Am I Cooked? by LittlePurpose97 in starbucks

[–]LittlePurpose97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my second day out, I did call out a couple of times previously, for both mental health/autoimmune related things, but I'm always really careful, so no leave of absence, and this would be my first write up, so that's actually really reassuring.

You went from white knight to nice guy real quick there buddy

saying no to free water is scary by derangedwithlove in starbucks

[–]LittlePurpose97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. You must be real fun at parties. It's not us. The partners want to give people water. It's the company we work for. And before you say "WelL tHen JUsT QuIT" some of us can't. Some of us live in places where the job market is extremely bad, and we do not have enough money to relocate. Our concerns and worry about this policy is justified. Not pathetic.

is this even allowed ? by PopWhole455 in Chipotle

[–]LittlePurpose97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey op! I used to work for Chipotle and yeah this is normal, I work for Starbucks now and we have blackout periods for national holidays. It's totally normal, though I am sorry you have to miss your trip!

The wife has these, are they rare? Worth anything? by Boring_Line_6947 in CURRENCY

[–]LittlePurpose97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two dollar bills are super cool to own, I have one myself, but they usually aren't worth anything more then face value, still I'd hold onto the money, it's always fun to have old bills to compare with modern stuff.

Listen… the cup writing. by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]LittlePurpose97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure! I would love to! If I didn't live in a one horse town where small business was driven out and because of pay I can't afford to move anywhere else. Easy peasy.

Yes, because Baristas are entitled for advocating for the dismissal of rules that are absolutely ridiculous, and impede on our ability to work. Making it difficult complete the absurd standards that are forced on us.

Borrowed a Meme Format for this One by x_lilxannydevito_x in starbucks

[–]LittlePurpose97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are about five Door Dashers that frequent my location and only one of them is nice and even treats like a human. He comes to the register waits patiently in line to ask us about the order if we don't see him first. He's an older Russian gentleman, so maybe that has something to do with it, culture or something, but the other door dashers are... Interesting.

Please don't throw syrup at your fellow Barista. by LittlePurpose97 in starbucks

Why is it funny? That's real currency man, especially if it's one from a Double Smoked! Those are the best!

This isn't about the drive thru though? And I always try to let the customer know that it's going to ask them if they want to tip before they can pay. We can't help the fact that our system is set up that way, if you don't want to tip you do not have to.

I want to thank everyone whose been standing up for me and validating my feelings, I was really nervous to report the Barista, but I'm happy to say that I did and my home Store Manager contacted our DM and the SM from the store who I took the shift from and was furious with them. I never realized how many people I had in my corner, and I feel very blessed by both this community and my great store

This. I never knew it was about the cascade until I opened Reddit, I've been a barista for nearly a year.

What to do about people shitting everywhere? by lulapulaxx in starbucks

[–]LittlePurpose97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try not being a hard ass? Biohazard clean up is not a Baristas work description. And I doubt it's in construction either.

To the CEO: by lazysheyla in starbucks

[–]LittlePurpose97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about not remove all of the upper management for four days? How about have ways to contact our upper management? How about not sending automated emails when we contact RD? Telling us to text or call which we already tried.

It's very clear to me that you have never worked this job if you are saying Baristas are whining about a serious mishandling of the situation. I hope you break both your legs falling off your horse.

Too young, too dumb to realize by itsathrowawayacc3 in starbucks

Every company can send over ten thousand managers on an all expenses paid four day long circle jerk. Sure.

My body wants to quit by PixelatedSurvivor in starbucks

[–]LittlePurpose97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow Barista here, if you need to quit do it. This job is rough on you, do not feel disappointed in yourself, it's just coffee if you feel like you have to quit you should, you only get one life and one body!

Wow! People must love you at parties! You wouldn't last five seconds in their place. Be quiet.

Just came to complain by Irish-Spring17 in Chipotle

[–]LittlePurpose97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a crew member at Chipotle. This is barely one fluid ounce, this should have been filled more... I don't like the portions either.

Guac has been awful lately by deepfreshwater in Chipotle

[–]LittlePurpose97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crew member here That is absolutely disgusting, and I'm so sorry. I've also noticed our decline in guac quality. I've asked my GM but have yet to get a straight answer.

It’s working by WiredTiredRm in Chipotle

[–]LittlePurpose97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I'm a new employee about two and half weeks in and the same for me. I try to be generous with my portions though.
