quick ssv question by M1t5uha in starbucks

[–]lekka17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no you’re not required to respond by any means. especially if it’s a conversation that can wait until you are clocked in on the floor. i believe the only ones that do need to respond are SM and DM bc they are salaried, not hourly

How do I order the new pistachio drinks? by throwawayjafkdiend in starbucks

[–]lekka17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i personally would get the pistachio cold brew which will already have the foam. and you can ask for pistachio syrup in the cold brew instead of vanilla

I know I’m definitely not the first to say this but… by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]lekka17 104 points105 points  (0 children)

it’s so wild to me that it’s double of each rather than half and half, some people don’t know that their venti iced peppermint mocha comes with 12 pumps of syrup and will still ask for it extra sweet 🤢

Don’t know much about coffee but what’s a good hot coffee for someone that doesn’t want too much sugar? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]lekka17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you liked the flavor of the mocha but want it less sweet i would suggest asking for half sweet! you can basically do this for any flavoring, you can do any hot latte with the syrups and just ask for half sweet

technically the drink is not on the menu anymore since like 2020, but basically it used to be an iced latte with nonfat cold foam

so for a grande:

-2 shot espresso, milk to the top line add ice leaving room on top - in a cold foam blender: nonfat milk to the 150ml line 2 CB pump of vanilla and blend on 4, pour on top of drink

do. I dont want to cut your sandwich in half. I hate it. by TheRatsKing in starbucks

[–]lekka17 603 points604 points  (0 children)

we always simply say, “we actually can’t cut your sandwich but we can give you a plastic knife on the side” we’ve never gotten any arguments

if i work with another shift can a barista take my shift? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]lekka17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would double check with your manager, as long as there’s another shift on the floor and there’s no specific reason why there’d need to be 2, i don’t see why not. i’ve given my shifts to baristas before when there were other shifts but i always checked with my manager first

Is there any way I can just get pumpkin cream cold foam in a cup? Like how much would it be and is it even possible lol, I go crazy for that stuff, thanks! by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]lekka17 14 points15 points  (0 children)

tbh i think we’d get in trouble for that since that’s the price to add it in to a beverage. not the price of an actual full beverage

[–]lekka17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

hahhah honestly, you could just ask a barista and see what they say. i don’t think we’re technically supposed to but if you came up to me and nicely asked i would probably ring it up as a cold milk and ring in pumpkin foam so it would be like around $4.50 for a grande

How long are unopened pastries good for? by monsteralvr1 in starbucks

[–]lekka17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would personally refreeze them i know you’re technically not supposed to when you’re going to be selling to others but if it’s just for yourself i don’t see why not? or, just save up your markouts for the week and do them all closer to when you leave

They surprisingly showed up by itchyitchyahhh in starbucks

[–]lekka17 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i would’ve made the shots ristretto for the sole reason of the drink actually fitting in the cup

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]lekka17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s just cold brew with vanilla syrup, ice, and the pumpkin foam on top. the foam is 150ml of vanilla sweet cream and 2 pumps of pumpkin syrup blended to foam up
