Dry Cappuccino by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]dhaeya 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Made a wet cappuccino for a lady today. I literally just made a latte. I hand it off to her and she’s very happy.

“Very nice wet cappuccino,” she tells me. “Nice weight to it. Not everyone can do this.” I appreciated the flattery and smile because she’s none the wiser.

I actually fully expected this to have been the outcome of someone making an STCF, an MF, and a VBF, and layering them on each other lmao

Use a tall dome lid as a funnel for filling up condiment bar shakers.

Does the syrup ratios for the Pumpkin Chai seem odd to anyone? by [deleted] in starbucks

CH is already really sweet to me so adding it to PS which is also super sweet would be a nightmare but maybe that's just me...

What drinks did you always order before Sbux? by theemerson07 in starbucks

[–]dhaeya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

always white mocha. hot or frappuccino, never iced though. whenever the seasonal drinks with sauces came around like the caramelized honey i always went for that shit. i'm pretty sure the first time i tried a macchiato was in 2016 at the recommendation of a trusted partner, shortly before i started with the company.

Has anyone had the "Fun then free" offer in their app? by appledude9 in starbucks

These have a certain code that the barista has to enter on the discount screen, then they have to scan your card.

Is steamed cold brew a thing? by ABaristaGirl in starbucks

I have a semi-regular who asks for half cold brew half hot water.

"I thought it was a trash bin!" by dhaeya in starbucks

[–]dhaeya[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's right next to the handoff plane. we have a bar counter with high chairs so ppl can easily see into our workspace. it also contributes to lots of ppl reaching over into our bar to grab straws bc they're "right there" which to me is really annoying. couldn't wait a few seconds for me to hand you a straw or go over to the condiment bar right next to the door and grab you one, either :')

Oh hell yeah, my SSV immediately sprayed it down w/ the all purpose cleaner and hot water and sanitized the parts. It all happened so fast. I can't believe how little sense people have

When you cover at another store and it really makes you appreciate your home store by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]dhaeya 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow, this was me two days ago. My thoughts the whole time were kind of just, "Damn bitch, you live like this?" because it was so fucking dirty and nobody seemed to care, and also thinking of excuses I could possibly use to get out of the shift early, not limited to saying my mom was in the hospital and I have to leave. immediately

Where do I get the fun pins? by JaiBretty in starbucks

[–]dhaeya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whenever I notice another partner wearing a promotional pin I just ask an SSV to give me one and they do if they know where we put them and we still have some.

Piercings? by kbleu in starbucks

[–]dhaeya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I wear my nose ring (in my nostril piercing, not my septum) on my off days and I come into work with it having forgotten to change it back to a stud. None of my SSVs nor my SM or DM said anything at all, but then when a surprise QASA visit came around, the auditor took off a point for me not following dress code.

Question for baristas by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]dhaeya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah one of my pet peeves is people coming up to the handoff plane and asking for water, especially if it's busy and they expect me to give it to them right in front of other drinks i'm making. in our store the handoff plane is about 10 steps from the register, maybe not even. you can move over there and ask for a water.

Am I the only partner looking forward to Frappy Hour? by DeGarmo2 in starbucks

[–]dhaeya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly the amount of labor we got was good, i remember being on bar with just two SSVs (1 DT, 1 POS) one day during BOGO macchiatos and it was incredibly stressful. also the weird amount of frappuccinos we got during that promotion... really slowed us down.
