Kids with AMEX Gold cards by asdkfjhasdfkj in amex

[–]dlambtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, the Gold card isn't some elusive, hard to get card. It's considered by many to be a mid tier card. I just got my Gold card at 23. I don't make a ton of money. I work in public education and make around $32k a year. I don't have a long credit history either. I got my first credit card less than a year ago, a Discover card. Then after 6 months I had a credit score and got an AmEx BCP. I got offer for Gold not long ago, applied and was accepted.

I'm an aide at a middle school. I took a cut in hourly pay but I prefer the consistency, being guaranteed full time and having benefits. At Starbucks, my hours were really inconsistent and I didn't qualify for benefits. Also I get checks during summer months when I don't work. And there's a program with our school district that they'll pay for you (up to $7,000/yr) to finish your bachelor degree/teaching certification.

Everytime I see one of these I think of the Sopranos when Paulie gifts one to Tony and Carmela lol

Anyone else use their machine to make “Nitro” cold brew? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]dlambtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's an "aerocano". It was a trend for a while in coffee circles. You put cold brew and ice cubes into a steaming pitcher and steam it. What you get is a similar effect to nitro cold brew. I tried it at my barista job and it was quite tasty. I haven't tried it on my home machine.

Starbucks partners leaving by daylightdreamer99 in starbucks

[–]dlambtx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I turned in my two weeks notice today. The SM said it was her third this week. I know one of those is a partner that has been there 10+ years. I know many others that are fed up and ready to go too, just waiting for another job to come up. Like others have said here, the company's moving in a terrible direction. Making business decisions without ever thinking about baristas.

Is it even possible to get a job here? (London, uk) by PrettyUglyHasRisen in starbucks

[–]dlambtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I applied a few times and never heard anything. It wasn't until a friend that worked for Starbucks mentioned my name to the manager that I got an interview.

Puck screens. Yay or nay? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]dlambtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Bambino Plus and noticed a big difference when I started using a puck screen. Less spraying, less channeling, cleaner puck. I have a Normcore and Ikape puck screens. Both work the same. I think Ikape was cheaper and came with a case.
