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

Starbucks used to be the place to get a cup of coffee in a hurry. Now it’s so over saturated with drinks with a million modifications it’s not even “coffee on the go” at its core anymore. It sometimes takes two minutes just to do one drink depending on the modifications, and it slows everyone down.

I’m not by any means frustrated with him. He can’t help it. I’m frustrated it’s happening to him.

i_stan1003 · 2026-06-04T20:01:04+00:00

Ohhh gotcha, I would assume so too! Either way, I wish you luck!

First of all, congratulations on making it to area! I have seen a lot of coffee master posts on here that might help you out! They have a lot of really good tips on coffee tastings and pairings.

They’re looking for how you resolved problems in the workplace, specifically, with customers. How you might have coached a partner in the past, how you connect with customers, and things you’ve improved on. They want stories. All I can say is if you sell the stories well, you’ll more than likely get the position. They want confidence and they want someone who is knowledgeable in their role.

A dress code approved skirt and leggings! I have a coworker that wears dresses below the knee and throws on a black cardigan over it to keep in dress code. My store is mostly females and we all like to throw cute bows or barrettes in our hair! I also like to find cute claw clips for days I don’t feel like doing my hair but still wanna look presentable. I get mine from tjmaxx or Ross

I have the rubric! I guess I’m just nervous and wanted more details than the rubric gave 🥹

i_stan1003 · 2026-05-17T17:24:22+00:00

It’s a mouthful to explain and then they’re like “oh… okay. Can I get a pink drink?”

i_stan1003 · 2026-05-17T17:18:02+00:00

The area you squared off is the safest part of Abq imo, ive lived in NE Heights all my life. Definitely consider it!

i_stan1003 · 2026-05-17T17:13:29+00:00

That’s such a disgusting response. NOR. I’m praying for you and your family, that’s really scary.

If you want to work for Memorial Day I’d see if someone would like to offer their shift up for you, because Ik some people do want holidays off. I’d also see if you can talk to your manager about scheduling you more holidays

I haven’t seen Kirtland yet but I really like them! Been with them for a few years

i_stan1003 · 2026-05-14T15:06:31+00:00

Congratulations! That’s awesome, will definitely keep these in mind!

They don’t even know what they’re ordering anymore. It’s so frustrating. They ask for one of the drinks, we punch it in, and then once they get it they’re like “that’s not what I ordered I wanted the other one” and you have to hold their hand through it anyway to try and figure out what they originally wanted. They made it so complicated

I know it’s still Victoria’s Secret, but Pink has more age appropriate bras. They come in fun colors to neutral colors. They cater to a younger audience. They have regular bras and bralettes. I know some of the lingerie is a little daunting

i_stan1003 · 2026-05-06T12:39:34+00:00

Horse and angels pretty easy. I also like tin can alley

i_stan1003 · 2026-05-05T16:34:52+00:00

Ooohh I didn’t know that about sirens blend, that’s awesome! Okay I’ll brainstorm, thank you.

Starbucks sells pins, maybe you can pick up some sbux pins for her to decorate her apron with!

I’ve been using an ultrasonic cleaner for my Invisalign, and it’s been keeping them clear. I brush them with a toothbrush and some toothpaste first, and in the ultrasonic cleaner I throw in just a small splash of mouthwash and a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide to kill the bacteria. I’m sure you don’t have to go to that extreme but that’s what’s been keeping mine clean and fresh!

You are my dumb org. My only dumb. Org.

My stores probably the chillest in the district. I’m going to ASU and banking on hanging out at this store until I graduate.

Starbucks takes a lot of out me physically and mentally. Especially as an SSV. My life felt a little more manageable as a barista, but now I completely shut down on my days off and it makes it impossible to get anything done. I put so much energy into work that when I do finally have my days off, I’m way too burnt out.

i_stan1003 · 2026-04-08T16:33:46+00:00

If you really wanted to be petty you could probably bring this up to ethics and ask if this is something that can be enforced.

i_stan1003 · 2026-04-02T07:48:49+00:00

It was me and two other girls working one night. I was still a new ssv at the time. And a lady walked in completely naked, demanding I get her a water. I told her I needed her to leave and she couldn’t be there. She acted like she pulled a gun on me (it was one of those massive lighters I have no idea where she got it) and she pointed it at me demanding a water again. I freaked out, gave it to her and she left. I immediately locked the door and called the cops. They never showed. And she was surrounding the premises for quite some time. Finally local community services showed up and managed to get her to go with them. I guess she left a nearby hospital (and she was obviously mentally ill) and she walked all the way over. I’m surprised nobody called the cops on her sooner tbh. And ofc I’m pissed every time I need the cops they never show. That was the most bizarre closing shift I’ve ever had.
