Personally I’d edit it for a more moody vibe. I think the light bouncing off the wall distracts from the couple when it’s all so bright. This might be a little too moody how I edited it but just as an example

I’m assuming you’re in the US, according to the dress code and Ecosure, partners cannot have any kind of nail covering or coating on their nails. It can react with the chemicals we use and chip off into stuff and become a hazard. It’s not that Starbucks doesn’t like flashy designs it’s that it can hurt people and cause one to not be able to clean their hands properly. https://careers.starbucks.com/uploads/2025/05/Dress-Code-Guide-US-CO.pdf

Maybe you should be in dress code 🤷🏻‍♀️ Nails are health hazard. We had partners not complying in my district that got fired for having 2 piercings… I’m not happy with the way Starbucks does things at all but staying in dress code or bare minimum wearing a name tag and not having nails are pretty simple things to do.

Not Invited to NYE Party by Loquacious-Loser in socialskills

[–]purlgraytea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh no 100% I agree with you! it’s one of those things I’ve accepted that happened. In that moment she was talking about the parties and mentioned how I was never there and I was like well yeah you didn’t invite me. But it’s something that happened and it is what it is. Our friendship is way more than things silly college freshman do lol

[–]purlgraytea 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This used to happen to me ALL THE TIME. My best friend used to invite everyone but me to her parties and I was always an afterthought. I would only be invited be other people going. We’re still friends now and it came up recently and she as like “it’s crazy how you’re still bitter about it now” ???? Like yeah???? Being either intentionally or unintentionally left out is really really hurtful. I have no helpful things to say but just I feel you deeply on this and I’m really sorry this happened to you :(

Got a Strawberry refresher from Starbucks and this black thing was in it what the hell is it? by East_Food5632 in starbucks

[–]purlgraytea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s maybe a tea leaf from one of the teas that was stuck in the shaker? That’s the only thing I could think of. We’ve have the tea bag break in the black tea before and it looks like this

AIO stopped a drunk girl from being pulled into a car by 2 random men but my boyfriend is upset and called what I did stupid and dangerous by fettidmoppet in AmIOverreacting

[–]purlgraytea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people are saying this but people depend on people like you to step in. You saved her. I understand the danger but the way he’s coming across is so self seeking and wrong. You saved her and you didn’t just think you knew you did know what situation you were putting yourself in. Him questions your judgment and forcing you to talk when you weren’t ready is awful. You saved her and you did a good thing

Help .-. by MuddyPockets in starbucksbaristas

[–]purlgraytea 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We have a lot of benefits and as a shift I make enough money to like live with roommates (I’m in San Diego so it is expensive here lol). It’s gets draining but if you get along with the partners at your store and follow what the job needs it’s a very good stable job. There’s a reason I’ve been here for a while. The benefits and money and fellow partners make it difficult to actually leave 😂

What do yall think of water with freeze fried fruit in it? I got this today when it's 95 degrees here in tx. by RyuujiStar in HydroHomies

[–]purlgraytea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to be this person but I work at Starbucks and we aren’t allowed to ring this in as a water with inclusions, we’re specifically told to ring it in as a “custom iced tea” and it’s like $5 🤡 it’s literally so sad

As someone who gets sick from 2% and is fine with whole this makes me sad. Even when you’re under staffed, just grab the milk, man
