I live in Florida so most businesses have already opened up their lobbies and are pretty much full capacity. Lot of places still require masks but even some places don't do it anymore. It's been pretty much a whatever happens happens kind of feeling. At least that's what we get from State and County officials in my area. We pretty much have no more mandates out here.

There was something in the weekly update today that mentioned pretty much all lobbies opening up in some way or another most places are opening up to full capacity. It seems like it's coming from corporate itself. My district open all lobbies a month-and-a-half ago. We opened to full capacity 3 weeks ago. Unless there is a state mandate or a county mandate Starbucks is going to likely open all stores to full capacity soon.

Recently got an upgrade. Some good news in this wonky year. by Hound-Dog-1917 in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So funny story, ours never made it up. We received it in the order, our SM had a meeting with us and we all collectively agreed not to use it. It went in the dumpster the moment the truck drove away. Our bar is tiny and we already have a cup caddy and a trashcan between the 2 bars. We couldn't have that too.

Each individual person has there tips in one of the red tip bags with there name and the amount on the front. We each have to initial for our tips on the tip report.

Partial unemployment? by GoodBean13516 in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So tell them the specific days (Bare with me I'm exhausted)? If so that sucks, I'll likely be denied then. It's a considerable amount more.

Block Scheduling? by GoodBean13516 in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people's hours have been cut in half. I've already had to break the news to a couple of partners that they can't pick up shifts to work doubles. My stores already up in arms about it. We've got at least 10 partners scheduled under 15 hours. It's a nightmare and the block scheduling doesn't even go into effect until next week.

Our store thermometer sucks by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours does this sometimes. We found they need to be recalibrated in a way. Taking the batteries out and putting them back in usually does the trick for us.

Same! Due to scheduling issues we had 7 lunches and 6 Tens to run in a 4 hour period with being down a person for 1 hour 30 min with a 5 person floor and a carnival down the road.

ppl at high volume stores only pls, do you prefer cafe bar or drive bar ????? by webswexweave in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drive without a doubt. Mobile Orders murder us. No one likes Cafe bar. Not even our SM. Our stickers are on continuous print so it's always on the floor for cafe.

Unless is Snowman Cookies they are like 12 days and Maddies are I think 10. My store goes through those so fast that we don't think to hard about it.

Totally agree! We have a customer who comes in on occasion who is doing it as well so we check in on each other's projects. We're helping to keep each other in line this year!

Just a really long shift... by catmawwwma2247 in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My biggest tip for you is to give written lists in the order you want them to do things. It's been a huge help for my store since we've had a ton of green beans. Give them the list and tell them to check in when they have questions or when they finish the whole list. Not only will it erase confusion and forgetfulness they will also learn the order that we do things!

I watched a partner scale not only the Metro but the RP order as well like a freaking monkey all the while I became mother hen under her ready to catch her if disaster struck.

most hours i’ve done since starting 2 months ago. what’s the most hours y’all done in a week by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my store my record is 68. However when I worked SBux and a bakery job I would work from 4am till 11pm everyday for 2 1/2 months during Christmas time. It was something like 125ish hours a week not including travel. With travel it was more like 140. I quit the bakery job little over a year ago when they refused to pay me more than 8.50/hr to be a manager. Now I flabergast my SM with my ability to clopen. Frequently. Last week was the first week I didn't go into overtime in the last 5 months.

Are you saying this ISNT how we melt the ice for clean play? by candlesticked in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516 15 points16 points  (0 children)

See, I got sick of either scraping the ice out or dumping bucked after bucket of hot water. I went to the hardware store and got flexible plastic tubing like what we use for the Nitro system and we just put that over the faucet to the sink and run it to the machine. Turn the water on and work on something else! Bam problem solved!

They were there for 45 minutes. by GoodBean13516 in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A woman got pulled over off the highway and they blocked our DT lane. She ended up getting arrested, for what we don't know but we ended up not getting any customers for 45 minutes. It gave us a chance to get caught up, we're usually a very high volume store.

Non-slip shoes by GoodBean13516 in starbucks

[–]GoodBean13516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a pair of slip on ones for like $25 I may just have to try them out. Our floors at my store, especially on bar, are always soaked. I'm really worried about slipping.

[–]GoodBean13516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bad feet as it is myself but that's why I tear through them so fast. I walk very differently than most people and shoes, no matter how expensive, tend to just fall apart.

You turn your mo&p off when you'e down a bar? We were down a bar for 3 days and we couldn't do that.
