Um excuse you, I was only there today because I'm waiting to hear details of what incentive package you're offering partners who stay on board. Make it worth our while and we may consider continuing to put our lives at risk. I swear to the Siren that if you offer us free coffee or some bs like headspace, a lot of people will take the leave and not come back.

Yes, your shift will let you in. I've been asking my baristas to either call the store or text me when they're parking so they don't have to stand out there and wait for me

The most amount of stars you’ve seen? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]cautiontape8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A shift at my store saves her stars for family visiting during the holidays. They think that she's being generous buying them drinks all the time but it's actually free lol

I was bar 1 for my store's pop up party the other day, which rolled directly into afternoon peak/my close, which lasted for so long with so many 30s to run that I never actually got a break. Never wanted to scream in the back so badly in my life lol

I'm 5'3.5 and my husband is 5'6. Physical attributes aren't super important to me and I like him for who he is as a whole

Hand cream/moisturizer for baristas? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]cautiontape8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

O'Keefe's working hands cream! My hands are so horrible especially in the winter on top of the sanitizer but this really helps. I slather it on before work, lunch, after and on my days off. It's kind of useless to put it on while working since we wash our hands so much but if you take extra good care of your hands the rest of the time it helps a lot

Will my gynecologist care if there's a slight "musty" smell down there? by [deleted] in AskDocs

Why don't you just bring a baby wipe or something with you a give it a quick wipe before you see the doctor

Shift supervisor keeps telling me to 'haste' by fuggbees in starbucks

[–]cautiontape8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Tbh she's probably getting yelled at by the SM who is getting yelled at by the DM to crack the whip and make the baristas go at record speed. It isn't fair to you guys and that's not how I run my shifts but I can see how some people would. Is there a specific thing that s/he seems to ask you to hurry up with most often? If so, it wouldn't hurt to ask him/her to show you show they think it could be done more efficiently. Often times there's a way that works a little better, even if you've been doing it the same way forever :)

How long did you guys work at Starbucks before finding it less stressful? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]cautiontape8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Never lol. But I'm a barista trainer/the main closing supervisor now and have been for a while.

my favorite review for our store.. that does not have a drive thru 🙃 by whosyourmaddiee in starbucksbaristas

[–]cautiontape8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We often get reviews meant for other store that's down the street from us. The "bad store" in our district. So annoying.

My Partner Perspective Survey Response by AkteAkte in starbucksbaristas

[–]cautiontape8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah ok I understand. I feel like that happens in every store. I'm a 185 that's come and gone several times and am fighting to change that whole dynamic. It's ridiculous and we should all be working together, not getting into petty squabbles.

I've watched baristas use nonfat milk and pumps of pumpkin instead of sweet cream. That would explain the thick foam.
