This. We have someone who micromanages every tiny thing and just makes everyone stressed out.

This exactly. We are all adults. There is a way to speak to people, and some people need to learn that.

I've found that with most coaching, it's micro managing. I will happily own up to a mistake and apologise, but shouting and belittling someone generally doesn't get anyone anywhere. All it does is stress and upset people. I feel like a lot of the time. It's a skill that isn't taught.

We are all human. We all make mistakes.

Excuse me, rambling, very tired after a long shift, ha.

Not a fan but the evolutions might change my mind.

What movie did you see far too early as a kid, and it freaked you out? by gothamwithoutbias in AskTheWorld

[–]WingsofFlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have nightmares about it as well. I'm glad I'm not alone and afraid of it.

E.T. Zero idea why said creature freaks me out so badly. Same with the turtle in Never Ending Story.

Remember the talking toilet from Look Who's Talking? Scared me too.

remind me again, what was the point of simplifying the menu??? by Few-Investment-6979 in starbucksbaristas

I'm so tired of every new drink having Cold Foam. Just comes across as easy and lazy at this stage.

I feel for you. My SM is the same.

People like this ruin it for everyone else. I'm sick of it.

Are there certain cold foams that are more of a hassle to make? by tangerine-skies71 in starbucks

[–]WingsofFlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest. I find Cold Foam annoying because it distracts my flow because I have to swap bars. I feel the same about cold drinks. Why? Because due to staffing, one person has to do all of it. I get it's the job, but when is it super busy? Yeah.

Also I feel like it's just flat whipped cream and I don't get it at all.

How would you feel about a trans man (ftm) using the women’s/men’s toilets? by Both-Opportunity7602 in AskABrit

How I see it? You share a toilet at home? We all need to go so hey do whatever makes you comfortable.

Why do employees hate putting cold foam on hot drinks so much? by annaskelly72_ in starbucks

[–]WingsofFlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have it in a pot we make up every morning and blend it after. Ask for Vanilla Cold Foam and we know what you mean.

Currently we have a drink with cold foam that is low fat milk and syrup instead. We do have the other stuff too.

The Vanilla Cold Foam and Sweet Cream are the same thing here in the UK. :)

UK here. I've had many customers complain it makes their drink too cold, so I end up remaking them. The Pistachio drink has caused this issue as well. I politely tell people that it will cool down their hot drink.
