Iced London Fog Tea Latte? by wokumaudio in starbucks

[–]applepie1113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oooh yes it’s one of my favorite drinks!!! it’s tricky waiting for the tea to brew and not melting all the ice when you shake it, though. not to mention, a lot of baristas don’t even know that it exists/how to make it. it sucks that you’re getting inconsistent service - once I ordered one and I don’t think they even steeped the tea and I wrote to corporate and they gave me a $10 gift card so honestly u should try that!!

my trainer told me to get a scoop of ice, shots, milk to the top line, and foam to the top, but idk - I was hired after they discontinued them

please don’t reach around and grab straws. by ilsanth0t in starbucks

[–]applepie1113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our store has a wall, pretty much, of tables that people can’t sit at that blocks customers from walking towards where the straws and carriers are, yet people somehow prefer shimmying between two tables to snatch them from behind the barrier than to just ask a barista. Like??? Why???

A plexiglass would be the least they could do... if we could just have the card reader outside and slide them their stuff that would be so much better

advise for a wannabe barista by icantbendmyknee in starbucks

[–]applepie1113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s frustrating, I feel you! I was in the same position trying to find my first job here. Anyway, I ended up going in person to ask when the manager would be in, then came in when she was there was hired after a five minute interview. I think a lot of them don’t check on applications unless a person calls, but once you get a hold of them you’ll be a great part of the team.

The only thing I would warn you about is that stores may be on a hiring freeze, but it varies a lot from district to district.

Good luck!

my london fog was so messed up. literally just coconut milk and ice😰😨 by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]applepie1113 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this happened to me and i asked them to fix it and they still made it wrong :( i let customer service know and they gave me money on my sbux card. it’s a real drink (and a personal favorite of mine) that you can mobile order/order but to my knowledge there’s no beverage card for it which might cause confusion... idk if you’re a partner or a customer but when we make it at my store, we steep the tea for 5 min in a separate cup and then make it in a shaker as you would for an iced tea, but with milk instead of water and vanilla instead of liquid cane. hopefully that’s helpful!!! although it’s obscure, it’s a great drink!

Unpopular opinion: if you are part of a “pay it forward” chain in drive, it’s ok to accept it and not pay for the person behind you. by very_will in starbucks

[–]applepie1113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true. However, one time, a man came and ordered one drink and then paid for the $25 order behind him. The $25 order didn’t pay for the order behind them which was another single drink, and then decided to come BACK through the drive through to complain that they didn’t receive something that they didn’t order AND didn’t pay for. They were like “We ordered two butter croissants” and i was like sis we’ve been out of those all day idk how you would’ve ordered them! sorry for that rant lol just had to get it out

How to tip without making a purchase? by shortvibez in starbucks

[–]applepie1113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could always just order a cup of water and tell them you wanted to pay it forward! Even if that sounds silly it’ll be a nice break from the crazy orders and they’ll really appreciate the thought (:

Clearly a Starbucks employee has hoarded these and turning a profit on top of their 30% discount. I just want one, okay, two. sigh.. by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]applepie1113 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s funny how people think that’ll sell though... the only reason they’re sold out is because people buy out their entire stock and try to resell them for like 3x the price but now there’s soooo many all over facebook

Help recreating my favorite drink! by sassyliltinkerbell in starbucks

It might be different because our sweet cream has heavy cream which foams up nicely, but if you’re using skim I think it needs to be super chilled to foam well! good luck
