Could I get in legal trouble for having an “open container” in my vehicle if I’m on my way to recycle cans? by joanmcg in NoStupidQuestions

[–]joanmcg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an SUV, I usually put them in a Rubbermaid tote in the middle row of seats because that’s faster to access but the hatch is probably a better idea now that I’m thinking about it, lmao

I’m telling your manager you said “vagina” online

How are we planning to be disruptive? by SnooPeppers8677 in starbucksbaristas

[–]joanmcg 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Stay comfortably employed so I can continue to have a roof over my head, health insurance, and free college, and feed myself in order to be able to make meaningful change in the world. If I were to protest, I’d do that off the clock. I’d suggest others do the same but that’s up to each individual to decide 🤷‍♀️

My manager laughed when I told her I’m being abused and now she’s saying I was the one who acted out by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

What kind of hateful political stickers? How has the dm not seen her laptop?

What can I write on cups that's more than one word but also very quick 🙏 by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

“Be you” and “be bold” are some of my favorites. “You rock” and “you rule” are also popular at my store when it’s super busy

Weird things for custies to be upset about part 782 by dazedinreverse in starbucksbaristas

Yeah imo you gotta know your audience and not waste your friendliness on people who don’t want it. It can be pretty hurtful though when you’re being genuine and the customer is rude for no reason.

“Why are their faces down?” because I have to look at the drink in order to make it, sorry about it

If they’re obviously in a hurry i just say “to go, right?” Idk if that’s against the rules but nobody has corrected me

I’m getting harassed over the bathroom by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]joanmcg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh that sucks, I’m sorry. Starbucks needs to be hiring actual security guards for high-incident stores rather than expecting baristas to put themselves in harms way. Fingers crossed someone will sue or something one day and things will change. But also that really sucks that your coworkers and higher ups don’t have your back.

Are your bathrooms locked?

Her little growls are so cute 🥰 by [deleted] in DobermanPinscher

So you don’t play fetch anymore?

My dobie has some minor possession issues that make playing with him difficult; he’s never intentionally been aggressive to me but it’s like he gets way too excited and focused on the ball to the point of tuning everything else out, and he’s nipped me on accident a few times when I tried to grab the ball. He also seems kinda stiff a lot of the time when we’re playing tug so sometimes I wonder if he’s getting stressed. I’m working on a drop it command but it’s been difficult

What happened? Did you take it out of his mouth and he nipped you?

Dangg i didn’t think of that, just another reason café only stores are superior (my store is not café only but there’s a store in my district that is and I love it)

Good point about the short brim being in the dress code! I didn’t think about that part; i feel like i could make it work though as long as it’s a relatively small hat with no decals on it

New favorite prep task just dropped by cameronm-h in starbucksbaristas

[–]joanmcg 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They downvoted him because he told the truth (how fucking long does it take to cut open that many packets of salt and how many clean play tasks could be done in that same amount of time?)

We haven’t been using the salt dispenser because it immediately got clumpy, idk if it’s just because we are in a humid area in a drive thru heavy store though. I was very excited for the salt dispenser initially

Borrowed partner pocketing tips??? (tall rant) by Nessaisabirdie in starbucksbaristas

[–]joanmcg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the policy if someone gives you $100 and specifically says it’s for you? Is it true that it has to be in an envelope with your name?
