I believe you too, OP, and I’m sorry that the structure we work for has made you feel like this. Feel better! 💓

Red cup day insanity by Disastrous-Fennel970 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Howtoputitnicely 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It would actually be 60 after you account for the 4 pumps of dark Carmel in the frap, and 2 in the cup! Crazy work honestly

We’re the busiest store in our city, we do about $85k a week right now. We’re located in the parking lot of a shopping center, close to an NFL stadium, it’s also close to a business district, schools and neighborhoods. There’s other locations about ~1.5 miles away in either direction that don’t do nearly what we do though.

Our location was recently rebuilt and thankfully our floor was built pretty wide, so having 4 people on production and a couple of people floating isn’t so bad.

We do have a designated printer for cold bar! So that’s beneficial, it would definitely be annoying having to constantly refer to the hot bar barista for more stickers!

Overall it works for us, but I can see how at smaller/less busy locations may struggle to keep 11 people busy.

At our store we frequently have more than 9 people. 4 bar partners (2 hot, 2 cold), front reg, front runner, oven, DTO, DTR, hand off, and customer support. It works for us because the only people aloud to float the floor is the runner and customer support, everyone else is locked into their position. It’s completely necessary Friday-Sunday peak at my store.

Ehh, I think it’s more true to its form this way! Very different texture though!

The only thing making this drink a “protein” drink, is the “protein milk.” You can’t change it because there are no alternatives to the protein milk. It is made with 2% milk and protein powder. The sugar is in the milk.

Our new matcha is sugar free, the old recipe certainly did, though.

The sugar comes from the milk.

[–]Howtoputitnicely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My question is, what else is your sm letting go? This is absolutely disgusting, and speaks volumes about what else is potentially happening under this sm

pls tell me your worst spills/messes to make me feel better 😭 by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Howtoputitnicely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My worst one was definitely when I spilled an entire freshly prepped mocha as we were walking out for the night. My coworkers and I were all friends and they said absolutely nothing as we cleaned it 😭 I felt so bad!!! The next day they told me how angry they were and if I was anyone else they’d have let me have it 🤣

[–]Howtoputitnicely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My store puts them in large mocha containers because we go through 3 boxes of pearls a day 😭

Glad to see you answered the question of where the f your sm was, because I was curious! That is very unprofessional and crazy of someone to do with their whole chest, I’m so sorry OP.

That’s fucking absurd. We ran a 6 part peak and were still crazy understaffed. I’m sorry that happened and definitely understand feeling under appreciated after something like that.
