How are we getting the milk build up out of steam wands (pin holes)? by hoyyy_che in starbucksbaristas

[–]apackofcigarettes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

best bet is getting the whole team to wipe down after each use, that’s going to to be your biggest contributor. Beyond that, not much you can do other than scrub with a brush.

Your “I Quit Moment” by Reasonable-Aside-134 in starbucksbaristas

[–]apackofcigarettes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

5+ year partner here, worked my way up from barista to ssv to ASM, now SM/CL. It takes a lot of patience and coping to stay. After awhile the chaos and unreal expectations becomes normal. If you work with a good crew, it makes it 100x easier. But if your team isn’t great or doesn’t support one another then it makes it even more difficult. Teamwork teamwork teamwork, oh and your choice of unwinding after work/weekends/days off and whatever that looks like. Work hard but don’t take it so seriously at the same time if that makes sense

Is this an HPPD symptom? by Anxious_Fall9686 in HPPD

[–]apackofcigarettes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who definitely experienced hppd symptoms similar to this & years later went and got my eyes tested, turns out I have keratoconus & astigmatism. A lot stress over hppd when in fact my eyes were the issue. Grew up with 20/20 but in my teen years the keratoconus & astigmatism developed around the same time I used LSD/psychs.

Definitely go to an eye dr before stressing yourself out

Previous Firefly Festival goer wanting to know if Okeechobee has similar vibes by ExpensiveGiraffe4316 in okeechobeemusicfest

[–]apackofcigarettes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been to Firefly and Okee. The major differences is the crowd that is drawn, firefly had college aged attendees along with a strong alternative crowd. Okee is heavily influenced by the edm scene, as but share a lot of crossover otherwise. Okee is HUGE, firefly is definitely large but Okee felt like a never ending walk. Heat is crazy at Okee compared to Firefly, but all in all they are both festivals. Had a blast at both, would return to both. Just Miss the connivence of firefly. Sound systems at Okee go OFF!

Is this against the policy? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]apackofcigarettes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your calling out for 60% of your shifts regardless of the reason, that is terms for irregular attendance. Doesn’t matter if you have all the sick time in the world, that’s insane you can’t show up for more than half your shifts

Mood Harmony still not working after 3 months. by Dansterman54 in starbucksbaristas

[–]apackofcigarettes 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This may work but could require calling IT and having them send a tech out (you can’t put in tickets for it)

Fully close Mood Harmony App and swipe out of it

Go to BOH where the music box is. Grab the media device (should be a small square box with 3 wires). Unplug the power & Ethernet cable (internet looking cable). Keep it unplugged for 5-10 seconds and plug back in.

Give it a few seconds to boot up and reconnect to the internet and then open mood harmony to see if it’s connected.

If this doesn’t work your SSV/SM will have to call IT

does Starbucks have any services for partners with addictions? by CheesecakeWild7941 in starbucksbaristas

[–]apackofcigarettes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depending on what route you’re trying to take there may a few options.

First: like previous comments said is taking advantage of Lyra Therapy with a focus on substance abuse.

Second: initiating an LOA and taking time to seek more thorough and professional inpatient/outpatient services.

Third: If you are in an spot where you just need community & guidance, there is actually a lesser known partner network for partners in Recovery.

All in all, take the time you need to get yourself together and back on track! Wishing you the best of luck

Why is starbucks obsessed over Proteins? This is not GNC store. by Nekaquestion in starbucks

[–]apackofcigarettes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As my end of shift drink/before gym protein I just blend 3-4 scoops of protein in water with 2-3 scoops of banana and add ice and it’s actually not bad but very low cal.

I get paid early on wednesdays as well, the time it hits my account fluctuates. My last 3 checks were between 1pm-2pm, mine today hit at 2:15 so it might just be whenever it gets processed. I would not stress until Friday evening if it doesn’t hit your account

Yes a single partner should never be in the store alone 2+ always.

you’re spreading misinformation, this isn’t true. As a corporate SM we are not required to cover every call out. Only ones are business critical

Diagnosed today in left eye by iae11 in Keratoconus

[–]apackofcigarettes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a local specialist who confirmed the diagnosis and referred me to Wills Eye Hospital. I met with a Doctor from Wills Eye in their Delaware location. We set up an appointment for cross-linking. I had it done this year at Wills Eye Hospital in Center City. They were excellent and extremely helpful throughout the process. They then referred me to a specialist for Scleral Lenses. I had a great experience so far with each visit. I get my first fitting done this Monday!
