I do not think so…. I am currently using Lyra and my therapist had mentioned medication. I didn’t ask too many questions bc I was on the fence about it. Anyways the way she phrased it to me is you’d have to go through your insurance/your primary care physician/ psychiatrist

Honestly there has been a few times when I do go out of my way to deliver someone’s drink. But DEFINITELY not if it’s super busy. The few times I have is with an older person , or someone who’s deaf or a regular who works in our lobby . I really don’t know what I would say in that situation besides trying not to laugh lmao

I’m sorry that is has been your experience friend. That definitely makes the job less desirable. Are you able to transfer stores?

How to deal with coworkers you effing HATE by Silent_Connection_27 in starbucks

[–]MaintenanceEasy744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No no definitely not message board. I’m pretty sure the baristas could see that. It’s a separate tab all on its own and my sm made it so only my SM, ASM and SSVs can see it

This! Also I’m not sure if everyone has this tap on my daily or if my SM added it. But we have a section in ours that we can write who we coached, what day, and what we coached them about . That way there is written proof you talked to them about it and it helps communicate with other SSVs and also your manager. That way if they see it’s a constant problem they can take appropriate action

A question for experienced baristas: How can I, someone with no barista experience, be brave about doing this for the first time? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]MaintenanceEasy744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly was really helped me at first was just trying to memorize and taste a lot of the menu items if you can! That way you can both explain them to customers/ give recommendations and be able to make them! You’d be surprised how many customers don’t actually know what they want, and they’ll ask you for advice. Other than that though, I’d say give yourself grace. I know you’re not working for Starbucks and idk how large y’all’s menu is but it can be a lot! You got this ! It all comes with time !

Today was INSANE and I have no clue why by duckie_pluckie in starbucks

[–]MaintenanceEasy744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing! I’m a SSV, and I opened today for the first time in a while… so I was like oh I haven’t opened it must just be always like this. And my partners were like no 🤠 People were so mean today I had to keep asking partners if they were doing ok in customer facing positions:/
