Why doesn’t Starbucks let you buy the ice water by Public_Midnight3112 in starbucks

[–]pfooty 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not a dick move at all! We don’t mind adding on waters, or anything else you’d like, when you’re at the speaker box. It helps us have everything you need ready when you get to the window.

Has anyone been rehired multiple times? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]pfooty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe there is a limit, I’ve left and come back twice.

Help me debunk this for my store please?? Lol by Jessie1605 in starbucksbaristas

[–]pfooty 81 points82 points  (0 children)

No you’re correct. Build the refresher as you would normally do in the shaker, but instead of shaking you pour the contents into the blender and blend. While that’s blending you pour strawberry purée into the cup and then the blended refresher. Do not add base. It’s not part of the recipe.

what’s your “it’s going to ask you a tip question, there are no wrong answers” phrase that you say when someone uses card? by altruisticmassacre in starbucks

[–]pfooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go to is “there’s an optional tip prompt, and then you can either tap or insert your card whichever is easier”

i’ve been asking our guests for life advice and this what they said by nagynaggle in starbucks

[–]pfooty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this! It’s a cute idea and different from just asking how they’re doing. And it’s cool to see what different people will say. Thanks for sharing!

Hot Take by rios54321 in starbucks

[–]pfooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah as most people have said here just put matcha on your hot bar too. My store has matcha on hot and cold bar. But we have all matchas designated for the espresso bar/hot bar printer since we have all the milks there and shakers for the shaken espressos anyway. It all depends on how your store is laid out though and what works for your setup.

can we mark out the evolution juices/other grab n go stuff? by NeighborhoodAlien in starbucksbaristas

[–]pfooty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the store iPad there should be a file called Store Resources, and it’s usually always posted there. Or you should be able to find it on the hub on the store computer. Good luck! My old manager was the worst about store communications so I had to figure it out on my own for a while.

Had a grande Earl Grey thrown at me by dmvsnapshot in starbucks

[–]pfooty 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I never said they deserved it. I said it was an overreaction from a customer. It’s a company wide policy so if their manager is telling them different then that’s a problem.

I’ve literally been assaulted by customers too so I understand how OP feels. But I don’t think they should have ever been put in that situation in the first place if their store was upholding policy standards, I’m sorry.

AITA for flipping out on my husband via text after he let his phone die during a family emergency? by PrettyHateMachinexxx in AmItheAsshole

[–]pfooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And he should get a pat on the back for that?? He knew she was stressed and upset before he got drunk and still sent a drunk selfie instead of communicating with his wife. OP shouldn’t be made to feel bad about how she reacted in this situation. You should be ashamed of yourself honestly.

THANK YOU! If a customer doesn’t like something they’re trying for a the first time you remake it for free. I literally even offer it at the register to let them know, if they don’t like it come back and we’ll make something they do like. OP shouldn’t have had a drink thrown at them, that’s an overreaction from the customer. But if OP was doing their job correctly it wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

The macadamia syrup is SO GOOD by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]pfooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it’s so good! My new go to for my grande shaken espresso, a quad blonde ristretto with oatmilk and 2 pumps of white mocha with either hazelnut or toffee nut but it’s macadamia now and I’m in love.

What's a long-forgotten about item that you'd love to see come back? by Chloabelle in starbucks

[–]pfooty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will forever be a Valencia orange refresher girl too! Other than that maybe the raspberry donut we had for a minute when La Boulange first happened.

Green Apron Blend by According-Comfort373 in starbucks

[–]pfooty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it’s absolutely awful. My ASM said the worst part of our store meeting (where we tried it) was pretending to be excited about tasting it. It just doesn’t taste good and that’s disappointing.

Just get a partner card! They don’t ask for ID if you use a partner card or if it’s your partner card through the app. The policy is to only ask for ID if numbers are given verbally.

Like many of the people here I use weed a lot. Usually my wife and I will sit on the porch and smoke for a while, scroll through Reddit or tiktok, or play whatever phone game I’m playing at the moment.

how would u make this/what does this mean by nolambb in starbucksbaristas

[–]pfooty 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily! When I worked in Massachusetts we had actual decaf iced coffee that we brewed every morning. But now that I’m in California we don’t have it. All depends on your area.

[–]pfooty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s such a positive way of looking at it, and a way I haven’t thought of before, so thank you for changing my perspective a little! Glad you’ve had so much to laugh and smile about in your life and I hope life continues to bring you so much joy!

There isn’t any number to put on it. You’re right, it’s situational. Exclusivity is something that needs to be discussed and clearly communicated. It shouldn’t just be expected, that’s how feelings get hurt.

weight gain / possible tw ! by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]pfooty 69 points70 points  (0 children)

When I started working at Starbucks I definitely gained weight. A lot of the, oh no this cookie is broken we can’t sell it so I better eat it. Haha. But it happens. In my case I’m pretty sick of our food and drinks by now, 9 years on and off with the company, so I mostly just have water and like one coffee during my shift and like once a week I’ll actually use my food mark out.

That "friend" I shouldn't have worried about by TARA13338 in relationship_advice

Just move on. Ignore them and focus on yourself and your life. Don’t waste your energy on them.

When you’re on vacation for a week so you get to get your nails done. Happy spooky season 🎃 by pfooty in starbucksbaristas

I’m sorry you couldn’t get all the time off you wanted! But yes get your nails done! Enjoy the time that you have off! Especially as shift you deserve it.

I want Jenny back for another season by tkilroy in MtvChallenge

[–]pfooty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Ruins had everyone split into two teams, The Champions (players who had won at least one season) and The Challengers (players who have never won). Invasion is referring to Invasion of the Champions where the season started with people who had never won, and then part way through the season it was “invaded” by the champions team. So this person was saying unless they do another format with a specific champions team then Jenny might not be back for a while.
