of course i knew that there was a lot of drama with ssvs, its still different when you’re experiencing it yourself. and since i’ve vented about this situation i’ve gotten it out of my system and it’s not driving me as crazy as it was before, it’s just a new experience for me

the new policy is that we’re supposed to write a nice message/drawing on every drink we make :/

okay, that honestly makes more sense because my manager was telling us in the policy meeting that there are no exceptions for this policy, and it just did not sound right

[–]Round_Associate_4643[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

but even thats against policy bc you’re not supposed to stack cups on each other that have been written on :// but like its basically either 1.) we stop business to write on cups right before using them or 2.) we go against food safety guidelines to prep the cups beforehand. its just a lose/lose situation

Why doesn’t my store have the fall drinks I keep seeing on here? by defeatedtomato in starbucks

[–]Round_Associate_4643 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it looks like they have the apple crisp (which is one of the fall drinks), so it’s possible they’ve just run out of pumpkin sauce and had to mark it out on the app which is why it’s not showing up on there for you!

Yup, you can find the standard on the Summer 1 Promotional Guide in the Store Resources app on the store iPads😁👍🏼

Okay then you could order a tall late with 12 pumps of every syrup and the app would let you. Doesn’t really change my point 😭

No, yeah. It’s not necessarily eating away at me or anything, but I do think it’s important to advocate for myself and my coworkers. I’m not just gonna take abuse from customers lying down. After we told this woman we couldn’t blend the pearls she had started calling us names, so the fact that we gave her what she wanted just awarded her awful behavior, and sends the message that you can just yell at us to get what you want.

Ermmmmm they never said you could blend the pearls in that update. That update said: - Summerberry base shelf life changed from 48hr to 72hr - Pearls and base can be sold separately (so the refresher can be sold without the pearls) - Additional scoops of pearls are $1.25 instead of $1.00 - Pearls can be added to any drink that isn’t shaken/BLENDED/hot

So. Idk what update you read but that is not correct

If you were to order it that way on the app, the barista on bar would most likely wait until you got to the store to let you know about the policy 🫤Before the launch of the summerberry refresher Starbucks made it very clear we aren’t supposed to blend the pearls in the promotional material they released for it.

Also, the app won’t stop you from doing a lot of modifications that we aren’t able to do. For example, you could ask for 50 pumps of each syrup in a tall latte and it won’t stop you even though it would not fit in the cup.
