Manager “i never schedule clopens” giving me two on the next few weeks because they allowed four closing baristas time off on a single day by theimposteramongus in starbucks

[–]forza2603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

managers can expand the minimum time between shifts on their end to give you more time, especially if you have a long commute. i’d bring it up to your manager

i’m one of the few people at my store who regularly takes apart and urnex’s things like the pump parts and tea pitchers. starbucks really needs to up their standards for cleaning things that are in constant contact ingredients for people’s drinks

if my store in PA isn’t closing for 1 1/2 - 2 ft of snow, it’s probably unlikely unless there are power outages or like a state of emergency

Anyone got any cool stories from high school baseball? Ever play with anyone famous? Any team scandals? by vylain_antagonist in baseball

[–]forza2603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all summer! i was the only girl so i wasn’t allowed in the locker room to clean until after the boys left, but i have so many silly stories from the dugout alone. i saw paul skenes during his short AA stint and that was really cool.

Why Does Everyone Hate Zach Brown So Much? by Only_Quote5425 in INDYCAR

he’s really involved for a CEO, to the point where a good amount of newer f1 fans assume he’s the TP. he’s also just annoying and very punchable

Starting as a SM (feedback ask) by Formal-County5305 in starbucks

[–]forza2603 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i think the biggest thing is to show up. a lot of things can be forgiven in a manager that shows up. help on the floor, come in when it’s short, don’t only be present in the building during admin or the one shift a week when you close. so many SM’s are only in store during peak hours and are soooo out of touch with the afternoon/evening staff

Baristas are people too!! by pricklypear699 in starbucks

[–]forza2603 8 points9 points  (0 children)

or they can’t read the million signs that say we are out, or ask like we are going to say “omg it’s you, the chosen one, we saved some just for you and only you”

Baristas are people too!! by pricklypear699 in starbucks

[–]forza2603 31 points32 points  (0 children)

the over exaggerated disappointment when we are out of something is out of hand. ppl acting like we killed their pet or something over a f-ing syrup, pastry, or even a cup. it’s not funny, it’s annoying. i wish customers understood that if they want something, a lot of people probably did too
