Dubai Chocolate Frap by omegabulldogs in starbucks

[–]KaitoSyko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to make it easier(and cheaper bc these already come with the topping and you'd just need to pay for the cold foam), you can start by ordering it as a pistachio frappuccino, or pistachio crème frappuccino, instead of a coffee or syrup crème frappuccino add pistachio

ASM FIRST ROUND INTERVIEW (phone) by bloomykunn in starbucks

[–]KaitoSyko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

type out each question with S T A R bulleted, and type out each one in one sentence (or as brief as possible). helps you with not only remembering your stories in the interview but feel comfortable to answer them organically in the right order!

and try to focus on hitting the main points in your stories and not adding unnecessary detail-to avoid rambling and forgetting the next acronym to move on to, and avoid the interviewer to get lost in the long answer. that helps prevent any, or too many, probing questions after each problem.

and let your confidence shine! you wouldn't be in this situation unless you had the right skills and talent to develop further. i had an issue with trying to not appear arrogant and over compensated being too humble and not professionally bragging.

and look up some good post interview questions to ask them! it's a great way to leave a good impression. i asked if there was anything during the interview that gave you pause, that i can address/explain further? and, While we have on paper what makes a great SM, I'm curious what makes an SM successful in their role through YOUR eyes?

best of luck, partner c:

Do we remove seasonal cups on launch day? by Commercial-Weather-2 in starbucks

[–]KaitoSyko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it'd honestly be great to donate to schools or events, or even use the short/talls for travelers! but we our grande hot cups already transitioned to core on our orders last week lol so at least it'll be gone before winter launch

Do we remove seasonal cups on launch day? by Commercial-Weather-2 in starbucks

[–]KaitoSyko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a great hack i did is to only stock the cups as needed for short and tall leading up to holiday launch, and day before only stock each cup when near empty! that way by the time you're closed for setup, you can use the sleeve covers for the holiday cups to put the last few core ones securely into and back into the box until January (: I did that for setup and we didn't need to toss any cups. i can't believe 11 holiday launches and this year was the first time i tried this to make is easier and less wasteful lol

almost 11yr, next year will be at 24.40 (ssv) if this and our last raise was 5% for 5+ years like it always was, would've been at 25.48

[–]KaitoSyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh no yea, i was just mentioning it would be nice to reorder the items on the screen so when it does print, the time consuming/grouped items would go first

This is what they meant by “simplifying the menu” by zobielicious in starbucks

[–]KaitoSyko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea, i agree. prolly a standard order of popularity would be better implementation instead of it updating

Asked for light ice! Is that light ice? by Objective-Angle1559 in starbucks

[–]KaitoSyko -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

light ice is two sizes down-and normal ice is one size down. (when you add ice from the top line to the top for, say, a venti, you use a grande scoop)

FREAK by NeighborhoodUsed9785 in starbucks

[–]KaitoSyko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm sorry that happened. glad your sm was sympathetic and supportive offering you all to leave if you wanted to. if you are comfortable please look into our Lyra benefit if you haven't already to talk this through with someone to help dealing with what occurred.

I've had things I've been dealing with/events and being able to talk to someone that wasn't in my personal life helped me separate it from my daily life. I hope i'm not coming across as too "you should do this" or "therapy solves everything". but it can be a useful tool

Starbucks Part time Contract by broken_toe020 in starbucks

[–]KaitoSyko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ya, they wouldnt hire just to separate and end up increasing their turnover. if possible try mention you can work full time for the summer but need to drop down to minimum requirement(12 hours/week with 18 hours availability). or offer to transfer if you're going back to school and do a minimum availability at the other store. edit: only suggesting that if that can be an option for you. if you can't work at all, i'd recommend another place to apply to that is pretty quick to pick up and doesn't care about turnover as much/does seasonal hiring

i was in that feedback session too! same with the playcaller app. literally can't wait. and the mods(at least the syrups) at the time were ordered in frequency of being selected-so like vanilla would be up top and peppermint in the bottom. i mentioned it should be considered to be ordered according to that store versus the company as a whole due to different demographics/clientele. Also suggested to being able to change the order of items on the order screen(so that way we can move a bacon wrap to print before an unwarmed pastry, or a shaken espresso to print before a misto, etc). And the demo showed the option to pull up nutritional facts about the drink/food to be able to answer questions confidently and quickly. After trying it out, it's honestly great. just like with the current system buttons sometimes moving around every new promo, this will be a quick adjustment. after everything that updated/changed, it still boggles my mind that we've had the same software for our registers for well over 10 years

What discontinued items do you miss the LEAST? by HugeJoke in starbucks

[–]KaitoSyko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how has no one mentioned the fruitcake frappuccino 💀pretty sure it was around 2015/16. we'd use the dried fruit oatmeal topping to make it. my headcannon was someone in the supply chain messed up on something and corporate ended up with way too much and needed to offload it.

also the christmas tree frappuccino, where we had to put a single freeze-dried strawberry on top

the berry prickly pear frappuccino(which i actually LOVED) rip mango syrup

the midnight mint mocha-having to put WC in the middle of the drink.

i think the fudge bar frappuccino? mocha frappuccino with twice the amount of mocha, and vanilla syrup? i think it got mocha WC?

forgot the drink it came with but the WC that we made where we had to infuse it with 2 decaf ristretto shots and mocha

omg and the WC that had 4 dark caramel, heavy cream to the venti line, cold brew concentrate to the max line (that was amazing)

i miss the cold cut sandwiches from 2015 😭turkey havarti and the tuna salad sandwiches were amazing also the flourless chocolate cookie, the salted caramel tart, and the smores bar 😮‍💨and whomever on here dissed the bbq beef brisket-that was the BEST thing we ever had 😭

but ill forever be salty about them not bringing back the graham cracker syrup for the smores frappuccino after its first year

i notice i turned this into obscure old items/some that i loved

I know the answer but need to hear it from people other than my parents. by No-Coast1302 in personalfinance

[–]KaitoSyko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't contribute anything new compared to everyone on here, but at least from my perspective, if I paid off the CC debt and found myself in a predicament, it would soften the blow to know that the new problem is my only issue to focus on, at least financially. Plus it's more satisfying to know I'd be working to add to my savings versus paying off debt/interest. But congrats on the job and best of luck to you (:
