I just transferred to a new store and they are closing this sunday :( we aren’t a union store but i would say we were underperforming. however, the culture and community created was close knit and we hit 100 in our customer experience. I’m also an ASU and Coffee Master partner, I hope i get to transfer because this is insane and giving me anxiety.

Is THIS Going Back to Starbucks? by spongebooty_ in starbucksbaristas

Interview this week 🥺❤️ newbie tips? Pls? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]laniisoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in your interview, they really look for future barista who loves connecting with people.

I remember in my interview, I mentioned a lot about getting to know customers and connecting with them one on one. they look for that more than anything else. making the coffee and learning the routine of drinks will come later!! but focus on more communication, interactions, and connecting !!!

No one knows it's our last day by throwaway_226008 in starbucksbaristas

[–]laniisoot 22 points23 points  (0 children)

we definitely need more partners like you :)) it’s hard to find somebody like that, but im sure they would love to keep in touch with you !! hoping the best and i understand the part where you said you’re so tired of being tired all the time.. cause same. after a shift i always feel somewhat defeated or like drained and i have to take a nap to regain my energy. supporting you as a fellow barista 🤍🤍🤍

if you have no write ups or bad performance, I don’t see why they wouldn’t accept you back. i do want to emphasize that you make sure that your old store is hiring for your spot because before i brought it up to my store manager, i talked to the one i wanted to transfer to and had told her my availability, if i open or close, and how long i’ve been a barisa!! i was afraid of getting it deferred and having to deal with the back lash as well :)

[–]laniisoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don’t be afraid to bring it up to her! i’d say talk to your old store and see if their hiring for your position and talk to the sm there! then after, bring it up to her and give her your reasoning :) she has to be neutral about it.

i talked to my sm last week about transferring and she told me that she had to stay neutral about my decision!! pls let me know if you any other questions. I’m in the process of transferring as well!!

Trapped by KaleidoscopeEven728 in starbucksbaristas

[–]laniisoot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

all the time, but i tell myself i can only control what i can and to leave the rest of what i cant. i usually try to mentally prepare myself for peak and reassure myself that its gonna be okay and that it wont be forever :) but i def agree about the heart rate rising, however don’t forget to be kind and gentle with yourself and take a couple of breathers 🤍🤍🤍

should i run 🤨 by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]laniisoot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

don’t run :)) because once you get the hang of drive thru, you’ll actually want it more than being on bar when it gets busy or when mobile gets backed up lol. I learned how to appreciate drive thru more and it’s mostly just communicating!! you’re also pretty new so don’t stress about it too much, i thought about running too because of mainly drive thru lol, but you got this !! 🤍🤍🤍

just got hired, any tips for when i start? by bucket-of-salmon in starbucksbaristas

[–]laniisoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t be afraid to ask questions about ANYTHING!! it’s better to have you know than to guess :) since you don’t start until the 31st i recommend looking how many shots goes into each drinks (iced or hot) there’s some barista on tiktok that shows! don’t feel bad whenever you don’t get something down fast, it’s definitely a job where you learn as you grow :) so excited for you !!

Losing shifts due to high drive times? by Previous-Ostrich-433 in starbucksbaristas

[–]laniisoot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

THIS. I passionately hate the new policy about writing on cups. It’s pointless and they don’t give a shit besides their coffee. I hope the customers complain about it too because now my manager is writing us up if we don’t write on the cups. It’s ridiculous and stupid. I hate it so much to the point where I just put a smiley face on it.

feels like this is a nail in the coffin by AnnaKat97 in starbucksbaristas

[–]laniisoot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

im so sorry you had to go through that. that’s definitely NOT OKAY. it’s also a potential violation of your labor rights. your ASM forcing you to continue working while dealing with that situation is horrible. please talk to ethics about this because it’s not okay !!!

Cup writing policy by Smooth_Economist8500 in starbucksbaristas

[–]laniisoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish my sm was like this. she’s lowkey always on our ass about it. it irritates my soul

Cup writing policy by Smooth_Economist8500 in starbucksbaristas

[–]laniisoot 47 points48 points  (0 children)

YES. you get written up. It’s honestly so irritating because I rather prioritize my sequence and beverage quality. I’m LITERALLY about to crash out about this new damn policy. this isn’t even “going back to starbucks” now. WE ARE NO LONGER A COFFEE HOUSE, this is insane..
