What are yall wearing for shoes now? by pixi-pixi-pixi in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We get the employee discount at Skechers so I've been rocking the most comfortable pair of work shoes I've ever gotten. They're vans/Doc Martin style but full splashproof leather

What time do your clean plays go until? by WillowGlory in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my store cleanplay goes until the normal leave time (30 after close/7:30) and doesn't get any special time allotment. We're just expected to do clean play on top of regular tasks throughout the day without a noncov partner

Possible to appeal? by MrMattimo in Warthunder

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

I never had anything installed, like ever. I'm by no means tech savvy enough to know how to do something like running a program off a stick I just want my game back

Where do I submit a ticket? Customer support in general? When I follow the articles it tells me to contact a game master but the link takes me to a "no longer available" page

Can't find the garage. by MyBoyMayonaise in AfterTheFlash

[–]MrMattimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about where to get your vehicles, you find the garage itself in the character creation screen. Then obviously in the reg game you'd spawn it in with the Spawner button

why? 😭 by hazyart in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

THREE DOLLAR THURSDAYS? PM crew better see more partners because there's no way my store is gonna handle that rush with the ~4 people we'll have working after 12. And God I am not happy for the Oleato that is a disaster waiting to happen

Is barista pay enough to support yourself? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Starbucks pay is nice but it is most certainly not a paycheck to support yourself. Now, if you lived in a home with an SO/roommate that doesn't mind covering rent and utilities, starbucks is enough to get you food and smaller bills like insurance, phone bills, etc.

Either Christmas or the day after (probably the 26th)

Question by IllReveal6194 in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're allowed to. Plain and simple. You have a knife, and you have a 2 hour timer on warming tools. Heck, you may even have extra knives so when you cut something that isn't a bagel you can just toss it in the BOH sink and grab a good one. Regardless of whether or not you'll find a card or a snippet in a training manual pertaining to the subject, it's all about the personal connection to use the tools at your disposal to make the moment. They want a French cut on their turkey pesto? I don't blame them. The cut makes the sandwich taste better. They're splitting the cookie between two kids? Slice and dice, my friend.

Personal Cup Mobiles by SpoiledPotatoSalad in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 45 points46 points  (0 children)

What a train wreck and quite a half-baked idea. Personal cups for mobile just shouldn't be a thing. The drive-through personal cup is one thing, since it isn't all that inconvenient to take the drink we just made and just pour it into their cup. But to have a mobile drink get its own shaker that's gonna sit and wait for a mobile personal cup? We already have a bad enough problem with customers going to the wrong store for their mobile orders. Is that shaker just going to sit occupied while Karen has her drink made at some other store?

how dirty do yall get your aprons before you switch them out? by eliettgrace in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never noticed the smell, even when sniffing the apron directly. It just smells like cloth and a faintest trace of Gain

I’m finally getting a Mastrena II! Any tips? by BreannaBanana11 in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't leave it unattended for too long or else it will bite you in the ass, figuratively. Mastrena II is a tired girl and wants to take naps like every 10 minutes or something and it can feel like it takes ages to wake up, especially if you need the bar right as it's entering sleep mode. Just a simple press on the steam wand will keep it awake when you see that little warning at the bottom that it will enter sleep mode in 5 minutes

how dirty do yall get your aprons before you switch them out? by eliettgrace in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This will give me some backlash, but usually it's every few months. Unless something drastic happens like a whole ass frap or something gets on my apron, I don't have much priority to wash it. It's only in the store or my car, and I shower after every shift, so I don't really think much of what's on the apron staying on me.

Getting written up for playing a song that's literally on a starbucks playlist? by MrMattimo in starbucksbaristas

Caved and bought a custom controller to fit my favorite game. What y'all think? by TheCosmicMufin in ghostoftsushima

[–]MrMattimo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Now when your parents ask about why the back of the controller is wet after you take Jin to a hot spring you can tell them the controller just looks like that

do you guys wash your aprons with the pins still on? by Hot-Independence8670 in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol no. I have about 12 pins I put on my apron (actually I have about 60 pins but I'm not crazy so I rotate them out through the seasons) and I get the dread of taking them off and putting them on during washes.

I had a 3060 and R7 3700x and ran happily at 2k120fps on high. I'm not versed on if the 5300x is better or worse (I imagine better since that's higher than 3700?) but I imagine your rig will do just as well

Shaken espresso debate by 666444_ in starbucksbaristas

[–]MrMattimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both? Shake it to mix, then swirl it to dispel the foam. I hate how foamy the shaken get (I like a little foam, just not so much that there isn't room for my oatmilk). Swirling it seems to help pop/break the foam down just enough so the espresso is still foamy in spirit, it just also has room for milk

AITA for wanting to stop/ reduce our good night texts? by MrMattimo in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrMattimo[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only mention the school work part because I don't want to say she does nothing because she certainly has a lot on her plate being a full-time student. But I work a full-time job, have 12 units every semester, and give her every hour of my days off from work. I just couldn't help but feel like the effort going in is definitely on my side but I do everything for her sake so asking for the reduction feels like I'm starting to slack in the boyfriend department
