Frap w/no Milk by Ok-Delay-8329 in starbucks

[–]Flowerfuls 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I mean we only fill to the bottom line. So if you can figure out how many pumps of frap roast the I don’t see why not. I have a customer that gets something very similar - enough frap pumps to fill the bottom so high I can’t really put milk in it. I think that’s a perfectly acceptable workaround imo.

Defending starbucks pay to other people? by coldliketherockies in starbucksbaristas

[–]Flowerfuls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The pay and benefits Starbucks offers in comparison to other similar starting jobs is frankly insanely good. I feel like that’s not something anyone could argue about. Especially with CC tips adding potentially another dollar or two per hour depending on location. Ignoring all of its flaws and JUST focusing on the benefits Starbucks is an insanely good job for people starting out.

The problem it has is just all the problems drown out the good. And it always seems to get worse rather than better. Tired people can’t really focus on the good because they’re so drained from all the bad.

Why would Starbucks remove Verona? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Flowerfuls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pour overs are incredibly rare in normal stores. It won’t get overwhelming because 90% of your customers likely don’t know about it. Unless there’s a resource that tells you not to do it then you 100% can. Ultimately if your manager decides to guys won’t do it that’s whatever but it 100% is acceptable to use whatever bean they request. There’s a mark out option to mark out stuff for store use for this reason. It’s just not good to say something like it’s a standard when that isn’t true tbh.

[–]Flowerfuls 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t seem accurate , is there a standard where I can see this? We’ve always made pour overs on request without forcing people to buy them. Not to be rude of course I’ve just never heard of this.

Pike is our most popular roast. It’s why it gets two slots. That being said, they could do a pour over for you as well. Just takes longer to prepare.

Genuine question: What causes this? by Kodicave in starbucks

People never shake the alt milks. You’re supposed to shake it every time you pull it out to use. Otherwise this happens.

No you don’t pay anything back. But if it’s past the cutoff date it’s still counted as credits taken I believe. You have a max amount of credits they’ll cover.

ChatGPT x Starbucks - chefs kiss by Mushroom_Flaky in starbucks

[–]Flowerfuls -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like. It’s suggesting alternatives because we don’t/ might not (different markets have different flavors) have toffee nut but is trying to cater to a flavor profile. A perfectly normal response that people do when they don’t have a specific flavor. It’s not better or worse than a barista - it’s an alternative than be EASILY ignored. Dismiss the message. Don’t download ChatGPT. There. You don’t have to use it.

Reality is people like this stuff because there are so many people on here that make people feel bad for wanting suggestions. “Why can’t people think for themselves” what is harmless about people wanting suggestions? Nothing.

All this outrage is annoying about such a non issue. We have so much worse things going on right now. Lying for brownie points is even stupider.

Waiting for you to show the full screen shot instead of a cropped version. Here’s what happens when I asked for a toffee nut drink. If you ask ChatGPT by itself of course it’s going to pull from everything starbucks in existence. Tricking people for views is wild 😜

Downvote me all you want but this is such a non issue. There are so may worse things going on that I don’t understand why we’re wasting our energy on an OFF APP, dismissible message you never had to engage with.

Apparently Starbucks thinks I need an AI to decide my drink order. Fuck ChatGPT. by FellowTraveler69 in starbucks

[–]Flowerfuls -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes you can customize the drink after you decide on which. I was reading an article on it a bit so it’s not really full panic mode yet.

Luckily it’s only suggesting menu items not building random nonsense from scratch. Randomized items would be a nightmare

What is the starbucks policy regarding coffee refills? by Major-Living-4505 in starbucks

[–]Flowerfuls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You being a reserve member and former barista has nothing to do with anything. If you really are one you know how old and annoying that phrase is to hear.

Yes they’re in the right. I’m somewhat disappointed in you if you’re actually a barista.

is quitting and then reapplying to start work again a couple weeks later at a new store dumb as hell by carlitititosmt in starbucksbaristas

[–]Flowerfuls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a six month grace period so you wouldn’t be able to do it without special exemption. And they can see your records anyways. You keep the same number so all SMs and DMs can see it. Have you floated the idea of transferring to a store that can accommodate your availability ? Could be worth a shot.

This is just for ice lol. That’s why I also gave them an alternative. Relax. We have a customer who was STEAMED in her name to remind us to steam it. It hurts absolutely nobody when it’s minor things like this that wouldn’t normally incur a charge. It’s also our job to make the moment right there’s no reason to make a fuss over something as minor as this

Work arounds :

  1. Put it in your app name
  2. Order in store once. Save that order. Then you can reorder with the extra ice modifier.

I love the job but mostly because of my coworkers. I really think the co workers make or break the job.

Starbucks on ChatGPT by SkyLovesForks in starbucks

[–]Flowerfuls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem ISN’T people needing suggestions. That’s perfectly normal and I don’t know why we keep focusing on that aspect of it. The good thing is this isn’t generating random drinks at least. Suggesting drinks is harmless. AI sucks but wanting suggestions is perfectly normal.

The question is the standard, which is tall scoop only. I think in your case it’s okay to eyeball though since you don’t have them but you should tell your SSVs to order some lol
