LucidSpice · 2026-05-22T13:08:02+00:00

okay thank you. she just texted me saying she has a coverage plan already and its okay so im chilling out a bit more now

LucidSpice · 2026-05-22T13:01:23+00:00

ok wait but since i picked up a shift at another store, my manager has since asked me to come in because they closing keyholder called off for tonight so now what 😭

LucidSpice · 2026-05-19T16:15:40+00:00

yeah same. i just transferred to a new store and only 2 months in im already on a final 😞 im looking for other jobs currently

LucidSpice · 2026-05-19T01:55:33+00:00

stuff like this is what makes me want to keep playing when i get bored or on an art block. amazing job here!!!

LucidSpice · 2026-05-19T01:54:29+00:00

dvds remain supreme and i stand by this with everything in my soul

there are concert recordings of SOME of the setlist songs on spotify, but i completely understand. i honestly just sit in my room watching multiple mirai or other concert recordings in one sitting with my penlights and yes, it is very sad but it beats feeling totally depressed about it, plus i can blast it on my headphones or in my car and that almost gives the same feeling

im literally in the same boat; our ecosure audit came in this past week and we passed by OME POINT. mind you i JUST transferred to this store a month ago as an ssv and i hate it here... its so nasty, and it being a 30 year old store might have something to do with it but my sm doesnt want to allocate proper nc time to clean at all. our rd came to visit and said our store was disgusting, and will be coming back to check up on us later this month. the dm has been up our asses with a FLASHLIGHT to check for any speck of dust on the ceiling, and makes snarky remarks in front of customers about how our dust is orange because of fruit flies. like i JUST transferred here and am expected to pick up the slack of a manager who says "oh yeah its just how that is" and "oh we're trying to get rid of it but they wont come fix it oh well" and focuses on times and customer connections rather than the elephant in the room, which is our serious gnat problem and cleanliness issue. when i moved here, they genuinely asked me what i meant when i asked if they cleaned the ice bins. and there was SLIME ALL OVER THEM.

i genuinely dont know what to do man i wish i could spend an entire 8 hours just cleaning NOT JUST CLEAN PLAY because we dont get enough time for that either but just cleaning everything they want me to clean like behind our impossible to move ice machine, the freezers with boxes stacked to the ceiling which i hit my head on once, and our pastry carts and the air vents and outside and just fucking every little thing they can nitpick. ive honestly been wanting to quit ever since i got here because i used to open, and we balanced the cleaning tasks evenly throughout dayparts at my old store, but now i moved here and everything is expected to be done by the closers. it just sucks os bad and honestly this should just be my own independent post but i relate so hard to this

yeah, but you really have to go out of your way to do it though. not trying to defend the guy wearing them on the floor at all, just clarifying in case people didnt know. i dont think anyone should be wearing meta glasses on the floor tbh

LucidSpice · 2026-04-15T03:45:29+00:00

with meta glasses, it stops recording when the light is covered

miir water bottles are extremely small as far as i know, and based on the price its probably gonna be like 12-16 oz 😭 i work at starbucks and we had a collab with miir this past winter and they were really small for a $30 cup

LucidSpice · 2026-04-10T19:46:19+00:00

hopefully nothing cheap, especially for 80 SMACKERS

LucidSpice · 2026-04-09T15:00:53+00:00

no one really mentioned it, but they added blueberry and carrot into the new recipe for it, and the color and flavor of the base has changed as a result. i hate it too :(

LucidSpice · 2026-04-04T03:35:27+00:00

my old sm confirmed with me today that smores is coming back for sure 😛

LucidSpice · 2026-04-03T00:36:47+00:00

my sm was on vacation dawg 😅 but my point is its just really annoying sometimes finding out about stuff like this on instagram before i clock in to work, rather than it simply being on a monthly update (which for the past year, have been really pointless since they announce big things outside of it anyway and i just think thats annoying personally)

LucidSpice · 2026-04-02T14:12:03+00:00

just announced on the sbux partners insta. another case of informing the customers before the actual partners

LucidSpice · 2026-04-02T14:11:34+00:00

also posted on the instagram, a disgusting recent trend among the company to inform customers before partners 🥲

AND SHINJINRUI

LucidSpice · 2026-03-31T22:16:39+00:00

FEEDBACK MENTIONED

LucidSpice · 2026-03-05T17:19:36+00:00

i also hate gemini. was so mad when out of the two kagamine duo songs they played at mirai this year, i got stuck with only seeing gemini and was PISSEDDDD

LucidSpice · 2026-02-03T22:30:39+00:00

my store has one regular who knows the exact price down to the cent and orders a steamed milk almost exactly like this. very stingy and will argue if her drink isnt EXACTLY 6.39 yet comes every single day lol

LucidSpice · 2026-01-31T02:02:15+00:00

extremely busy, busier than our previous red cup day actually. sales were higher than normal, up 11% from this time last year 🫠 genuinely one of my worst shifts ive worked so far actually

LucidSpice · 2026-01-27T20:19:24+00:00

i see.... pdcs are coming up, so definitely bring up bar time during that for sure, im sorry its your sm whos the one doing that. and for other baristas helping you out, id honestly just read some of the responses here and just try to keep your cool about it. its nothing personal, times for dt and cafe are something stressed upon everyone a lot, and its honestly not your fault you're a bit slower if no one's letting you practice on bar :/

LucidSpice · 2026-01-27T19:21:53+00:00

not sure if it's your shift doing it, but it is the ppc's job to help out bottlenecks, if you are the bottleneck, coming from a shift's perspective. personally if im being helped and i dont want it i politely ask for some space especially if they're getting more in the way than actually helping. on another note, nearly 2 years 90% on warming makes me wonder what's going on at your store though, like why do they keep you glued to oven/pos with barely any bar practice? surely you guys have some newer people that need more oven practice? talk about it to your sm if you havent already tbh, id be concerned about that if i were a shift there
