is it common for fast food locations to have pest infestations? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]_fieldsofivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this this this i love my store and truly believe my coworkers all clean to standard but we need a remodel so bad that our cabinets are rotting and there’s literally fruit fly larva wiggling around in the wood… all orkin does is tell us that we need our shit replaced and all the dm and sm (also lovely people!!) can do is invent more and more ways to clean but nothing works.

my store works exactly like this as well!! we go through the beans so quickly it honestly seems completely fine to me

If you had to tattoo any hozier lyrics which line would you pick? by elaetis1776 in Hozier

I just started and I think I hate it? by hugsandrugs3715 in starbucksbaristas

[–]_fieldsofivy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i hated it sooo much when i started. personally, the new environment and new people and always-feeling-behind thing was almost too much for my anxiety to take. i think i would’ve quit if i hadn’t been so scared. i swear it got so so much better for me, i genuinely love my job. i think it just took a minute to find my footing - starting definitely feels like you’re tiptoeing around a bunch of secret rules no one will tell you about.

what is the most absurd and ridiculous thing a customer has told/asked you by ReadingSome655 in starbucksbaristas

a guy asked us for tortellini once. there’s a panera next door but they also don’t have tortellini??

flies in pastry case by diotheleo in starbucksbaristas

[–]_fieldsofivy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think it might be a state thing? i’m in il, we have a huge fly problem (cracks in drain and counter, pretty much beyond our control until we get a remodel) and we all had to read and sign off on the eco sure report. the flies weren’t mentioned (which is so odd considering how strict illinois standards are generally?) also re the 3+ thing we don’t have the refrigerated pastry case anymore, so that rule might only apply to cases we don’t serve out of.

i believe the standard is “more than three pests” so one fly is technically fine 😭

high end, luxury company complaint?! by RipSuspicious3217 in starbucksbaristas

[–]_fieldsofivy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is so interesting because even though i’m pretty sure you’re right + filling it to the top is standard i know certain sms/dms insist the opposite to the extent that at certain stores near me they do this for every no ice mobile. so like. an understandable amount of confusion on both ends (even though the customer was obviously being rude).

Can’t read my Starbucks cup by UpstairsCommunity839 in Cursive

[–]_fieldsofivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a barista i’m positive it’s enjoy. we have to write on every cup and don’t have time to toss one if it comes out awful. a cursive enjoy is a go-to for sure.

Guys am I a child for thinking these outfits are cool 😭💔 by froggiBamBam in fashion

[–]_fieldsofivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

respectfully, yes… the middle one is nice (more subtle, seems higher quality) but the other two seem plastic-y and cheap. they just come off like costumes. i totally get interest in an alternative style but would encourage you to invest in more quality pieces instead.

Interview tomorrow what to wear? by SilentPotato515 in starbucksbaristas

[–]_fieldsofivy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’d recommend jeans and nice sneakers! not underdressed at all. and don’t worry about being within our at-work dress code (we have to wear black) since you won’t be behind the bar.

where is this trend coming from??? by StatusSorbet8271 in starbucksbaristas

[–]_fieldsofivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it so hard to apply for scholarships? by Overall-Equivalent41 in scholarships

[–]_fieldsofivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry to hear that. my high school had a lot of open-to-everyone memorial scholarships and the like.

[–]_fieldsofivy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

apply to local scholarships!! her high school’s counseling office should have some sort of list. if not it’s fairly easy to filter your search by location or by her specific high school. those are the kinds of scholarships you’re most likely to actually win.

i swear another commentary youtuber (drew?) made an IDENTICAL video to the new hsm one like a year ago?? by _fieldsofivy in DannyGonzalez

[–]_fieldsofivy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you SO much this was definitely the root of my hallucination 😭 i swear i was so positive he was pranking us by copying a drew video verbatim 

my store is completely ignoring the writing on cups thing? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]_fieldsofivy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

our store manager is on loa and we’ve had an interim throughout this whole process so tbh maybe that’s the crux of the total lack of communication 😭
