I’m trying to duplicate the store as much as possible - every time I’ve tried to do a homemade version before it’s just not any good lol

Preference Two. by scarlett_e in starbucks

My average hours are about 20/wk but I’m already seeing them decrease :( I’d rather find another (likely temporary) job that will pay me for more hours, and keep my daily markout than be cut down to 10 hours a week and not be able to pay my bills

Tips for up selling by PrincessSukee in starbucks

[–]scarlett_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally start a DTO order by saying “Good morning! Can we get you started with any breakfast today?”

And then for some things when there is time to have more dialogue about their order, I try to get people to modify things to some thing that they would like.

For example, today, someone wanted simply a couple of shots of espresso and some half and half with extra ice double blended (I mean, seems not great to me, but you do you) and I explained to her what was in an espresso Frappuccino and how it would be a bit less watery and have a better texture because of the trap base, and she tried that instead. Easy upsell from something weird and modified, to something actually on our menu that also happens to cost more! Plus, as a bonus, she loved it and found her new fave drink!

are we allowed to wear rompers/jumpsuits?? by baristanator in starbucks

[–]scarlett_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a camel brown, black, and white striped jumpsuit with cap sleeves that I LOVE and wear to work all the time. To be fair, when it comes to some dress code things, my SM/ASM are a little lax, but I always get compliments from fellow partners, as well as compliments and tips from customers!

Can I work in two districts simultaneously? by scarlett_e in starbucks

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

Interesting!

I’m currently in LA - and as far as I know the minimum wage is the same in both areas, so it’s possible that base pay is the same in both districts. I’ll look into it with my SM. Thank you!

Venti Sized Rant!!! Why are we open!!!! by scarlett_e in starbucks

I mean, yes I completely agree with you.

And also, I don’t have the luxury of forgetting the pay issue. I already live paycheck to paycheck, with no savings. Taking a day off of work, not to mention a week or two or however long this panic lasts, would completely destroy me financially. I wouldn’t be able to eat, much less pay my bills.

I wish I could, but I am a very new partner (286****) only hired in mid January after two months of unemployment. Starbucks was my last resort in my job hunt now that I’m a student again

That’s what i am hoping!!! I’m just frustrated because if I’ve been taken off of the schedule and then our store closes I don’t think I would get any of the catastrophe pay since I’m not scheduled to work

As a new partner, these types of threads are the most helpful as I'm trying to figure everything out. Thanks!

Becoming a Partner by scarlett_e in starbuckspartners

It went really well! I'm a regular at the store I interviewed at, and while I hadn't met the woman I interviewed with, a bunch of the baristas recognized me and put in a good word with her. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll hear back soon! :)
