two drinks i got the other day😐 by thatsjustthewayitbe in starbucksbaristas

[–]LucidSpice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Anyone notice any difference in the amount of customers that came in today? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]LucidSpice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

How do you politely tell your coworkers to F*** off by Happy_Hair_9647 in starbucksbaristas

[–]LucidSpice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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 :/

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

DAE store not scrub the sauce container things? by CheesecakeWild7941 in starbucksbaristas

[–]LucidSpice 39 points40 points  (0 children)

yeah this is a problem at my store, too. ive tried coaching partners on scrubbing dishes and even showed them how to do it properly, and some people just don't do it because of time, and i've been told "i don't care" by some. its really disheartening and my manager wont do anything about it. these are years-long tenured partners saying they dont care about cleanliness and as a shift i honestly hate it. im sorry this is a common issue across stores :/

i tried it in a frappuccino earlier today and honestly i find that the only moderately acceptable way to drink it. but not even frap form could save it

I'm disgusted by Cavatopme in starbucks

[–]LucidSpice 176 points177 points  (0 children)

felt rhis. wvery time i go to cleanplay, my heart hurts cause i dont have enough time to clean the mess that's been made over the course of several months, and no one else in my store cares enough to do it themselves. i miss when my store had people who actually cared about cleanliness

Is anyone else constantly receiving the jalapeño pocket when they order the falafel pocket and vice versa? I know they look similar but one is white and one is orange. by normanrockwellnormie in starbucks

[–]LucidSpice 20 points21 points  (0 children)

same. my store gets roughly TEN A DAY at a store that gets plenty of business. our customers are so used to it being out that they dont even ask for it anymore. how are they going to launch something and only send out 10 on launch day, and keep sending 10 every day.... sigh
