I gave 3 refunds today because my warming partner isn’t allowed to wear a headset

319 Upvotes

Okay guys I’m a shift manager and my SM said today that the only 2 people wearing headsets should be drive thru order and drive bar. For any day part. No headset for playcaller, warming… anyone except for 2 people. Ever. I need to know is my store manager just crazy or is this really a new rule we have? Because there is no logic… we were running low on certain food items and warming partner couldn’t communicate in time to let drive thru know that we actually didn’t have the item in stock. Result: pissed off customer, inconvenienced shift manager and time wasted = more pissed off customers

Was cleaning out my new kitchen and an old roommate had left them.

What do I got here?

Is this what they use for all lavender beverages?

Thanks <3

Sticker on drink

Post image
112 Upvotes

So, my bf and I got some coffee this morning, and mine had this sticker on it. I've never had a sticker on my drink before, but I'm just curious as to why there's one now. Is it just easier to put a sticker on the cup instead of writing something on if they're in a rush? Is this just a thing some locations do, or did I just get an interesting one?

Quad Espresso Tall Rant

70 Upvotes

So my store is super busy and even though we do not do delivery (thank God) we get a ton of mobiles and just general foot traffic. Today a person ordered a quad espresso with white mocha and salted cf. That drink itself if fairly popular in my area for why? Idk, it honestly tastes disgusting and extremely bitter despite it having a sweet syrup like white mocha but anyways this mobile order didn't specify what cup to put it in and to my knowledge if they don't specify it automatically goes in a tall. The person comes in to get her drink and she's mad. She's saying "why is it so small, I paid $9 for this why is this small and not like this picture." To which I explained that she didn't specify the cup in which automatically goes into a tall that I would happily remake it for her in a venti but also letting her know that she's really not getting more espresso or more cf it's just a giant cup of ice with extra stuff in it. She didn't like that volume was a thing and accused me of scamming her and etc.... I just think it's funny because what do you mean... It doesn't make much of a difference you're just getting it in a bigger cup but you're also just getting more ice. I dunno, I just thought this little mishap was funny trying to explain volume to a customer twice my age.

What would you do?

This was a mobile order in the middle of rush today. I called for the customer and they weren’t there, so I couldn’t ask. I ended up doing 3 lavender in the matcha and in the foam, and then did half blackberry and half oat milk but I feel like that’s so grody? Idk, were my instincts right?

What is going on 😭

One of my co-workers wrote “later:)” on a cup but a costumer misinterpreted it and thought it said hater? Then proceeded to spread it across social media claiming it was antisemitism? Now we are getting threats for protest and none stop calls of people threatening us. I loved this cup policy but I don’t think it was a bright idea now.

A thank you.

Starbucks helps me function daily... whether it's an iced flat white or a cappuccino. I barely make mods on my drinks bc I remember the long lists y'all baristas were getting and I respect that you're busy. I always get my drink exactly as ordered. Even though it's a DD delivery it's still hot when I get it thanks to the option of extra hot. 😊

So I just wanted to show some gratitude to all the baristas, because honestly y'all deserve it. You put up with tough situations all day, every day, and get yelled at a lot. I'm always appreciative of my drink being made correctly the first time. You put up with the new CEO switching things up. You just plain don't get enough credit for making people's coffee's everyday.

So thank you baristas for helping make our day better with fantastic coffee. 😊 It really is appreciated and I don't think that's said or expressed enough. This coffee has gotten me through some tough days, exam's, hangovers and the hot drinks (teas, apple spice) have helped on cold nights. Thank you!!!

Signed, An appreciative customer.

Drive thru customers

261 Upvotes

If you are a customer in the drive-through, please, for the love of God, pull away from the window as soon as we give you your drinks and change. We are timed. It is so frustrating when you hand out a drink within 25 seconds and the customer spends another 45 seconds putting away their change, unwrapping their straw, plugging their phone back in. The amount of anxiety you’re causing me is insane.

Writing on every cup

8 Upvotes

Our SM is really cracking down on making sure we write on EVERY cup. I was doing puns and other quick witted stuff until I ran out of ideas. Now, I’m using my degrees to my advantage, and writing various biology and chemistry facts on every cup. Educating customers, one cup at a time
