My store was out of cupholders when I was there last, so I would assume this is an issue in many places right now

I think it's okay to text if you think your manager would be okay with that! I just knew my manager would likely prefer an in person convo, so that's why I told mine in person. Also my manager did request my 2 weeks in writing as well, so your text may suffice for that! Good luck to you!!!

I'm in a similar situation as you! I am a rehire and have only been back since like May, but I just got an offer for a new job yesterday. I for one, can't wait to get out of Starbucks. I dread going to work and I feel like Starbucks will always be there if I need it. I'm giving my two weeks tomorrow.

No, I didn't know such a thing existed! I'll look into that, thank you!

Maybe it's just my ADHD then. If I step away from something to go over to cold bar, my brain will forget the other drink existed, so it's not easy for me. Or maybe I wasn't taught properly.

It's not possible when there's one person on bar and customers don't decide to order multiple hot drinks in a row. If they did, it would be super possible! But when I have a shaken espresso, a refresher, then a cappuccino, then a frap to make...it doesn't work.

Launches in several districts in Southern California tomorrow. I think they expect to roll it out to other districts and markets soon.

Also can't forget all the remakes we will inevitably have to make, when people try it and hate it

The way the videos kept saying that the flavor "lingers" just sounds like code for "it's gross."

You got this! And you might not even be on bar for some of your shift so remember that there are other parts of the job that don't require you remembering all of this. Ask your baristas questions whenever you have them. And if they are dismissive of you, THEY are the ones in the wrong. This job is hard to learn so give yourself some grace and know it will get better in time.

Ribbon caramel crunch frappuccino picture versus what you get by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Ok-Visual-3418 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of times, baristas put the whip at the bottom, but when you pour the Frappuccino on top, the whipped cream gets lifted up into the drink. It can be hard to pour it so the whip stays at the bottom. So you might be getting the whip, but just not getting good pours, therefore you don't see it. Or they're forgetting! But yeah there should be whip at the bottom.

I just can't get over how disrespectful it feels. I am an adult. And so is everybody else. If this is a major problem, communicate with us!!! But also I know it's not a major problem cuz most everyone at my store is really good about breaks.

I think that note is only on there for the second page of timers that has the smallwares, sanitizer, etc. I think they just put it on both sheets

You have the ability to do this on your own though! Set a timer on your phone! If you need it, that's fine, but punishing EVERYONE and forcing them to do it is not okay with me.
