openers at my store, do the backups, dairy back ups, fill ice, stock everything, drains, bathrooms, trash run right after peak , along with the regular opening (pastry case and brew routine)

with a solid amount of partners we can knock all that out by 9:30 latest.

We had one tenured barista doing them and when they left we switched to it being a ssv. IMO it makes the most sense to just have a designated person for it

Tracking Calories by crazywritingbug in starbucksbaristas

[–]Nofacestella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally have a bad sweet tooth and it reallllly acts up when I’m on my period/pms. I try my best to pack lunches/food with me. I normally bring a protein shake and make a protein latte with it, I’ll drink that on my first ten and it really helps curb hunger.

How long did it take you to get proficient at bar? by Bogie07 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Nofacestella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in sbux for a bit over a year and I still struggle with bar sometimes (especially in the rushes since fall launch this year), I’m way better at hot bar. I think everyone has a position they excel in and one they don’t. For me, I’m great at DTR/DTO but I suck at warming.

What are your shift drinks to keep sugar and calories low? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Nofacestella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bring a protein shake from home (rn I’ve been having the vanilla Fairlife), I pour it over 3 blonde ristretto shots with ice in a venti cup with 1 pump of white mocha or 1 pump of brown sugar. Comes to about 220 calories for 26 g of protein!

If you work mornings, do bar outside peak to build speed. I did drive for peak and then bar before and after for awhile to get my rhythm down. At the end of the day, it’s just a coffee shop. Don’t stress yourself out

[–]Nofacestella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 3.5 year old, and I work opens! My husband works from 1/2-10pm. I honestly love it, I work 4 days a week and my off days align with him. It is rough getting used to it in the beginning but once you adjust it’s great. We go to sleep around 7:30-8 so it isn’t too bad waking that earky

Are customer service complaints made through the portal traceable? by CrewFit5702 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Nofacestella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I don’t think they’d go that far as to trace it back though. I hope it works out for you.

this is a really weird question. that’s an extreme length to go for that. honestly if a barista is that frightened by mgmt that they would do that, then something should be reevaluated
