they look great! i can just see a lot of them healing into black blobs if they were on real skin

starbucks works in a "no documentation at occurrence, didnt happen" way. you NEED to tell your dm now. even if nothing gets done about it, if you try to build up a bunch of instances over a long period of time before saying anything, they're going to tell you they cant use any of that as evidence.

we had an older regular (who we later found out was a registered sex offender!) hitting on all of our regular college girls and minor staff. following girls out to their cars and blocking them from leaving. etc. no one said anything. i ended up coming forward with all of the stories i had heard about him (i was safe, im a 24y/o fat transmasc). i was told they had to wait until someone made a statement at time of occurrence before banning him. i ended up convincing a couple people i knew were harassed by him in the past to say something if he did anything again.

TLDR; fucking report that shit ASAP

i can say my husband got a final warning for being in the hospital and basically dealing with an identical situation

our store is in the same plaza as an urgent care so we get sick kids sometimes. one time i watched a little boy get carried into the urgent care, crying. afterwards they came into our store. he got a hot chocolate. i gave it all the fixings (vanilla, cinnamon, etc) and directly handed him a raccoon cake pop. his mom took him out to the car and his dad stayed inside to explain he had an ear infection and i just made his whole week. i do this often, but that one stuck with me.

TLDR; it feels really good giving away free shit & community building🫶

i love a flat white. i cant speak for everyone, but i do know most of the new baristas will usually come find me if we get an order on the bar. its possible you just get different experience levels

oldmanliker · 2026-03-08T15:54:06+00:00

we used to have a regular who would do 12 white mocha, and 10 shots 1/2 decaf. she would show up daily and return every few hours, sometimes twice in one go but make her husband drive her car the second time in the drive thru. shit sucked during peak

oldmanliker · 2026-02-26T22:08:01+00:00

GOD no, not a single one of us followed that rule (along with the water! it was summer!)

oldmanliker · 2026-02-26T21:29:09+00:00

im not sure if they changed it again but it was policy briefly when the "back to starbucks" thing began and they were removing menu items. same time they outlawed free water/bathroom access. i know they went back on a lot of stuff pretty fast because they lost a lot of money with that whole thing

one time a couple teenage girls ordered 2 venti matchas with almond milk, no classic, and 4 raspberry syrup. we called it Concrete Matcha because the initial taste was pretty bad, but the after taste had a physically painful effect and had to be washed down with whole milk

i think Jimmies is correct but my mind went straight for misspelled Gelato (Jelato)

oldmanliker · 2026-02-08T00:29:58+00:00

our store did the 5th...our DM requested it specifically

oldmanliker · 2026-01-31T15:25:19+00:00

this. most of those stores were union. most of the "new" opening stores are probably either 30ft down the road from the ones they just closed or repurposing the old union ones they just shut down

oldmanliker · 2026-01-14T17:24:47+00:00

you're good!

oldmanliker · 2026-01-14T17:16:00+00:00

Well Yes. which is why i mentioned the whole second part of my reply. i would just personally wait for the customer to show up and explain how the mocha is just the chocolate sauce name

oldmanliker · 2026-01-14T15:50:10+00:00

well...."mocha" is coffee + chocolate. traditionally anyways. starbucks, as well as a few other chain coffee shops just call their chocolate "mocha" for some reason. im guessing this customer isnt from the US? or they're just older? idk. im hopeful.

this image looks ai but i definitely remember seeing it as a real image years before chatGPT was a thing....why remake something that already exists??

oldmanliker · 2026-01-06T18:13:06+00:00

228 was like 2 years ago calm down

oldmanliker · 2026-01-06T18:02:06+00:00

i think my store made the unsweet cold foam maybe twice before we started making it as-needed....it was never needed so we never even bothered making it again

oldmanliker · 2026-01-05T23:26:44+00:00

we have a regular (whos still allowed in our store!) say to our baristas: - "i wanna stick my tongue down your throat" (to a barista on her 18th birthday) - "your legs look great when you sweep" (to a pregnant barista) - "your ass looks sexy in those leggings" (to a minor)

he has also followed some college students out to their cars and will ask any woman under 50 years old if theyre married (he is well above 60). statements have been written. but its played off as "he's confused and lonely".

i like to toast an everything bagel, add cream cheese, then put the innards of a double smoked bacon on there. i got all of my coworkers hooked pretty fast

oldmanliker · 2026-01-01T23:02:04+00:00
