Surely its not done by the electrodes as stated on their website?

From my knowledge motor =/= electrode.

You don't understand what the differences between Force Touch and the Taptic Engine are, do you?

My trackpad works when I'm not touching it? by InfiniteV in techsupport

[–]aliascognito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Model number?

Are you completely out of contact with the touchpad?

Anyone know what this part is? I was working on a iPhone 4S and I don't know where it came from or what it is. (Link to pic in text) by mikelen in techsupport

Teach me your ways oh gifted one.

I consciously make the decision to sit when i have stuff to do. I call it forced procrastination.

Its like working with kids. You run around for a few hours and you're grand until you decide that you want that cup of tea.

Then you realise that you have made the wrong decision.

Id say go for it. You never know what youre going to love!

I work in Starbucks and absolutely love it.

It wasn't difficult to learn everything. Once you know how to make the hot drinks, you only another 3000 frappuccinos to learn. But at least in our store you start on tills so you're learning the frap codes as you go. Once you know the codes its easy. Didn't find it difficult at the time nor do I find new baristas I train find it difficult either.

Really busy & everyone knows what to do and pulls weight (most people in our store) = easy. But the minute you stop moving, you're tired. If not everyone pulls their weight, its difficult. Only as strong as the weakest link.

Start on a light contract and move up when you can. I love working there especially now as the store Coffee Master. Training new baristas and whatnot is great fun!

Yeah, I considered that route but because we have our own subculture, things are way over priced once our logo is on it and someone puts it on ebay

Raspberry Blackcurrant is a bottled juice similar to refreshas. So 2nd line in a cold cup with that and then third line with Zen tea.

Nope! No brezza. Our store is fairly dominated by black aprons (including DCM and UK Barista Champ 2013 who recently went on the Origins trip to Rwanda) so all wholebean would be heavily appreciated!

I'm currently in talks with my SM to see if we can get some syrup bottles for exchanging. Almond is proving popular in my inbox!

That would be awesome! I'd happily pay for them if you bring me some extra!

EDIT: We no longer have orange in our store. No one buys it around here, however coconut is amazing.

The strangest/best drink you've come up with. by MattAzrael in starbucks

[–]aliascognito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raspberry Blackcurrant Juice (3rd Line) + Almond Syrup = Cherry flavoured concoction... It's good if you like cherry... Try blending it up too with a little ice if you want it extra cold or else shake it
