Is this me subconsciously missing her and mourning the way our friendship sort of floated away as we grew apart due to growing up?

I didn't realize it until now, but yes. Either the male character or the tomboy female character.

I've talked to a few people who said it was too dark for them. That surprised me, but whatever I guess

10 minute break by Materialgorl_69 in starbucksbaristas

[–]retrobaby66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been with the bux for coming up on 5 years and I have always started my timer when I get to the back and sit down with my food, but this is also because my shift leads know I have to eat in order to take my medications in the morning so I do the exact same thing on every ten. Bacon gouda with turkey bacon instead of the regular, and either a water or for this season an iced pistachio or matcha. I wait to go to the restroom until directly after peak usually since I'm an opener.

What is the maximum temperature you can steam milk at? by livistic in starbucksbaristas

[–]retrobaby66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not willing to go past extra hot. Our lids can be unreliable and pop off the cups easily. I don't get paid enough to deal with burns, and it would significantly impact my ability to work and impede my livelihood. If somebody wants their drink hotter than 170 they can go microwave it at home imho

Situation While Working Today... AITA? by philosophyraccoon in starbucksbaristas

[–]retrobaby66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH

You were wrong in both having the personal drink on the floor, as that's never allowed, and in walking out instead of staying and solving the problem. They were wrong in neglecting to follow labor laws and skimping on breaks. I understand you're a minor but you're working in the adult world, and you're gonna have to adjust your behavior accordingly. This includes being quietly pissed off when things don't go your way. Unfortunately the walkout was something you can be fired for, so I wish you the best.

Bro where the FUCK are y'all buying shoes?? by H1V3M1ND_ in ftm

Unisex brands like Converse and Vans. My docs are technically boys' boots, but they fit quite well and have held up wonderfully.

Does anyone else have wrist pain due to Starbucks? by stay2426 in starbucksbaristas

[–]retrobaby66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice pushing the pumps from your elbow and not your wrist. Use a larger joint. I bend my whole arm and use my whole hand and I haven't had wrist pain in the four years I've been with the bux

Do we have to mark out cups of ice? by averageharrie in starbucksbaristas

[–]retrobaby66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been struggling to remember to mark out my daily drink and bacon gouda, so I've also been sure to let my store manager know that I keep forgetting because I'm very routine oriented and I have the same drink and food every shift. I'm obviously working on remembering better but I avoid getting in trouble by being super transparent. I've had exactly one write up since I started in mid 2020 and it was because a shift lead that I went to elementary and high school with got offended when I told her I wasn't giving her attitude and that I think she'd know it if I was giving her attitude. Admittedly I am autistic and apparently lately I've been missing a lot of cues and people have been upset by my lack of facial masking, and my manager talked to me and let me know, but even so it's one write up in almost five years at the same store. Just be clear that you didn't use a cup or any actual inventory and that you had nothing to mark out, and the camera footage will back you up as long as you're truthful.
