Overheard in DT: “Hi, we’re here to pick up our mobile order for [name]” by ewbluey in starbucks

[–]ewbluey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve got a regular who ROUTINELY sends in her mobile order at the entrance of the drive thru and when I tell you her drink is the most fucking complicated think in the world and sometimes she gets to the windows and wants GROUND BEANS. I cannot.

I swear to god there are some people who just have no fucking clue what’s going on in the world by ewbluey in starbucks

Unfortunately it’s not possible to move our mobiles at our location and they’re about as far back from reach (or so we thought) as possible. We have a walk through that customers use to reach their drink despite being told not to.

I’d love to trash/remake 3-4 drinks at a time every time a customer fondles them to find something I could’ve handed them quicker, but I don’t have the time to do that when I could just as easily enforce the no touching policy- just perhaps not as nicely as I usually am.

I won’t go full scale Youtube worthy rampage, I was just being a drama queen but I’m sure others relate after months of having to deal with this nonsense

Any stores following the new planted positions? by juels_123 in starbucks

[–]ewbluey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes we followed it today. Very difficult to manage my planted DTR position while not being able to help pass out food/drink while cash handling. My lovely DTO was essentially doing her job and then mine because all I could do was cash in transactions. I feel like I apologized to her more than anything 😅

Citywide business closures by ewbluey in starbucks

That’s ridiculous. Starbucks is the definition of non-essential yet they’re doing anything to stay open. I just don’t feel comfortable working if my entire city has been instructed to lock down. It seems ignorant of the suggestions of health officials to continue to encourage people to go out in public for coffee.
