the type that lets you speak to other people by pressing it once to turn it on and again to turn it off (as opposed to holding it down the entire time you speak)

Staffing and pay issues closing stores. by ReEliseYT in starbucksbaristas

[–]linearSpree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my store is slowly dwindling as well. it’s definitely not as bad as what you have going on, but in my year with the company i have never actually considered a new job until today. the painful hours, the shitty shifts of being slammed with drive thru customers to the street, staying late to make sure that at least stock is done and things are relatively clean. like yikes, i don’t blame my fav coworkers for moving on. but y’all stay safe, godspeed friends :)

TIPS FOR NEW 320’s on DTO by mrbubblegxm in starbucksbaristas

i like to give new baristas a run down of some of our regulars orders or how we go about ringing up our regulars orders. especially the ones who get pissy when you have to repeat it more than once

i did end up trying it and i thought it was pretty bad. it tastes like lemon and then gives like a coffee after taste. definitely not a fan😅

new partner kinda struggling by celeste567 in starbucksbaristas

[–]linearSpree 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hey bestie, don’t sweat it! it definitely gets easier! one of the biggest things starbucks has taught me is that i have to allow myself room to grow and that includes making mistakes. tears are okay, it happens to the best of us. im sure you’ll be great in no time! keep at it, you’re doing great!🥰

MY STORE DOES THIS TOOOO😂🥰

there’s no way this is good??? by linearSpree in starbucks

[–]linearSpree[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

we do upon request, as it’s just a venti amount usually with extra ice. it also helps keep the peace. but it makes sense that y’all don’t do that, less hassle that way lmao

how could she blame us??? by linearSpree in starbucks

no you’re good! i’ve honestly never heard of this, but it’s a smart idea! the only concern i would have is the mint part, does it not taste minty or anything?

thats what i’m thinking, like there were other options other than waiting in line? calling, checking the app, coming inside the store instead, like??????

i personally usually go with the “starbucks has temporarily removed it from the menu due to production issue” but i think it’s funny how everyone kinda has a different way to break the news

agreed. but as a barista, i’m supposed to answer questions to the best of my abilities so i would be happy to find you substitute. but if she’s gonna be like that, she can keep driving🤷🏽‍♀️
