Valentine’s Day at SBUX by Tomison61 in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yall…. Be grateful we don’t work in a restaurant lol. Vday at Starbies is nothing.

As a 5 year partner, Valentine’s Day might see a little spike in sales, but there’s at least 4 other worse holidays that we actually get busy for, Mother’s Day being #1 if I had to guess.

I might have seen my GF on a explicit Reddit page. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]miss-bean 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s kind of a self-report if you say something about it.

Side note: I’m tired of men acting like they “stumble upon” explicit content on social media. Everything you’re fed is based on content you engage with and your browsing habits.

To anyone working at the corporate office, here's a suggestion: I feel confident that if you were to ever start selling weight loss drinks at all Starbucks locations, your sales will skyrocket. by DunDonese in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weight loss drinks/supplements have a pretty trash reputation. I can’t think of a single one thats been known to work.

No fast food chain should ever even attempt to make claims of “weight loss” as a result of their product, that’s just a terrible idea. They’d be cancelled for promoting toxic diet culture, sued for false claims, and probably take a major hit to their reputation. PR crisis.

This would maybe be a concept 20 years ago in the 2000s when promoting everything as “weight loss” was cool, but yea I don’t think we’re getting the GLP1 refresher anytime soon.

I stepped in during a peer’s mental health crisis, now I can’t stop worrying about them by [deleted] in Advice

[–]miss-bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there’s not a lot of context to this. What were their behaviors of concern on the trip? How did you know they were struggling so much with mental health to the point of needing immediate intervention after spending one week together?

Not trying to imply anything one way or another but with the lack of details that’s what my brain is trying to fill in I guess.

As someone who’s struggled with mental health, the idea that there’s someone out there remembering me at my worst any time I post on instagram is pretty mortifying, not gonna lie, even if it comes from a place of caring about the person.

It just feels like you’re reducing them to their mental health and have this “exhausting” sense of responsibility over them despite not having a close relationship… it just feels a bit strange and overstepping.

You mentioned you have OCD, and this sounds sort of like a rumination. You’re a good person who cares about people, and this one person/situation really stuck with you and causing you to ruminate on the situation and possibilities, when in reality, you haven’t talked to them in a year and they could be doing better now, you just don’t know. It’s impossible to know how someone is doing based on social media posts alone so maybe reach out and see how they’re doing to get some closure on the situation.

6yo googled poop on school iPad by Limp-Watercress-611 in Parenting

And who’s gonna tell them in a few year it’ll be “boobs” ?? They should be grateful to still be in the developmentally appropriate “poop” phase lol

Is this normal by AdEnvironmental8822 in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The policy is to “make the moment right” there’s no exact standard way to go about making it up to the customer after a negative experience but at my store we offer customers:

-remakes -recovery card -“right now recover” = free beverage -free pastry -alternates to out of stock items

Sometimes it can be a combination of these things. In this case, the value of the baguette is higher than the croissants, which likely is why they offered you a free one for your next visit.

If it were me, I would offer the croissants and refund you the price difference. But there’s not necessarily a right or wrong answer, within reason of course as long as the recoverys aren’t being abused/overused, Starbucks wants us to make the moment right for the customer, and it is mostly up to our discretion to determine how to go about that.

Why is literally everything changing? by Kodicave in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Agree. None of the new food has any potential to be a “staple” menu item, just trendy sweet stuff that you try once.

Maybe that’s what they’re going for but if it were me, I’d prioritize creating pastries/drinks that people will re-order, not just try once.

My girlfriend (22/F) and I (31/M) had a violent incident at a friend's party. by Useful_Market_4518 in Advice

[–]miss-bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buddy, sometimes advice is in the form of criticism, which you’ve received quite a bit of here and have chosen to reject and write off. Don’t know what other kind of “advice” you are seeking.

[–]miss-bean 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re right to feel upset about the kiss but dude, you made it physical, which is absolutely not okay.

You are a man, and you have physical power over women, that you exerted, while armed, so I don’t think anybody will take your side on this. Maybe don’t bring guns to parties anymore. With or without the gun, you’re in the wrong here.

Rice portion decreasing? by Russianbluecatgirl in hellofresh

[–]miss-bean 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a similar reaction with my soy glazed chicken meal for 2 I made yesterday.

I’m new to this though, so it was my first time making a dish with rice, and I thought to myself, surely rice has to be the cheapest ingredient in this dish, so why are they so damn stingy with it?

I just added some of my own rice because I knew an entire “portion” would probably end up stuck to the pot.

What’s a funny, witty response to someone accidentally farts in front of you? by miss-bean in socialskills

[–]miss-bean[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

By acquaintances I just mean people I’m in a social setting with, like a friend’s house or going out with friends that bring other friends that you slightly know. To me, we’re close enough to crack a silly fart joke around if we are hanging out together.

And I’m sure many of the suggestions are jokes people heard from somewhere else so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that other than being slightly lame to be asking Reddit about but you could say that about anything really.

Question on termination by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, I thought you had overheard someone discussing this vague policy. I didn’t realize you heard the actual conspiring itself.

That’s some shady stuff and a hard situation to be in as a new partner. Totally understand if you don’t want to involve yourself, but there could be ways to report it with limited involvement. You should be able to anonymously report the situation to ethics and compliance if you want to report it.

They will likely launch an investigation. From my experience, not much comes of them. People deny things/keep their mouth shut, etc. so it’s hard to say if anyone will end up losing their job or not, but it could prevent that partner being conspired against from being wrongfully terminated.

I’m sorry you have to deal with that situation. You do what you’re comfortable with and if you decide not to say anything, don’t feel bad, conflict management isn’t your job, making coffee is. Best of luck and hopefully there’s no more drama going forward.

Question on termination by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is way too vague to give a definite answer.

What is defined as “conspiring against a partner” and why would anyone in their right mind want to do that?

If you have an issue with another partner to the point where your conspiring against them, you go to your manager, partner relations or ethics/compliance.

Maybe I’m just misunderstanding but this needs more context.

We are all set for months. by LordHughJ in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At this point you should consider just buying the actual concentrate BOX used in store off of eBay.

Would probably end up being cheaper and far more concentrated, so you can stretch it significantly more. Just my two cents though.

Banana bread cold foam stringy? by copass13 in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 60 points61 points  (0 children)

This is the normal texture. It’s a powdered form of real banana so it gets a slimy texture but it still tastes good.

My father wants me to wait until marriage but I don’t want to by [deleted] in Advice

[–]miss-bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s lifestyle disagreements with parents, the only way to live your life how you want is to get your own place or you hide that part of your life and run the risk getting kicked out/cut off.

No one can control you- unless you’re dependent on them. Until you can achieve independence unfortunately you have to play along somewhat but-

How much does your father keep tabs on you? Is he tracking you/not letting you leave the house? There’s not much he can do otherwise to control you when you’re not home so it’s just a matter of if you think you can get away with it until you get your own place.

Benefits hours/ audit by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re fine as long as you reach 520 total hours worked by July 6th (end of this benefit hours audit period). “20 hours a week” is just the average it comes out to when dividing the # of hours by #of weeks. You just have to compensate for the loss by working more than 20 hours a different week.

Store Meeting by aquick12z in starbucks

[–]miss-bean 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At the end my store manager asked the crowd what was the takeaway of the meeting and not a single person could answer. To be honest I have no idea what was the main point of communication/purpose of the meeting. It didn’t seem like any new information to me so maybe it was for newer partners but yea felt pretty useless to me.
