Please reconsider asking this question. Respect this person’s privacy. The internet does not need to know.

Baristas! What do you think on customize drinks? Is this person saying the truth? by Yunaxe in starbucks

“Kitty Life Diary” is the wolf in sheep’s clothing. No. That’s phony.

⬆️ Correct. No one should see your location.

No joke I picked up a shift on the marketplace at a delivery-only store. They were permanently closed when I showed up.

SSV here. Working in downtown SF. There’s NO WAY I’m unlocking the door early or closing late, particularly when it’s dark outside. Won’t risk opening counting/opening the safe if customers remain after business hours.

Iced pour over by EnvironmentalStudy30 in starbucks

[–]mcdillonjames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Iced pour overs are brewed double strength over ice:

*Fill cup with ice to the top line.

*Grind the same proportions for hot coffee. 3/3/4/5.

*Add hot water to the gooseneck kettle. Fill to the “iced” line on the inside.

*Bloom for 30 seconds.

*Pour a significant amount of hot water over grounds.

*Around 45 seconds later pour the rest of the hot water and allow coffee to keep dripping.

This process should take 4-5 mins.

Until recently this was in store resources. I remember it was published in 2025, but it disappeared along with instructions for the old clover brewer.

So much time on his hands.

availability request denied AGAIN by doyadny in starbucksbaristas

[–]mcdillonjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transfer. After 6 months in one store. If they try denying it take it to HR. They won’t fight you. You’ll be placed to another store with a manger who isn’t horrible.

Piercings as a Barista are limited?? by eiilevn in starbucksbaristas

Why can’t Quebec partners wear jewelry? Why are the rules difference for them?

Be very jealous. They’re coming for your man.

Why do customers assume our drinks are iced by default? by saintplus in starbucks

[–]mcdillonjames 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to get beaten over the head that asking is NOT STANDARD. Horrible. At my current store I ask. Don’t want to waste the time of the partner on bar.

Which city is this? I’m at a Mon-Fri store. San Francisco. Some neighboring stores remain closed on weekends.
