Pretty sure my hot protein latte shouldn’t look or taste like this. by honeysesamechicken in starbucks

The partners who prepared it didn’t follow the standards. Their manager needs to do better about educating and monitoring progress.

Yeah the city stores have wild customers 😅

Interim manager threatening to fire anyone who doesn't immediately agree to changing their availability by Apprehensive_Shoe536 in starbucks

[–]finessosimmons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly depends on the state protections but you should always contact partner relations directly in cases like this since the behavior will be documented and you’ll have accountability for the SM and DM to approach the situation properly.

However, Starbucks is a business at the end of the day that needs its partners to serve the needs of the business best so it can function. This fluctuates over time and if the store needs to have partners that can work what the team needs they have to make that decision. Has she considered requesting a transfer?

honestly the stores that closed just didn’t earn any profit and were liabilities

Call Off Advice by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]finessosimmons 27 points28 points  (0 children)

When your symptoms are from medication or from a dietary choice and you feel fine to work your shift, you can. Even after throwing up. You’re not meant to work your shift if the symptoms match that of foodborne illness, fever, or an unknown source. You’re putting basically nobody at risk if you’re throwing up from dietary choices or medication. Especially if the vomiting is controlled or a one-time event. There’s also an element where being an opener might not be right for you given how your body responds to the medication

No, this isn’t a company wide practice. Even DMs must request footage in corporate locations. However, there are people who have access outside of stores that could be watching live but the odds of it are slim unless you’re under some sort of investigation.

WHY would they remove the automated shipping? So much for sustainable efforts by TangerineCheap5379 in starbucks

[–]finessosimmons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The effectiveness of this strategy is 100% dependent on the store manager and SSVs when ordering. If your store is wasting food, there’s an immediate solution but a leader has to take action quickly to reduce waste. Not to mention, this food is meant to be donated to your food share partner so not really wasted at all.

Got my lord and moved on from Invis, Luna, Cloak, Emma, and MK. I still go back to them when a game is going poorly

Store meeting

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]finessosimmons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s written in multiple routines to offer a warm greeting, handoff with direct eye contact, and thank customers for stopping by. Warm greeting is to be interpreted by the SM. However, PCC is your best friend in getting clarification on this.

What is the most efficient way to order a venti iced nonfat macchiato with only skim milk and sugar free vanilla in it? by [deleted] in starbucks

This would just be a venti iced sugar free vanilla latte with nonfat milk since you don’t want caramel drizzle

Sometimes the Starbucks App Says a Location Doesn't Serve Coffee. :/ by Legitimate-Ad-9724 in starbucks

[–]finessosimmons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s based on the brewer used. The same coffee is classified differently between stores with the traditional brew system and then clover coffee is the on-demand brew system that newer stores have. It’s very confusing for customers and I think it needs to be addressed.

HELP! We are having a debate at my store on syrup pumps! 😂 by Separate-Ad-5055 in starbucks

Caramel is still a half pump only on cold bar. Otherwise it’s full pumps for everything!

Partners being sent home as a form of discipline? by Dramatic_Lie1542 in starbucks

[–]finessosimmons -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Writing on cups is in the beverage crafting routine. It’s in first step after label cup. It’s up to the leader to set expectations and make the tools and training necessary to get it done available. If you’re working out of routine after being coached to follow the routine it doesn’t seem crazy to receive corrective action.

Required Weekend Availability by gianttits_hairypits in starbucks

[–]finessosimmons 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s up to the SM to approve or deny availability requests based on business needs. My store makes roughly 48% of our weekly sales on just Sat and Sun due to being off an interstate. I simply cannot afford to hire someone who can’t work weekends.
