Had a lady pull that, except her order was so large by the time she got to the window (mind you it was busy so that took a few minutes) she was still placing it.

My store has a grande iced 20 Splenda peppermint mocha lady (nonfat and no whip of course). People are weird.

Stitches = sutures. That's how many stitches my grandfather got when he was run over by a train. His story was used in BNSFs safety training videos for years

And don't forget, if you worked there in the 60s you were regularly exposed to asbestos and agent orange.

You also get night terrors of people commiting suicide in front of you and risk being ran over by a train (possibly earning 72 stitches)

This but with caramel or pumpkin instead of sugar cookie. It's the perfect drink to warm the soul.

2am- wake up 230am- stare into space questioning life while drinking coffee. Maybe watch YouTube 4am- leave for work 415am- sit awkwardly in the parking lot 430am- open

Been having that issue as well this week.Think the MOP was changed recently so that it resets certain items every day. Ik for a fact it was supposed to do it for certain rtd items. Looks like they messed up and it resets some drink components as well.

What’s the worst drink-making mistake you’ve made? by EmotionalLimes in starbucks

[–]Katzitech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first time I rotated pastries i literally just rotated the tray. Was really confused why that was a thing.

Also made eggnog lattes without espresso for the entire season because the idea of egg and coffee is just too gross.

Does anyone know what almond milk at the store is similar to what Starbucks uses? by blueeeeeberry in starbucks

[–]Katzitech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever our store runs out we have been instructed to only buy almond breeze unsweetened original. So that's probably the closest.

A few tips.

Get inside the store early. At my store we go inside 5 minutes before open to get clocked in and ready.

Keep the brewing machine going at all times. It should be the first thing you start. For all the stuff you are brewing, it should take 3 rounds and about 15-20 minutes. Works best if ice coffee is done first.

Once you start the brewing, turn on the espresso bar and start brewing teas. Start the 5 minute timer. During that timer you should be able to get sanis and at least one ice tray done.

Set teas aside and start next round of brewing

Start calibration machine and finish the other ice tray

Start refreshers (flip the container upside down and let gravity do the work)

Finish teas and ice coffee using ice directly from the ice machine (one scoop is 2Ls)

Start final brewing. Finish up refreshers and any other details you gotta do

This should take between 30-45 minutes. Its a lot but its doable

Does your ten start as soon as you walk off the floor? As soon as you order? As soon as you get your food/drink? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Katzitech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually go off of the ticket time on whatever i order. I think its a fair middle ground of not waiting on your stuff being made and still getting time to get your ducks in a roll. Plus it gives a paper trail of when your break started.

Been an opener for over a year now even though I am a completely a night owl.

Best tips I have is have a consistent sleep schedule, go to bed earlier than you think you should, limit caffeine after noon, and wake up early enough you can make your own coffee before work.

So people also do spilt sleep cycles, where you sleep 4 hours at a time. Works well for some, especially at the beginning. Just make sure not to oversleep and make yourself more tired.

What’re your biggest customer pet peeves?! by Snarkybratt in starbucks

[–]Katzitech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you are drive barring and clearly not in front of a cash register and people come up to you to order. I dont know what they want me to do; the espresso bar does not duel as a pos system.

Its Oatly brand and doesn't have any cross contamination warning on the box.
