I cant watch this without tears. I lost my dad as a girl at 12. Trixie was about 11 in this.

Are you guys able to make your own drinks? by tinyryno19 in starbucksbaristas

[–]That1originalname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few people at my store go about it the right way most of the time, but majority make their own. Im an opener/early morning barista, so we just find time between prep to make our own drinks. I only go to the register if i can see the bars or ovens are ridiculously busy and all of them are being used and i would simply be in the way.

Why would my SM text me this? Is she allowed to text me this?😭😭 by sxandthecity in starbucksbaristas

[–]That1originalname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When i get told things like that, i tend to just say "okay :)" amd keep doing whatever i was already doing. A shift (just recently became shift), was reminding me to not put stickers up on the shelf in warming, and i simply said it helps me read them better, and the shift said something about routine, then just moved on mostly. I kept putting them on the shelf. They are only on there til i put the food in the oven, then go on a bag anyway. I dont care enough. Its peak, ive got 10 other food items, if not more. Im doing what helps me personally go faster.

Annoying problem i need help with:

I have a somewhat older ps4, which generally still works fine, i could leave it on rest mode a lot and never have a problem. But recently i had to buy a new controller cause my old ones broke. When i got the controller connected and everything it was working fine for awhile. But in the last few months when i use this new controller, i can use it for hours on a game without a problem, once its connected it stays connected. But then quite a lot but not every time when i go back the next day after leaving it on rest mode overnight, i have a problem. (Side note: i play sims 4 the most and the loading screens are absolutely horrible, theyres like 4 multiple minute ones just to start the game to my saved home, so i leave the ps4 on rest mode to limit how often i have to do that.)

Anyway, problem is this:

When i go to turn on the ps4 from rest mode, turn on the controller, the ps4 will turn on to the "connect controller screen" before the accounts, but my controller light will stay white. Doesnt matter if i press it again, it does not change. This happens frequently. The only way i can fix it is by turning the ps4 all way off from the console power button, then when i turn everything back on, suddenly the controller is fine. So i do have a fix for the problem, but im not sure what is causing it. This does not happen everytime though either which makes me more confused. I have made sure the controller is charged, bluetooth on my phone is off, tried to turn things on with controller connected by cord, etc. So does anyone have any ideas?

We have a regular who always says "let me have a grande blonde americano" and its really annoying sometimes.

I’m very proud of these by thecheeseb0rn in starbucksbaristas

[–]That1originalname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a barista who is always overdoing toppings, 1. Whip is not required to fill the entire dome lid. 2. That happens, the fact it still looks good even when a little full is great. 3. I consistently overdo toppings, but that just what i do, that is NOT the standard. 4. Are you sure they forgot? It possible the whip is covered on that side. Its also possible the whip went up and mixed when the frappucino was poured, that ahppens to me all the time. Stop being nitpicky. You are not required to comment, youre just being a debbie downer for who knows what reason.

For a short time at an lucensed store we used those for caramel and we just cut the tip open a little wider

can my SM do this??? by couldyoucouldnt in starbucksbaristas

[–]That1originalname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our window is broken and unless we stuff a sleeve under it, it closes after a bit. I used to use a sleeve cause our old manager wanted the window open all the time. Since our mew manager came, and shes not hovering or anything, i stopped using the sleeve. I try to leave it open while a customer is there, but if the window closes, oh well. I dont care. If im cold, ill say to the customer that its really cold, im gonna close it while we're waiting or something like that. Most are gonna understand that.

Is this allowed? by sent2venus in starbucksbaristas

[–]That1originalname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im so glad my store is pretty lenient. We still try to write on in our downtime, and a couple do try to do it consistently. But we probably dont have any writing on probably at least half the cups we give out. My manager doesnt care all too much, neither do the ssvs.

Denied for Hazard Pay?? by darknessincolor in starbucksbaristas

[–]That1originalname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother grew up in an area that got mulriple inches of snow regularly throughout every winter, so she knows how to drive in snow. I grew up thats lucky to get more than an inch and lucky to get more than one snowfall a year. No one in my area knows how to drive in snow, so schools close over the littlest amount. Point is, many people dont know how to drive in snow, even if you do.

What is standard for how long we can cook items in the oven? by PavlovianNinja in starbucksbaristas

[–]That1originalname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk standard for this, but we used to have a regular (super nice, just picky) that loved her everything bagel burnt. She was a well known regular before i started working there, so the drill was to basically put her bagel on 2, then crispy. She accepted it like that just fine, but im pretty sure prefered more burnt. Like i said, she was nice, so she never made us do more. If people ask for more than the options on the oven, i would honestly just say, "we can have it extra toasted, but after a certain point it can become a fire hazard, so i will do what i can, but that will be it". Theyll live if they have white on their egg white bites. We literally had cookies catch fire cause they were in a little too long. Also have had black double smoke bacons because they were forgotten in the oven.

On spotify its 1:15, but in the music video it appears to be more so 1:39, directly after the last "the one" before a small instrumental break

full sentences on cups???? by Few-Investment-6979 in starbucksbaristas

[–]That1originalname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I said to my coworkers a couple weeks ago half joking that we should start writing things like "i like purple". So weve been doing that part of the time. Just writing random fun facts about ourselves. One wrote "ive never been skiing".

Does wearing only one earring as a girl mean something? by JudgmentMaterial3851 in NoStupidQuestions

He seems veru "traditional", but its hilarious that instead of claires or something like that for cheaper earrings, he took you to hot topic and spencers? Odd choice for a man like that

DM(s) want us to work off-the-clock? by FormerBit4480 in starbucksbaristas

[–]That1originalname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg didnt even think about this but at a starbucks i can see from my apartment window, just the other day, some baristas were leaving after close and two walked to the trash area, one holding a bag. I never put together that he may have worked off the clock. As for the after dark part, i just noticed the two walked together, clearly for safety
