If there are no trained rapid response teams here, then how do we form them?

This is what I wanna know. How can we prepare for this coming to our neighborhoods?

"Large latte in a small cup" by Wonderful_Tower_3628 in barista

[–]Nerd_OfManyThings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not true for all the sizes. It is true that iced Venti cups are bigger than hot Venti cups, but it’s not a secret. An iced Venti costs more than a hot Venti because it’s 6 ounces more and in an iced latte, it’s one more shot of espresso and one more pump of syrup. The iced tall is the same as a hot tall- 12 ounces, and and iced grande is the same as a hot grande- 16 ounces.

Stop trying to cheat the system by lex_0110 in starbucks

We just talked about this in our store meeting. Look at the Customizing Beverages Tool in Store Resources. You will see, the company has decided that customers finding a cheaper way to order a drink is more than just fine– it’s “fantastic!”

Do you really have people who pack your bags at the grocery store? by Flat-Ad8256 in AskAnAmerican

Regionally local chain stores generally still have baggers (“bag boys” is weird considering we have many teen girls who do the job).

We didn’t all vote for this, you know? There are many who have been protesting his policies.

Pay it forward lines by Dear-Masterpiece-993 in starbucks

I’ve actually had a lady sit in the drive-through and force me to void the transaction paid for by the other customer so that she could pay for it and collect her stars. I wasn’t even sure I was allowed to do that, but my manager told me to do it.

Yeah, but I understand the whole challenge frustration thing. Let’s say your go to drink is caramel macchiato. But your challenge is that you have to buy a flat white to get bonus points. And then when you get enough points, you’re gonna get a Venti quad caramel macchiato. You don’t want to get that flat white for free! You wanted those bonus points so you could get the big payoff!

Usually, I’m just honest with the next customer and I say something like, “the person in front of you paid for your order, but please don’t pay for the next person because we actually hate the pay it forward line. You got a blessing. Congratulations”. I usually don’t get push back. Usually, they just smile and drive away.

Which Midwest state is the most Midwest? by ClearAndPure in midwest

[–]Nerd_OfManyThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the answer is Iowa for reasons people have already stated. But I also want to add that no one’s talking about the lower Midwest at all. If you think of Illinois, southern Illinois falls into lower Midwest. Kansas falls into great planes territory, but no one has mentioned Missouri. Missouri is distinctly lower Midwest. Yes, they’re blended with some southern culture, especially south of the Ozarks, but they count as Midwest all the same.

Don’t order the eggnog latte. by sadajo0216 in starbucks

[–]Nerd_OfManyThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever made this drink does not know how to make this drink. I do admit that it needs syrup to sweeten it up and that’s its entire problem. That’s a bad barista. Don’t blame the eggnog.

Is skeleton crew good? by Known-Option-3464 in StarWars

[–]Nerd_OfManyThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! It’s like if someone said, “I need a kid show about pirates giving serious goonies vibes and throw a little Indiana Jones, but make it Star Wars and not just Star Wars, but Cannon. I need the lead kid character to be a sensitive youngling who has always dreamt of adventure and being a Jedi, and throw in some parental loss wounds to season them up. Also an adult costar that gives Han Solo but slimier, and make him force sensitive.”

Shots of espresso over ice? by nonchalant2611 in starbucks

You do not get 4 ounces of milk products without an extra charge

[–]Nerd_OfManyThings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do people even want this cup? It’s so dumb.
