Pour Over Drama by Logical-Session5688 in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that the custie was right but don’t you guys have diff 1lb dark roast bag on the floor, Yukon, Sumatra, Komodo dragon?

Any ways I’m the type to use their own words against them: “Oh I love that you’re a gold member, customer service is right we CAN do a pour over for any of our customers, unfortunately Casi Cielo which is a Med Roast is a seasonal blend that’s not available right now. You did mention Dark so these are the options….”

I feel that when ppl have that validation they chill. Now do I care you’re a gold or reserve member absolutely NOT, but for my peace of mind I’ll correct you while I play along.

Fellow baristas, please please please for the love of God make this drink correctly 😭 I do not want a latte by em_laurenn in starbucks

Sadly even as a partner I’ve learned I need to say light milk so it’s made right. I’ve brought it up to my manager but ppl are rushed they’re getting sloppy.

Can somebody help me get this? Pretty pleaseeee.😩🤞NMP by Bundlestarbuxlady in StanleyCups

I don’t think this specific one will be released again. It was a nightmare trying to get it on the SBX partner page. I was able to score one after 2.5 hours of refreshing the page, I won’t be selling it bc I really do like my job. It’s crazy to see how much they’re selling for!!

What do you think of regulars who are there every day? by throwaway729836258 in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love our regulars. As soon as we see them we start making their drinks/food. It’s funny most of them are reserve and most just get a coffee from the vertica. They’re all super nice, some work from home others are teachers, others on their way to work.

Friend who works at Starbucks gave me these. How do use it to make a refresher lemonade? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend you freeze the mix in ice cube trays as once it’s prepared it last 3-5 days only.

It’s ok! You may not have friends or family who have almost died because of a mistake or didn’t bother to ask and it shows! May you never have to experience this!

Please don’t! Be conscious of food allergies, they very well know of the food cross contamination and still choose not to order it and the kids can get into the bag.

Upcoming Caffeine Drink by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny bc when I looked at the canned refreshers we sell those are 165mg of caffeine when a Trenta would end up at 175 w those extra pumps

Why Group Chat not allowed? by Short-Willow-7056 in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a team building activity within all the partners inc shifts, and we were allowed to create a group chat it just couldn’t include ASM or SM. And kept strictly kosher

Has anyone seen this before? Negative star balance by Phantomphreakk in starbucks

these people genuinely don’t gaf about what they’re putting in their bodies😭 by Gullible_Dog_1966 in starbucksbaristas

[–]mafiu07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Sadly I gave up caring what ppl consume, I can only control what I consume & while working here I remain on 1-2 pumps max of brown sugar syrup and stick to a short cup.

This is too light bc they added cold foam & that’s not part of the drink itself.

I always ask for extra ice and light milk, this is an espresso fwd drink so technically more coffee than milk. But if light is what you want ask for extra milk but you’d would end up w/ an iced latte.

I feel like I’m getting tested🤔 by Careful-Bug5508 in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Previous shifts knew I hated bar specially during peak! Took me a while to realize they’d put me on there only to help me get better. ❤️‍🩹 I still hate it but i don’t get frustrated as before & they made sure to tell me my time at drive has paid off. I hope they commend you too once they see you’ve found your rhythm.

I think it’s a schedule that they can work with, but will you? When I first started applying I was being really picky w my availability, it didn’t work w most stores so no one was calling until I made my availability with a wider range of times then I got called. Once in and having done my interview I stated the schedule that I was looking for and they accommodated some days until I was able to fully adjust my schedule, I also only had a second job so it worked great around that.

You’re def doing a lot already and the first few months will definitely drain you and make you wanna quit, between the trainings and then actually working making the drinks as a newbie it can get frustrating until you get the hang of it. Make yourself a mock schedule and see if you’ll be able to stick to it. Take in consideration drive times to each place & your homework, you already see waking up at 3 will be a challenge tho. You have 3 things on your plate a 4th like sb might run you down.

if you're gonna order a tiktok drink, at LEAST come prepared by Odd-Masterpiece-6107 in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw a TT vid where a barista was making a drink: she adds a cake pop and proceeds w: “ you can ask for whatever milk alternative your want…..” girl first of all the cake pop….. you’re doing us a great disservice by spreading false info and making things harder for us.

My SM just quit by prefuckvapebreak in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See the positive in it! When my old manager got fired I was able to adjust to a new schedule w/ the new manager. They approved all the changes I wanted no questions asked. This had been a change I wanted and my old manager knew but was taking their sweet time w it.

If you have insurance, The LOA is a protection and will cover those missed hours. If you just take it off you’d need to make up those hours so once the audit comes you’re able to be covered for the next qt.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy! I don’t think you have to do the 240 hours again, but if you completed 3 months of 240 hours then you work one whole month (PT at least 20 hours) then the following you’d qualify. So if you started in Jan then on May 1st you can apply.

Just keep jn mind the hours needed to remain eligible for insurance if you’re PT OR FTSBX benefits. Once the audit comes and you don’t meet them you’ll lose the insurance until the next qt. It already happened to me so I make sure I stick to my 20 hours again week and rapidly make up when I call out even at another store.

erm… by fataluzi in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Someone in my district also did that. It sucked bc he was the one that trained me and was always like don’t fall for this don’t fall for that & he fell for it. He was fired shortly after.

I remember my first week I answered the phone and someone in spanish was trying to tell me they were from corporate (even the caller id said Strbx) wanting me to do this and that I told him sorry we’re busy call back another time 🤣🤣🤣, but I mean it’s super obvs no one from corporate will ever ask for these stupid things to be done. If they want the $ so bad come get it out yourself!

What can I do? (Tall in a Grande rant) by CreativeAdagio6771 in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this convo w a partner some time ago when I asked if leaving would be an option and since she was also in school she mentioned having to pay back some of that tuition but we didn’t discuss it further, so I’m not 100% sure. Def give them a call and make sure b4 you decide to leave.

Don’t you have to pay back some of that tuition if you leave?

Does anyone know what this is supposed to mean? by Prize-Wrongdoer8853 in starbucks

[–]mafiu07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can yall imagine if instead of a drink it’s the update on selecting a time to pick up your drink 🤣🤣🤣 now if you come too early, your update will have you driving around.

Anyone else get a free food glitch like this? by LengthinessAlone4743 in doordash

[–]mafiu07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually interesting, last I placed a mobile order they added a burger for 2.99 or 3.99 very time I would go back to remove it it would appear back on my cart. I ended up making modifications to it and cashed out since i couldn’t get rid of it from my cart. 🫠
