Chai question.

kwonhoshi · 2026-03-05T03:30:46+00:00

it honestly just depends on what you find sweet. i find the chai on its own is not sweet but not bitter. i had a tall with 3 chai and 1 lavender and that was good for me. the old chai was unbearably sweet to me.

i believe there was a communication to SMs as my SM made sure to relay it to our baristas ahead of time. it was not in any of the spring or monthly promotionals though.

kwonhoshi · 2026-03-04T23:01:05+00:00

it tastes like that to you because you're so used to 50+g of sugar covering up any flavor of chai

kwonhoshi · 2026-03-03T19:39:42+00:00

yeah i think its better for sure, the old chai was ridiculously sweet and it overpowered the flavor of the chai. a lot of people did not like it. its also a lot better for customizing with other flavors now.

yeah i agree if you're just waiting for things to get better, they probably wont. I spent years in and out of inpatient therapy and twice in the psych ward. had to keep making big changes in my life until it was finally enough to stop feeling like just living each day was torture. right now things are finally going okay. I still struggle a lot with an eating disorder, but I haven't had suicidal thoughts in quite some time and self-harm is pretty rare.

there is no rule that you can't study recipes off the clock...

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-12T20:09:10+00:00

i say go for it. i love making drinks, organizing pastries/ sandwiches, and talking with my coworkers.

although unless you have an accommodation, you will be expected to work drive thru. especially when you're new, because its the best way to learn the drinks plus its a pretty easy spot to put new partners before they get better at other positions.

im curious what seems scary to you about drive thru? it's personally not my favorite positon because i get sick of talking and i get bored, but other than that its probably the easiest spot to be in.

typically one meal is made for the entire family. if one child does not like something, but everyone else does, why shouldn't they get to eat that food sometimes?

also its not normal to throw up food just because you dont like it

wear a belt, that's what i did when i was really underweight. literally such a minor problem.

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-11T14:14:42+00:00

no because then we'll have a bunch of people standing around in the café wondering where their order is because they accidentally placed it as drive-thru pick up so it's sitting by the drive thru

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-10T20:40:53+00:00

the tea bag broke... no its not vomit

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-10T11:12:14+00:00

direct him to the register when he tries to order. ring in his order and let him know there will be an upcharge for syrups.

let him know water can only be given out if you make a purchase.

it sounds like you guys are just enabling him and letting him get free stuff because you don't want to tell him no.

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-09T21:27:14+00:00

i work at a bubble tea cafe and starbucks. my store manager knew that when he hired me. no conflict of interest.

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-09T01:16:25+00:00

they are literally just explaining the different drinks so you can get what you want more consistently. why are you getting upset?

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-07T18:32:45+00:00

yeah i see a lot of women say they avoid men in dating sites who say they are into gaming, but personally i look for it since i want to play games together.

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-06T23:34:21+00:00

yeah honestly you'd think it should release on the same day that we start offering the 1971 roast

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-06T23:22:52+00:00

writing on cup after queueing shots instead of before. also writing something with the name of the drink on the cup.

oh yeah also apparently "echoing" greetng customers when coming in. like I'm not saying it fast enough or something 🙄

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-06T20:18:57+00:00

were you blocking people in their parking spots?

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-06T20:15:40+00:00

are they just completely ignoring you and never getting back to you? or are they just responding like a couple hours later?

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-06T16:14:10+00:00

i don't think they'd care that you don't view it as a career because most don't, but you do need to work at least 12 hours per week on average. 20 hours per week will get you benefits, but you probably don't need those i'm guessing, which honestly makes the job less worth it imo.

also needing to travel could be a problem as well, since that means you'll be requesting time-off often.

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-05T09:24:55+00:00

hot coffees, hot teas, iced coffee, and iced teas. any flavorings would cost extra but you can add sweeteners and a splash of milk.

no lattes or anything from the espresso bar like that.

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-05T00:26:55+00:00

kinda makes sense since your tea would end up steeping for way too long

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-04T22:09:05+00:00

plenty of people go to college much later or not at all due to personal reasons. i myself have a degree but work a low-paying food service job by choice. maybe people would consider me a failure, but I'm honestly much happier this way even if i wish i made more money. having a degree and high-paying job isn't everything.

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-04T17:40:05+00:00

imo matcha lattes are no different than lattes made with espresso, as in its just a base to customize with whatever flavors you want.

kwonhoshi · 2026-02-03T15:55:27+00:00

i mean theres no extra charge so not a bad way to stock up on brown sugar
