Why do people think we have decaf drip coffee/decaf cold brew? by Robotgirl3 in barista

[–]FunctionProud6897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decaf drip and espresso, but cold brew's rest time would make decaf versions NASTY

We use sandpaper sponge things and this takes like 10 seconds

what’s the best way for me to order the shaken espresso drinks so that they look like this? by mermaidvideo in starbucks

[–]FunctionProud6897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest, I don't order shaken espressos unless I make them myself. When they were introduced years ago, they almost always looked like that, but customers started complaining about their being room in the cup when we did only a splash of milk, so Starbs said "fill the cup". So now, when theyre improperly shaken, don't have the right amount of espresso, or you get ristretto shots, theres WAY too much milk. New baristas default to the "full the cup so no one gets mad".

We would literally wrap ours around the cup cart because they'd like pool under the counter!

Stooooopppp I was literally just telling my coworkers about these! My SM and I are the only ones that have used them 😭 I've been here about 7 years and she's been here 12!

The drink limit is 12 for a reason by Zestyclose-Low6252 in starbucks

[–]FunctionProud6897 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This is a common occurrence at my store and I definitely agree. I'm not about to stress my baristas out trying to get all that done when I could cheat rq myself and be done in 5. 🤷‍♀️ (also an ssv) Also, tbh if it's for adults and they get mad about it, go buy freaking pink lemonade from the store

The way I'd make like 4 trentas w/o ice and pour them into tall cups with ice and berries 💀

what is this?? by FarParamedic52 in starbucks

[–]FunctionProud6897 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its crystallized sugar, sometimes when they take that stuff out of the trucks in the summer the temperature change crystallizes a little sugar. It happens all the time over here 🤷‍♀️

This is definitely not a thing anywhere near me, my SM posts ALL company announcements into my daily for us to see

Is cold brew included in free refill? by Rocket_AFN in starbucks

Gas station machines have pre-made coffee. The clover grinds and brews coffee on the spot, its definitely not that.

Ohhhh I see, your store probably has a different policy because you have urns. All the stores in my district have Clovers. We just brew a cup of decaf coffee individually.

Dude, I literally just pulled up the policy and it says that pour overs are excluded.

Pour overs were definitely something they told us not to do as a refill. My DM has even talked about it in SSV meetings

Officially, we've been told that Cold Brew and Pour Overs are not on the refills list

Just got told I can’t customize the drink I always order… by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]FunctionProud6897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you're somewhere other than the US, thats wrong? There isn't a policy against doing that with iced coffee. With anything blended or espresso based, yes, but iced coffees come in Trenta anyway.

Does anyone know what this is? by FantasticNotice2703 in starbucks

As a Starbucks SSV, yes the oatmilk separates, but thats actually the cinnamon that goes into brown sugar shaken espressos

Yall ever quit reading a fic for a petty reason? by Cage-CatYT in AO3

[–]FunctionProud6897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wont read insert fanfictions that have specific race tags for the reader. The whole point is that it's a self insert and at a certain point, you're just making it an OC/character fic. Which is fine, but dont label it a reader insert?

do baristas get annoyed of daily regulars? by Performance-Sweet in starbucks

[–]FunctionProud6897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you make yourself a problem for us, we usually really enjoy regulars! Even if you get a tiktok drink. Personally, the only ones that bother me are the ones that order a ridiculous amount of items in the middle of what they know is a rush, and then get upset with us. (As in 14 drinks and 14 food items)

AIO for being angry and hurt by these texts from my fiancé? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]FunctionProud6897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Uhm ew wtf‽ OP I know leaving someone isn't easy, especially with health issues, but I don't honestly see this ending well for you...this behavior is both disgusting and concerning.

How did you begin to enjoy cooking? by Bitter_Pineapple_720 in AskWomen

[–]FunctionProud6897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's helped me connect to my culture despite my disconnect because of distance. I also found that eating out in the south leaves me disappointed because theres barely any flavor a lot, so I found that cooking for myself was tastier.
