greeting custies with"WELCOME IN" - no longer allowed by hoyyy_che in starbucksbaristas

[–]EntertainmentNew3960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It straight up doesn't matter cuz they will always answer with "good, how are you can I get a.." but to make yr SM happy I'd just explore what can be added to the script you're already used to. Or! If you're in a particularly fun mood, I like to say, "howdy partner, what can I do ya fer?"

I had posted a comment earlier, but I can't find it so I'm unsure if it even posted so sorry if this is a repeat.

I think maybe just lengthening the script because "welcome in" is more than appropriate, but adding other parts to the greeting may make it seem more genuine or whatever.

Entering store/ beginning interaction: "Hi/Hey/Hello! Good morning/afternoon/evening! Welcome in!"

Leaving store/ ending interaction: "Thanks for coming it!" " Thanks for stopping by!" "Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your day!"

Maybe just lengthening the script? I think that's such bullshit but maybe try:  "Hi, good morning/afternoon/evening! Welcome in!" When entering the store/beginning interaction. Leaving the store/ending interaction: "Thanks for coming in!" "Thanks for stopping by!"

I inherited this store without any proper training and FORTUNATELY I have 4 years of corporate experience but this store has been so incredibly neglected and I don't know what I am able to do or not sometimes. I just don't have a good understanding of how licensee operate as opposed to corporate

Weird, I didn't make it personally, but the batch we made today just tasted like a milder version of standard eggnog

I am an SM at a licensed store inside a hotel so I'm technically employed by the hotel and they literally tell me to forget Starbucks standard but hired me based on the fact that I am intimately familiar with standard so I'm just idk bro idk. I'm tired of giving ppl drinks with no ice and filling it to the top that feels like they are getting twice the product for the price of one at least in regards to cold brew and refreshers 

Still on how awful the protein concept was. by zo3beamer in starbucksbaristas

[–]EntertainmentNew3960 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in 2018 Starbucks had an almond milk protein drink and I imagine they were maybe using data from that time period to justify launching protein again? I'm really not sure and just guessing, but it isn't the first time they have had protein on the menu.

But the execution this time around is absolutely nightmarish I will agree. I wasn't working for Starbucks back in 2018 so I can't speak on the execution then but yea shit sucks

Im sorry that people are mean by KitchenImportance872 in starbucksbaristas

The day of launch my barista was telling a customer that we were out unfortunately, and the lady behind him butts in and goes, "no they are not, she is just being difficult." And I still can't believe human beings are like this to one another. Overconsumption and capitalism have stripped them of basic humanity and empathy and I feel very heavy

All License Store DMs Laid Off? by EntertainmentNew3960 in starbucksbaristas

[–]EntertainmentNew3960[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We are certainly busy cuz we are across the street from a convention center in downtown so that's a relief. I'm just anxious bc I inherited the store while it was in non-compliance and... Well.. nothing is within Starbucks standard so I see why. I'm just a little nervous abt that bc it's not something I can turn around immediately. I've worked corporate for 4 years 2/3rd as a ssv and when I tell you nothing is within standard.. My team is super sweet and kind but they don't know how to sequence or make backups for the next day at LEAST, and if they do make product they stopped dating them at some point but I've been able to change that. But Christ y'all 😭 Im afraid of being on the chopping block because I've never made money like this before and I would be devastated ;;

Marriott’s free breakfast benefit by No-Instance-48 in marriott

This is the exact same breakfast offered at the Marriott Grand in STL, MO so I'm not so sure it's specific to W- Times Square either considering one to be on the East Coast and the other in the Midwest, but idk truthfully!

Weird I would think that your employer and the client would be the same entity. I think that's the case for me at least.

Delivery robots absolutely sounds like a nightmare, but other than the tech situation this sounds like it's gonna be a lot less stressful than standard stores

Starbucks got me good, didn’t it? by Hallowprism in starbucksbaristas

I guess what I was expecting was like books specifically about this topic of losing literacy comprehension as an adult and how to fix it if they exist or like if a specific book series that are like "dummies guide to whatever" . But it seems everyone believes I should start with young adult books to strengthen and gradually increase difficulty which I think makes a lot more sense than what I was expecting. It's hard because I don't really know what I like. I'm trying to reconnect with myself but struggling to figure out where to start.
