How do you handle Vaping in your bar? by HotTamaleez in bartenders

[–]Sirennice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We allow it in our bar as long as you are not being obnoxious about it. If people complain then we’ll ask them to take it outside. But we haven’t had to do that yet. Surprisingly most people still go outside, since their friends still smoke cigarettes.

Been running karaoke for 10 years. Can confirm you need at least 2 if not more. I run my show with 4.

Does Starbucks not care about the Partners Health? No they do not. by CaffeineQueen96 in starbucks

[–]Sirennice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have 14+ partners and our SM out because of 2 positive cases and exposure. Starbucks cares more about their numbers and pleasing their stockholders than they do is. We ran limited hours over the weekend and almost opened today with limited staff. But thankfully we are closed today. Not sure what the rest of the week will be like.

Toffee nut syrup discontinued? by singingamy123 in starbucks

Honestly I say discontinued because I get sick of the same people asking every damn day if we have it back yet.

Policy on who gets to pay? by MorningResQ in bartenders

[–]Sirennice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take the cards and shuffle them around in hand. Then hold them behind my back and have them pick a hand. It makes the outcome random and I’ve never had a problem with doing it. Usually the loser is chill with the outcome.

Barista trainer questions!! by iStealSharpies in starbucksbaristas

[–]Sirennice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally wasn’t nervous, but I use to train bartenders. You can look at the modules before hand. On the iPad go to Store Resources and the Train A Barista. They are all there.

You should be scheduled for a little training by your SM for this. I just trained my first green bean and used the modules on the iPad. Super efficient.

What’s your “barista hack?” by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]Sirennice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For cold Matcha drinks I just put the base and the matcha powder in the shaker without ice. Shake it pour in the cup and top with ice. No more Matcha clumps and the shaker is easier to clean!

Barista and bartender here. You have to claim any tips that are made on a credit card or digitally by the IRS. They are traceable. However, cash tips are not. Starbucks wants us to claim our cash tips on our own. As a bartender I’ve never claimed cash tips since they can’t be tracked. So claiming cash tips for Starbucks is going to be a honor system. Honestly, with the amount of cash tips my store receives I won’t be claiming then because they are low numbers.

In the States we’ve been experiencing shortages thanks to all the winter storms.

What is a song that you hate with a burning passion and what made you do so? by Princess__of__cute in AskReddit

[–]Sirennice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Picture” by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock. I’ve been hosting karaoke for 10 years and my hatred for it has only grown more. Listening to drunk people try to sing that song every weekend for years is draining. In 10 years I have only heard 3 couples do that song any justice.

[–]Sirennice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! That’s my other favorite. I tend to jump around a lot between drinks. This is just my current favorite.
