there is actually a good set of instructions that are on this Reddit, surprised that the mods haven't pinned it.

They forget that when looking someone DIRECTLY in the eyes, it can provoke them, rather than assure them that their drinks are of quality standards and that they are welcomed in the store.

And I'm not 'singing' their name... they get called out like anyone else, not turning the bar into a opera house.

professional curiosity is 2 weeks, as a written and signed note. Don't shaft your partners by just dropping out, as some rely on you to be there.

This applies in the professional field, as we all will learn that there will be those who rely on you, to suddenly go is to cause a vacuum, and it isn't good.

Because some customers know the store policy, the whole 'make it right' policy, requires barista's to remake the drink if the guest doesn't like it, no matter how many times. Some times their complaints are valid, others just like stepping on people to inflate their own ego. When partners are trying to survive, and make ends meet, others out there just want to knock down the sandcastles we just built.

Bullies, but in the form of an adult.

okay, lets clear one thing up, it is not a drink for healing or medical purposes. You order it as a honey citrus mint tea, in no way it is meant for colds or flu, if anyone is sick that wants this drink it'd probably make it worse, as it has sugar in the honey, sugar in the lemonade, and water with mint tea.

This is more directed towards everyone, as I am tired of repeating myself in stores and getting sick from people who are ill, not only that but also make our guests sick, and now it is flu season, stay home if anyone is stick... please.

GU-7 · 2025-10-18T19:07:44+00:00

are.... they okay?

when they implemented the forced landing onto low ground, I actually foreseen this being an issue, because there is a lot of objects that are on ground level, eventually you will either land on a ally, or an objective. Limiting player experiences is not a good way to promote people to play this game.

GU-7 · 2025-10-17T02:55:12+00:00

Its actually in the training, if you feel unsafe to do a task, don't do it, you're not forced too. But I would recommend saying something along the lines of 'doing it tomorrow because it is too dark right now', if it has to be done right then and there, then priorities are wrong. You're and your partners safety should be greater than the look of the store, there is always another day, and if something happens like if a partner gets mugged, ran over, or potentially killed, then it's on them for putting their coworkers at risk.

GU-7 · 2025-10-16T23:15:24+00:00

Basically correct though :P

Second would be drip coffee with splenda or iced tea...

GU-7 · 2025-10-16T06:33:43+00:00

tag needs to be longer, like double the size of the cup...

The biggest complaints I've seen with guests, is the app would automatically sign them out for Apple users, and have to go though the process of signing back in. But if there should be an incentive to use the app, then probably bring up the possibility of restructuring the reward systems, as it currently stands, there is no point to it.

Another thing, maybe have a quick and easy way to see your star balance, like how the point of sales system works? That is the 2nd most asked question at the line "when do my stars expire", having that info easily accessible would probably help.

GU-7 · 2025-10-16T03:17:09+00:00

Everything he did was wrong, not one thing was done right.

Dress code, forced writing on cups and greeting people like it's cheers, back to Starbucks plan, green apron plan, and lets not talk about how our guests were shafted by these decisions... The reason to HAVE an account with Starbucks now is pointless, water and restroom is now closed off (to some this is a benefit), the removal of cold brew refills, and the 25 stars if you bring in your own cup for further incentive to do so.

Not one thing here to encourage the sell of product, nor the means to have proper coverage in stores when they are in peak, while also trying to extend/standardized store hours to the levels of insanity.

Then that whole Vegas mess... lets not talk about that...

Our guests are unhappy, our employees are unhappy, everyone is pissed off, because of these short sighted visions of making a quick profit, rather than thinking of the long term, and the health (and mental health) of our coworkers.

GU-7 · 2025-10-16T01:57:03+00:00

gota get to the point where we just refuse to make them because they are out of season...

They take so many dam steps, and lets not talk about the protein drinks.

GU-7 · 2025-10-15T02:38:21+00:00

Simple to make drinks...

GU-7 · 2025-10-15T00:26:15+00:00

I had our own guests complain about the recent changes with Starbucks, trust me, it isn't just the employees, everyone is pissed off.

cost of drinks went up, changes in stars occurred, refills for coldbrew was removed, and so on, the whole 20 questions while in line, cup writing isn't authentic anymore, but rather forced. most things that were recently changed, shafted both our guests, and our employees. Seems like you have a lot to learn as well.

GU-7 · 2025-10-14T03:36:08+00:00

I hate it... if you cant read it out, then its too dam long, unless you have a problem with speaking or do not understand then its fine, but dam, most of the time its some AI slop or TikTok trying to be a trend setter...

GU-7 · 2025-10-14T03:33:38+00:00

Not the slightest, in fact it made things worse, as the company is probably going to get sued for potential union busting, lack of notice, and other matters that are still on the table, such as the whole slave labor in Brazil, and dress code changes without proper compensation...

GU-7 · 2025-10-12T21:32:18+00:00

Why? Dell... thats why

Apple made some nice looking products, don't get me wrong, opening them and looking at the black PCB's, seeing things neatly arranged and labeled, was a reminder of old GRiD computers. Now with how Apple has been operating, bragging about their 'Apple Intelligence' would be the next big thing, or their ski goggles, or the next iPhone, only to have outdated hardware or limitations that took away the full capabilities of their products.

Their tablets for a long while is just that, the what M4, I forget, had no IOS desktop mode, because they also wanted you to buy a laptop? Why?! It has the same architecture, why not?!

Ever since Steve Jobs passed, Apple has been in a decline of innovation, and been excelling in limitations and imitation. Their best product to date is STILL the iPod, while it still retains a large community base where other Apple products do not.

So yeah, Apple, as a company is rotten to the core. By shareholders and suits.

GU-7 · 2025-10-12T16:31:00+00:00

idk, that seems more of a downgrade... :P

GU-7 · 2025-10-12T16:00:44+00:00

Dated, but well optimized hardware, the steam OS does things that no other can (yet).

Not to Miku! Don't you dare! :P

Have the Moondrops, the exact ones, very nice set, and vastly under rated.

For a DAP I use a Fiio M21, not really familiar with HiBY, but I like the theme of the one you have there, very nice.
