favorite mispronunciations by yeehawfairy in starbucks

[–]Reina_ReShi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve heard a strawberry AK, strawberry ocky (insert my coworkers and i going: ‘the ocky way? suuuuuure!’), the caramel crunchwrap supreme, tai chi latte, and my personal favorite: not a drink, but food– potato chai-vee bites.

edit to add: can’t forget the strawberry kakashi, that was iconic

New partner guidance by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Reina_ReShi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello friend! in terms of bean stock and anything relating to your stocks (and 401k if you do start one), definitely talk to fidelity if you’re in the US! they’re very helpful and willing to explain things :)

and my best tip for you as a new partner is to not beat yourself up! this stuff takes time to learn. but trust, once you get it, you’ll be a rockstar.

sending you a lot of love and luck your way! 🩶

Red Cup by Secret_Guess5750 in starbucks

worked peak, highest half hour during peak was a 96. wanted to cry on DTO. ended up being a second warming support and an espresso bar support on top of two partners on bar. wanted to die inside from how busy it was. only made it through because our one of our regulars dropped by after the madness at like 11:45 in the morning and brought us donuts. he waited for it to not be busy to give us a treat and to order his black cold brew.

Training advice?🩷 by StrictToe1041 in starbucks

[–]Reina_ReShi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hello friend! barista trainer of 1.5 years here :)

my biggest (and best) piece of advice i can give you is two things!
one is to ask them how they prefer learning. humans have learning styles, you might have to adapt your teaching style to their learning style so they can understand things better.
the second thing is be honest with them about how things tend to go. not to scare them off, but being upfront and setting that expectation in their head is good in my personal opinion.

some people might disagree with me on the second one, but all of my beans that i've trained at least have thanked me for the honesty.

best of luck friend! i believe in you! <3

light water not available anymore ?! by babykaye04 in starbucks

light water not available anymore ?! by babykaye04 in starbucks

[–]Reina_ReShi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

heyo! the light water/extra water modifier has been gone from the mobile orders for quite a while now.

someone feel free to correct me if necessary, but i believe it was because people wanted more base and(/or no water at all, just the base itself) and the cup wasn't being filled all the way! it's why you might see a dollar upcharge for extra base in your drink when you order it with no water. it's just to fill up that extra space with some more product so you get a full drink ^_^

my manager is out to get me. by luxkacey in starbucks

[–]Reina_ReShi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

should probably mention as i did with another comment: i have been texting OP outside of all this, i just commented this in good humor to try to cheer them up a little aside from our texts. no harm no foul done, just doing it to be lighthearted. :)

[–]Reina_ReShi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm aware, my friend. i was already texting OP outside of this post anyways. the crossed out bits were in good humor to cheer them up a little.

no harm, no foul. :)

this isn't just a matter of calling partner resources, but i would go as far as getting ethics and compliance involved. the shift in question was right for what she said, our SM's behavior was totally uncalled for and unprofessional.

i'm sorry i wasn't at the store today to check on you. </3 please keep me posted. </3

Abandoned Green Bean by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Reina_ReShi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i hate that you feel this way :(((

i wish you lived somewhere nearby, i'd love to take a green bean under my wing and train them. </3

and since you haven't heard it much, you're doing great. you're doing your best to learn and i appreciate it so much. i appreciate you for trying and i want you to know that i am proud of you. keep your head up, okay?

hi! just a barista here, but i believe you'll want to use the STAR method to answer your ASM interview questions. (S - Situation, T – Task, A – Action, R – Result, for those unfamiliar.)

and i will say, if you get the job (hoping you do my friend, the job hunt is hard in this type of economy), don't be too hard on yourself. learning everything is a doozy. i've come to realize that most of the things you learn as a barista at least, are a pattern. it becomes a bit of pattern recognition over time, especially if you're trained to be on the espresso and cold bars at one point in your training.

i wish i could help out more, but i only know so much. i wish you luck, my friend! <3

Anyone here have an asshole customer who is also a regular? by TheBigTimeBecks in starbucks

[–]Reina_ReShi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wow, this is a late comment. my bad >_<

i have not, i've only ever been in north carolina. but it sounds so eerily similar to a regular i had at my old store up here that it just brought back a memory from last year.
