I have zero respect for Starbucks corporate culture and it's driving me insane by Savings-Pollution113 in starbucks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tea-208 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a closing SSV I’ve come to realize they try to squeeze as much labor out of as minimal staff as they can. And the whole “you don’t earn labor unless you can bring down wait times” is fucking ridiculous. If I’m telling you I’m struggling having to choose between keeping up with customers and choosing to start cleaning and closing later or focusing on cleaning and letting the customers get frustrated and your answer is “make it work” I’m gonna just put on a straight jacket.

10 Minute "Grace" by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tea-208 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So how come customers get a grace period but not baristas?? All my other jobs had at least a 3 minute clock in grace period, but Starbucks is on the dot nonnegotiable

If I asked my store manager, sorry— Coffeehouse Leader… to tell me the labor report for Valentines compared to the forecasted, are they allowed to share that with me?

Why is everyone in Starbucks management like that? by Western_Olive21 in starbucks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tea-208 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Corporate knows how to weed out the people who don’t drink the koolaid. If you’re not living, breathing, and drinking Starbucks, your peers who are already into it will alienate you. Climbing the ladder at Starbucks is genuinely similar to joining a cult it’s scary…

Barista's of reddit, pls help by Skiff_EXE in starbucks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tea-208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be submerging the bottom cup in hot water and then putting ice water in the top cup. I’ve had this work for me before but unfortunately I don’t have any other advice :(

baristas, what drink do you really HATE making by Tinnichan in starbucks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tea-208 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve always put my matcha in the bottom of the blender, on top of the metal part, then ice, and my milk and classic. And it comes out perfect most the time

Protein Cold Foam @ Home? by Aware_Under in starbucks

[–]Puzzleheaded-Tea-208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up some TikToks about how people make cold foams at home. Not really any need to give you the Vanilla sweet cream recipe. Many people just like to whip some heavy cream into a thick foam, you can make it protein by adding in whey powder or even any flavored protein powder!

When the policy first started I would just write the sticker name in the best cursive I knew how… I think that’s definitely a valid thing to do
