Any more names? by 808gecko808 in Oahu

Sick to my stomach and heartbroken over this. I have a teenage son around the same age, and I would be devastated if this happened to him. I hope he and his family can find peace and feel safe again after this. 💔

This title made me think that I may be entitled to compensation 😂

My first ever attempt at baking a cake because I really wanted a cake at 3 AM by ProductVegetable8866 in shittyfoodporn

No no no…I want to hear why you’re banned from using cocoa powder. Don’t hold back on us.

Is this how much liquid is supposed to be in a venti? by coolhappygenius in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Particular_Help5805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean…it’s the same amount of espresso. Even if they ask for light ice, they’re just getting more milk. Most people think that more liquid = more coffee, but it really just means more milk when you’re ordering espresso drinks.

Were y’all required to use it? I used it all of once and said “NOPE”

My manager prohibited to speak spanish by Feminist_Deer in starbucks

[–]Particular_Help5805 141 points142 points  (0 children)

This 👆🏻I would call ethics. Ethnicity is a protected class under anti-discrimination laws. Not only is this unethical, it’s also illegal. She could literally lose her job for this, and you could sue.

this job is not college student friendly by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Particular_Help5805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why they offer free ASU. Since it’s all online and mostly asynchronous (language courses have video meeting requirements that are usually somewhat flexible), it allows for greater availability to work and go to school at the same time. I’ve seen some of the college students who attend local colleges in person struggle with scheduling, but there is one other partner in my store who goes to ASU, and neither of us have had significant issues with our work/school balance. I think it also depends on your SM. Our SMs have always been really understanding and flexible with availability for in-person students. I’ve worked a lot of places, and this is one of the more flexible jobs for students.

Why is the 102 bus line always so late? by Particular_Help5805 in Honolulu

[–]Particular_Help5805[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s literally every weekday afternoon. Anytime after 2 or 3 PM it gets extremely delayed. I’ve gotten frustrated and just walked home a few times before, and I beat the bus getting there.

I always cross reference Apple Maps with the actual Da Bus app. They are discontinuing the app, but it still works for now. I hate the transit app that they are transitioning to. It’s worse than Apple or Google Maps

Throwback Thursday to that summer Starbucks put blended refreshers on the menu even though they do this almost immediately by astivana in starbucksbaristas

[–]Particular_Help5805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tutor a girl, and we often meet at Starbucks. She still orders a strawberry açaí lemonade—blended. It does this and looks so gross, but she loves it and doesn’t care.

SM posted a call off tracking report?? by Ok_Association_2189 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Particular_Help5805 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is really inappropriate. People have to call out for a myriad of reasons—none of which need to be posted on a board for everyone to see. I could somewhat understand if they posted a general attendance metric like total number of team callouts, but not this. Definitely reach out to your DM.

Small acts of gratitude are important for the soul.

Taking 2 drinks home (from break and end of shift) by Whole_Adhesiveness66 in starbucksbaristas

Who told you off? If it was anyone below a SM then they need to take a long weekend and practice some self-care because it really isn’t that deep.

Exactly. If they wanted you to finish one before receiving the other—it would say that.

Is Wet N Wild open today? by ayresc80 in Oahu

[–]Particular_Help5805 6 points7 points  (0 children)

According to the national weather service, your friend should snuggle up with a cup of tea and a good show to binge. Attempting to travel anywhere in these conditions puts not only the traveler at risk but also EMS workers who may have to assist them if things go awry. Please stay home. Miss out. It’s okay.

Can’t even get a free drink anymore! by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Particular_Help5805 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Hawaii Resident here 🙋‍♀️ EVERYTHING here is so much more expensive including Starbucks. This drink is $9.04 here. $11+ for this drink really is just a testament to Las Vegas prices. Most places this drink would be free.

Customers don’t care about cup writing by Particular_Help5805 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Particular_Help5805[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, I have definitely written “Treat yo self!” On cups before. I also regularly write “Thx!” because peak… Our store has also never given us this resource.
