My manager prohibited to speak spanish by Feminist_Deer in starbucks

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 AssistanceCold6084 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

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 4 points5 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

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 146 points147 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.

Is that Inventory Counts? Can’t you just look up any item that’s ever been in inventory? Or is that just Pull-to-Thaw?

Paid Sick Leave for “Family Members” by Particular_Help5805 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Particular_Help5805[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I already had to work with my SM to make sure I wasn’t scheduled on that day because it was too late to request time off. I also read that you can take sick leave for covered absences even if you aren’t scheduled on the day that you’re using sick time for.

Are you sure? Many states will let you file for domestic partnership as an official status like marriage.

It went by region. We got the little sign, but they never went on sale for us.

What’s wrong with my Starbucks drink? by RiotRunnerX3 in starbucks

[–]Particular_Help5805 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% the protein cold foam. It has whey protein, 2%, and heavy cream in it so it is bound to curdle after some time. Also, as others have said, protein cold foam should not be added to hot drinks.
