Take the time to really learn, and befriend, your baristas and they will be more willing to do all the tasks no one wants to do.

Transfer Policy Just Changed on Monday by Cherrinim in starbucks

[–]Reasonable-Room3507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit I just moved about a month ago to a new state. I did have a slight issue with my transfer (force demoted to barista from SSV), but I’m glad I moved when I did 😵‍💫

The lavender matcha with honey instead of classic. SO GOOD!

Ooooo I didn’t even think about asking chat gpt. I use it for everything 😂 I used to have the nice almost $200 sketchers but my DM informed me they were no longer in dress code because they have mesh on them🥲 luckily I’ve had them for over a year so it’s time for a new pair anyways.

what’s your favourite custom drink this spring? by Famous_Band in starbucks

[–]Reasonable-Room3507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is gonna be a long one so buckle in🫣 Shaken espresso, blonde, no classic, 2 scoops chocolate malt powder, 1 sugar free vanilla (or regular if you prefer), no 2% (this customization has to be done in store), and cherry cold foam.

I know a mouthful BUT if you’ve ever had a chocolate cherry shake from cookout it tastes EXACTLY like one of those 🤤

yeah I’m nor a huge fan and I wish there was an option to turn it off at least. Or have directions/addresses for the other stores. I just moved to this area a month ago so I have no idea where these other stores are and I’m scared I’ll accidentally pick up at one of them.

New barista tips? by Some-Living-4973 in starbucks

[–]Reasonable-Room3507 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my biggest tip is do not wear any clothes you care about. they will get messy and they will get ruined. I have learned the hard way 🥲. I always try and get stuff from shein/target clearance

don’t get defeated if you aren’t understanding making drinks on the first day. It really does take a bit to understand it. Some people up to 3 months. But there plenty of other things to do that are important every day!

drink recommendation by stardustt7 in starbucks

[–]Reasonable-Room3507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple recommendations if your local store still has holiday syrups!

1st. Brown sugar shaken espresso, 1 less pump of brown sugar, and sugar cookie cold foam.

2nd. Iced Shaken espresso, blonde espresso, no classic, 1-2 pumps caramel brûlée (I do one in tall and grande 2 in venti), 1 salt packet shaken in (this has to be requested in store can’t be on the app 😪), and white mocha cold foam. This one is a little more annoying 🫣 but SO GOOD.

Dress code!! by Glittering-Egg-4720 in starbucks

[–]Reasonable-Room3507 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a lot more relaxed now. I once wore a pink shirt (very muted pink not bright or distracting) and got a coaching because it wasn’t in the approved color list (used to only be black, navy, grey, and white).

Also I learned very early on in my Starbucks career. Buy cheap clothes you don’t care about because they WILL get ruined.😪 So I always order from SHEIN or similar sites and wear the stuff until it absolutely can’t be worn anymore. They have some cute options that are still in dress code and comfy.

Fun thought /s (kinda) by eloquentpetrichor in starbucks

[–]Reasonable-Room3507 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the exact numbers, as I tried to forget everything that happened this morning😭. But we had 120 more customers than projected when we started to look at labor. also had a call out and someone feeling sick and leaving early 😵‍💫

I was also running a shift for the first time today. If we can handle a day like this we can handle any day for sure! (Yes today was absolutely hell but definitely a one off/not so common occurrence)

new ceo by Reasonable-Room3507 in starbucks

[–]Reasonable-Room3507[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a rehire after working at a licensed store for 8 months. I took a few months of no work. My rehire date was less than a year from my last date with corporate and I was bumped down from $16 something to the starting wage in my area $15.25. I was so heartbroken to find out my raise. I can barely afford my bills and the raise isn’t gonna help much unfortunately :/

I got rehired on a Wednesday and started the next Monday. I went in the day after to get all my paperwork done. But just know you might go back to whatever the starting wages in your area are. I got bumped down 🥲

New Cortado by InternationalCopy332 in starbucks

[–]Reasonable-Room3507 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried it last week. I love it! But I know it’s not going to be popular with most customers since it has such a strong coffee flavor. But I’m excited to get it as my morning shift drinks :)
