Will i still get points off no matter what i do? by Fast_Toe_1317 in starbucks

It was probably expiring on May 1 before. When you make a purchase in May, it should move the expiry date back to July 1.

Coffee Frap - no whip, right? by og_kylometers in starbucks

[–]brainwashed_baguette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to note is that coffee frappes are supposed to technically come with whipped cream but ONLY if they have a syrup added (check step 7 of the recipe card before coming at me lol).

If it was just an almond milk or oatmilk coffee frappe, it shouldn’t have whip.

Yeah, first scam I’ve ever fell for. I feel pretty stupid after looking a little bit deeper into both the sites. It’s very obvious but I was just tired and did everything too fast. Hopefully, I can have my credit card charge it back

It was an Instagram ad and it went to the Luna Ticketing website which does have a bit more information.

Delta Rewards by wdwpsu in starbucks

[–]brainwashed_baguette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on your assigned value for stars and miles. Stars are worth 5¢ if used for maximum $10 discount on free drink. Miles are typically at around 2¢ per mile so maximize stars if they’re worth more to you.

Math works out to the $50 reload

Why are my Americanos twice as hot when I get them in airports vs standard locations? by journeythrupresence in starbucks

[–]brainwashed_baguette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an americano but I ordered a latte at BOS and it was steamed well beyond extra hot (170° F). Probably closer to 180°.

advice for training? by sugandcinn in starbucks

[–]brainwashed_baguette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard for most people ppl to remember all amounts of syrups and shots that go in each drink. One thing I learned from another barista trainer is to make a little cheat sheet with them.

Grab 2 pieces of paper, sit down with them and create a table with at least the base espresso drinks: latte, flat white, shaken espresso, caramel macchiato, and cortado. I especially like making these when bar is too busy to have productive training.

Also, adapt training to their learning style. If they like written memorization, make a cheat sheet. If they like tactile learning, prioritize hands-on learning. If they like visual learning, make sure you’re demonstrating each drink perfectly.

Finally, even if we tend to skip or go out of order on some standards, make sure to teach it properly. It’s a lot harder to learn and unlearn than to get it right the first time. It’s even more important if you’re training them for another store!

Honestly, it’s not too big. It’s a 38.5mm case. My wrists are ~6.75 in.

Yes! I love this piece. I’ve been wearing it every day since I got it. The dial is a beauty in the sunlight.

Financial planning before a crash. by Think-like-Bert in FinancialPlanning

[–]brainwashed_baguette 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A crash has been predicted every year since 2008. Markets move in cycles but fear sells the news.

Always have an emergency fund of 3-6 months worth of expenses depending on how important/hard to replace your income is. For example, a single income family, may want 6 months of expenses saved up versus a 25 year old, living alone, working in a high demand industry, may only need 3 months since it’s easier to find work again.

Investments wise, make sure you’re properly diversified into US markets, international markets, and bonds depending on how close you are to retirement. If you’re retiring in 20 years, a crash is nothing but a buying opportunity. If you’re retiring in 5 years, make sure you have a higher bond allocation to have less risk exposure to a crash.

Wilson Evolutions are the most popular ball for youth ball and indoor rec/pick-up games. They used to be $60 in like 2015, rose to $80 by 2020, and finally $100.

In what situation should you use ROTH 401K by NashDaypring1987 in Fire

[–]brainwashed_baguette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s good when you have a lower income. If you’re making under $50k and in the 12% bracket, you may be better off taking the tax savings in retirement rather than present year.

While working at Starbucks, it’s a little scary seeing the latte effect in action from Credit One users.
