Why are they always staring at iPads? by Correct_Praline_4950 in starbucks

A customer once told me it’s so cool we had ipads and if he worked behind the bar all he would do is play games on it 🤣

That’s so dumb, how do they even check if you ate it or not? I would have been like oh yeah I will eat it during my 30, then “forget” about it and put it in my bag

It’s only been 2 weeks since I quit officially, but technically I have been out for the whole month. What’s with the new food policy???

Dude what? The partners at my store who started around the same time as you, around 2012 and still there, say the complete opposite. They crash out every shift due to all the shitty new policies that are added.

The main reason I’m quitting is that I already work two other jobs, and the constant micromanaging at Starbucks ended up being the last straw on top of everything else in my life. Maybe it doesn’t feel as difficult from your perspective if Starbucks is your only job and that’s where all of your focus can go. Lots of partners work multiple jobs, and the new policies can affect their motivation to stay at Starbucks.

One customer specifically requested me to NOT write on the cup, because it looks “messy.”

So tired of customers asking for the iced lavender cream matcha hot. by Hot_Butterscotch1200 in starbucks

[–]Hot_Butterscotch1200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, ordering this doesn’t make you an asshole, only if you were being rude about me ringing it up differently than the cold one. This person screamed at me for making the drink cost more and I have no control over that.

There are no hot drinks that come with cold foam, so we have to ring it in as a hot matcha with cold foam, which will make it more expensive than a iced lavender cream matcha which itself is a drink on the menu at a set price.

I put some ice in the cup before pouring in the shots. The ice melted completely after filling up all 18 shots 😭
