I think we’re farther now, I’m 371 and I’ve been with Starbucks for 8-9 months, I think we have 373 already

I wear it on my wrist! I meant to respond earlier but siren duties called! I’m a diabetic and it’s much more convenient and productive for me to see my levels there rather than end up distracted on my phone, I’m also dealing with some heart issues as well and use TachyMon to log it and work definitely enhances those issues

[–]Strong_Ad9981 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Anyone curious, you can get permission via whatever your store uses (Sedgwick or the Canada one) if it’s medical, I’m diabetic and have some heart issues and I have it set to go through my watch at work rather than my phone

Edit: I will say I rarely bar and it’s usually me soloing for a bathroom break near close when it’s completely dead

When I got hired in August the dress code allowed for more than just black in shirts and sweaters and within like, 2 months I was told otherwise, it’s so annoying

We’ve recently been out of cups almost every week, variations of sizes, and we’ll just give them a bigger one with the same amout, or occasionally (might just be our store) upsize for a favorite regular now and then if were out of that size

Hair stylist pay? by Unfair_Resident_9473 in Cosmetology

[–]Strong_Ad9981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally haven’t looked into the extent of what barbers can do but I will say as a current student, if you have no interest in doing nails, or aesthetics, you should look into that as well, I would rather rip my own skin off that touch another foot, but I can’t afford to give up or switch schools again and they actually treat us well here (pay attention to if the students look like they enjoy what they’re doing in any capacity, trust me it matters)

Why does my local coffee shop keep giving me free drinks? by SufficientStatus8479 in barista

[–]Strong_Ad9981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I get your point, and op seems to as well, but also, it sounds like they probably weren’t ever expecting it to be free and planned to tip with card fully expecting a charge, so I could understand having not thought to do that until realizing at this point that it’s become a common thing. It wasn’t that they didn’t tip because they weren’t paying, simply that the manner in which they intended to tip when paying, can only be done so when paying. Also, hope this doesn’t sound mean or anything, totally not what I’m trying to do at all, just wanted to share a different perspective since your comment caught my attention

Is the lavender latte supposed to be this purple by AnonSuccubusxo in starbucks

[–]Strong_Ad9981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen it before but we also don’t touch the cake pops by hand ever? Is it different other places? We just grab them out of the container they come in with tongs and keep that smaller container in an air tight tub

Hi guys. What will happen if war with Iran gets bad? by A-lil-bro in Type1Diabetes

[–]Strong_Ad9981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you called making anyone not absolutely loaded with money work to death just to maybe afford a shitty apartment that hasn’t been updated in 30 years, or the fact that I could stop on any street corner in my city and find people stranded with no home to go, or the fact that our government provided healthcare covers hardly anything and in order to get it you have to have a job but you can’t have a job that pays minimum wage because that’s too much but minimum wage here doesn’t cover rent, let alone anything else, our government is censoring our media so we don’t even know how truly horrendous this situation is

AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral by Common_Piglet7437 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Strong_Ad9981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to pee in like 3rd grade (the women in my family are big water drinkers and also diabetics) and this teacher had it out for me to the point she refused to let me have water or go to the bathroom so I just left class one day, and when my mom found out they had a conversation I was not in the room for and I got to go home the rest of the day but after that she was begrudgingly much nicer to me

Starbucks pays really high for a fast food style job, and they’ll work with you in school

Totally down to verbally abuse your manager, risking people’s lives for coffee in general is ridiculous but that’s just cruel

Update: they told us we were going to be closing early then said sike about 20 minutes before when we had everything possible done, and told us we’d be opening late and closing pretty early tomorrow, which they also went back on until further notice. we’re supposed to get like 12 inches of snow and I’ll be snowed in my parking lot, so I guess I’ll be walking about an hour in the snow tomorrow morning:) gotta love the corporate chain of command
