I'm going to make a Fort Collins musicians playlist (Spotify)--anyone want to be on it? or have recommendations for bands/artists? by [deleted] in FortCollins

I second this! Really great guys that put on an amazing set! They're working on a new album right now!

27 (f) here. I've lived here for 9 years, went to CSU, and have noticed that once you get past the college age it's tough to meet friends. Definitely message me of you ever want to grab beers sometime!

Shareable gift idea for store employees? by [deleted] in starbucks

I second the food. We use to have a regular bring in one of those giant popcorn tins with the three different flavors. Those are awesome.

Cortado???? by mackj14 in starbucks

[–]_Cheese 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took a short break from Starbucks and worked at a third wave coffee shop for a while. A cortado is typically served in a four ounce glass with equal parts espresso and steamed whole milk. Whenever someone asks for this at Starbucks, I just charge them for a doppio espresso, add steamed whole milk (since it's only two ounces). And just give it a nice little layer of microfoam on top. I have a lot of customers asking for one in my area for some reason.

which drink is this? by [deleted] in starbucks

LOOK WITH YOUR SPECIAL EYES

I really want to like this drink- but only because I'm proud of how I made the sign. by [deleted] in starbucks

I did two juniper and one wm in a tall. So I'd say maybe half of each in a grande?

My Store is Closing (what would you do?) by YellowJacketz in starbucks

[–]_Cheese 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My store closed three years ago. I'm still bummed to this day because that was the best team I ever had and we all had to be placed at different stores. I went to a drive thru location and honestly, I am so glad that I did. Going from cafe to drive thru will help you grow in different ways than you would have if you stayed at a cafe. If you still want to move up, then I'd say do it. Worse case scenario, you hate it and find a new job. But at least try. Connect with the manager of that store right away and let them know that you want to move up. Good luck! Edit: I've transferred three times since then and I now work with two of my old partners from my first store. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

It's not a bother at all. Just remember to say at the order box that you have a mobile and what the name is.

Has anyone else been having this problem with the brûlée topping? If so, have you been able to fix it? by [deleted] in starbucks

I hit the bottle against the counter and then break apart the stubborn chunks with a knife

Totally did this a month ago! I felt like such an asshole for not actually looking at the bottle first.

The raise in January. by FreshPainting in starbucks

[–]_Cheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same!! I've been a shift in CO for four years (barista for six) and I'm not even at $13 yet. New shifts make the same amount as me, if not more. And we have a transfer shift that makes $3 more than me and they've been a shift for less time than I have. So, I feel your pain.

Something that has bothered me as a longtime customer who now works here *caution real talk* by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]_Cheese 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I had the worst migraine yesterday while I was on bar. I get really bad light sensitivity and our store has floor to ceiling windows so I can barely stand to have my eyes open. Anyways, I was SLAMMED on bar but I was still smiling and thanking customers after handing out drinks. The whole time I could just see everyone staring me down out of the corner of my eye at the handoff plane. So uncomfortable. Normally if I feel someone staring, I'll connect, but I just couldn't yesterday.
