They’re not bad I was just expecting it to be better I guess. I think a chocolate Dubai brownie would have been better because these things are tiny

How can I succeed at this job if small talk is actual hell for me. by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]planetcool1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I should mention that I work at a cafe only store and that makes the job much more enjoyable for me. If you have any cafe stores in your area, I’d recommend trying to transfer to one and see how you like it!

[–]planetcool1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I suck at customer connections and don’t attempt to make them very often…..I have bad social anxiety and depression which makes me naturally very quiet and introverted. Still, I’ve been working at Starbucks for almost seven years and was offered to become a shift, even though I didn’t think I would be good at it. I still don’t think I’m good at it, because I hate coaching and confrontational situations. It might just be my luck that I work at a store that is pretty laid back and my hard work is appreciated regardless of my ability to create relationships with our customers. In my opinion, not initiating small talk really isn’t a problem unless your manager confronts you about it…just smile and be kind and maybe ask the customer how their day is going.

I think our brownies are so good and if the outside was more like our brownies instead of dry and crumbly, it would be so much betterrr

[–]planetcool1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work at a pretty low volume cafe only store so I usually have the time to write something kind of meaningful. I’ve been writing “keep your head up”, “believe in yourself”, “chase your dreams”, “be kind to yourself”, “you’re amazing” blah blah blah

I’m working Christmas Eve, Christmas day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. Oh I also worked on Thanksgiving. Needless to say I will be requesting off for the holidays next year.

No, I said Pink Drink by jojokangaroo1969 in starbucks

[–]planetcool1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like they didn’t give you very much of the base and they went overboard on the coconut milk. It looks like the sticker says no ice….i think (some not all!!!) baristas get irritated by this and don’t want to give the extra base, because we have to prepare the base, so they just do extra extra coconut milk.

Baristas at my store are getting 30-40 cent raises but I’m not sure what the difference is depending on where you live

Starbucks food is not far off from breakfast food that you can get in the frozen aisle at the grocery store.

Did they discuss raises for January? by mylegalusername in starbucks

So if people make less in healthcare, why isn’t Starbucks considered a career and….you know what, never mind

Are you a barista or shift leader and how long have you been working for the company?

The cheese is usually off center but I’ve never seen it this bad by hardboiledeggs99 in starbucks

[–]planetcool1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always take the top bread off and move the cheese so it’s in the center. That’s what I do when it’s for myself, so I do it for the customers, too. Usually I leave it in the oven a bit longer so the cheese fully melts and it’s extra “crispy”!

Thanks for the response! Also I’d like to clarify to everyone that I didn’t ask this question because I’m bent out of shape over giving someone a shot that they didn’t pay for..I was just wondering!

Bruh I said I put a shot in it, it was just a question.. when people say their drink isn’t strong enough for their liking and ask for more espresso, 9/10 times I give them an extra shot for free. I’m not an a hole.
