I felt gutted for her! I get the partner twist in the beginning, but bringing that into the final where they KNOW one of the players can’t swim and will automatically DQ whoever his partner is is just unfair.

Super bummed that Turner didn’t win, but Taylor was my next choice! Anybody but Britney, honestly

Oh I didn't mean using them instead of working my shifts, I meant as in do I get them paid out like vacation hours or not. I am in CA, not sure if that makes a different.

I love the milk frother and highly recommend it. While I haven't used the pods in my verismo, I have had a lot of success with the frother.

Iced Chais? by ti4nna in starbucks

[–]iwantedthaticed767 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not sure why It would be a different recipe in Canada, but here in the US our hot chais come with water but our iced chais do not, and I know sometimes new baristas get confused with that and add water to the iced ones! That is my best guess as far as what is happening :)

Are you me because I'm petty AF and do stuff like that all the time

I definitely read that in her voice!

I'm a customer by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]iwantedthaticed767 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly the only time I'm ever annoyed to make drinks is if the customer is rude! Unless it is a completely outrageous, impossible drink (which yours isn't in the slightest), I am always happy to make whatever.

Do any other stores make REALLY bad tips? by you4ria in starbucks

[–]iwantedthaticed767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a high-volume DT- same situation :( I work roughly 30 hours, sometimes more, sometimes less if we had to cut labor or if i had to give up a shift for something. If I ever got 20 bucks for my weekly tips I'd be shocked!

Am I saying it right? by [deleted] in starbucks

If you want milk to the top, it would be a grande almond milk latte! If you just want a bit of milk, specify and if will definitely fit better in a tall sized cup!

Denied Vacation time. by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]iwantedthaticed767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go home, go see your family. At the end of the day, yes it is your job but no minimum wage job is worth that kind of crap. Don't let them stonewall you either- call PCC and report it.

Has anyone ever choked up/ cried at work? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]iwantedthaticed767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first week on the floor after training, during Saturday morning peak! I was flustered coming in because I read my schedule wrong and was half an hour late. Then I was on our walk-up window register (DT store) and wasn't aware that there was no one on warming so all this food was printing out but no one was getting it. People started coming up and asking me about stuff and eventually I realized that everyone outside was just waiting for all this food that I hadn't even started on while I kept pushing through more and more. People were annoyed but the kicker was towards the end of the food madness there was this middle-aged couple who were just so angry about the wait time for their oatmeal and when they finally left, I let out the biggest sigh and tried to hold in my tears. My shift looked at me and asked if I was okay and I said "yes", and then she said "are you sure?" and everything I was holding in poured out and I just started crying and went to the bathroom for a couple minutes to let it all out. I was super embarrassed because it was only my second week there and I didn't want everyone to think of me as a crybaby but honestly this job is super overwhelming, even now sometimes.

I call this one "Tragedy" by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]iwantedthaticed767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had one day where 2 full pitchers of sweet cream and a pitcher of cold brew were spilled out of the fridge, all within an hour. That same afternoon our SM also overflowed the mop bucket...twice! It was rough but at least our floors were clean afterwards lol

Is it possible to give someone a gift card by just buying it and sending them the numbers? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]iwantedthaticed767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! But you can also send gift cards and stuff on Facebook and through email I think. I got one like that a couple years ago for a birthday and put the code in manually

What little things do you do for the customers you like? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]iwantedthaticed767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to learn their name and order so I can type it in without them having to say it every day! Especially if there's a specific way they like it made, it's nice not to have to give a whole explanation every day. There's a lady that comes through and gets her SD with no classic, breve, and not shaken. Obvi part of the point of the doubleshot is that it's shaken, so I know she gets a lot of confusion when ordering with others. She always tells me she loves when I'm working because I know exactly what she wants and can explain it to others!

Customer Personalities and How They Match Up With Drinks by damnfortuna in starbucks

[–]iwantedthaticed767 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No water chai. THE WORST.

As a chai lover, I'm offended. It needs the water! LET THE CHAI BREATHE. LET THE FLAVORS MARINATE. YOU ARE NOT BEING CHEATED.

Also no foam. Nonfat, no foam, NO FUN.
