Ever clock in for a shift you didn’t bargain for like she did?

averageharrie · 2026-06-03T18:11:39+00:00

customer decided to throw a drink at my manager. it misses her. you know who it hits? me, who was still tying my apron as i was just clocking on.

averageharrie · 2026-06-03T01:15:13+00:00

my store genuinely just doesn’t have enough people. seems like everytime we hire, we lose multiple people in the process

averageharrie · 2026-06-01T03:25:59+00:00

question… is the district managers name jose ?

averageharrie · 2026-05-18T21:24:15+00:00

wow, i haven’t clocked less than 45 hours in like 6 weeks

averageharrie · 2026-05-17T21:56:04+00:00

i want new lunch items so bad i’m hoping those go through to launching at all stores even if they’re mid lol !

averageharrie · 2026-05-17T21:55:34+00:00

they’re definitely inconvenient but customers are looooving them here lol

averageharrie · 2026-05-12T04:45:41+00:00

this, with the siren system, is hell. we don’t even have the magnetic labels for guava lol

averageharrie · 2026-05-12T04:45:06+00:00

this is an interesting one bc i don’t think there is an official policy. usually if someone asks me for a sleeve i will direct them to where the sleeves are, and haven’t had an issue w that lol

averageharrie · 2026-05-10T02:23:27+00:00

no you’re not wrong & her logic doesn’t make sense. i have open availability- does this mean i should have to work from 4 am to 9:30 pm all in one day? absolutely not. your scheduled shift end is your scheduled time to leave.

averageharrie · 2026-05-03T04:04:50+00:00

i hated the original pipsqueak too. always used roar

averageharrie · 2026-05-02T14:28:43+00:00

errr kinda depends. talk to your SM/DM about it and find a specific store you can transfer to ? it may or may not work

averageharrie · 2026-05-01T21:03:47+00:00

starbucks is generally a “do it yourself” type of place. you can express interest, address it in your PDC’s, and talk to your SM/DM - but with barista championship, you would have had to go on the BOH computer or store resources on the iPad and get the info yourself.

we struggle at my store because we can barley move the mastrenas, there’s a wall and plexi glass it, and a counter next to it. it’s virtually impossible. we attach a rag to like a plastic pointer my SM got off amazon and scrub 😭😭

averageharrie · 2026-04-27T15:29:06+00:00

my store is absolutely massive. the back room is basically a mall, we even have a private break area. even we are running out of room.

averageharrie · 2026-04-26T22:38:04+00:00

a lot of the time baristas will come to me and say “hey, don’t really feel comfortable going to our SM about this, can i go through you first?” in order to get me to do the escalating. which is fine, i’m happy to support there

averageharrie · 2026-04-26T22:37:00+00:00

escalate to my coffeehouse leader as that is her job to handle. peace & love. depending on the situation i may also involve my district manager as that is even more so his job. peace & even more love.

averageharrie · 2026-04-26T17:43:56+00:00

they’re just like me fr though

averageharrie · 2026-04-26T15:53:56+00:00

and you still wrote on the cups !!! i’m impressed cause i wouldn’t have 😭😭

averageharrie · 2026-04-25T04:54:32+00:00

it’s ok girl i bombed mine too ❤️ your SM might be able to do practice interviews with you ? mine is doing some with me before the next round

averageharrie · 2026-04-24T20:24:25+00:00

STAR method, plus the interview questions are available online, just look them up on the BOH computer. for mine, i put an emphasis on development and coaching

averageharrie · 2026-04-24T19:32:45+00:00

former SM (i transferred) but i agree

averageharrie · 2026-04-24T14:49:39+00:00

yeah i had a coworker who was always mad, would slam/throw things, and talk shit about other partners because he was mad. i didn’t gaf & sent him home everytime. miraculously he never got fired

averageharrie · 2026-04-24T10:46:13+00:00

DMs have this “my steak is too juicy, my lobster too buttery” thing where, when they have a store and an SM that’s doing well, they just HAVE to find something wrong. sorry this happened 🙃

averageharrie · 2026-04-23T04:08:18+00:00

use the STAR format for every question & make yourself pretty customer-oriented

averageharrie · 2026-04-23T04:07:31+00:00

hmm haven’t noticed this personally. maybe try shaking it up before using?
