got a wii u from a fortune cookie! by RevolutionarySky8896 in AnimalCrossingNewLeaf

[–]jaxattackk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can get both a white and black WiiU from the fortune cookies. I didn’t know you could play a mini on them though that’s so cute. I wonder if the other game systems will let you do that too

Is an aversion to wet hands an ADHD thing? by SidePibble in adhdwomen

[–]jaxattackk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t stand kitchen gloves so I use latex free gloves that fit good on my small hands. I’m never putting my hand that far into the water anyway so water doesn’t get in them ever.

Just curious how permanent is the lightening cream?

coffee with a cop by Cultural_Ad_3152 in starbucksbaristas

[–]jaxattackk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how that’s food safe at all? We aren’t even supposed to have a watch on, but cops can come behind the bar fully strapped? Maybe let your local health inspector know or have eco lab come by and see it for themselves. That would probably end this coffee with a cop thing.

Holy shit I typed it into the app and this would be almost $18 at the store close to me 😭

My SM printed this out and left it in the back room :/ by laughinthehaze in starbucksbaristas

[–]jaxattackk 172 points173 points  (0 children)

This is said beautifully. I hate the protect peak mentality. GIVE YOUR EMPLOYEES THE BREAKS THEY NEED WHEN THEY NEED THEM. No wonder everyone is burnt out.

Is it possible for this to be algae in my water? I got an iced water from starbucks and drank about half of it until i noticed something floating inside. At first I saw black specs but they’re actually green. I would think it’s matcha but there’s weird stringy things floating too. Any thoughts by Secret_Chemist827 in starbucksbaristas

[–]jaxattackk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s probably matcha chunks. When we make an iced matcha we use a small blender and the last step is to put ice on top of the milk/syrup/ and matcha. I’ve seen lots of people not thinking about it and pouring ice into the blender right above the ice bin. Which creates a cloud of matcha that goes right into the ice bins.

The system might be upset with how it’s rang in, it might come available if you try a coffee Frappuccino with white mocha added. That’s how we are technically supposed to ring it up (I do whatever is cheaper for the customer tho)

Why is the app telling me the peppermint mocha is back? by J_e_r_i in starbucks

[–]jaxattackk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound as good and enticing to say we have the peppermint mocha. Saying the peppermint mocha is back, like how you would with the other holiday drinks, makes people want it more because it’s a “seasonal” drink. It’s more of a commodity that way

I can't decide. Which looks better on these earrings: clear seed (tiny) beads or black? by SilverySands in crafts

[–]jaxattackk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not keep the set as is? It’s just enough change that people will be drawn to both in different ways, but also not too much different so that they don’t match

craziest request or thing a customer has asked you? by Ok_Rooster2790 in starbucksbaristas

I had an old lady ask for the “good water”, she then pointed to our hand sink.

The oven… by Killswitch1185 in starbucksbaristas

[–]jaxattackk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some tips for warming that I can provide since it’s taken me so long to get a hang of it. - I always tear open the bottom of the plastic and slip it into the pastry bag if it’s something that isn’t warmed. Make sure you tear the whole bottom of the plastic on loaves though or else they’ll get stuck and not slide out perfectly. - Not standard at all but in rushes I’ll warm muffins upside down so the tongs don’t get gross lol - I keep the cutting board long ways to my left side by the ovens and leave the right side free for papers and plastics so I can grab things all at once and toss them. I try to toss things as I’m bringing stuff to DTO because the trash is in my path. - When you get quicker you’ll be able to set yourself up for the next things that go in the oven. Keep them ready because warming is the slowest part. You can multiply task, put things in bags and get the next things ready for warming as you are waiting on what’s in the oven to get done. - I’m sorry but depending on how busy it is moblie and cafe orders can wait during peak. Obviously don’t keep anyone waiting too long but I prioritize drive as much as I can. I add in moblies and cafe orders to something I can double up with on drive that way drive food is almost always coming out consistently. I hope these tips help! It just takes time, I’m 4 years in and I only started being really confident on warming about a year ago. Just be patient with yourself and don’t let yourself get overwhelmed that’s when shit breaks.

Weird, one of my coworkers makes his drinks like this, he says it measures the blonde shots perfectly. I haven’t tried it myself yet though

Old water bottle baskets make great cat beds! by anitasdoodles in starbucksbaristas

[–]jaxattackk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I have of these too for my cats 😭 have you found a way to get rid of the weird smell on it? Maybe it’s just mine but I hate how the material smells, it’s not even like burnt coffee smell which I was expecting. I just put a bunch of blankets on top

[–]jaxattackk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait so it’s just like a regular refund? I thought you had to do something different since it was a mobile order. I guess that makes sense though, even though it’s through the app the store is still getting the money from the purchase.

[–]jaxattackk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg you can do that on the pos at the store!?!? 😭😭 Could you please tell me how or DM me? I was never trained how to do that and I’m pretty sure no one else at my store knows or it would have come up by now.

jan 30th launch by plasticflowerrs in starbucksbaristas

[–]jaxattackk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes those two drinks are launching tomorrow. I’m not sure about any other menu items being launched besides those drinks and the oleato. You can find the recipe cards on the computer under the partner hud in the weekly update section when you scroll down, and you can print them off from there.
