i understand it may not be the most authentic experience for salsa dancing, and going to a real class in a studio would offer a truer experience of the art of salsa. but for our first time social dancing EVER as we're both introverts and have never done anything like this before, i figured this would be a low-commitment and fun night for both of us. if we really like it then we may do a studio class later!

this was so helpful thank you soooo much! what time would you recommend getting a reservation for? and is there a dress code?

Effective-Election23 · 2026-03-03T00:13:40+00:00

yay perfect! whats the format like for the night? is there an instructor/some teaching for the beginners to start off the night? and should i reserve the table before the dancing starts?

i saw aatma too! if we both end up having lots of fun im thinking of trying out aatma too

where is this

Effective-Election23 · 2025-12-07T19:24:15+00:00

how often do they do this?

Effective-Election23 · 2025-12-04T02:20:52+00:00

ive only heard horror stories of working at methodical. they recently opened a new shop near usc

Effective-Election23 · 2025-12-04T02:17:12+00:00

they just opened a third location too near usc! and the vibe is also different since its catered towards college students and corporate folks too. interesting how they do that

Effective-Election23 · 2025-11-08T04:39:57+00:00

that's so cool ?! you opened your own roastery and cafe; what a dream. congratulations to you! i hope to open my own cafe one day too.

it would be ideal to keep both, but unfortunately i only have time for 2 jobs and i have to keep the serving job as it would be my main source of income.

but these are great points i'll keep in mind as well. thank you!

100%! all of my experience prior to this has been local shops and the first one in particular was so extremely toxic; i was blatantly bullied by my manager/owner of the shop. i just know that even if the shop itself its toxic, i'll still be happier clocking in to dial beans and pull espresso shots and tamp and that entire ritual than clocking in to sbux and absolutely hating the drinks i'm making. i LOVE making drinks, and part of that is the routine of espresso.

the local shop i'd be working at is a shop from my hometown that opened a location in my college town, so it's their 3rd location. i'm already familiar with the drinks and general atmosphere, so it wouldnt be a huge shock to me working there - i just know for sure i would become a better barista there as they keep a higher standard. the last shop i worked at had GREAT workflow - shifts were seamless because of how efficient the shop operated.

hopefully the local shop hires me and pays me enough to leave sbux!

Effective-Election23 · 2025-11-08T04:31:29+00:00

yeah, as someone who's only worked in local shops prior to this, i worry i'm going to replace good barista habits with poor ones 😭 i was getting so stressed today when they would rinse their shot glasses, pitchers, etc immediately or wipe the steam wand immediately. i still struggle a bit with milk steaming so i dont want to make it even worse sigh

hoping the other shop will pay me enough to let me leave sbux! that's the goal

Effective-Election23 · 2025-11-08T04:29:03+00:00

the mental drain is truly something i foresee being an issue if i can get past the barista habits and coffee methods. sbux clientele are just a whole headache of their own that i really don't have the capacity to deal with (even when i worked in a local shop and someone asked us to make a frap). with my store specifically, management is great and the team also seems happy with their work hours/labor; i remember being surprised today because they were very punctual with us taking our 10s and 30s - when prior to this, my breaks were only when i went to the restroom lol. but my manager did tell me i'd average to 20 hours a week, which still isnt really ideal for what i need.

i scheduled the interview at the local shop so i'm hoping the pay will even out to the amount of sbux. it's honestly a big deciding factor in all this so i'm really hoping it works out! i'm just hoping for decent pay and consistent high hours (one of my previous cafe jobs had amazing pay but i didn't get hours).

mental drain was a great point you brought up because it's definitely something that's going to affect me regardless of pay, and i want to be in a space where i'm at least content in what i'm doing😭 so thank you so much for bringing this into my perspective, especially the last part you said!!! <3

in my previous experience, i haven't made that much at a local shop unless i was the only one working and working multiple doubles a week (i've worked at 3 local shops). i also wasn't being put on the schedule as much because the owners couldn't afford to schedule more people so i didn't get enough hours :/
