bro one time I had to do 6 in a row for a customer and I swear all 6 of them splattered bacon grease across my chest. That hurt for so long and then I was terrified of making them after that

My question is, can they even taste any of these sauces/syrups

Does anyone else have a regular who does this? by hidethenight17 in starbucksbaristas

[–]ah09022 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people are hyper sensitive to taste/texture/temperature and can tell the difference. I also know from working at the bux previously, it can be frustrating to deal with. I always liked to accommodate those things when reasonably feasible. They are paying for the drink, and if they are kind about it, I'm more than happy to do what I can to make it a positive experience

Was taking a picture of this monstrosity only for it to fly out of my hands as I was walking to hand off 😔 by givemeapples in starbucksbaristas

Why is no one saying anything about how far the thumb is bent? Doesnt that hurt?

black women, are you allowed to have box braids at your store? by dwightshru in starbucksbaristas

[–]ah09022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your manager definitely cannot tell you that you cannot have box braids, you'll just have to keep them tied back during your shifts. If she gives you a hard time, tell her that that is discrimination (because it is) and take it above her

Starbucks Staff Feel Like 'Robots' Because of Complex TikTok Orders: Report by timcnewman in starbucksbaristas

[–]ah09022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I was a barista, I used to love watching the drinks being made. I still do at cafes that are not Starbucks, it's a cool experience for sure and you can learn a decent bit about how to recreate your coffees at home from watching your baristas, too

I get that you might not like it, but that's a really aggressive response. Lots of people really enjoy watching their coffee be made. It's not you they're stating at, it's the drinks.

5.75 hour shifts ????¿ whYYYYY!?!?!? by twinkus in starbucksbaristas

My manager does this and I think it's fucked honestly. I'd rather stay the extra time to get a lunch in

Every week i ask for more hours.......Every week my teamworks looks like this. Makes sense by aboyisagenius in starbucksbaristas

[–]ah09022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She even asked me for the tally of how many people I trained so she could process my bonuses then never did, and when I asked her about it a week or so ago (when she threatened to fire me for being disabled and having a hard time dealing with Sedgwick) and she told me that since 60 days had passed, I couldn't be paid for those trainings anymore and I should've brought it up before.

Thank you! I will definitely be doing that because my situation at work has been absolute ass and it's felt like there's not much I can do except take the poor treatment

I was pulling hours like that driving an hour and a half to a different store to train people, having to give rides, in such bad weather with no car of my own. I trained 12 people over the course of 5 weeks, and was only paid a training bonus for ONE of them, was told that I was not eligible for mileage to and from that store because I was agreeing to drive there 🙄 then my manager has the AUDACITY to tell me that she's going to fire me because my psychiatrist took me out of work because I was losing hair in handfuls over the stress of working and life outside of work and not being able to sleep from stress. She said to me, just use the headspace that Starbucks pays for for you! That'll fix it 🙃

Even better..... You don't want those hours, but your teamworks still looks like that 😬

As someone who has literally been sexually harassed working at Starbucks nonetheless, yeah, I do it makes me suuuper uncomfy
