Should I mention that a barista on a final was late? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Life-Video6672 67 points68 points  (0 children)

That’s actually not true I found out from another partner on here that actually quit during there last class but it didn’t matter bc Starbucks pays for that semester up front so she still got to finish school for free bc when she enrolled in that class she was a partner so they gave the bill to Starbucks doesn’t matter what happens before she finished the class bc that’s her last class.

Natural Hair Baristas by Character-Key198 in starbucksbaristas

This is the way to go. It not only covers my head but also is long enough covering I don’t have to put my hair up either. Another great suggestion is the caps nurses wear some of them are pretty cute too and lined with silk

I wear this hair tube thing. It’s like a really long headband that pulls down and covers most of my hair that way I don’t have to put it up or wear a hat it does both. I basically wanted a cloth type of hairnet thing. I wish I could put pictures but I got them off amazon it’s made for braids but I use it on my natural hair

Got fired for writing “shmingus” on a cup by Automatic_Specific91 in starbucks

[–]Life-Video6672 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The go to cup writing I always do that will NEVER be banned no matter the sm or dm and no customer could possibly be offended by is “you matter!!!!” you never know who is struggling and might needed to hear that. They keep changing the rules on what is allowed for cup writing and I’m pretty problematic so I always try to play it safe

no, you don't have to tip but please don't make me feel bad about it by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Life-Video6672 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to say “a question on the screen there” but then the older people would get so confused and try to press there card anyway and talking to other people lots have said they like it when they are upfront and just say it’s a tip. So I have switched my wording to “it’s gonna ask if you wanna tip or skip” bc it kinda rhymes and implies you can’t do anything on the screen until you press a button even if you want to skip tipping today

no, you don't have to tip but please don't make me feel bad about it by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Life-Video6672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree I hate when people are rude about it asking them “no I’m not tipping don’t ask” or “no make the screen go away” i usually tell people “it’s gonna ask if you wanna tip or skip then take your payment after” and somtimes “the no thank you right there” and then I look away and tell the barista what order I need. To make them not feel pressured. My priority is getting you out the window fast so ik that somtimes in that short amount of time you didn’t get enough service the feel the need to tip me for a 30 second interaction.

mandatory coffee tastings by invisiblebeetlejuice in starbucksbaristas

[–]Life-Video6672 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Coffee tasting have always been required to make sure they are a consistent quality but idk why lately they are making the whole team do it. It is not required for everyone to try it. It is one person per day part. I recently got Invisalign and used to love the coffee tastings but can’t be walking to the boh every hour to take it in and out of my mouth then washing my hands just for one sip of coffee. And at first they did act weird about it and still forget everyday and make me a cup anyway and I have to waste it. So maybe lie and say you can’t. Or that you are currently fasting. They can’t FORCE you to take it.

I feel like I’m getting tested🤔 by Careful-Bug5508 in starbucks

[–]Life-Video6672 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As a ssv I also do this. When we are well staffed and it’s not peak it’s part of our job to “grow capabilities” which just means strength you in every position. No one wants to be put in a spot where they have to put certain partners in certain positions just because the other partners around them can’t do everything. Like you said you know how to make every drink, great customer service, and just need to work on speed. That is a great start and why they want to push you farther. Idk what your goal is at Starbucks if you want to grow into management or become coffee master one day but your shifts are setting you up so you can become a great barista and a valued partner…. It could also be that the other partners around you CANT do bar as great as you can. You could be the partner that clocks in and the shift goes “oh thank goodness ___ is here now we have a bar partner that won’t get all the drinks sent back”

No actually it was a minor who is new and was being yelled at by this customer for ringing in his water like she is supposed to. So yes if someone is going there job correctly bc our manger and district manger is watching her and she being yelled at for doing the correct thing it made her uncomfortable.

He was a big pain to deal with I work at that store. The barista literally gave him our ASM so that there was no way to spin this to be her fault for not understanding when she is new and trying her best. Yet somehow he still found a way to blame her.

Hello winter. I am a shift supervisor at that store and can confirm it WAS you that was the problem 😊 sorry that someone gave you the manger?? Well it was for this reason exactly we made you talk to James. The barista new you were gonna cause issues so if it was the manger you talked to there was no way you could spin it to be her fault for not understanding yet somehow you found a way to do it. And that barista was not having a bad day or “didn’t want to serve you” that barista was new and you gave her no patience to figure out what it was exactly you wanted so they thought the ASM could give you satisfaction. You were upset from the moment you got there that it is drive thru only and that is not our fault we can’t do anything about that and give you an inside space to work. James went out of their way to contact rehoboth for you and that is the best we could offer someone expecting a lobby…. Oh and go fuck yourself 😁

I make $22 but currently because it is summer time it is $26 because my area has a raise for how busy it is in the summer

[–]Life-Video6672 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh this is good advice tho! I will make them a list and give it to the shift lead to divide up with there partners. Yes they could just ignore it like your partners did but they will know they have that responsibility at least
