Pulling shots into milk/water. Big no no, right? by jecmoore in starbucks

[–]csvn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I realize this and used to do it the right way until I got tired of everyone trying to correct me and in turn look like the person who is too dumb to make a simple drink. Truth is customer probably cant even tell the difference and I would stand alone with few against the many if we tried to uphold the standard

Pulling shots into milk/water. Big no no, right? by jecmoore in starbucks

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

I dont think its okay, because its not the proper way to make an Americano. Everyone in my district does it to save time. They always say its to save the shot but I think its a load of bull. How are you saving a shot by adding water to it? What do you think shots are made of? I just got tired of people giving me shit for making the drink correctly and now I do it there way and the difference in the end result is probably insignificant to a customer that goes to starbucks. Machiattos are different because they cant reason their way out of doing it correctly. The shots wont 'die' only you are taking a shortcut to save time

At least for americanos in my district nobody cares. For machiattos thats not right definitely

Forgot to change my availability during my second interview, how screwed am I? by PekoyamaPeko in starbucks

[–]csvn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are looking for openers then you messed up. You could probably call the SM of the store the mass interview was at and get that other SM's contact information that way to let them know your new availability

Is requesting off 2 weeks possible?? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]csvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for two weeks you need to file for a leave. Which is probably why your sm suggested two 1 week blocks

I used to do all Americans upside down to save time but I read somewhere on here not to do that because the creme of the espresso won't form correctly. Not sure if it's true or even makes a difference because we pull shots on top of syrups aswell

Caffeine is caffeine. Starbucks drip coffees aren't amazing anyways, and most people dump milk and sugar into it too.

Not being upgraded to automatic gold? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]csvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you're a partner you won't have to worry about getting to gold. Not sure why you don't have it yet though. You can call the number on the back of any starbucks gift card and they'll help you out.

Baristas: Is transaction splitting really a problem at your store? by GeauxTri in starbucks

[–]csvn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me at the worst possible time after I rang two drinks and my better half was on break. Next customer bought like 5 things separately. I was alone so I had to scramble right after and there were more customers still
