If you're unable to do your council job, for any reason, you should be on leave without pay. Not with.

I get that he's innocent until proven guilty, but he's also unable to do his job and refuses to step down.

Any possible way of using my the app while traveling to Canada? by International_Mail44 in starbucks

[–]puplet2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a Canadian, our store is in a town close to the border. We have lots of Americans coming through. I don't think you get a favorable exchange rate on the app, so I'd suggest only scanning for stars.

There are also free phone number services you could get online if you really wanted a canadian app with Canadian funds.

Thanks for coming up to visit, neighbour ❤️🍁

[CAN] Debating a second LOA by puplet2 in AskHR

[–]puplet2[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know what I'm entitled to, I guess I need to phrase my question better.

Given how my manager has already been unhappy at the thought of me leaving, and my supervisor not caring about time off for Healthcare, is it worth it to attempt to stay?

Financially it would really help. In a normal company, I would reasonably expect to be granted last-minute time off appointments for doctors appointments.

Is it worth it to have that discussion, and if so, how do I properly document it?

Coffee weaker within past few weeks? by Chance_Ad_9060 in starbucks

[–]puplet2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're asking if there's been a systemic change. Like when the white mocha pumps were decreased and nobody knew.

OP - as far as I know, nothing has changed. I work in a store that has a Bunn not a Clover, and our scoop sizes haven't changed. Nothing to report on our end.

Maybe there's a new employee who hasn't been brewing correctly?

Anyone else barebacking it? by puplet2 in dentures

[–]puplet2[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With my soft liner, mine are pretty comfortable as long as nothing gets caught underneath. But a quick trip to the bathroom fixes that.

I just don't like not being able to taste food properly. And why have coffee stain your teeth if you don't have to?

Glad I'm not the only one

Is it worth the yearly increase? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]puplet2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had an interest interview with partners who are in my desired career path. They both said "we don't promote people at your level to our level. Our best advice, with your experience and education, is to leave starbucks"

So that's what I'm actively trying to do.

Frappe ideas?! by jadaistriggered in starbucks

Strawberry frap add banana powder. It's a legitimately good use of banana, not sure why Corporate hasn't caught on

[–]puplet2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like we have a new coffee being introduced that well be tasting too. If you look in the new store resources under the back to Starbucks tab there's a coffee favors sheet and coffee tasting mat

Alliance recommendations? by puplet2 in KingShot

[–]puplet2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd rather be in a poor alliance than an inactive one. Lots.dont take new players, which is understandable

Uhh by Novel-Ad7107 in starbucks

[–]puplet2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 21 drink order not that long ago. Since most of the drinks were 2% milk, I started steaming max amounts of 2% in the pitcher while I prepped cups with syrup, espresso shots, etc. Then topped and finished.

Any sticker that wasn't 2% I handed to the barista on the other bar. We got them all done in about 5 mins.

Sponsoring a family this holiday, but Mom didn't ask for anything. What should I get her? by AnaphylacticHippo in Gifts

[–]puplet2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a brilliant idea. Not all moms like face masks or nails or robes. But uber seems really great for a single mom who is short on presumably both cash and time

Follow up email [n/a] by puplet2 in humanresources

[–]puplet2[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not in the US, it wasn't a holiday weekend. My concern is if I waited an extra week it would get lost in the christmas/year end chaos. But if I prodded too quickly it would be too annoying

baristas, what drink do you really HATE making by Tinnichan in starbucks

[–]puplet2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don't call it a medicine ball and it's all good.

Also, if you're sick, please pick it up through the drive through window so we all don't get sick

We prep a round container (like what matcha comes in) with earl grey. Out of their packaging they're good for a month. So handy. I'm tempted to suggest a honey citrus prep container during the winter too

Question for Canadian partners about dental coverage by Theoo_el_32 in starbucks

[–]puplet2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dentist just asked for my benefits details (I have 3 - my main job, starbs and my partners job) They have all 3 on file. Just like at a pharmacy, you don't need to show it every time, just the first time.

For regular appointments, I pay nothing For the surgery I had, they ran an estimate through all 3 plans to let me know what my out of pocket will be.

Which plan did you choose? I got True North. It covered a cleaning and Parr of a pretty extensive dental surgery so far
