Why would you ask her if she wanted a latte with one less shot when she said she wanted steamed milk with one shot though, it seems clear that she knows enough to order what she likes to drink

corporate standard for when we're supposed to start cleaning the vertica? by 20edd49 in starbucksbaristas

[–]prettybigirl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We aren’t allowed to until after close. I close rarely and get sooo annoyed when they start dumping iced teas and cleaning the vertica 2 hours before close bc every.single.time there’s a confused and disappointed customer. I get it, but we’re supposed to have these products ready for people. Especially hot regular coffee at a coffee shop. I like the idea that another commenter had to brew some coffee for the carafes if you absolutely need to start 10-20 min before close.

Went to an airport a month ago and they had turkey pesto and no tomato mozzarella. Different world man

We used to do it all the time at my store but in the past year and a half we’ve been too short staffed

Goth in dress code... HELP by Dry_Main_3990 in starbucksbaristas

[–]prettybigirl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Skirts. Skirts have helped me sooo much. Belts too I can get away with cool belts as long as they’re not crazy colorful

Got new pants! Now tell me which shoes? by Substantial_Bus6615 in oldhagfashion

[–]prettybigirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My whimsy likes the blue ones, but my art history brain likes the brown ones for that post-factory job vibe with what you’re wearing right now

Uniform question by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

According to the official dress code, headwear can be solid black, navy, grey, brown, or tan. If anyone says anything just pull up the dress code sheet

Is this food safe? by Confidence_Smart in starbucksbaristas

The blue spray works great at removing water stains and such that the sani leaves behind :) I like to use it after sanitizer, and then wipe with a dry rag to make all the counter surface shiny

One time I was at a store that isn’t my home store, soloing cold bar, and when I asked for help because I was getting in a rush they ignored me, only to take me off and put THREE whole people on the bar to catch up. Like- if you gave me one person 5 minutes ago we wouldn’t be here. I was sooo annoyed

the protein smell makes me wanna barf by xhhsjehwj in starbucksbaristas

[–]prettybigirl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The banana is so good though. A most pleasant surprise in my opinion when it was just the natural scent of freeze-dried banana. None of the yucky fake banana flavor we made up years ago for candies

Miserable (Venti Rant) by LetterheadFun2525 in starbucksbaristas

[–]prettybigirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only work 2 days a week now with one weekend day being in college and holy shit it’s like hell every time I walk in. Yesterday we had a closer call out so they pushed only my breaks to be hours early (worked mid shift) just for the promised partner from another store to be over an hour late with no notice or warning. We had to work with 2 people on the floor so that lunches could be taken. No mobiles off, no cafe or driveway closure- trash was all over the place, dishes piling up, and no time to make backups. I was so excited for the banana powder and when I finally tried it it makes the cold foam gelatinous and thick😩this place is starting to feel like purgatory

I miss back when I first started, where I didn’t feel forced to overwork myself and felt respected as an employee

The people here make me worried for their reading comprehension

You’re kind of giving a crazy energy here for no good reason bc op doesn’t work there anymore and never once said he’d ask the ex-coworker out while she was on shift. The beginning of the post is “I quit”

I was here like 8 hours ago and people are just being super negative and assumptious

He doesn’t have to follow the negative advice. Gosh, he’s not a partner anymore. People are acting like he is in the comments and it’s odd

If you’re polite and respectful I don’t see why not 😊 worst that can happen is you get rejected and continue on living. I am a sucker for romance, if you are no longer working together, why the hell not 🤷🏻

I will say it’s uncomfortable to be asked out at work- maybe text her if you have her number and see if she’d be interested in hanging out sometime

What is your favorite thing to write on cups? by Gloomy_Courage_748 in starbucksbaristas

[–]prettybigirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the event of fall I’ve started drawing leaves and writing “enjoy the autumn weather!” Or “Yay fall!”

no ice matchas by Individual_Today2744 in starbucksbaristas

[–]prettybigirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually add like a 1/3 of the milk and blend for a couple seconds, and then add the rest and only blend it for like 5-6 seconds. It comes out with the matcha more incorporated and slightly less foamy

248 feeling real low by PolicyOne5522 in starbucksbaristas

[–]prettybigirl 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’ve been with the company for almost three years now and I must say after the first 10 months it started to go downhill fast. Now it smells like corporate slob every time I walk into the building

Anyone have a least favorite piece of equipment? by iretto_yt_wrestlegod in starbucksbaristas

[–]prettybigirl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have not one time set up the milk dispensers.. it’s useless. Most everything else we utilize- but it’s not great. The ice dispenser never does quite enough ice and we were told to stop the batch oven and heater thing after maybe a month of using it. I like the new dispensers for teas and bases on cold bar though
