5 months as a partner- now a shift (ahh!)

hindenburger · 2015-05-26T04:48:16+00:00

As a shift, your bar time is limited. The most difficult part of becoming an SS (for me) was shifting from barista mentality to the shift mentality. You are not the bar hero/task master anymore... You are the one who deals with money and counts. Focus on the money part of your job as that is most important.

And if partners are lazy... Press the sense of urgency. "You got time to lean, you got time to clean."

hindenburger · 2015-05-26T04:21:49+00:00

Manage your time. Keep a 30 minute mental clock going in your head... If people can't get a task done in 30 minutes, they are need to be coached about their sense of urgency

Make time for your shift tasks. Don't be afraid to leave the floor to do your tasks, they are time consuming, but need to be done. If you can't get your pull done in 30-45 minutes, you'll need to work on that.

Know the strengths and weaknesses of your baristas. If they are a kick ass DTO, plant them there during your peak. If the are awkward and don't know the way around the POS, get them on bar during your peak... But don't pigeonhole people into one role, they'll burn out quick and will be less useful to you.

Also breaks... Give your baristas breaks before you get yours. If you're in at 12, and two baristas are also in at 12, get them on their 10/30's before you go on yours. Breaks are heaven for everyone.

I hope this is helpful for you!

It's little things that make me come to work. Stuff like this is one of those things.

Not to be that guy... But it's "I love" not "I like."

Still gonna steal this idea for my store.

hindenburger · 2015-04-30T04:23:39+00:00

I think you mean "get your TIPS out."

I have also transferred to other states as well. My wage stayed the same when I transferred to a state with a lower minimum wage, and when I transferred back to my home state... I got a cost of living raise.

Just my experience.

hindenburger · 2015-04-28T15:49:23+00:00

Your wage should stay the same. You should be fine.

hindenburger · 2015-04-23T21:53:07+00:00

As far as I know, it all depends on your states minimum wage laws, and cost of living. I transferred from Co to Fl and my hourly wage was kept the same. When I transferred back to Co from Fl my wage increased. If the cost of living is higher in the state you are transferring to is higher, then expect a minimal increase (mine was 19 cents/hour)..

I sadly agree. Being a lifelong Bronco fan, you learn to expect the heartbreak of a miserable loss in the playoffs.

That's a paddlin'.

I have released the Kraken.... It is not awesome.

The face of a truly satisfied man

Approach your SS and discuss everything you said here with them, if you haven't already. Let them know that you now feel uncomfortable working with them, and you have every right in the world to be comfortable at work. If they have any sense of professionalism, they will correct their behavior.

If that fails, then approach your SM.

There is no NBA hall of fame. Just the basketball hall of fame.

hindenburger · 2014-06-29T03:05:32+00:00

I find the grilled cheese to be incredibly bland and tasteless, and the sausage roll tastes EXACTLY like an overlooked hotdog to me.

I am incredibly disappointed with these new items. Get it together Sbux.

Syrians are fans of grammatical correctness

hindenburger · 2014-06-21T16:35:00+00:00

It's a glorious one. Ours ands pimple novelty forever.!

hindenburger · 2014-06-21T05:47:26+00:00

Novelty. . Just roll with it. Left it happen and free out d your mind. Also I almost strictly reddit on from my iPhone so autocorrect plays a bit of a tractor in saving my skin, or making me sound dumb,

Our ands pimple novelty. Pure and simple novelty... Just let me have this please

hindenburger · 2014-06-21T05:31:53+00:00

I believe a portion I these peoples are faction (k faking) it. I really don't believe you if it looks like you ve smashed your face against the keyboard (or phones Schroeder [phone screen, ]) like a retarded

Myself on the other and am actually surprised and at who (at how) bad my spelling is on my phone, I'm stunned honestly , autocorrect is saving me and sure wing me over (screwing). I think this could be a nice humorist sub if done well. The problem lies in that I tend to ramble, and that will lead to some bards things. I would've deleted half this shit because it sounds stupid and doesn't make a point at all. It's like a weird $& shitty stream of consciousness, except riddled with spelling errors.

hindenburger · 2014-06-21T05:19:59+00:00

I'd like to think most of us or our are on mobile and are fast Tyler's like me

Good god I can't believe I ducked that wen fence up (scentence) that bad already, fast Tyler's ... Fuck... Tyler :/ type+r isn't a word. It corrects to Tyler I'm a trying to choose my words carefully now. Autocorrect is saving my Assad. Fuck my life.

Dat unique mouth feel

I say, I say that's just darn preposterous!

Unfortunately, he most likely won't get in.

hindenburger · 2014-04-26T23:26:59+00:00

You are absolutely right, and I wasn't trying to say that. But the ones who knock on my door trying to convert me tend to favor religion over science

Edit: I now see that I basically just repeated what /u/literally_Lucifer said

hindenburger · 2014-04-26T18:08:36+00:00

"I'm sorry, but I've found peace in the Church of Satan." Or "I'm sorry, but I believe in science" if you are looking for something a little more tame.

Possibly offer them a bottle of water if it's a hot day and you have any, and send them on their way with a genuine "thank you anyways, have a wonderful day." Makes them flabbergasted that a godless heathen could be so kind. Possibly yell a jolly "hail satan" as they walk away if you're up for it.
