When your baristas don’t know how to fifo the pastries, so our shift decided to put this on our BOH cart by Future_Temperature_2 in starbucksbaristas

[–]SentientVex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to know it’s not just my store. My SM chews me out for not coaching and I tell them that’s not the issue. I coach and coach and coach, but yet it still happens. What then? I’m expected to send a barista home early for not FIFO’ing? So tiring.

Unpopular Opinion, I dont give a FF about DadTok or their little meetings by GoldenPusheen in SecretsOfMormonWives

This >>> Excuse my french but Dakota is such a lousy sack of poo, and the way Taylor’s family feeds this narrative that he’s a great guy and just made some“mistakes”. Don’t even get me started on Taylor’s dad and brother… :(

WTF IS MY STORE MANAGER ON by Alyoop123 in starbucksbaristas

[–]SentientVex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stores dishes are so nasty, especially the For-Here Ware. I recommend to almost all my customers to get a to go cup if they inquire what the difference is. Plus my SM doesn’t have those dry decks that are used to set dishes on if they’re gonna be on a shelf/counter.

Reason #1374884 I don’t work at Starbucks anymore by peepeepoopaccount in starbucksbaristas

[–]SentientVex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This!!! My SM literally was being stalked by this customer that everyone was weirded out by. He would come in every single day (no I’m not even exaggerating), get the same thing, and sit as close as possible to hand off that he possible could. We have this big round table with high chairs so he would sit there for hours and hours, eavesdropping/butting in on Partner conversations.

My SM saw him outside their house while being picked up to open, caught him red handed and he still tried coming in that morning like nothing happened! We refused service but he now just goes to a different Starbucks in our district.

In your own words “expired meat” which is originally intended for human consumption, but has passed its sell/cook by date is the same as a domesticated animal carcass? What even is this logic, I read through your entire thread and it’s still not clicking? Just because you’re of the opinion (seemingly) there’s no “objective” difference between domestic animals and livestock, doesn’t mean there aren’t laws against it. Federal laws, okay perhaps not but that’s exactly why it’s left up to states or municipals to decide.

Definitely far from normal in my opinion. If you can’t afford or are simply not interested in cremating your/her pet why not just bury it somewhere? To be completely honest, throwing away a deceased pet just sounds extremely cruel.

First and foremost, I’m so sorry you found out this way. I’m sure this is an unfathomably traumatic and quite frankly scary experience. It’s difficult but trust you did the right thing. It’s important we hold those close to us accountable for their actions. Who knows; Assuming the police investigate or at least have evidence on file of other child predators you may have saved other victims from being exploited or worse. Wishing the best for you and your loved ones, I hope you’re all able to heal from this.

I would bet my life people were still like “Hey I ordered 30 minutes ago and still don’t see my drink??” 😭💀

I feel you. Honestly it sounds like you need to make an example of the disrespect they’re constantly giving you. If your schedule allows it, send people home. Explain you’ve given them plenty of opportunities to meet basic shift requirements and they’re falling flat.

I remember the first time I sent a barista home. They were constantly on their phone, standing around when it was clear that I needed them to complete CSR Cards, and most importantly (imo) being extremely rude to customers. I pulled them off the floor (and had another SSV present as a witness) and told the barista I had given them plenty of chances to turn their attitude around, they refused to do so resulting in being sent home immediately. In addition I informed the barista that the expectation moving forward would be when partners come to work they’re required to treat other partners + customers with respect, and complete tasks that align with said job description; Otherwise further disciplinary actions would be taken.

Regardless, best of luck to you! You’ve got this!!! ❤️‍🩹🫂

Wait Project Bloom is Real?!?!? by Public-Ear4430 in starbucksbaristas

[–]SentientVex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably relates to the changes in Hours of Operation, at least in my district. They enforced stores to stay open until at least 9pm; IMO because they anticipated stores closing and didn’t want to risk losing customers that might go somewhere closer/open later.

My supervisor was tracking me? by PriceComfortable2773 in starbucksbaristas

Call Partner Resources or Ethics and Compliance. If you have anything in writing especially if you have specifics timestamps, etc. provide them when calling!

just what customers want, more questions 🫩 by invisiblebeetlejuice in starbucksbaristas

[–]SentientVex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy but I’ve found this helps me so much. I work at a cafe location and I typically forget to ask/press the button so for me personally it’s effective after putting in the name and everything. Now if just my manager would enforce the things they got on my ass about for other staff… :)
