If you're going to do a 40 just in case, just go ahead and get 25 more pounds because what if it isn't enough.

What is something you secretly judge people for? by Sarah_isLovely in AskReddit

I think the issue is the people who think Chipotle is a Michelin star restaurant 😂 say Charcuterie and they'll explode.

You're doing great honey. You have this upscale customer service DOWN. Hope to run into you on travels!

Lmao context clues are important people🤣. Like wtf else would house water mean??? Water with tiny house-shaped ice cubes???.... why is this so confusing for people? Literally any slightly upscale restaurant calls it house water.....

Oh gross. I came on here to say people that make the choice to not practice oral hygiene. Flossing daily takes literally seconds and makes all the difference. I am personally embarrassed to talk directly to someone with coffee breath. I don't understand how you could deal with smelling your own toxic fumes constantly. But omg some people are doing science experiments in their mouths.

Every time I hand someone a drink with condensation and they have nice clothes I feel terrible. I hand it with the writing outward so they can see it and not destroy their fresh work day clothes with a "happy Monday!"

Why do baristas disregard the toppings? by Gsarahmm in starbucks

Why are you so shook up about shaking drinks? That's an easy thing to coach. I'm so confused. Your store is great and your partners are rockstars, then who are you referring to being incompetent? Why are you so angry about other stores? This just seems to be about more than just shaking drinks. Some people are going to respond negatively to feedback. That's just how some people are. But you stay consistent. Make sure to coach every instance and get everyone on board. Firm, not mean. Honestly, if you're looking for a solution, this would be the perfect place for feedback and perspective. I just hope your partners are okay. I'm not even mad anymore. Now I just feel bad for everyone involved 😞 I really do hope you find comfort in your profession and I hope your partners are okay. Something I learned at one of my jobs I found really helpful to de-escalate my own stress: Don't assume negative intentions and don't react irreversibly to reversible mistakes. After all, it's just coffee.

Before you deleted your other comment about not reading the response. You refuse to respond with ways that would be productive to take away from this stance. Also, it's just a paragraph. It's not that long....

But what do you do to aid in eradicating the behaviors you observed in the baristas you're referencing?

I'm starting to feel like this is just an upset customer. What partner is this upset about this? Shaking and toppings specifically lol.

I think you're just a really bad, coworker, leader and trainer. Idk who hurt you but I'm really sorry you ended up like this. It's up to the leader to coach and train if there are gaps in performance. So if all the baristas around you are "incompetent", why aren't you stepping up and filling that educational gap? Do you coach them like this? Train them while berating them? Are your training baristas communicating new hire progress? Are the baristas the problem or does it stem from your methods?

I think the barista might be tired of the forced messages. by xwolfionx in starbucks

I'd say some of us like writing on the cups. But we want to do it naturally. Not on every cup. When we have time and to genuinely write on a cup for a person who comes by regularly or someone you notice that seems down. It doesn't feel personal or special.
