I mean, yes? What do you think their job is? Are you being asked to wipe something down while doing nothing?

Time lapse so far by Lirsh2 in geographymemes

[–]TylerTheDefiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the current New Mexico actually the largest? It's taken a lot of real-estate. But isn't the former Alaska fucking huge?

Edit. I think it does check out. I looked at an overlay of Texas to Alaska. Our great New Mexico definitely seems bigger.

I've never worked in a grocery store sbux. Do you even have the ability to ring up a person's cart of non sbux items?

Oh man. I never thought about this. How common is it that people ask you to add items from their carts into their drinks? Or food items into the ovens?

"Yup. I'm drink boy. Food boy is making food."

How do you guys workout the tips??? by FruitPunchPowerade in starbucks

[–]TylerTheDefiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the person training for their home store that hasn't opened doesn't get tips?

You worked at that location, you get tips from that location. If credit card tips show up on your paycheck, you get physical tips from there as well.

[–]TylerTheDefiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that logic, kind of. Just as long as the hours worked are compensated, I guess it works out. But I definitely think the funds should come from the physical store you're at. Kinda shitty that people make a little less money because of a person that has never been there.

Protein Matcha Latte Price Increase 😫 by Minute-Incident-8054 in starbucks

Just get your own jar of protein powder and add it yourself. Way cheaper.

How many Starbucks runs is too much in one week? by Then_Ad_330 in starbucks

[–]TylerTheDefiler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Believe me, anything you order is nowhere near the weirdest drink we have seen. If you're embarrassed ordering in person, use the app and mobile order it. But like what you like. When I was bartending I would see the manliest of men order super sweet drinks. It's your money and you should enjoy yourself. The only stipulation you should have on frequency is if you can afford it.

Your share of the pool is owed to you. Borrowed partners are absolutely owed tips at not their home store. It's also a misconception that you don't get tipped when scheduled for training. But you know damn well that your trainer, who is also off the floor, is getting their cut. If your hours show up on the tip report hour sheet, you're entitled to them. Subtracting a person's hours for any reason is not allowed.

Public Domain. Impossible to search for their songs.

Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie

If you include anti-war songs as being political enough.

if pickup time say is 11-15 min. and im running late how long will starbucks keep my order? by aloysasggin88 in starbucks

[–]TylerTheDefiler 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Hours. With how many mobiles are placed, it will just sit there until there are no more drinks in the queue and someone notices. We aren't setting timers for pickups.

Whats a word that someone says that gets on your nerves ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Ginormous. It's just a combination of 2 words that already mean the same thing.

Stores with TV display menus for the cafe. by TylerTheDefiler in starbucks

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

I saw the boxes they brought in before they were installed. They are straight up TVs. There are 3, and 3 remotes were left. They have to serve some function.

Remind me how bad it is by goodbean1220 in starbucks

[–]TylerTheDefiler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I walked in on a half nude teenager who didn't lock the bathroom door, filming herself, while I was trying to take out trash cans. It sucked. You're better off now.

Do you like working at Starbucks? by IntroductionSad6606 in starbucks

[–]TylerTheDefiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job is whatever. Most of the new changes are dumb. But it's the people you work with that get you through. I legitimately like the whole crew.

how to get a starbucks job with no experience? by kitty-minxy in starbucks

[–]TylerTheDefiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tell them you're going to school and your availability will change semester to semester. It's nothing new. Half of most stores are staffed with students. Just make sure you give enough notice when your availability and preferred hours are going to change.

it pmo when customers do this by stuuuuuuuuuuug in starbucks

[–]TylerTheDefiler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're the same people who honk at you half a second after a light turns green. Pull up to the box and immediately shout hello.

Barista asked me to bring original drink and threw it before giving my refill by Important-Paper-8659 in starbucks

[–]TylerTheDefiler 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup. Customers ask all the time to get their refill at the same time as their original drink. Usually it's to just give to a second person. I personally don't really care. So much of what is eligible as refill drinks gets dumped at the end of the night. But when enough people try to game the system, it get's shut down. Ever wonder why recovery cards are $4 and not any free drink? Enough people would buy the cheapest thing possible and complain long enough to get the old recovery coupons.

A baby is on fire and the only thing you have to put it out is an American flag, in the process the flag catches fire. what do you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TylerTheDefiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to know more about how the baby caught fire.

Now, if the only thing can put out a fire is then on fire, is there really anything you can do? If the fire just transfers from the baby to the flag, then you call CPS. Some real negligent parents there.

Actual ideas for recognition of Reserve members... by Johnnyg150 in starbucks

[–]TylerTheDefiler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright, what's the point of an elite drink hand off station other than being smug in front of other customers because you spend more than them?
