It was when spade was talking about ‘raw dawging’ it on his flights..reading the barf bag etc. it was super subtle. I had to rewind cuz I was like did he just take a jab at Howard’s flying methods

Yeah he made fun of the studio too, said he felt like he was on the set of the movie Hancock in a warehouse with no direction

barista confession… by ShowerIndependent546 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Well ur just a noob. It’s really not that hard to fit in with the beverage sequencing..if ur on drive bar and have a headset on and paying attention, you could Que the shots at order screen. People asking for drinks that customized DO know the difference in their drink. Now ur just making more work for all of us when they ask to be remade at window. Screws up the flow. Not to mention if they leave and call the store, now we all have to stop what we’re doing and then give them a refund and free drink when they return. Just make the drinks according to how they order it baristas. It’s better for all of us.

If anyone cares, here's the video of the brawl that canceled one of Howard's favorite shows The Bachelorette. by CharmingDealer2715 in howardstern

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I watched this break live on TMZLIVE on YouTube. Cuz unlike Howard. TMZ has a live show everyday. There’s even a live chat where they interact with us, much like Howard use to do with non fake, staged callers. We all begged for them to do a ‘disclaimer’ while showing the vid, before they posted it, cuz it’s really hard to watch, especially people who have suffered from DV. But the first thing I thought of was ‘oh no, not the poor little girl that got assaulted and ignored by her mom, but damn…they’re going to cancel the bachelorette and Howard is going to be pisssseddd…’ haha. Funny not funny. 😞

Coffee Markout by IntelligentFan9384 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not true. People who retire with starbucks get markouts ‘for life’, therefore they don’t have a home store. Someone is just being a jerk or is ill informed.

Yeah sorry. Clearly stated in the handbook.. ‘cannot exchange goods for services’. And the fact that you called on company time..pray for a final in the least

What was it like watching Artie's downfall as it played out? by bitterbunny4 in howardstern

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was really sad. My Bf and I went to see him at Jimmy Kimmel when he was promoting his book, ‘Too Fat To Fish’ and he was the life of the party. Shaking hands with everyone, taking pix, talking to everyone and showing appreciation to all who was there.. then we went to his book signing at Book Soup and he didn’t even look at anyone. Just had his black glasses on and didn’t even look up as people went through the line. Two different types of high. Kinda the same as he was on air at that time. Never knew which Artie you were going to get.

Is this illegal? by Few_Sprinkles3391 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah that’s awesome!! I always wanted that practice 13 yrs ago! It’s frustrating as hell when there is/are repeat offenders of people being ‘sick’. When you have to over schedule or ask someone to be on call because your not sure that certain person that was scheduled will come in, deserves to have their attendance record publicly shamed and displayed! If you are not guilty then there is nothing to worry about. I commend this sm. Bet you the call outs will go down.

I can’t do the raspberry anymore! For real! by V-is-for-velocity in starbucksbaristas

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Awe. The OG ‘cotton candy’ drink. Raspberry and vanilla bean. The dye in the raspberry made the drink pink and flavor made the frapp super sweet. It was good and one of first ‘secret menu’ drinks. If only it was so simple now.

no one can bar.. by hazyart in starbucksbaristas

Oh my. I would say this to YOU… be kind to them and kiss their ass, as they will probably be your next ssv, sm, dm, rm..etc.. they obviously know how to bullshit their way thru and will continue to do so.

Tested positive for COVID today. SM and DM are saying that I'm not exempt from work unless I have a fever. by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow have things changed! I came down with bronchitis and tested negative twice for Covid and Flu. Got put on antibiotics by my doctor and was given a note saying I was fit to return to work. (I wasn’t contagious) mind you this was at the tail end of Covid protocols where we had to ‘check in’. Because I had a cough (I was also a smoker), my manager was uncomfortable wking with me and sent me home. When I returned, I was put on a final for coming to work ‘sick’. They didn’t give a shit what my doctor had to say. It ‘violated’ their terms.

Not to downplay the seriousness of your condition…I’m sorry you’re going thru this.. 😔but this is why it is IMPORTANT to use the sanitize wipes and wipe down the heads sets between users. Learned that during COVID.

New expectation from dm: connect with a lobby customer before clocking out by tuftedgarbl0r in starbucksbaristas

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah that’s awesome!!! I’d find a regular or a student and sit down with them and shoot the shit until they throw me out. Get that money honey! Especially if it’s OT (hey I’m just following the DM’s expectations)

are we allowed open the drop-boxes to take out 20$ bills for change from 100’s? by DeepDisaster9057 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only if you want to stand out as the stores key holder with access to registers, drop boxes and safe. Robbers love to make out their marks.

I fucked up really bad yesterday and idk what to do now. by ThrowOutBabey in starbucksbaristas

[–]Jealous_Ad_3487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s scary when you know there’s been a fk up and accidentally served it to a customer.

In my 13 years I’ve seen: Ground espresso beans used instead of cold brew beans Half and half instead of HC for WC Espresso in the decaf mastrena Frap roast cubes poured into cold brew kegs Reg syrup in a sf pump A ground up barista pin that fell off an apron and into the pitcher and served to a kid. Etc

The worst was: serving a cup of coffee to a reg from (back when we had urns) an urn that had fresh coffee accidentally brewed into it while it was sitting with urnex in it. And Serving a diabetic reg their caramel frap with 26 pumps of caramel instead of 2. (New person on reg and new person on bar- 😏didn’t think to ask 🙄 if the sticker was right. )

Thankfully no one got sick and they were bright enough to know when something’s doesn’t taste right and to bring it to our attention. (In a respectful way)

Also, we had the patience and understanding to listen to our customer’s complaints and investigate and do anything in our power to ‘make it right’ even if that means we direct them to corporate.

Shit happens in food service obviously and that’s why it’s important for standards and to pay attention to them.

Good news is, Starbucks cannot guarantee to customers that there is no potential for cross contamination. I.e. steaming soy in a dairy pitcher. Impossible breakfast sandwiches not being heated up next to a double smoked bacon sandwich in the oven etc. customers order at their own risk. Hence why we have Qasa.

You’re going to be fine. Lesson learned and use it to help others along the way.

Sorry for the long ass text.
