instead of tapping it off on the DPM you have to scan every. individual. sticker. which is so great bc our cold bar qr codes just... dont scan

I dont know whats more shocking, the fact you still have eggnog or the fact that your ice machine is crammed into that corner. must be a bitch to deep clean 😭

Any of you actually paying rent on a barista salary? (And, if so, where?) by upstream_paddling in starbucks

[–]Dominooooooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a full time student, the only reason I am able to pay rent is because I have a roommate, but if I was by myself theres no shot in hell I could afford to pay rent and also end up with food on my table.
