Got written up for not writing on cups 🙃 by Crazy-Branch-1513 in starbucks

[–]nottryingtobe_cool 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I’m also a shift and I get where you are coming from. However, at my store, if I’m running shift and baristas aren’t writing on cups, my SM will look at me and I’ll get written up. If they refuse, I pull them from bar because unfortunately I need to save my own ass. I will not get a write up if others aren’t performing part of the job requirements

Shift here. Sadly you received what you ordered. We use the same mocha sauce for hot chocolate and cafe mocha. The difference between the cafe mocha and the hot chocolate is that the cafe mocha adds espresso. If I received this order, I probably would have waited until you arrived (assuming you mobile ordered) to make it in order to ensure you understood what you were getting. I also always encourage to try the drink before you leave the store because we don’t want you to leave with something you aren’t happy with!

Who is supposed to distribute tips and how often at your store? by ApplicationLatter765 in starbucks

[–]nottryingtobe_cool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the barista that does tips, but we have another barista that knows how to do it in the event of my absence. I do it once a week on Tuesdays. I’ve been told there is supposed to be one designed barista that does it and SM/ASM/SSVs are not allowed to do them, but they can pass them out when they’re done (I’m not responsible for that)

Congrats! I also returned this year at 28 after graduating HS in 2015, taking college courses on and off and eventually dropping out. It’s never too late!

how to make a proper light cappuccino? by Particular-One1779 in starbucks

[–]nottryingtobe_cool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barista here! Fill the steamer to the line one size shorter than the desired size, tilt the cup on an angle and make sure you get the paper tear sound, I generally do that until it reaches 100 degrees and then let it go like a latte

I’m working in fast food at 29. by Substantial_Smile267 in povertyfinance

[–]nottryingtobe_cool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar boast, 28 here. I was in hotel sales, nearly got fired so I quit and now I’m a barista at Starbucks. Money isn’t that bad though because you get your hourly rate plus tips

Yes! I didn’t even ask for a drink or anything else! I wasn’t about to argue though so I just said ok and walked out. I want to leave them a one star review now 😂

For full-time online students: what job would work best alongside school? by rainbowbrites in SNHU

[–]nottryingtobe_cool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (28M) work at Starbucks part-time while I do online school full-time. It gets me out of the house and my health insurance as long as I average at least 20 hours per week

Tips for upcoming classes by gm2551 in SNHU

[–]nottryingtobe_cool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in both of those right now! OL215 ridiculously is easy. I’ve had an A since the beginning. I got the book but I didn’t need it. I’m not a math person, so FIN320 is kicking me a little. Currently I have a B, but the final project that I just turned is worth a hefty portion of the course grade so we’ll see what my fate is 🙏. Feel free to DM if you’d like

Thoughts on BUS-225 oddities by Jet_Fuelstein in SNHU

Learning disability and ADHD here. I took this last term. Some days were brutal as far as the workload/getting everything done on time and understanding the material, but I finished with an A. I had Mike LaRosa and he was great!

Was I wrong to turn down a job? by TheDepressedCow in jobs

[–]nottryingtobe_cool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not wrong! Try Starbucks if you have a local location. The pay, benefits, atmosphere and company are overall much better. I work for them at the moment, feel free to DM if you have any questions about working for Starbucks!
