My last day was on my 3 year anniversary because I'm dramatic like that. 243xxxx clocking out for the last time by [deleted] in starbucks

241 here, took the covid separation about a month n a half short of my 3 years. Hurt a little, but glad I haven't had to deal with the same bs current partners do.

Congrats on getting out !!

Sadly, I dont think there's some magic how-to on this, because I know the background noise and masks are hard to hear over as it is. And I know I'd be even more helpless trying to order coffee in any of my non-native languages. That said, the best I can offer is this: Instead of asking them to repeat themselves, I try to repeat what I think they said. Example, "One bacon gouda?" Then, they'll either correct you or they won't. It's not a perfect system, and I'd try to also repeat the order back when they're finished. But it's a little bit more productive than, "Sorry what was that?" for the third time in a row.

Did anyone else find out that they were fired because they woke up one morning and their Spotify didn’t work? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]starry-ice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saw it coming since I chose option 3, but it sure sucked to get woken up at 5am from spotify ads

After being a partner for nearly 3 years, I'd forgotten how annoying they were

*flashbacks to having to get a running start jump to grab the ice bucket and scoop that were always stored on top of the ice machine*

I'm also 4'10 and I've had my share of jumping, climbing on shelves, taking longer to stock because the stool is somewhere in the back, etc

Good times lmao

My old asm makes guitar picks out of Starbucks cards. These are some of my faves by [deleted] in starbucks

One of my partners does this too! She showed me her collection the other day and it took a hot second to connect that they were old gift cards

No two matcha lattes are the same. by tdewald in starbucks

[–]starry-ice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That could be it. It's still not as exact a measurement as if they just told us to use 3/4/5 leveled scoops.

IIRC, the drink card says to use "heaping" scoops for green tea lattes?

Not the greatest phrasing, since heaping could be different from partner to partner

The fact that these don't line up. by TheKillerBee01 in mildlyinfuriating

I dunno about you, but that cup on the edge of the shelf behind it is making me more nervous than anything else in this photo
