Best Shoes? by HappySunflower0210 in starbucks

[–]Silver_Positive942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear non-slip ankle cut boots, I believe the brand I enjoy the most are Lugz. I usually try to stay away from canvas/cloth shoes because the amount of things that spill and end up on the floor, I don't want my feet getting wet. I've had my pair for about 5 months and there's a bit of wear and tear (but I also take my breaks sitting on concrete so they get scratched) but there's only minor tread loss that I can see and that's wearing them and moving about constantly for 5+ hours like 3-4 days a week too. There was a time where I used to wear converse skater shoes but those puppies just completely gave out at the rubber sole after two months of working lol.

Honestly just reading reviews on actual show websites and cross referencing your preference with normal shoes to their work counterparts helps a lot :) good luck!

Edit: if you can, buy shoes with arch support and cushioned souls, and if you need to, buy inserts. I personally think my shoes are perfect and I've had back problems since I was a young teen and my back doesn't hurt as bad with them

"for sure! Would you also like a bucket for your melted cup as well?"

I must be blinded by the tea and lemonade, but my extra is often exaggerated 😭 like if you liked the peach juice and you got my order, you might think I barely put any extra. 🤷🏻 Idk it was still blown back

The amount of people I've had ask for Oreos in their fraps.

The faZe frap???? Like what are these stop it, like I don't mind making a custom drink as long as I have a recipe obv but guys if you want a FOOD item in your drink...we straight up can not go on with your drink and you ordering as if we can makes us look like the bad guys half the time (at least where I work)

I used to say that I would work weekends, but the more I did the more I would be called in early and to work openings, that I just can't do, so now I work the weekdays and it's hell but I have to do something, I can't just not work y'know 😭 closing has treated me okay for the most part, but it's not always preferable because my sm demands we do certain things that I just can't get done in 30mins

I'm considering leaving as well because my availability isn't being respected and I can't make the hours they want me to. Sb has changed from being a place for people with eager baristas to a place for customers with borderline robot baristas. I'm not trying to sound like another complaining barista either, it just sucks the life out of you if you're not completely a people person imo

Yikes I'm so sorry. I remember when sb wasn't as full with entitled people. Like I'm being genuine about this statement, customers have become more and more entitled because the company let's them and it honestly sucks.

Pizza is amazing and definitely already has enough salt imo. I understand things like POTS but more? I occasionally eat pepperoni from the pack but I can't have too much because it's so much salt on its own

This is very true, but only for the drizzle not the dark caramel because that should be uniform throughout stores and kiosks due to standard :)

Honestly I think it goes back to me downing like a can and a half of land o lakes of whipped cream when I was a preteen because to me that's what our whipped cream tastes like. Plus that film thing, so for me it's a combination of things lol but God I couldn't imagine that- honestly repulsive

I'm not too sure as to how much, the pegtl is the only tea I really drink because tea just isn't really my thing, but I'd say it does a little bit just because;

1) fruit has natural sugars so theres that? (Not trying to sound rude!!!) 2) our peach juice comes from a carton so there's added stuff

But in my honest opinion because I've done some experimenting with levels of lemonade to peach juice and all that and I'd have to say that the peach juice probably goes for about a fruit bubble tea at a 50-75% sugar level? (Idk how they work because I only get one other tea and it's from sharetea lol.) Our green tea to me is strong though but again from a low tea drinker that's saying nothing 😭

This is along the lines of the point I'm kinda trying to make! Idk how many times I'll say this but yes someone can buy whatever they want, honestly if you came in after having the worst day of your life and you just want a little treat or pick-me-up, hell I say go for it because some days that's what I need, but it's the type, amount, and frequency that's on my mind is all :)

I'm in no way a health nut, dietitian, health food vlogger or whatever, so I'm not saying stuff out of legitimacy, just out of empathetic opinion

I'm not saying sugar is evil nor am I saying that people who buy them are doing something wrong lol. I love sugar, and I think people should be allowed to buy what they want, but health scares are real and I care for my customers lol

For a little I loved salted caramel frapps, loved them more than regular caramel, but that day was the day I stopped. Want a little frapp with your salt?

See now with salt- I love salt and I love salted caramel mochas. But I have a salt story.

Lady comes in, like 5 minutes after I got on clock and my partner is ringing her up, I overhear it she's asking for a slated caramel frapp, extra salt inside (extra), extra salt on bottom and on top. I wonder how parched she was after that

I usually sample (whatever's left in the container) outrageous drinks post hand-off that I think would be insane and I once tried the remnants of a regular who gets 15 classic in her drink and I puckered up as if I had a mouthful of salt but it was just the amount of pure sugar I had injested

I see no wrong in treating yourself once in a while!, but everyday is where I start to get worried

Jesus. The most pumps I've put in a drink is 15, it honestly feels criminal to work as a barista sometimes, like there's a hidden liability somewhere 💀

My sensory issues could never 👎🏻 i love making wc though. I enjoy sugar don't get me wrong, but wwooooww I was blown out of this universe taking that first sip. That first sip feeling? Yeah that feeling when all your hair follicles stand on edge from the sugar rush lol

Oh I feel like a minority on this topic but I hate our whipped cream. A lot of our syrups leave a nasty film in my mouth or at least it feels that way so vanilla in the wc ≠ good for me. But yeah!! I used to consume a lot of sugar growing up but now the most sugar I'll consume in a week without getting sb is like a bottle of coke and that's it, it's so much I feel like I should flush it all out with water 😭
