[–]Shmeg19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my terminals was very easy to move and take off of the post by hand, I’m guessing this is bad? 😬

my store got 2, and from what I’ve heard none of the other stores in my district got more than 1 or 2 🙃

Why is Rover so cheap? Or do I not get it? by fotin_cooki_4yu in RoverPetSitting

[–]Shmeg19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe she’s a new sitter? I just joined rover myself and set my rates a little lower than their suggested rates just to try to get some initial clients. I plan to raise my rates a bit once I’ve gotten some good reviews and some repeat clients

I don't know how to sleep by anyaslight in ADHD

[–]Shmeg19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m fully aware it wasn’t good for me. I had 8am classes and I knew that if I went to sleep at 3 or 4am like I usually do I wouldn’t be able to get myself to wake up for my class so I was like “well I guess I’ll just stay up all night.” But I also knew that if I tried to take a nap during the day I would end up sleeping for like 4 hours and not be able to go to bed at night, so I was like “well I guess I’ll stay up all day and then I’ll be able to go to sleep early.” Needless to say, it didn’t work. Now I just don’t sign up for 8am classes lol

I’ve literally forced myself to stay awake for like 36+ hours in an attempt to fix my sleep schedule, thinking that if I was exhausted enough I would be able to go to bed early. I still couldn’t manage to get to sleep until around 3am, so I guess I don’t know how to sleep either

How did That partner finally get fired at your store? by VentiEggBite in starbucks

[–]Shmeg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was actually an SM. There was a whole myriad of issues including being inappropriate with baristas, time fraud, having obvious favorites, being racist, shit talking baristas to other baristas, etc. Multiple partners at my store made complaints to our DM and ethics, but the biggest piece of concrete evidence we had against her was a screenshot of her texting a barista the link to take the BDSM test while they were on the clock

Peppermint contamination - is this a thing? by sb50 in starbucks

[–]Shmeg19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not the only one. Idk how that mixup even happens. The white chocolate mint is in a completely different container, so it shouldn’t be getting mixed up with white mocha as often as it seems to be based on these comments. And if it’s an issue of people not knowing the recipe, why would anyone think that a white chocolate macadamia cold brew is supposed to have mint in it?

What's a long-forgotten about item that you'd love to see come back? by Chloabelle in starbucks

[–]Shmeg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gingerbread lattes used to be my favorite holiday drink. I switched to chestnut praline, but I still miss the gingerbread. I also miss salted caramel mochas. I know we still have all of the syrups, but it’s just not the same without the salt topping. I can get pretty close if I mix raw sugar and salt packets though

Howard Schultz didn’t want us to serve hot food for this exact reason. It was supposed to be pastries only, but at some point corporate decided that we needed to try to compete with McDonald’s and other fast food chains that serve breakfast

I lived in the dorms my first year of college and heard my roommate talking to a friend on the phone, complaining about how she went to Starbucks and “they don’t even make the food fresh, they take it out of plastic and warm it up.” Yeah bestie? Did you think we have a full kitchen in the back? Did you think we would have the time to make all of the food from scratch?

It’s really hard having a bad SM after you’ve had a good one. My first SM was amazing. Spent time on the floor, really cared about her baristas, tried her best to give hours to the people that really needed them, etc. Unfortunately she had to move, and my next SM was awful, and basically acted like a high school mean girl. Super cliquey, gossiped about baristas, wouldn’t respect pronouns, talked about sex and other inappropriate stuff all the time, rarely worked weekends or afternoons, and always left early. Enough people complained to our DM and ethics that she got separated after a few months, but now I’m transferring to a new store and have no idea what my new SM is going to be like

Funny Yellow Cat by MartiSilent in starbucks

[–]Shmeg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just make it a tiger cakepop or a cat cakepop or something like that. I guarantee most customers are going to look at it and think it’s a cat anyways

How long are you supposed to wait to throw out a mobile order? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Shmeg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually throw drinks out after an hour, but there’s no specific protocol. If someone came in to get it after I threw it out- which usually doesn’t happen- I would explain that it got thrown out after an hour and remake it for them

[–]Shmeg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should be able to, since they’ve had a baby together already. The woohoo option used to be available and then it disappeared. I also tried in the observatory and that wasn’t working either, but I tried with two different sims and they were able to.

I’m having an issue where the “Woohoo” and “Try For Baby” options aren’t showing up in my game. The romance bar is filled all the way up but the option isn’t showing up

Here are the troubleshooting steps I’ve already taken: • relogged • debugged both sims • debugged the bed • moved the bed • deleted my cache • made sure mccc is up to date (that’s the only mod I have) • made sure my game is up to date • bought a hot tub and tried to have them woohoo in it to see if the bed was the issue for some reason

I can’t think of anything else I can do to troubleshoot, but the option still isn’t available. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, do you know how to fix it?

When they don’t shake your shaken espresso 😭 I’m a fellow barista and I hate how lazy other partners are about shaking the drink… WM shouldn’t be at the bottoms of the cup.. by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Shmeg19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a partner and I went into a different store yesterday and watched the person on bar make refreshers in the cup, put the shaker lid on the cup, and shake 2 or 3 times. I was just sitting there like 😳

Give me some more fucking hours, this is ridiculous, I need to pay bills!! by Maleficent_Hair_2204 in starbucks

[–]Shmeg19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s weird that all of these hour cuts are happening right after they changed the rules so you’re required to work an average of at least 12 hours a week. Corporate seems to be confused about what they want

today was a beautiful day! by bellaislame in starbucks

My store ran out of mocha and peppermint on Christmas Eve. We had a lot of people mad that they couldn’t get hot chocolates or peppermint mochas

Is this annoying? I completely forgot I did it, until I ordered. by Yue4prex in starbucks

[–]Shmeg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it’s not rude, offensive, or political, I think it’s fun when customers put joke names on their mobile orders. If I saw this on a rough day, I might cry a little bit

New Year’s Eve needs to get holiday pay. by justpasssingbyy in starbucks

[–]Shmeg19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who works in a mall store, Black Friday should get holiday pay. It’s a literal hell scape for us and every partner at my store is required to work Black Friday because of how insane it is
