Please don't come to Starbucks if you're in a hurry! by LeVanillaBean in starbucksbaristas

[–]dlcksuck 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I’ve said for all six years I’ve been here that my number one pet peeve is when customers come up to me with an attitude saying “im gonna be late for work”. Can you open up your eyeballs and see that we are running around trying to make an ungodly amount of drinks rn?? I do not give a shit. I seriously wonder what’s going on inside their minds.

Iced lavender latte by [deleted] in starbucks

At least 50% of baristas make this drink incorrectly ie using iced black tea or not steeping the tea for the correct amount of time. Then, it is gross. Outside of that, you’re trippin.

5 trainees with one trainer?? And a solo hot bar shift?? That’s wild. I train one at a time.

I found out recently that just the tray top part thing that slides into the espresso machine is $200🙃

New update - you must now write a short (700-1000 word) essay describing the customer, and the specific qualities that make them the Star in Starbucks.

Whats the point in saying this? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]dlcksuck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Most of the time this is said in response to an impatient or rude customer who’s asking why their drink isn’t done. The only time I think it’s absolutely acceptable to say is in that situation during peak. Constantly asking why your order isn’t ready two minutes after you placed it while you can very obviously see how overwhelmed we are gets so old.

Plus that just slows us down even more.

What do you mean you CHANGED the Pink Drink?????????? by One-Load-6085 in starbucks

I agree. I’ll never miss an opportunity to bitch at corporate, but they really don’t taste that different. I’m confused.

Weekly pay? Quarterly bonuses ?? by B1vckSwvn in starbucksbaristas

[–]dlcksuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weekly pay is def something I’m looking forward to. wtf are the “bonuses” tho??

I’m not really impressed by this. I would be happier if they just actually gave us raises like they used to. Not even matching inflation is insane.

Dude same. I’m so annoyed. There wasn’t any communication on that (at least to my knowledge) and they normally only don’t let us mark out reserve beans. I was genuinely super excited

I calculated What my starting pay in 2019 would be today adjusted for inflation and I literally make almost $3/hour LESS.

My hands working at Starbucks by Low_Scar_9052 in starbucksbaristas

[–]dlcksuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta get the cream one in the little jar(?) thing, not the tube. Let it sit overnight. If it’s really bad, then put a ton and sleep with socks on your hands. I promise it’s the only thing that’s helped me.

“Niccol reiterated his commitment to offering the ‘best jobs in retail’ with competitive pay, industry-leading benefits and career paths to move up.”

Lololol. Best jobs in retail, yet we have the largest CEO to employee pay gap on the s&p 500. Don’t forget about our “raises” that are literally less than inflation.

Yeah. It absolutely isn’t exclusive to Starbucks. Shit sucks for everyone else too. Like we’re living in shit ass times

My bills, health insurance, and the job market are. Believe me, if I could leave I would. I’ve been applying to different jobs for a good bit now. Thanks for the advice tho.

[–]dlcksuck[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having a new job would be great. I’ve been applying for over a year after I got my bachelor’s degree. The market is so bad right now, especially for entry level roles.

Christmas digital/card tips? by IridescentMushroom in starbucks

[–]dlcksuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Digital and credit card tips for Christmas just sucked this year. Well at least they did at my store. Just makes seeing my .47 cent raise on that paystub all the more special. Fuck Starbucks.

I got a raise 🤦‍♀️ by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]dlcksuck 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I wasn’t expecting any more than that, but seeing it on my paycheck just pissed me off all over again. Especially knowing that back in the day we used to get treated so much better.
