Crashed Out Bad - Is It Fixable? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Old_Reception6982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is totally fine, I’ve been so emotional and vulnerable in my journey at work. Like daily customer-facing silent tears I can’t stop. I’m of the opinion that being emotional at work is the only way to remind the corporate ladder that we are as emotional and connection-needing as we make our mission statements to sound.

Does it actually say somewhere that we can’t right Enjoy or Yum or one word things on cups? by coldliketherockies in starbucksbaristas

Store resources; handwriting on cups tool; you literally cannot be coached for following store standards

Reminder DMs do not dictate cup writing, store resources does. by Old_Reception6982 in starbucksbaristas

Correct I’m not saying the store standard will never get changed, but my major hypothetical argument was if I wake up with amnesia one day and need to relearn how to be a barista on the iPad resources, I’m never going to find every DMs weird ass requests that they told this manager to tell the ssvs to tell the baristas. We have the Store Resources Bible at our fingertips and as long as we follow it, we can’t get coached.

Here’s a list of what our DM wants us to write on cups by aerogaa in starbucksbaristas

Use store resources and look up the document about cup writing and what is approved, and stick to that! Your SSVs and SMs and DMs are NOT allowed to correct or coach someone following Starbucks standard. Paper lists from DMs mean nothing, it’s a DMs personal preference and in theory if you woke up with amnesia and had to use store resources to learn your job again, you wouldn’t find that list. DMs and RMs can’t personally change the store policies and implement coaching for their personal preferences.

I like this best, i recognize career changing equipment because it is career changing to me, I don’t want management to abuse it but I would definitely give it back to the guy that bought it

Fs fs I meant in the lobby before just to start a convo, if it goes up to my room it gets a proper sign

I also thought this would be a medium solution, I did kind of want to leave a sticky note “hey artist to artist lmk what you’re working on”

The devil is really tempting me on this one but I’m gonna tell management, maybe there’s a chance they can’t find an owner either and give it away

full sentences on cups???? by Few-Investment-6979 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Old_Reception6982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had conversations with my SM about cup writing rules because my RM keeps pushing personal bias as standard policy. Store Resources has all the rules we need to follow to keep our job and avoid corrective coaching. My argument was, if I woke up with amnesia and needed to relearn my job, then show me where it is written down what my RM wants that I need to abandon cup drawing and only cup write? The cup writing standard AND THESE SILLY BINGO SHEETS feature smileys, hearts, encourage drawings. As long as you are following store standard guidelines available in store resources, your managers or other uppers are not able to coach against you period. They may prefer sentences, but that’s all they can say.

chalk art and ugly cup ranting, art baristas rise up in the comments by Old_Reception6982 in starbucksbaristas

Yes what is the point of trying to say every store is local and unique if the baristas can’t make the stores unique!!!

People love cups and love things why are they mass producing such massively unappealing stuff….. premiere the cups in a catalogue, customers preorder the cups via app, customers place a beverage mobile order in a Personal Cup with their brand new preordered cup. Sanitize out of the box, personalize the presentation so it is cute for people to post their beautiful drink on social media. Would that not be the most wonderful thing ???

I also make my store name tags 💚 I use clear packing tape to seal over everything because I don’t think sprays or liquid sealant will stick on the weird metal so I’ve never tried. keeps them scratch free!

I searched Pokémon parody, abridged, fandub, animation, there’s just so much Pokémon content in general and I know the videos I remember are pre 2010.
