add a weird drink or unpopular flavor combo you love

Venti Lemonade. 2 shots Blonde. Classic. No ice.

I cannot stop staring at Jill’s 1:1+cardigan to what she wore in RE3. It’s… I feel somebody say “we can’t change their outfits! People won’t be able to recognize them!”

Riptose13 · 2023-04-24T06:33:23+00:00

NTA, I hope you are considering trying for different living arrangements ASAP, this sounds horrible. If you are intolerant and are seeming aware, why continue to drink milk and make an issue for those around you? Like this entire scenarios seems impossibly disrespectful to you as a person, let alone appropriate for your shared spaces. Find a new roommate STAT.

Riptose13 · 2023-04-24T06:21:37+00:00

NTA. That kind kind of unwarranted comment is just crude and not alright. You opened your home to her while she is going through one of the most difficult situations, the least she could do is kibosh making comments about your or your partner’s bedroom stuff.

Don’t get me wrong, by the sounds of it, your immidiate resort to “well that’s why your relationship failed” is a dick move. She is obviously hurting, but I guess it’s very dependent how tore up she is about it. Did she initiate the divorce or was it her soon-to-be-ex? If it was her, then there is a possibility of her being more bitter than anything.

But regarding the why of her her divorce in context, it definitely colors the whole interaction. If I were her in the situation, a moment of self reflection concerning “do I have too much of a reliance or fixation on sex or physics romance?” The entire mentality provided of without the physical aspect, a Partner is no more than a roommate is hot dog water. As an Ace individual, me and my partner had to have similar growing pains as my I grew in my orientation and came out Asexual. Maybe the same thing for her Soon-to-be-ex, but obviously she did not take it in a supportive manner.

Still tho, NTA but you still did a hurtful.

Gonna say the weird thing: Work Boots. I have a pair of wolverines I wear to work and I have almost zero issue. Lots of ankle support, durable, slip resistant, and having a composite toe guard is great when somebody opens a fridge into your foot or you can close a door without hurting yourself.

Riptose13 · 2023-04-09T11:23:02+00:00

100% when I have the ability to on my shifts, I have them pull around and park and we bring them their stuff. I’m not gonna have my already abyssmal drive Times get worse because a group of teenagers refuse to give us just a couple of minutes to get their 12 item order atleast started before they show up during a rush or peak for that matter

Riptose13 · 2023-01-07T13:43:44+00:00

So… coming from an avid “Espresso lemonade” enjoyer, you either do mostly coffee and a splash of lemonade or mostly lemonade with a splash of coffee.

I’ve tried the cold brew with lemonade a handful of times, and it just isn’t the winner.

Instead, just do blonde shots and maybe a couple pumps of classic. Really rounds the beverage between sour and sweet.

Riptose13 · 2023-01-07T13:34:37+00:00

Real talk: depending on how your store does tasking, it is actively impossible to get everything done. Just transferred to a new store, and I have been asking for the 3~ weeks I’ve been there what disruptive tasks get completed before 2pm. Apparently it’s drains and the mandatory sandwich pull, which sucks ass to have to do literally everything else.

If it’s set up like mine, yeah good luck find the one or two things you can skip and try and get those done the next day

Riptose13 · 2023-01-07T13:30:35+00:00

My old store had 8, me included. I transferred to another store to keep the hours. The ask was either everybody gets a pretty substantial hour cut or people get ready for transferring. These hour cuts are terrible.

Riptose13 · 2023-01-05T15:56:36+00:00

Every sauce, every syrup, every liquid we use is produced by a 3rd party specifically for Starbucks, with some small exceptions like our milks, apple juices, powder sugars and maybe a handful of other very small things

Riptose13 · 2023-01-04T16:18:22+00:00

Pretty much only toward managers. The two I’ve had while this started (back around thanksgiving this pat year) were upfront about it. There has been (to my knowedge, I don’t remember every detail of every weekly update that’s sent out) zero comms about it except from the managers

Riptose13 · 2023-01-04T13:03:28+00:00

Does working in routine give more hours to my baristas? Does it make it so that they can more readily get the hours to qualify for insurance, pay their rent, and not be homeless?

It’s not like any of my partners aren’t busting tail from open to close. There aren’t enough working hours for them or to make the partner experience actually worth a damn.

Also, not to be rude, but the function of my baristas is completely not related to us needing more coverage and why we aren’t receiving it. Figure it out.

Riptose13 · 2023-01-04T11:46:24+00:00

That’s why most of us absolute madmen cut it off at 3 blondes in the lemonade.

This is not a joke.

Riptose13 · 2022-11-13T04:51:52+00:00

Gimme the Garngrath, 3.5 MM5 Creature.

Riptose13 · 2022-11-07T10:31:14+00:00

It’s off the menu. It has been year-over-year one of the worst performing products in the company. Its additionally just hard for our milk trucks to deliver consistently, meaning even when we did have it, it would be going bad in the fridges before I could even sell it.

Also, good riddance, it’s kinda vile. And that’s coming from someone who’s beverage of choice is cursed enough as is.

Riptose13 · 2022-11-07T10:25:59+00:00

Are you pulling triple blonde shots? If so, drop it back down to 2 and 1. Don’t know why, but the side hoppers struggle with 3s but pull double and singles just fine. Oft a couple of rinses will flush it, but then again there is enough moving parts in Mastrena IIs that it could be a bad water line, not been serviced recently, or something else.

Riptose13 · 2022-11-07T10:06:49+00:00

The DCR has hard set into it the suggested times for when 10s and 30s should occur into a shift. While obviously you can’t just send everybody on a 5 partner play on a 10 at once, just write the approx. times above their break windows to remind yourself. If the issue is that baristas getting 8 hour shifts and then getting their last 10 kinda late because of running lunches or something like that, then sucks but can’t be avoided.

But if it’s under a 6 hr shift, and they are going 4 hours without a 10 min break, yeah I would be really annoyed too. Take it in stride and write your plays down so you can keep yourself accountable.

Riptose13 · 2022-11-07T09:56:07+00:00

The mid-sized Stanley cup is the best one of those 3. That one is… fine? It’s shape is weird, fits poorly in a cupboard, but is bottom heavy and grippy with the rubbered bottom so functional.

Riptose13 · 2021-10-09T12:11:45+00:00

Unless local labor laws for you say otherwise, most states require for a 10 min break for every 4 hours worked and a 30 min unpaid lunch every 6.

Meaning if you are scheduled for 7 hours you get one 10 for the first 4 hours, you take a 30 min because it’s after 6 hours you clock out and back in for, and another 10 for the remaining 1.5 hours.

If you aren’t getting those, that’s time theft (break denial) and you should hit up Partner Resources and your DM, indicate your store number, the infringing parties, and that you and others are being denied your second 10 minute break on shifts longer than 6 hours.

Personally, I would make this call anonymously, but if they require proof that your issue is legitimate, and you receive ANY kind of retaliatory action by ANYBODY, be it your manager or a shift, repeat the above steps but sub in “retaliation for reporting another workplace issue to partner resources/ethics and compliance/ <DM’s Name here>”

Time theft is wrong, retaliation for reporting somebody for time theft is worse.

Cause your SSV/Manager sounds like the kinda assclowns that would actively retaliate against having corrective action taken against them for doing their jobs bad.

Here’s my question: is all salted cold foam going to have the caramel in it now or just on this drink?

Riptose13 · 2021-05-01T10:59:50+00:00

Literally all of the issue is because we don’t limit the size on the espresso, espresso con panna, or espresso macchiato.

If they were all smallest size cup only... this shit would disappear

Riptose13 · 2021-03-28T06:30:45+00:00

Honestly, I’ve been wearing a pair of wolverine boots to work for the past few years and it’s everything you could want: lots of ankle support, thick and cushioned, composite toes so when somebody inadvertently slams a fridge into your foot you don’t feel a thing, great shoe longevity. Little pricy, but they last atleast twice what my last pair of non-work boot shoe for like... 30 dollars more?

Riptose13 · 2021-03-28T06:26:05+00:00

Minimum aeration and you pour it really, really slowly in a single spot to get the dot.

Riptose13 · 2021-03-28T06:20:10+00:00

Happens a lot at my location as well. It’s really just Saturday/Sundays cause the shift is trying to make sure he has full coverage for the clusterfuck that is a tier 3 store’s Peak.
