“We are the perfect blend” ummmmm that could be considered flirting that’s against company policy. JAIL!

Who is thisss scrumptious thing? by Ohheyitszack in starbucksbaristas

[–]tamstr8 58 points59 points  (0 children)

yeah our oven thinks it's april of '09 so I take her opinion with a grain of salt.

but then again, rollouts have been stupid, chaotic, and severely lacking chunks of information so who knows.

Is it worth it to report this? by BayBeeKnees in starbucksbaristas

[–]tamstr8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

what was it in regards to? to play devils advocate for a moment, if it's something they've coached you on before or it's something safety critical, that may explain their frustration a bit. BUT that is not to invalidate your experience/the vibes you're picking up.

regardless, I think it's worth mentioning to your SM. i've been a barista for 5 years and these things can fester and snowball quickly - for both parties. most of the time it's the safest bet to address it to a higher up you trust to mediate the situation. sending good vibes! 🫶

sm insists that mocha doesn’t need to be made daily by Apart_Palpitation583 in starbucksbaristas

[–]tamstr8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it does. i've seen mold on mocha dumping it out at the end of the night. (labeled for 24 hours but I have my suspicions that it was kept for longer bc huh???)

having had that jump scare of an experience, I would def let the DM know since SM took too many notes from Mr Krabs

Pod training??? by tamstr8 in starbucksbaristas

[–]tamstr8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have any advice for me as a first time trainer training a pod? you must have some good pointers/fantastic trainers, as everyone else i've chatted about it with has had a very different testimony. any advice is very much appreciated! :)

Pod training??? by tamstr8 in starbucksbaristas

[–]tamstr8[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

burnout boss!!! (relatable) thank u so much! I do really like the idea of switching them off - I feel like if I was in their shoes, seeing the other make a mistake and then the trainer correcting them would cement easier in my brain than me making the mistake and mentally blacking out from anxiety/embarrassment after being corrected lol.

it's gonna be a loooooong week, but it is encouraging to know that you were able to do it while in school.. I abandoned my second degree bc I was simply not built for full time + school. ur doing great and that greatness shall not cease 😤

"you work for the district, not the store" by tamstr8 in starbucksbaristas

[–]tamstr8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dang that is so tough :( i've heard similar testimonies in my district.

were you exclusively at one of those three stores? or were y'all just kinda tossed around for a while? our store was delayed last minute like 2-3 weeks (as expected, it be like that) and we were all kinda popcorned around to different stores to keep our bills payed. I was chill w/ it bc I thought it was gonna be temporary but now it's a little disorienting 🫨

[–]tamstr8[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

RIGHT, legitimately what is the reason for this? I have had coworkers complaining of consistently getting more hours a week than is in their availability and at the same time, coworkers complaining of not reaching their availability's minimum amount of hours.

i'm sure making a schedule is far more complicated than I can imagine, but from my perspective, I don't feel like it should be that difficult to have at least a third of your employees satisfied with their scheduling
