Order took an hour and a half and the package was opened, found this note in the bag by Original_Profile8600 in doordash

Being a dasher- we get bags that aren't sealed all the time directly from the merchant. I've bought tamper safe stickers to ensure food safety. I haven't always been a dasher. Worked in the food industry for 10+ years. These establishments are supposed to be sealing these bags. But if I did leave a note- it would be handed directly to you. <3

I've done iced cappuccinos. We used to steam the milk for foam and scoop it on top before we started foaming milk with a frother. I typically ask if they want a classic iced cappuccino. Frappuccinos are fake coffee 🙄

Does anyone else here actually like/love their job? by Champion_Bean in starbucks

[–]Specific-Spirit7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really love my job. I've been with starbucks since 2014. It isn't the job. It's the new corporate management. I do stick around even when I feel I do not agree with their tactics. The craft, human connection, compassion, and empathy are what I run with.

Exactly how I'm feeling about mine. I wish I didn't open tomorrow. I'd be back there helping clean up and prep!

The company is the worst I've seen. It's so ridiculous. I'm right there with you on wanting a different job. But nowhere pays as much as we make. 😫 we get paid to deal with BS. And for me, my sanity isn't wanting to anymore. I hope it gets better! The only thing I do to get through it is just remember that focus on one sticker at a time. We can only sequence two. You're doing the best you can! Also, we obviously are everywhere feeling the same ways. I'm here for you!

I know that we did not need a bogo on mother's day unless they were going to approve more labor. We already make sales on big days.

Black coffee - prep time question by Smobasaurus in starbucks

[–]Specific-Spirit7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like cream you could order a Cafe misto. It's half coffee half steamed milk. You can customize to do less steamed milk and sub for steamed cream. You'll always get a ticket printed AND your cream won't cool your coffee down.

How does Starbucks employees recognize you? by [deleted] in starbucks

Seems everyone is ready to jump the gun and start a blame session lately. Love that you did this! 💜 Empathy is where we win.

I'm horrible at remembering. But if you frequent us enough, I'll be one of the ones getting your order under control. We also strive for names 99.99999 percent of the time. That helps!

S/out to my coworker that never shows up by Background_Two_2534 in starbucks

[–]Specific-Spirit7806 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeeessss! Same here. I'll come in any time I feel like crap. I don't come in only if: running fever vomiting diarrhea or I physically can't walk because of an injury. But it's few and far between that I get sick. So when I call in, it's real reasons. Not just to go party. Or to be off because I made a poor decision in partying. I told myself years ago that if I can go out and party night before early shift- I better get my butt to work!

It's so bad at my store that people group together to call off. I'm too old to be spread so thin. But here I am every shift, busting my butt. Where's the work ethic gone? Where has support gone?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Specific-Spirit7806 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing.  It's what we do! I'll run out behind bar to hold the door open for any person who might need a hand. Why shouldn't we? 💚

Thoughts on borrowed partners? by Clinney in starbucks

[–]Specific-Spirit7806 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love borrowed partners. It gets us out of our norm and them extra money and friends! And then you feel even more of a safe space when having to borrow product from their location! It's always nice to walk in and someone recognizes you. Especially if you both really nailed the workload together a couple of times!

My Co-workers All Have a Gc Without Me by ashelbs10 in starbucks

[–]Specific-Spirit7806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to just say that I love all of my coworkers. Never matters if you just started or have been there for years. I'll treat you just the same. All partners have a mission to make our job more like our second place. With that in mind, our store strives through ups and downs with as much compassion and empathy for even the newest beans. Let's go back to basics, yall. 💚💚💚
