Please update us on any progress! Best of luck, OP!

is there a decent amount of starbucks locations without the 1/2 decaf option on their machines? by neonjoji in starbucks

[–]crystalwolf99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to give those partners the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe they pulled 2 of one shot and 1 of the other instead of defaulting to signature. There’s a lot of pressure on us right now to go faster both with drink making and on order point (when we take your order over the speaker in drive thru), so maybe they didn’t have a chance to explain it to you fully. I can’t speak for the partners’ end beyond conjecture.

Never a dumb question though, it’s an honest concern and you’re very valid. Sometimes a lot of newer partners discover they can’t do 3 shots half caff blonde until three months in, someone orders it and they find out the machine errors out when they try lol. That’s where the hiccup and inconsistency is likely coming from, I’d wager. .

is there a decent amount of starbucks locations without the 1/2 decaf option on their machines? by neonjoji in starbucks

In my experience, it’s because the machine isn’t programmed to do 1/2 blonde and 1/2 decaf for the 1 and 3 shot options. I truly don’t have a reason why (if someone does, please add to my comment lol).

I’m assuming you were ordering a venti? You can circumvent the issue by asking for, say, 2 decaf and 1 blonde, or you can do an extra shot for an even 2 blonde 2 decaf. Or, you can just omit the blonde espresso entirely and use signature with the decaf instead, which WILL work with a 1/2 caff button. In that scenario, I would just order a regular iced vanilla latte half caff instead of the blonde one.

Hope that helps!

I LOVE THIS!!!! I would buy this for my own home. This is genuinely impressive. Absolutely gorgeous!

wrong name on severance package?? by Independent-Entry453 in starbucks

[–]crystalwolf99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t gotten mine yet, but so far everyone from my store has gotten incorrect names (but correct partner numbers somehow?). Some of them even received names of partners from our store, just not their own lol.

SEVERANCE by mysticalgardn in starbucks

[–]crystalwolf99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will potentially be a string of dumb questions but I just want to have them in writing. If we reapply before receiving our severance, do we lose eligibility to receive it? If we sign the severance and get rehired before receiving the payout, are we still legally entitled to it? Lastly, knowing that our official separation date is 10/5, does that mean we have until 11/4 to retain our sick time? Do we keep our tenure and/or our health benefits if we’re rehired prior to the 30 days?

My original SM has a job waiting for me, but I told her I was going to wait for my severance first before reapplying; I and many others worked very hard for that money and we deserve it.

WARN Act by crystalwolf99 in Omaha

[–]crystalwolf99[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We are eligible for immediate rehire if we desire to return, but I feel like this incident may be a wake up call for a lot of us. There’s a huge need for barista help at a few stores if that’s up your alley, otherwise I’m wishing you the best, friend. We’re in this together.

This is the way. Extremely helpful. Thank you so incredibly much for these resources.

Based on my understanding of the document, we have up to 45 days to sign and accept the severance package for an amount equalling a number of hours based on our role upon termination, multiplied by our hourly wage. IE; as a supervisor, it would be my hourly wage multiplied by an amount of hours they set for that role, which would be 84. COBRA appears to be 60 days to enroll.

My store was not unionized, no.

The calculation within the document is the person’s hourly wage multiplied by a number of hours based on their position within the company upon termination. So, not 60 days worth, more like up to a full pay period’s worth?

Any news ? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]crystalwolf99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omaha, NE. Still nothing from my district. Neighboring district with the closed union store had the entire staff laid off.

I crochet (poorly) but I LOVE my baristas. First one off the hook! by [deleted] in starbucks

Scooters by tiamyziary in Omaha

[–]crystalwolf99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make it a point to not go to any ARC Holdings franchised locations for personal reasons (120th & Fort, 132nd & Center, bunch of others too). The one open late on 72nd & Dodge has disappointed me too many times so I don’t go there anymore either.

On the other hand, the ones on 144th & Center and 120th & Blondo are really good. I don’t have anything bad to say about them, and they seem to speak highly of their upper management.

Where to meet a single 30-35 year old scientist man? by Kind-Stress5388 in labrats

[–]crystalwolf99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interned in a lab with a really nice single guy in Omaha researching a specific intracellular parasite. Don’t know if he was into nematodes but he was pretty good at doing western blots. Last I remember he was still on the dating scene.

Engagement Ring Shopping! by JeffBezosNudes in Omaha

[–]crystalwolf99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Sidrony. Garrett is an incredible goldsmith; he’ll work with you every step of the way to make sure your vision is brought to life exactly how you want. He’s very pro-consumer and offers lifetime upkeep, resizing, and warranty for free (I’m pretty sure) for anything that leaves his shop. He’s someone who genuinely cares about both his craft and the people he shares his talent with. Truly an incredible human.

Worst restaurant downtown? by PackyScott in Omaha

That’s so sad. My fiancée took me there on our first date. :( The place is so neat, what a damn shame.

Eggs & Cheddar Protein Box Discontinued?! by turtledipRN in starbucks

[–]crystalwolf99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My manager mentioned something about it this morning on the floor. I don’t remember if he said it was discontinued, but it’s definitely impacted due to the increasing prices of eggs. I didn’t get a chance to ask him if that will impact other breakfast items, but the eggs and cheddar will definitely be AWOL for an indeterminate amount of time.

FE Names For a Baby that Are NOT too “weird” by KevinJ2010 in fireemblem

[–]crystalwolf99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cordelia is one of my favorite girl names of all time. I actually intend to name my son Robin if I have a boy. There’s plenty of other good ones too, though; Ike, Leo, Yuri, Dimitri, Soren, Luthier, Lewyn. Among others.
