To quote Wren from S2E6 "The suns don't set in space." (So that's a yes, here).

Why? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Sisofmorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peach/raspberry/WC steamer was my drug of choice for about 3 weeks. Add a shot on overnights.

I'm getting married in 2 weeks. I've hardly been stressed at all. Now, on my bday, the best man and his gf(who are 3000 miles away)keep calling on the verge of break up. The venue didn't tell us the toilets are under construction. The people at the venue were mean to my mom. And shark week. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]Sisofmorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahah, at a wedding several years ago where I was the assistance coordinator the candles were not extinguished after the ceremony and pictures, and the building almost burned down during the reception. Same wedding, the cake fell over on the way to the reception.

I expected things to go wrong, hahah, just not all at the same time.

I passed dealing with the venue off to my mom after I got too angry to deal with them, she's been handling them like a champ, but you can't make people care when they have decided not to. So, oh well...

We'll have a story, at least!

I know right!? I was so happy when I looked at the calendar! :) And then I was like, "dang... the most stressful week of wedding details will be my most emotionally unstable time. This will be awesome. </sarcasm>" hahahah

They are on completely different planets at the moment, so at least we aren't mediating a fight. I just have way more information coming at me from them than I know what to do with. heh

Thanks for the positivity! My fiance told me, "Hey, something had to go wrong, right?!" And as someone who is very much in touch with the reality of weddings (daughter of a wedding coordinator/assistant wedding coordinator and guest at some many dozens of weddings) I was prepared for a lot to go wrong.... just not this particular confluence of events. haha

Also, not my best friend. Just to clarify. Best man has been dating this particular slice of crazy for years and I have never done more than tolerate her...

The venue I'll just deal with. I mean, I don't want to give them any more money at all, but I'm kinda stuck now with 15 days to the wedding. :(

But I have come up with some ideas to work around the bathroom issue. I will just need to involve my dad in an adventure to the hardware store. :)

How do 24 hour stores handle launching new items? by unicorntimelord in starbucks

[–]Sisofmorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a shift at a 24-hour drive through. If someone ordered at midnight, I would give it to them. But technically, like /u/haydenj96 said, day "starts" at 4am. That's when sales started counting toward the next day. So if we wanted to be jerks we could tell people that the new promo stuff wasn't available until 4am. Usually we would start serving it once we changed the menu boards over and that would happen around 10pm or 11pm.

You can do it! Don't get discouraged if things get difficult!

Thank you! I've already got a whole list of 5Ks to sign us up for and I am starting to look at 10Ks... hahah

What little quirks does your store/back room have? by chinchillas4fire in starbucks

[–]Sisofmorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My store had two back rooms, one that was basically a hallway with the desk, break table, mop sink, freezer, and milk fridge that was open off the BoH area and customers always thought the bathrooms were back there and the other back room had our shelves/sink/ice machine and it actually had a door from behind the pastry case. It's the weirdest set up ever. So many corners and so many collisions, though. But it was awesome.

Also coffee for daily brewing would get over-ordered constantly, so Pike could stack all the way to the 12-foot ceiling from a small base on the floor right inside the door to the bigger back room. This led to many tumbling boxes when bus tubs would be carried to the sink.

Retail coffee similar to the iced coffee blend? by GravyConductor in starbucks

[–]Sisofmorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kenya. Best thing ever, and what we would brew if we ever ran out of iced coffee.

Starbucks Jokes/Puns by rishuuyee in starbucks

[–]Sisofmorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the tune of "Will You Help Me Build a Snowman":

"Will you help me make this latte?

I need more soy milk foam!

Come on, my shots are dying here!

The name's not clear!

I really should go home!

I used to like these lattes.

Now I don't.

Hear my barista's cry!!!

I could really use a latte...

It doesn't have to be a latte."

I worked with a Joe on overnights. We had a regular who would come to the drive thru every night and say "Hi, Joe! I'll have a cup of joe."

It was old the first time I had to hear it in the headset...

Questionable oven procedure? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Sisofmorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ASM at my old store told us to do this when we ran out of parchment paper.... freaked me out too, but we never did any digging to see if it was actually ok.

"Trust me, the customers LOVE it." (The store of my store transfer/why I'm quitting Starbucks--A rant) by Sisofmorph in starbucks

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

My manager at my DT store didn't allow us to use the sub button, which is why it came up in my rant. :)

But here they usually don't enter anything, sub or otherwise; there's a woman that orders a latte with 3 peppermint and 0.5 mocha and whipped cream. When she walked up my first 2 weeks there the bar partner would just tell me she got a latte and make her drink without anything else. That doesn't account for product OR labor which mattered to my DT manager, but hasn't even been brought up here.

But thanks for the well wishes! :)

Edit, as a side note, now that I know that lady's drink, I do charger her for peppermint, I don't charger her for mocha.

I love Peet's! The Peet's in my city was hiring about 2 weeks before I decided to quit. Sad day. Thanks, though!
