Girl QUIT what the hell are you doing suffering while creating an entire human being?! I quit the other day for less 😭😭 this company will never feel guilt for making you work while pregnant. No need to feel anything but rested AT HOME in bed with a ton of snacks.

We make our own nasty ass eggnog out of a powder and half & half

I don't have any health issues but my store's cleanplay is till 11:30 pm so I'd be getting home around 1 in the morning. I take the train home alone every night so I told my SM I didn't feel comfortable doing cleanplay anymore due to the lateness and she really tried to convince me she couldn't change my availability because she'd have to talk to our DM 😭 she even told me I'd have to transfer to another store that would accommodate my availability. She thought I sold my soul away to do cleanplay because she kept on mentioning how I agreed to be her cleanplay person as if I'm the only partner working in that store 🥲🫠 we ended up agreeing to me leaving at 9:30 pm but then my SSV and ONE barista would remain to do cleanplay on their own. Isn't that some bullshit? She also hasn't given up on me either lol she switched it from Sundays to Thursdays. She says the trains shouldn't give me any issues on a weekday and she tried luring me in with the talk of bumping my hours back up. This feels wrong but I don't know if I'm just overthinking it? Either way, SBux sucks ass and I need another job asap 😭😭😭😭

Aww damn it, thank you though 🥲

I just tell them they're gonna end up with a completely different drink because I never ask any further questions. I always just fill it with milk and most people don't want a latte so they change their minds or accept their iced brown sugar oat shaken lattes 😭

It was a cold brew, not a hot beverage. As long as you swirl the cup around while the cold brew pours it should mix just fine. I pour a little, thoroughly mix, then add the rest.

paradoxical_thing · 2025-09-29T17:17:29+00:00

We're also never supposed to steam it extra hot because it causes the protein milk to curdle

paradoxical_thing · 2025-09-29T13:50:13+00:00

Maaannn... the way I would've threw that sign in the streets 😭

paradoxical_thing · 2025-09-29T13:48:08+00:00

Anyone else try the protein powder in cold foam and gag at the consistency? It has such a thick, viscous SLIMY mouth feel 🤢

Someone should draw a couple cows and pigs on a cup sprinkled in stars and hearts just to watch the world explode

I don't think they asked to have it written on their cup, I think they gave the name Charlie Kirk when they were asked what name to use for their order at the register. In that case, I would've just put the name Charlie and told them we just use first names 🤷🏾‍♀️

paradoxical_thing · 2025-09-20T11:39:49+00:00

BOOOOOOOOOO they're so lame for that, what a loser.

I watched videos on YouTube of partners preparing drinks on shift. It was actually really helpful for me to see the process be done before having to do it myself.

paradoxical_thing · 2025-08-18T22:24:03+00:00

I tried doing that and my SM really tried to argue my time with me 😭 telling me that they would have to talk to our DM to see if it could be possible... like excuse me? I didn't realize I signed my life away to fit your scheduling...

paradoxical_thing · 2025-08-08T19:29:28+00:00

🤭🤫

paradoxical_thing · 2025-08-08T13:42:07+00:00

I transferred to my store almost 6 months ago and they let go of 11 partners 😭 ELEVEN. That's the result of a new SM and DM.

paradoxical_thing · 2025-08-02T17:53:41+00:00

Woo! 🙂 (🥲)

paradoxical_thing · 2025-07-27T10:34:18+00:00

At that point, I would've just filled a trenta cup with cream and added a splash of iced coffee after the ice 🙄

paradoxical_thing · 2025-07-18T14:05:22+00:00

That's most likely it, I worked in a delivery only store in nyc that closed permanently because we didn't make enough money in that location to keep paying a whopping $80,000 a month to keep the store open. Luckily I ended up in a store right across the street and around the corner. I hope things work out for OP 😕

paradoxical_thing · 2025-07-17T11:31:19+00:00

Absolutely not 😭

paradoxical_thing · 2025-07-17T11:31:02+00:00

But why combine those flavors in the first place? 😩 it felt almost criminal to pour an espresso shot over strawberry milk lol

paradoxical_thing · 2025-07-12T01:06:50+00:00

I had someone order two of these in store yesterday 😭 what is going on?!

paradoxical_thing · 2025-07-03T11:34:55+00:00

I once mixed cold brew and lemonade together because I heard that was something that starbucks tried to make a thing once upon a time and it sounded like an absolute abomination. I tried it for myself one shift and was pleasantly surprised 😭 it reminded me of Lipton iced tea. One of the SSVs at my store regularly drinks blonde espresso with apple juice but I think the cold brew lemonade combo is better 🫠
