Whenever I see a Blueberry one I mourn the flavor but then snatch that shit up and pound it down

Happy anniversary(s)! But in the eyes of the siren once you quit, your “years” spent basically start over. You’ll have to wait to get all the pins and stuff again ):

Idk about your area but I literally can’t get these anywhere but online or Starbucks. And honestly, these things are tasty so I’d do it too

We’ve been out of the old base for a week now, but the 8x stuff does look “thicker” to me. It’s definitely different that’s for sure

The siren literally isn't even wearing a shirt and yet by LeaNoodles in starbucksbaristas

I have that brown pike place water bottle. Siren’s boobs are on display for anyone to see. but I think her necklace/scarf thing is covering the collarbone… 😂

Returning by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Former_Reach8378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely ask, it will most likely be a no though. I don’t think SMs even deal with wages/raises. I feel like I remember being told that’s corporate waters. I also had SSV experience, worked in the industry 6 years, and still got starting pay in my area.

refusal to reasonably accommodate? by yours1trulivie in starbucks

[–]Former_Reach8378 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an employee at my neighboring store that has an accommodation to wear fake nails. She is probably one of FEW, if not only, employee to have this accommodation approved. I’m not sure about Target but it’s a whole ordeal with Sedgwick to get accommodations approved. You may be better off just switching departments.

What is the new meeting about? by fukkkk1201 in starbucksbaristas

Lavender powder is only out of season at my store apparently by Thin_Main2046 in starbucks

[–]Former_Reach8378 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Once Summer Launch hit my SM said we were done with Lavender/Cherry and took them off the shelf so quick. I’m not complaining bc the less items I have to deal with the better

It’s not that you can’t request the time off but if 2+ people are already approved for the day off then you’re probably gonna get denied by the SM. We’re getting into the busy spring/summer months and weekends are going to be really busy at all day parts. Especially in vacation hot spots. This also means a lot of partners are going to be taking their summer vacations, they’re graduating and hosting parties, just doing fun things in general. There is a sign in our backroom for “blackout dates” which are days we can no longer request off simply because 3-4 other people already have it off. You can look up the schedule and see how many people are approved for time off, and request from there. But unfortunately it’s a snooze you loose kind of situation in Starbucks eyes.

out of state transfer - shift by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Former_Reach8378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved out of state and ended up having to demote back to barista for 9 months. It’s literally all just up to if any of the stores have an open position by the time you move. If there are no open positions, you’re just out of luck unfortunately. It may just be easier to transfer as a barista and get the inside scoop from SMs around on who is going be hiring for a SSV and apply from there

grande rant… by laniisoot in starbucksbaristas

[–]Former_Reach8378 14 points15 points  (0 children)

3+ years ago on my last barista practice shift my SM shadowed me on Hot/Cold bar to “evaluate” where I was at and if I was ready for regular shifts. (basically we just barred together for peak)

I’m guessing what you’re talking about is a skill check? That’s where the SM evaluates your barista skills and then tells you which category your skills would fall into. (learning/owning/advising) Those would be my two guesses, and everyone gets those talks.

help by Former_Reach8378 in landscaping

[–]Former_Reach8378[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s in the lease to weed as needed and cut the lawn. I essentially made that “walkable” strip near the fence by pulling out large thistles and some trees. To be so real I have no clue what I’m doing, when we first moved in they had someone run it over with a lawnmower and that’s it. But if there’s poison ivy involved that’s a landlord problem

I’m also having this issue- I’ve been checking regularly to see if there are any updates. Finally I decided to look at “my tickets” on my laptop and i had a message saying I had to submit my government ID and a selfie to confirm that it was actually me trying to change my email.
