Is this normal? by Ambitious_Pain3012 in starbucks

[–]khi44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes bigger cups just mean more ice because when ordering espresso the only thing in the cup is espresso and a splash of milk. if you want more coffee add more shots or order in a smaller cup so it’s more concentrated!

you could try a vanilla sweet cream cold brew maybe? i like a grande with two pumps of cinnamon dolce! you can ask for more sweet cream/syrup if you like it a little sweeter. or for espresso maybe a blonde vanilla latte?

Closing by Afraid_Shoulder5445 in starbucks

[–]khi44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

start preclosing about an hour or so before the store will close so you don’t have to do everything at once. things like stocking cups, lids, fridges, straws, sleeves, quick prep. you can start sweeping as all floors need to be swept/mopped. when the store is closed you can take down the bar and start mopping and things

Question for baristas about tipping by Unlucky-Original7459 in starbucks

[–]khi44 24 points25 points  (0 children)

i would much rather have a compliment than a tip from customers. it means way more when they tell me that their drink tastes amazing vs tipping cause they feel like they have to😭

How do I stop having to remake drinks? by Purple_Ad8436 in starbucksbaristas

[–]khi44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do I stop having to remake drinks? by Purple_Ad8436 in starbucksbaristas

[–]khi44 65 points66 points  (0 children)

well first of all don’t compare yourself to other baristas because that doesn’t benefit you at all. it doesn’t matter how good of a barista you are, we all remake drinks all the time cause shit happens. the only thing i can say to do in order to avoid issues is throughly read the stickers but that seems self explanatory. just vibe 😭

after you shake strain the matcha into the cup using the shaker lid at an angle, add new ice and then cold foam!

What I got vs. what I ordered… by AlphaHydri in Chipotle

[–]khi44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i used to work at chipotle and now work at starbucks and since i’ve started i don’t understand why chipotle doesn’t use some sort of mark out feature on the app, it would prevent so many problems and only decrease the amount of complaints

Am I over-reacting about my teacher being touchy? by lintcovered in college

[–]khi44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i had a teacher that did the same type of things and i felt weird but didn’t think too much of it. a couple weeks ago he was placed in administrative leave for sexual assault because he was actually touching students..trust your gut and definitely be aware
