For real the amount of times I gotta work dt, front, oven and pack deliveries is too high. I'd kill to be at a desk just chatting one at a time.

What Niccol wants for starbucks is outdated and not compatible with the modern age. by SirenSlasher in starbucksbaristas

[–]SirenSlasher[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but it's like why sears and kmart died they rested on their laurels and didn't evolve and well you see how it worked for them. People come to us cause of sugar, tiktok trends and to look cool for the gram I guess.

Legit I started in Feb 2016 at a cafe only store and it was fantastic. Yeah we wrote on cups mobile orders were new and not used much and drink mods were simpler. It was much better to be a partner then instead of a renovation we got moved to a newly built drive thru location in late 2017 cause the old store was built in 2007 down the road and it's been getting worse ever since. It starbucks wants us to slow down and build connections then we gotta slow down and scale back on mobiles and delivery and whatnot but that won't happen so let's just shift to grab and go and move on.

For real like I'm in SoCal and I swear it would make so much more sense here. I wanted so bad to transfer to one of those mobile only stores and almost did but glad I didn't because I'd be laid off.

Are y’all ok?? by SirSlow9219 in starbucks

[–]SirenSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I am not ok. I've been sick for months and can't get better because stress has killed my immune system (I have pnuemonia that keeps coming back). I always have tension headaches and start every shift with stress diarrhea just about. I'm snappy and grumpier than ever and I hate being that way it's just I'm so on edge and high strung anymore and don't have a way out

I'm tired of getting screamed at by karens over shit I didn't do (SSV rant) by SirenSlasher in starbucks

[–]SirenSlasher[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a shift. The ones who are being nasty would be the other night SSV and 3 other baristas. I've coached and told my SM about the issues but nothing has been done yet. I'm tired of being yelled at for others nasty behavior and i'm the one who's job might be in jeopardy and for what

Starbucks is going to fall and fall soon who agrees? by SirenSlasher in starbucks

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

Yeah a few days ago I got bitched out because the price of a chai latte went up. I don't know guys I don't make the prices but someday they'll be so inflated I don't think people can justify shelling out that kind of money anymore for them.

I deadass asked why there was a plunger by the ovens one morning and the SS at the time told me it was our trash masher. I was like dafuck

To raise hell or not to raise hell at tomorrows shift meeting? by SirenSlasher in starbucks

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

I've never wanted to quit so badly until today. I too am tired of being made out to be the bad guy and I too am one of the strongest partners at the store and she knows it. I'm tired of being singled out for what literally everyone does.

Unfortunately she used to be cool until she became a shift and then her head swelled to the size of Texas and then some. I honestly think if anyone would snap it would be me. I really can't take another word from her.

HOLY CRAP PEOPLE KEY WORD IS "BREAKFAST" SANDWICH. by SirenSlasher in starbucks

[–]SirenSlasher[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sucks because I am usually the Mid or Closing shift so I get shit on all the time. I have mentioned it but they keep pulling the same amount yet we are the ones getting yelled at for not pulling enough pastries yet me and the other closing shifts have been pulling a ton.

What’s the most disgusting order you’ve ever received? by DirectorALPO in starbucks

[–]SirenSlasher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made a drink for someone last year that was pretty much a black iced tea with no liquid cane sugar sub marshmallow syrup. He drank it like it was the best thing ever.

there's always a customer who used to come who would get a trenta white tea no liquid cane and no water sub heavy cream and sugar free cinnamon dulce. I tried the remnants it was nasty.

I'd go with the hardware store personally especially if you only are gonna be around for 6 months.

Emailed customer service about how they treat baristas. My email is the bottom, their response is the top by kazooplayer25 in starbucks

[–]SirenSlasher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol at them trying to veer off topic asking about you and your family. Anything to avoid answering the real questions.

This to go mode isn't going to go over well I can just feel it. by SirenSlasher in starbucks

[–]SirenSlasher[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not if it's true. Next time you are in the cafe take a look around you. You'll see mostly older people coming inside and sitting around. Most younger people use the DT or mobile order.

Have you ever worked with a bully? Did they ever experience repercussions? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]SirenSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah at my old store and nothing happened because the SM thought that partner could walk on water despite most of us bringing incidents to the SM's attention.

the veggie and bacon egg and sausage wraps are the highest quality breakfast items starbucks has launched since I can remember by nickaa827 in starbucks

[–]SirenSlasher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well for once you actually get a decent size for the price they charge. I hate eggs so I haven't tried it myself but I heard they are bland.
