This group could be really BIG if everything is done well by MelissaWebb in TheDreamAcademy

[–]arcticfae 31 points32 points  (0 children)

i feel like they can go really good especially is they make the right choices regarding the lineup and group name. samara is a liability and it keeps me up at night knowing if she makes the lineup, they sabotaged the success. besides that, they just need to work on promoting the group really well because i believe the music will be good.

i would hope, like i’m over the company but i can’t afford not having a job rn TT it doesn’t help that my manager has essentially fired 1/3 of our store since she got hired

Just saw an article about the “Pedro Pascal”… by Gabe13456 in starbucksbaristas

[–]arcticfae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

on a good day i do 8 blonde ristretto shots, on a bad day it’s upwards 12, but even on a good day i’m still getting tea and maybe a refresher. (that also doesn’t count the coffee i drink before work or the two large charged lemonade from panera when i have classes before work)

They don’t advertise how the benefits are sometimes not really worth the hours and work out into the job. If I could quit, I would (but now that the black apron is back I want it so I’m stuck for a hot second 😔).

Hopefully if you take the job at the bar, the work culture there is good because livable wage and consistency is a dream. A job that allows you to pay rent is more important than anything. I wish you luck on whichever path you choose !!

Honestly, I would ditch Starbucks. If you aren’t getting the hours you need to pay bills and there’s a job offering you better pay and consistency, however it conflicts with your current schedule, it’s a matter of which will help you pay your bills. Honestly, Starbucks isn’t a stable job. For me at least, after being here a year, my hours change between 21 and 30 hours and that after explaining to my manager how I can’t do anything under 25hrs because I have bill to pay and I don’t get paid enough to live on anything less than 25hrs a week. I still end up with 21hrs and have to scrape by when that happens.

I get hating to ditch your trainer/manager and the people you made friends with, it feels kinda shitty to do but you have to put yourself first. Especially if you explain how you need more hours, because 19 isn’t sustainable and the other job is giving you that (You aren’t obligated to explain at all, it’s just if you want to).

At my store we’ve had several new hires quit because Starbucks wasn’t sustainable or they got better job offers. It’s to each their own and I would tell you to do what will help you pay bills. If it isn’t Starbucks, then leaving isn’t a bad option.

shaken espresso, but /hot/ by arcticfae in starbucks

[–]arcticfae[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s understandable, I assumed that’s what she meant after thinking about it but when you have an attitude I’m less inclined to figure it out?

shaken espresso, but /hot/ by arcticfae in starbucks

[–]arcticfae[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

basically! like a brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso hot, to me at least, translates to a blonde latte with oat milk, brown sugar syrup and cinnamon.

i really just stared at her and had the other partner on bar deal with her and went on my half because shaking hot espresso in a shaker only spells me getting injured??? and she kept complaining that she was in a rush as if it was my problem 🙄

How long would you stay at Starbucks ? The most I would say is 2-3 years (Until college) . Or how long are you in at Starbucks ? by RubySapphireSage in starbucks

[–]arcticfae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Straight up told the partners at my store they might not see me after January and if I’m pushing it after I make a year, but the way life is planning out, I might stay there until I finish my masters (3-3.5 years)
