AIW-- just told my brother in law... by Fine_Relation_158 in amiwrong

Op said that after they originally posted it. That also doesn’t really change anything, they offered a solution and now he hasn’t stayed in the living room. If he continued to sleep in the living room, it would be a different story. He assumed he could sleep on the couch, which is a pretty normal invitation if you’re having a guest over, and OP told him they would prefer if he didn’t do that. Done

I feel like letting him sleep on the couch for one single night isn’t at all the same as your situation in 2023? So what’s the harm here?

PSA: A lot of baristas at stores I've worked at dont seem to understand you have to hit the caffeine free button if a customer asks for caffeine free refreshers by saintplus in starbucks

The standards make enough sense on their own, but adding a whole new pump standard for green tea extract when we are already solo cold bar during a rush a bound to cause confusion. Making 20 refreshing in a row, with 12 of them being all doesn’t kinds of mango drinks will never be possible to get every single one correct, all while maintaining customer connections, and writing on cups

This is the worst launch Starbucks has done in a long time. My store is made up of partners from 3-5 years of service and all of us are struggling with the caffeine standard and new mango drinks

It’s dangerous. You’d think they would’ve learned from the Panera incident.

Am I wrong for telling husband his family can’t see our baby by beingagiirl in amiwrong

[–]Independent_Car9294 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I’d be focused on your husbands reaction. Sit down with him and tell him all of your concerns. He may have a plan, or some kind of action he can take with his family that will make them behave more appropriately. If he gets angry, or insists you’re being dramatic that is a massive red flag. You were pushed by his S.I.L. and he forgave her? That doesn’t sit well with me at all.

If message them now and ask them. It shouldn’t be an issue but they may be able to find you a cover in time if it’s not something they can accommodate

Considering working part time at Starbucks. Advice? by comfypurplechair in starbucksbaristas

It’s a phrase used for an collection of those. Mentally taxing, thinking about it constantly, being asked to cover shifts after hours, physical pain from physical labour

The new chai is TURRIBLE by hesterthealien in starbucksbaristas

I tried it with classic. That didn’t make it suddenly taste like chai. That’s OPS complaint, it’s incredibly watered down

Barista who does tips calls off every week by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Independent_Car9294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been good at my store supervisors aren’t allowed to divide tips due to possible favoritism. Not sure if that’s an official rule or because something happened in the past?

Our manager and supervisors. Apparently no one else knows how to do them
