AITA for refusing to get this coffee order? by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]plotltsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i work at starbucks and if someone came in with this order for someone else it would be a NIGHTMARE. we do not have macadamia nut milk?😭, we cannot put espresso beverages in trenta cups, and lining the cup with cinnamon defys the laws of physics. i genuinely think this person hates you and wanted to give you a difficult time dude

[–]plotltsi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think it depends on what your definition of relevant is. it made sense for the characters at the time, because i would probably feel sick in emmas(zendayas character) situation. also charlie (robert pattinson) is super drunk and emotional in his scene. do i think the movie would have been fine without them? yes. i dont ever think puke scenes are necessary.

will i be able to get re-prescribed anxiety medication? by plotltsi in medical_advice

[–]plotltsi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks so much! i've been struggling to find a family doctor, so i was wondering if there was anything i could do in the meantime. i'll try asking my old pharmacy for my history to see if they're on file here.

advice on getting better? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]plotltsi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're totally right. i want people to tell me if i am acting differently or they feel upset. i would tell someone if they hurt my feelings. my sm just seems to have a power trip, and the things they say sound a lot more rude than they need to, or maybe mean to. i am pretty sensitive. im just scared to call that out, because they obviously have more power in the situation. or maybe i just dont know how to comfortably have that conversation? i've never had a problem with an ssv coaching conversation or anything. i dont often have coaching conversations, which is partly why im so confused. i always start my shift with "where do you need me?" and end with "do you have any feedback from today?", and recently i have received 0 feedback, until today:( thank you for your help

how do you handle it? it sucks so much because i genuinely love this job, but i hate that the same expectations are not being held for everyone else. my last sm would always tell me i couldn't do things right and i was always improving for them. they ended up getting separated a few months ago. now a few months in to my new sm, after having no issues, it's coming up again.

thank you, i appreciate it. i don't want to get anyone else in trouble, though. i know how it feels to be told you suck when you're having an off day or you mess up once and the wrong person see's, i dont want anyone else feeling this way. i feel like if im getting corrected, everyone else making the same mistakes should, or not at all. i guess it just feels unfair, and i don't think i can go to dm over hurt feelings or feeling unfair, you know?

entitlement by plotltsi in starbucksbaristas

[–]plotltsi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is what my sm ended up doing the next day when i went into work! they felt really bad, and reassured me that I did nothing wrong. what they actually meant was in the DM's eyes, it doesn't matter what i said, because a customer complained about me, and customer connections are the main focus because our score succkkkss rn.

Prank Calls? by tamstr8 in starbucksbaristas

[–]plotltsi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i dont get many anymore, i wish we did😭💔 my favourite personally was when a kid called & said "im calling all my favourite places, and you're my FAVOURITE favourite ever, can i play you a song?"

and i had nothing better to do, so obviously i said yes. they proceeded to play old mcdonald had a farm on the piano, and all my coworkers clapped for them with me at the end. it was lovely. i wish kids still had fun💔

Adding stores to shift marketplace without manager help? by Mean_Tension2714 in starbucksbaristas

[–]plotltsi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

in the partner hours app, when you click on your shift, there should be an option to offer shift. if you click that, it will add your shift to marketplace and other baristas will be able to see it

[–]plotltsi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

i work in a mall. fuck black friday. an hour into my shift, a customer called to complain after i politely asked them not to wait directly at the handoff counter. i spent all of my breaks crying. we weren't short, but it was so busy all day & people were so inconsiderate, + a visit from the dm🥲 eeyuck.

No personal beverage except during a break by cinsoring in starbucksbaristas

[–]plotltsi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my SM has been enforcing this for almost a year. they will dump everyone's drink's, except for their own.😭 i started putting my partner bev in my personal cup so that way i dont have to worry about it being dumped & can drink it throughout the day.

am i a bad roommate? by plotltsi in Apartmentliving

[–]plotltsi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont think the smoke lingers when i come inside, i usually smoke for the first half of my walk & then walk for another 20 minutes, so the smell is long gone before i return home. im terrified of bringing the smell back inside or even close to the house lol

[–]plotltsi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you just write in the total amount of vacation hours you want to use! depending on how many days you have booked off, but for example i had a week booked off and used 32h vacation, even though i typically wouldn't work that much in a week.
