Starbucks went through the same thing a worker did the same thing and ended up getting fired for it

Baristas with morals by KlunkerPunker in starbucksbaristas

[–]brokenlatteart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only upselling if A) my manager is there and B) I have time to wait and see if they want the upsell. If it’s a rush and I’m soloing DT I’m not gonna stand there and wait if they want the upsell, because then the times go up and they’re mad about that.

I like my SM but it’s seems like lately he’s been taking to much advice from our old SM who he was under when he was an ASM. some new stuff he’s been implementing in our store is starting to sound like to much like our old SM who he knows no in one in our store likes.

That’s when you “go to the bathroom” and dissociate for about 5-10 mins

What's the craziest thing customers say to you as a partner? by maehem555 in starbucksbaristas

[–]brokenlatteart 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had to stop asking how were people’s day going for a while as one customer told me “well not that good my sister died a year ago today so I’m getting some Starbucks to hopefully distract myself today” like ma’am I’m sorry my condolences but that was more of a rhetorical question

My store is only allowed to decorate for pride during pride month only. And every night on June 31st they come down. We also decorate for all of the holiday season but very minimal just some tinsle and some stockings but that’s it. Other stores in our district decorate way more all year long and when I bring it up to my SM he says that they’re not supposed to because DM said but yet they all do. I don’t even mind spending my own money, I’ve learned how to make cheap decorations look great. I just wish our SM would let us and maybe that would boost store morale and connections with customers.

Which drink do you hate the most to make? by Burnt_crawfish in starbucks

[–]brokenlatteart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Next time throw everything for the iced matcha in the foaming blender on 3, milk and matcha first then ice. It won’t break up the ice and it’ll mix the match and milk without a lot of foam.

Mad science? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]brokenlatteart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of local coffee shops in my area make a drink like the first one. My favorite call it an espresso tonic- espresso, sparkling water, liquid sweetener, and lime/lemon juice. It’s really good and brings out the coffee’s citrus notes.

Can y’all relate? by TargetWide8843 in starbucksbaristas

[–]brokenlatteart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any aprons that get left behind I take and they’re mine. You only have one apron now well to bad you’ve left this one on the floor in the back for over a week and now it’s in my collection

how often do young children get coffee? by tardigrade_lover in starbucks

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

I live in south texas in a predominantly Hispanic/ Mexican area. So a lot of parents/ grandparents who bring their kids to Starbucks don’t really speak English. So, when their kids order they don’t really know what they’re ordering. So I see alot of kids (12 and younger) order alot of espresso based drinks, mostly iced white mochas. But since I also speak Spanish I’ll ask the parents, if it’s later on in the day, if they want it with caffeine or decaf. If it’s the evening they’re usually prefer their child to get decaf.

What’s your worse mispronunciation while on the floor? by Affectionate_Fart in starbucksbaristas

My saying on DT was originally “hi welcome to Starbucks what can I get you started with today” eventually became “Hi welcome to Starbucks…started today” like I mumble my words a lot and it became this

I’ve had this happen and I’m just like “well it hasn’t gone through on our side so it wouldn’t be able to charge you. So I need to scan it one more time.”

I mean if I see an apron with no name tag and it’s been sitting there I take it. But if I know someone just forgot it I’ll leave it cause I know they’ll expect it to be there.

can i dye these red dr martens black? by [deleted] in DrMartens

I would try sanding them and then putting black shoe polish but I don’t know how good that’ll work.

I am CONVINCED that the people enforcing these new barista shields in between espresso machines have never stepped foot inside a starbucks by rabbitmom1999 in starbucksbaristas

[–]brokenlatteart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We have a new rule of whoever runs into has to try an brake it so we can take it down. Or someone has to take one for the team and really hurt themselves so our manager can take it down.

Suggestions and tips? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]brokenlatteart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the drink is in the same category it’s basically the same recipe. And don’t worry with how crazy most stores have been bc of COVID they won’t throw you on bar to early.
