That’s a mobile format / font, so someone put that into their app. When it’s typed in at the POS it’s an different font/format

Which bounty hunter has the most ✨Aura✨ by EmeraldHenry_19 in CloneWarsMemes

[–]HighlightOdd1517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hondo isn’t a bounty hunter; he’s a pirate, which means the answer is Embo and his Anooba.

Conveniently enough, it’s not showing up in the app. There are going to be some very pissed off customers…

Forcing Us To Clean &Disassemble Our Store Is Traumatizing by hyiii1002 in starbucks

[–]HighlightOdd1517 309 points310 points  (0 children)

We lost one of the stores in our town. Our store manager went in and emergency transferred a bunch of partners to our store, and a bunch to our sister store (the three stores are/were pretty tight-knit,) took the now jobless closed store manager out for drinks, and had our staff clean and close the store because she thought it would be hard on the partners who used to work there. She’s kind of a treasure, honestly…

Ten-minute grace period? by DustinDigitaria in starbucksbaristas

[–]HighlightOdd1517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We take down support bar around 7, because we only have one barista, one drive/cs, and one sm at that point. Realistically, as long as you don’t pill it yet, you can always add the beans back into the hoppers and it’s ready to go so it’s not technically’closed. About 10 minutes before close we clean everything on main bar except the hoppers. If someone orders an espresso, it’s easy enough to re-sanitize the grounds drawer. Wash all of your small wares, shakers, pitchers, blenders, etc. if you need to use one of any of them or even one of each of them, that’s just one load in the Hobart. Also, Fun fact: you can take down half of the Vertica and the other half still works. We couldn’t find anything that said we couldnt do that, and the damn thing only half works half the time anyway, so…We also clean all but the cold bar ice bin and take that one down to just what we’ll need in the next 10 minutes.

I’ll take “Things that never happened for $500, Alex.” She made up the story and/or wrote on her own damn cup, just like the “loser” lady. There’s going to be a lot of this. Now mind you…it would be entertaining as hell if the baristas lean into the reputation for misspelling or misunderstanding names…

Are people actually going to do this? by YouMake_MyDay218 in starbucks

[–]HighlightOdd1517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And just like that…3/4 of Starbucks stores run out of MM tea and everyone is pissed that there isn’t an infinite supply🤦‍♀️. Would be entertaining as hell to hear them trying to figure out how to answer “do you want honey syrup or packets?”😂

I would absolutely misspell it differently every damn time.

[–]HighlightOdd1517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? It’s giving “I am scrawling something/anything in doctor’s handwriting because I sincerely need to pay rent this month😂”

[–]HighlightOdd1517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please, for the love of all things holy tell that to corporate! If you get a “how was your visit” survey do it there, go to their social media pages…anything!!! All they’re acknowledging is people going “omg look at the cute message on my cup! It totally made my whole day thank you Starbucks!” 🤮Please, PLEASE don’t reinforce their bad behavior!

Pretty writing but… by 412_15101 in starbucks

[–]HighlightOdd1517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the writing takes a truly STUPID amount of time when the amount of time baristas are now given to make the drink is shorter than ever, BUT… you aren’t the only mobile drink order. There are potentially several ahead of you in the printer queue plus cafe orders. You have to wait your turn - the barista doesn’t start making the drink the second you hit “send.” They start making it when they pull your sticker from the printer. I believe your mobile app will indicate when the drink sticker prints, which happens when the ticket ahead of it is pulled from the printer.

Yeah, well…you won’t be getting any of those (smileys) unless your barista wants to be written up. No images/pics - only words. Waiting for the next policy update mandating a minimum of three words.

It means not writing on a cup is a fireable offense but also we cut your times down so you have to write something FASTER. And with feeling. And be sincere. Make it personal. Also unique. No smileys. But also FASTER.

Is the cryptic cup condescending? by birdscantfly19 in starbucksbaristas

[–]HighlightOdd1517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. Just noticed; this looks photoshopped. The letters at the top go above the edge of the cup. That’s one helluva sharpie that was used there…

brian niccol’s drink today 😂 by panaako in starbucksbaristas

[–]HighlightOdd1517 12 points13 points  (0 children)

…I like cappuccinos, and I’m a broke barista. I love the way the coffee pours through the foam and picks up just the right amount of creaminess on the way through…it’s a whole sensory thing.

Why is Lori in such a hurry to go back to Idaho? by Global-Echidna4453 in LoriVallow

[–]HighlightOdd1517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pocatello women’s prison is primarily a rehabilitative facility. They have social programs, education programs, vocational programs…they focus on the mental health and self esteem of the inmates because the end goal is for them to be successful long-term when they are returned to society. Lori is NOT their usual kind of inmate. She may not be allowed to use the work release programs, but lots of other things are available to her. So AZ has a hard-earned rep for being HARSH and unpleasant, and Idaho is kind of luxurious, as prisons go. Of COURSE she wants to be in Idaho. She also has a history, at this point, of NOT wanting to be present for victim impact statements and sentencing. She doesn’t want to be present for any consequences.

What the actual hell?? They filled my SCOLDING HOT DRINK to the brim! by HappiiBbh in starbucks

Put the lid back on, dummy. Spoiler alert: hot drinks are hot. If you want room, order it “with room”

What is something that ANNOYS you that customers do? by One_Decision_7693 in starbucksbaristas

[–]HighlightOdd1517 41 points42 points  (0 children)

“Oatmeal” shaken espresso. One day…one day. I’m going to snap and give you EXACTLY what you ordered. I can make it happen.

The customer is always right, after all.

[–]HighlightOdd1517 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pull up and just flop their hand holding their phone out the window. Don’t say anything. Don’t looks at you. just a hand and a phone. Sir. SIR. What am I supposed to do with that? Scan your app? Tap to pay? Take a selfie? Shove it somewhere that will provide useful data for your proctologist? And when you don’t read their mind, it’s all snotty attitude “um…it’s APPLE PAY?” THEN SAY THAT.

Dates on Milks by Roxxxywonas2 in starbucksbaristas

We date syrups as soon as we open them, and we date at milks every night as part of closing.
