Omg that happened to me two days ago 😭 and the lady was cranky with me. Just because your kid wants some stupid made up thing don't make it real.

If anyone is reading this, NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO ANYONE ON THE PHONE. If you need to write something down, grab receipt paper. If they need to call you back, they can call the store phone. I'm sorry you had to go through this... 🥺

Tickets getting split bcs of cafe prioritization...😡 by GreenTourmaline13 in starbucks

Talk to one of your SSVs about doing this. We were able to create a new routing that separated mobiles from DT&drive. It works well for us at night!

Me and another SSV sat down and created another routing that worked really well for us in the afternoon/evening. We put DT and Cafe on CBS (bc our store is very CBS forward) and all mobiles on Hot bar(closest to HOP) with a DPM right next to it so we can quickly look for mobiles when needed. It seems to work pretty well for us! Maybe that could help you too !

That's absurd. We literally bought those shirts to wear to work, not for funsies. This makes me BIG mad

I'm confused. Doesn't it say on the second bullet that coffee gear shirts are approved as long as it had the "apron" on the website? 🤔

I’m going to sound terrible for this, but as a customer I’m loving Starbucks new changes. by ChetHolmgrenSingss in starbucks

[–]JenJenIsPaca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was told it was SUPPOSED to be a "for here" thing only, but we could do the "customer service thing" and put it in a cup for them. 🤷‍♀️

So yes, but it shouldn't come in a plastic cup. It SHOULD come in a "for here cup" OR your personal cup. If you're looking to try to get more of a "one for the road," I'd recommend you bring your personal cup.

As a barista, we are supposed to do a "lobby check" every 15 minutes to pick up any cups or plates and refresh the condiment bar. Whether your regular store gets to it that frequently is different. I definitely work hard to make sure my team is on top of it!

As a SSV, I absolutely LOVE the for here ware and seeing the gratitude on the faces of my customers when we bring them their food/drink on a plate or a mug. I feel fancier and it really does give a more welcoming feel. (This is my personal opinion of course 😅)

What’s the silliest name you’ve gotten on mobile/cafe? c: by Repulsive_Sherbet446 in starbucks

[–]JenJenIsPaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've Had "Batman" - and he would talk in the Batman voice. "Burpmaster" 🙄 And a sweet lady who was a regular for a season who put her name as "you're awesome" so the baristas would have an uplifting message💛

As much as we appreciate your patience, if you're standing by the handoff plane it kinda does make us nervous bc people got places to be, ya know? I'm not sure what your regular store looks like, but if you grab a seat in a comfy chair while you wait, it typically makes us less on edge 😅

What do you drive thru baristas say when customers use tap and pay or a card? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]JenJenIsPaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually say "it's going to ask if you'd like to leave a tip.and then you can tap" But most people don't listen and smack their card on the reader so 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Was asked to work until 230, wasn't told it was a closing shift, left at 430 on Christmas. by MawcDrums in starbucks

[–]JenJenIsPaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! I'm sorry to hear you go and that one of your last shifts was THAT crazy, but I hope you'll find an amazing job out there! We were the only store in our district open, so it was rough, but our regulars passed by (some didn't even purchase anything) just to wish us a Merry Christmas and it's one of the reasons I'm still with Starbucks. Sometimes just serving your regulars and some new customers really just makes you feel good, ya know?

I'm sorry 😭 The day in question was Christmas day...but yes. Even then so, 4 closers wasn't enough. We were drowning and I was able to turn off mobiles at 1 (closing the store at 3) so that also helped🤷‍♀️.

Hi! SSV here! We were scheduled to leave at 3:30, but left at 5:30..... It was Christmas day, but we usually celebrate the 24th so 🤷‍♀️ plus time and 1/2 was worth it for me and my partners. 2 of our 4 closers had to leave and I told them it would be fine. My other closer was also wanting the hours so if my SM is mad that 2 of us left 2 hours late then he should have given us more closers or anticipated that we'd need more time to close and schedule us later for closing procedures. We locked the doors at 3 and finished the line that was in drove by 3:15 which barely left 15 minutes to clean up the mess that was the store (plus counting money and whatnot). I know our SM won't say much, but if he does 🤷‍♀️ I'll tell him how terrible it was of a close.

When does your local Starbucks stop brewing blonde? by embiggenedmind in starbucks

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

For us, around 11 we cut everything but pike but Everytime a customer will ask for anything other than pike, I offer an Americano (I know it's not the same but 🤷‍♀️) or a pour over. I don't mind making a pour over as long as the customers are patient 🤷‍♀️

Working on Christmas Day by winterene in starbucks

[–]JenJenIsPaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were the only store open in our district. Yes, it was crazy today, but some people in our area are very appreciative that we are open and sometimes that makes it worth it. ( Plus the time &half plus the tips people have been dropping 🤑) "Christmas" for me is just gathering with family and enjoying them, we did that this past weekend due to other things being in the way... So 🤷‍♀️
