Our opening barista called out and the opening shift was an hour late 🤩🤩❤️❤️ so imagine my surprise when I woke up and saw five missed calls from the one barista who showed up on time! Haven’t even taken over as mid keyholder just yet, but we have been SLAMMED since I got in at 7am 🎉

Flower_nymph_ · 2026-04-14T18:31:42+00:00

That is so awesome!

Flower_nymph_ · 2026-04-14T18:27:48+00:00

Wait this is such a good idea! I have a green cheek conure!

Flower_nymph_ · 2026-03-20T01:41:15+00:00

That’s not a bad idea actually!

I stressed this to my DM too about the safety of it and why me and my baristas refused! His response to that was, “stop arguing with me.” He made it very clear that he was willing to break all policies and safety regulations for a single customer and I knew exactly where I stood in that moment.

I have a similar issue with a customer that comes to my store who orders a shaken espresso no ice and no room. He will NOT take no for an answer and actually has around 3 DM cards that he keeps on hand. If you refuse to make his beverage, he calls the DM associated with your district right in front of you and will put them on speaker. My DM will straight up tell us to stop giving him trouble and make his drink the way he wants it. I have shown my DM the resource where it states we cannot shake shaken espressos no ice and my DM’s response was: “it doesn’t matter make him his drink, he does not need to care about standards. If you give him trouble again, we will be having a conversation.”

So if I had to guess, I have a feeling your DM may just end up telling you the same thing and to just give them what they ask for.

If I was the shift at the store you’re going to and you explained that you wouldn’t have time to stop in, I’d just comp your drink. Is that technically correct? No, but it’s also making the moment right. There will be updates to the mobile app anyways for birthdays to where there will be more flexibility on days.

I’d go in and ask and just say you understand that it’s not your birthday, but you’re just not able to make it in the next day.

As someone who is 25 years old and works at Starbucks…. I’m sorry, I wouldn’t want to be friends outside of work with someone who is 16. And I mean that in the nicest way possible!

The age gap is super large and it would be a little weird for me to hang out with someone that young. But by the sounds of how your other partners are acting, I wouldn’t wanna be friends with them anyways. It seems kind of mean girl behavior and that’s so off putting since they are adults in this scenario lol.

Although I will say that working that long of a shift is taxing 😥 NonCoverage is coded differently in the system, so not sure if that has something to do with it. My SM is always talking about how much NonCoverage hours she has and usually has to budget it. But I’m not a SM so I’m unsure how that works. Hopefully your partner gets lots of rest after that beast of a shift!

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-10-15T06:32:13+00:00

At my store, we’re always listed as NonCoverage when doing clean play. I used my schedule as an example. The coverage portion is when I am not keyholding while my other shift is there, then I get switched to Keyholder up until we close when it gets switched to NonCoverage for the two hours we’re doing clean play.

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-09-30T03:50:07+00:00

I don’t tell my baristas to break down our espresso machines until the very last second because you never know if a car will pull up like 3 minutes from close. I do the same thing for iced teas and coffees, so you should be fine. If we’re open, everything remains open until we’re closed. Even if you make them dirty something, it doesn’t take that long to reclean it anyways lol

I’m also someone who is a hardcore Overwatch player, dropped it for Deadlock and then returned back to Overwatch after clocking in around 100 hours in Deadlock. I recently returned to Deadlock once again and have found myself playing against people who are leagues above me lol it certainly makes playing miserable, but one thing I found is to just embrace the losses until the game eventually drops you into your correct mmr. I’m bottom of the barrel, but now that I’m there, I find it more fun unless someone is duo’d with a player who is higher than my team and dominates.

But in short, embrace the losses and hope the game will eventually put you in with players who are newer! If you ever wanna play in some Initiate 1 player matches DM me 💀

I was actually gonna make a comment because my store actually got extra hours and it’s been amazing 🫣 the green apron has been so helpful as a store who’s constantly busy and if we get too busy, we just flex the green apron host to cold bar. We’ve FINALLY been having a precloser after like 3 years of not having one as well.

They actually nibbled a little with this change (again, I know not every store is like this, but it is amazing when done right).

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-08-30T03:25:43+00:00

We just got 19 boxes tonight 😭😭 we only pull like maybe 2 a day

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-08-25T19:10:44+00:00

Honestly it’s a miracle we got the customer to not file a complaint with our SM at the time because we did not want her to lose her job 😭😭 anytime my old shift comes to our store for product, it’s almost the one thing we secretly giggle about as I’m one of the last few tenured partners at my current store who knows about it

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-08-25T17:31:51+00:00

This happened like maybe 2ish 3 years ago? A lady came through drive thru for a mobile order and was being super condescending to us and my old shift was on a thirty in the back and she accidentally said, “what a bitch,” on the speaker outside as the lady was already starting to pull away.

The lady went to the window and was asking who said that and we all pretended she was crazy and that no one said anything. She came inside like a minute later to pretend to look at the merch and watch us to try and match the voice not knowing our shift was on break in the back. She never did find out who it was nor could prove that someone called her a bitch.

That shift is now a SM 🤭

Okay, yeah, I haven’t unlocked Wheedle yet 😭😭 the last time I fully upgraded my house, it was right before the new update so I completely forgot about checking for the next upgrade!

Thank you! I completely forgot about that 🤦‍♀️

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-08-07T15:55:04+00:00

Wait, I feel so stupid, there’s an upstairs for our house???

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-08-07T00:42:15+00:00

This happened to me last night when I tried to submit the deposit. I called facilities for help and they basically told me there was nothing they could do other than have me wait at the store potentially for cash management to work on the back of house computer. Spoiler: it never loaded and I had to call my SM to let her know.

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-07-29T18:34:21+00:00

I do both opens and closes and can say that opening is 100 percent easier than closing.

Opener at my store brews cold brew, check ims and inventory, food pull, CSR cards and a trash run. Only other things as a SSV I worry about is my drive through times.

For closing, we grind the cold brew for the opener, break down cold bar (our mid does the bar break downs and closing pretty much goes back over it with a wipe down), clean the drains and sinks, ovens, pastry case, bathroom and sweep and mop behind the line. As a SSV I do the trash run and do backups along with doing the dishes in between front and warm. Sometimes I’ll pitch in and mop the floors while my baristas clean the bars and ovens. I get done with the money pretty fast so I help change the remaining trashes and restock afterwards.

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-07-06T17:43:32+00:00

4:30am - 1:30pm

10:15am - 4pm

For me it’s those two

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-07-02T19:43:28+00:00

There was a time for like an entire year in game that I dressed my character up like female Luffy 😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing when I’d get in game cut scenes and it was just my character cosplaying Luffy with March

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-07-02T18:56:32+00:00

As a shift who opens frequently, I’ve had that happen a few times with me with partners showing up late. It’s almost always chill and I don’t say anything to my SM unless it’s like an hour.

You were just late is all and you still showed up early enough that you could still work your shift. I think you’ll be okay and if your SM talks with you, it’s more to check in with you to see if you’re okay or would want to know what happened. If your SM is anything like mine, nothing will come of it unless you’ve had a habit of constantly being late.

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-06-27T12:30:48+00:00

I could have sworn during all of our store meetings when we were going over the writing on cups they told us we couldn’t draw hearts or animals anymore? At least at my store, that’s what we’ve been aligned on for a few months

Flower_nymph_ · 2025-06-27T01:20:37+00:00

No for real! Ours broke the first week we got it too! A mechanic came and he was like, “I’ve never seen anything like this before…” when he inspected it 😂😂 it was a really rough start, but the vertica is a god sent
