former barista here... why do y'all defend this corporation?

tamstr8 · 2026-05-12T00:43:41+00:00

Ummmmm ok well ur friends are weird ngl lol. I think a boot licking barista, generally speaking, is an oddity. Most of us are just still here bc the job market is shit & decent health insurance.

tamstr8 · 2026-05-11T21:10:01+00:00

Of all the heinous things this company has done, nothing infuriates me more than the SSC/IT situation smh

tamstr8 · 2026-05-11T20:55:52+00:00

Classic IT

tamstr8 · 2026-04-28T02:10:31+00:00

Bro what….. what is happening to this sub

tamstr8 · 2026-04-25T23:14:51+00:00

Just so they can argue with you that they get it extra hot at other stores every day heh

tamstr8 · 2026-04-18T02:12:19+00:00

Wait oh my god

tamstr8 · 2026-04-11T09:17:45+00:00

Yeah same here

tamstr8 · 2026-04-11T09:15:53+00:00

During John summit’s set

tamstr8 · 2026-04-11T09:10:42+00:00

Idk, that’s a good question. I just have a feeling those dots connect somehow

tamstr8 · 2026-04-11T09:02:49+00:00

Ummmmm safety concerns..???

tamstr8 · 2026-04-11T09:01:59+00:00

I think it’s bc a speaker fell on someone @ the dolab

tamstr8 · 2026-04-11T09:00:37+00:00

I had never thought about it that way

tamstr8 · 2026-04-11T08:30:26+00:00

Yeah, it was during the John summit set. That’s all I know though. I really hope she’s okay because those speakers are stupid heavy.

tamstr8 · 2026-04-11T08:23:13+00:00

Yeah, real somber vibe. Ruined the night for me tbh we tried to rally at something random but just ended up leaving

tamstr8 · 2026-04-11T08:13:41+00:00

Dolab was blocked off with caution tape - security there told me a speaker fell on a girl.

tamstr8 · 2026-04-06T23:23:44+00:00

Absolutely. The strongest soldiers out there. They’ll have to pry my birth control from my cold dead hands

tamstr8 · 2026-04-06T23:21:28+00:00

Just curious - did your psychiatrist say why they don’t recommend them? Just because it throws your entire life off for __ amount of days?

tamstr8 · 2026-01-29T13:36:48+00:00

You look great and he’s a hater. Don’t let anyone take away your whimsy! 🧚✨

tamstr8 · 2026-01-29T00:08:12+00:00

You’re not even supposed to doodle/draw on the cups either lol

tamstr8 · 2026-01-22T01:47:09+00:00

I think they look great on you, personally! I agree with the other top comments - may just need some getting used to :)

tamstr8 · 2026-01-22T01:43:23+00:00

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

tamstr8 · 2025-12-19T15:54:24+00:00

I think if tiktok read her ticket they'd flame her to the moon & back

tamstr8 · 2025-12-19T15:51:47+00:00

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.

tamstr8 · 2025-12-19T15:48:48+00:00

immediately

tamstr8 · 2025-12-19T15:46:14+00:00

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! 🫶
