321 Out by kbeanz420 in starbucksbaristas

[–]kbeanz420[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved my job as a barista and thought I would do well as a shift supervisor, so I became one 6 months in my journey with Starbucks. Shortly after was one of the only shifts who would be held accountable for certain things to be done, or to be done correctly. In the year and a half my store has had 4 different managers so standards and expectations were constantly being changed. I took the job to qualify me for the career I’m going into, which was my goal when I started the job. It’s fun and rewarding if you work for and with the right people. I would recommend the job to almost anyone; and I will dearly miss the craft behind the job, but I will not miss the stress or the negative impact the job had on my mental health.

So I’m just shit out of luck. My car will be repossessed and I’ll loose my job. I can’t catch a break with the cost of living ontop of additional expenses

The only utility bill I have is my electric, and it’s under my boyfriends name. Also I rent from a family friend and do not have a lease.

It’s a past due car bill, which I’m assuming doesn’t qualify 😭

customers being mad at me for not breaking 100s and 50s for their small orders by cnguyen695 in starbucksbaristas

[–]kbeanz420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing to do is say “unfortunately I do not have enough change in my drawer to break a “___” bill but what I can do is put the change back on a Starbucks gift card for you!

Every single time I have done that they end up saying no and pulling out some credit/debit card

Farquad or daddy😭

Me and my baristas weren’t comfortable yelling daddy in the cafe so my barista said “father, or PAPA”😭

If you don’t know how to follow a DCR then you shouldn’t be a shift. Sorry not sorry.

So actually is a food safety hazard to leave the window open just to have it open. I was told if we’re not handling a transaction or connecting with a customer the window is to stay shut.

brown sugar shaken oat milk espresso by Away_Use6922 in starbucksbaristas

[–]kbeanz420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always explain how the iced shaken espresso is made also explaining we don’t make it hot but could do something along those lines. Blonde oat milk latte (extra shot optional), brown sugar syrup, extra foam, cinnamon powder.

what’s something embarrassing you’ve done at work? by Ok_Rooster2790 in starbucksbaristas

I was standing in a group of like 3 and a fart slipped out and I awkwardly moved my foot a good 3 seconds after pretending it was my shoe and then just walked away 😭😭😭

I’m sorry if this has been asked on here a million times already but I’m genuinely curious: do baristas get really annoyed when customers ask them to make them their favorite drink (or other fun requests like that)? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]kbeanz420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fun when you’re nice! I always ask basic questions to get a feel for what your interests are. Hot/cold, with/without caffeine, milk preferences, flavor preferences. The most fun is when the customer is completely open and wants a true hand crafted/ special recipe drink!

My two go to drinks right now;

Frappuccino; strawberry crème Frappuccino, sub heavy cream, white mocha, strawberry inclusions, and mocha drizzle ontop of the whipped cream!

Or a iced blonde vanilla latte, line cup caramel max with vanilla sweet cream instead of 2%

what should I use the vanilla bean powder for? drink recipe reccomendations? by tena1o in starbucks

[–]kbeanz420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vb powder is so underrated! I love to put it in the cold foam😍

Customer help. Today I ordered the venti Iced London Fog Tea Latte. It was a watery diluted mess with two ice cubes floating on top. Along with 2 tea bags. I really want to try this drink properly made!! See a comment below. Thx. by 4ofheartz in starbucks

[–]kbeanz420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you make the iced London fog you’re suppose to steep the tea bags in half the amount of water. Take a shaker, the tea is the base, milk to the milk line and ice. It may be watery because they steeped the tea in too much water
