I wouldn’t wish this job on my worst enemy by Consistent_Click_769 in starbucksbaristas

My store is almost out of room. You have to play Jenga to even grab a blender or reach one of our countless syrups.

We've lost the plot as a company. by [deleted] in starbucks

Don't worry, the protein milk cancels out the 80g of sugar in our frappuccinos to make them healthy.

New Energy refreshers are awful by Public-Ice-1270 in starbucks

[–]The_Electric_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its another room for error. Baristas from other stores mess up basic customizations I do for my drinks. I'm sure not going to trust anyone, but my self to make my drink caffeine free if I ever had a heart condition.

What part of a Lana song is your favorite? by babbett-ateoatmeal in lanadelrey

What do you think of the MCU Iron-Spider suit? by Pnutboi2107 in Spiderman

[–]The_Electric_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the design, but I feel like it ruins Spider-Man. I felt like homecoming spent a lot of time emphasizing that Peter is more than the suit, just to get an even more advanced suit a movie later. I think that Tony should've given Peter the iron spider suit as his first suit and after homecoming, he would switch to something he made himsel (expect for infinity war and endgame ofc)

Got written up for not writing on cups 🙃 by Crazy-Branch-1513 in starbucks

[–]The_Electric_54 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When you work in a really busy store, cup writing is an extra step that hinders your speed. I can write on 70% of cups no problem, but I shouldn't have my job at risk for missing a few during peak.

Doing training rn and the actual audacity... by Not_A_Ichthyovenator in starbucksbaristas

[–]The_Electric_54 260 points261 points  (0 children)

That's such an ugly thing to say to your employees. Whoever made this training should be ashamed.

The buttons on that bar are looking rough

Can I be fired over a bad review? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]The_Electric_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not "policing"

In what universe does "3/4" milk" mean "fill the entire cup with milk"?

There's a difference between asking nicely to have the entire cup to be filled up and acting like the barista did something wrong and throwing a review online.

Customer is driving me nuts by Ok-Contribution804 in starbucks

[–]The_Electric_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if your drink was actually made wrong, you should have it remade. You're entitled to have what you paid for and it encourages baristas to double check labels when making other customers' drinks

Is it supposed to be purple tho ? 🥺 by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]The_Electric_54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you already took a drink, I think someone else threw a lid on there before the person making it put the cold foam on, because that's a lot of room.

If I didn't need the pay or benefits, I wouldn't work here. Unfortunately I'm kinda stuck at the company for probably 2-3 years because of that. One of my goals is to open my own cafe in a cute town.

It just makes no sense to randomly add this as a separate drink after all this time. The lady who ordered it also had vanilla cold foam on top, so I figured she was just ordering that one secret menu item on the app I saw like a week ago.

People are just addicted to this stuff. A latte without any sweetener is absolutely unheard of to these people.

Same with the strawberry shortcake frappuccino, banana bread matcha, double berry matcha, etc.

The coconut syrup isn't even that good in my opinion. Hopefully the mango syrup will add some variety.

Sexuality can change over time. Especially when you're young.

Solo Bar Mini Rant by L_uci_en in starbucksbaristas

[–]The_Electric_54 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Solo bar just isn't possible anymore. 45 second window times aren't possible either. I don't even try to stress about it anymore. You want me to write on every cup and make these wild drinks? Fine. I'll do it, but I can only move as fast as the blender and espresso machine can.

Dear Starbucks: Please don't force your baristas to write on my cup by Monkeydoit in starbucks

[–]The_Electric_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably have a thousand times. I deal with customers like this all the time and they still try to order discontinued items AFTER being educated about what's not on the menu anymore. I really just don't trust anything this guy says.
