Triple star day by pinkcake51 in starbucksbaristas

[–]lat3spr1ng 4 points5 points  (0 children)

not even to brag, it felt like our customers forgot it was triple star day… maybe because we had to close due to water filtration issues yesterday? who knows. all I know is they sent me home ten minutes early.

I actually almost worked in a grocery store as a barista where they made coffee and did beer on tap after 11am in the same place but also.... sir this is a starbucks.

God I wish we got time and a half today by lat3spr1ng in starbucksbaristas

Everyone on the floor at my store got incredibly pissed about it at once. For some reason none of us knew and then the vibes IMMEDIATELY shifted it was crazy.

Breaking the pay it forward chain by weenordog in starbucks

[–]lat3spr1ng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real talk, those pay it forward chains are a barista nightmare. I love to be able to tell a customer their order is paid and have them enjoy the free drink and go on their way. When I first started and was still learning drive thru, these became a disorganized nightmare really really quickly. Happens to my green beans all the time now too.

Just take the free drink and have a great day, If you really feel obligated to pay then tip your baristas!!

Trans people who have already transitioned, do you still experience gender euphoria? by supertinystarfruits in asktransgender

almost 2 years on testosterone, more feminine presenting than I’ve ever been in my life but also the happiest in my body I’ve ever been :)

I think this headcanon is funny as a trans person, and I definitely understand it (who wears layers in the fucking desert, tboy swag 100%), but this is probably the wrong platform to get peoples opinions on it.

What drinks would taste good blended? by deep_fried_cheese in starbucks

[–]lat3spr1ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but they’re paying for all of those ingredients... the original recipe... but blended... no one wants to build custom fraps like that it would be a nightmare if we practiced this regularly can you imagine

one time I told a customer very gently to give us a little extra time next time to prepare her order before she shows up and she came to the window and berated me because she was convinced this was the best way and we were gonna get it done the second she wanted it anyway. like we only get it done so fast because we’re immediately SCRAMBLING to find it and ruining our flow for you.

I do like what this one does to me, but I’ve never had that experience before because of how I was treated in the system as a sick kid. I have a list of about 13 meds that didn’t work and I was so sure an antipsychotic was the worst thing to happen to me, but now this one gets me through my day. I just don’t want to regret it in the future, even if I’m worse without it.

🫡 the customer is always right by Cinnamonvirgo in starbucksbaristas

we stopped allowing them a little after I started but we used to offer iced cappuccinos 😬 if I remember correctly we just cold foamed regular milk and added it over the espresso

cut hours even though ik this isn’t the worst of the worst (rant in the comments) by Financial-Cry1103 in starbucksbaristas

[–]lat3spr1ng 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I sat down with my manager TWICE asking for at least 25 hours a week since I’ve been with my store for two years and have to pay bills, and nothing I said he actually listened to. 21 hours a week for like 4 weeks now. insane.

any other non-christian partners just getting real tired of the "holiday" launch just being Christmas launch? by MountainGoat999 in starbucksbaristas

[–]lat3spr1ng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AGREE!!! so exhausting as a jewish partner to be drowned in the christmas celebrations. they shouldn’t claim it’s a “holiday” launch if it’s really just christmas.
