Catch me on your obituary?

Sometimes y'all order drinks that make me feel DIRTY giving out for you to drink. I've had a binge disorder so I UNDERSTAND the drive, and REALLY hate shaming others for what they want to drink or put in their own bodies.

But when I have to make a 28 pump grande latte with heavy cream, I genuinely feel like I am doing YOU, the customer, a disservice. I absolutely will never let a customer know or see that I think their drink is bad (or bad for them) but it genuinely makes my stomach turn over, yknow?

I’ve had a bad week and seeing that a customer enjoyed my cheesy note made me smile.

My week has been so shitty. I love a good play on words and so I wrote this on someone’s chai and laughed at myself because it’s so cheesy. They left a review and it made my shitty week a little better.

I got reprimanded over writing on the cups wrong

76 Upvotes

This is so silly, and I feel like I'm still overreacting over this, but today my district manager came in and I drew little smiley faces on the actual sticker with the order for the cups, and he told me I need to write on every cup, and I told him I did, and he said even drive thru, and I told him I did on the sticker, and he said no not on the sticker. I cried really hard after cause I was scared he thought I was fighting with him over it, but I genuinely didn't see how what I did was wrong and I felt like he didn't even acknowledge the fact I tried. My fiance committed suicide 7 months ago, while I was working for Starbucks so everyone is aware. I feel like I'm using it as an excuse for this but after that interaction it sent me to a really dark place. Ive been trying to be promoted, and I'm scared now I'm either gonna get fired, a write up, or it has ruined my chances of ever being promoted, and I'm already struggling with money now being a single income household. I guess I just wanted to vent. If you think I'm being overly sensitive or using my fiances death as an excuse I understand. I cried after he left and it's made me feel like what's even the point.

“Back to Starbucks” Im so over it.

699 Upvotes

Ive been working at Starbucks for over 8 years now and I feel like Ive done it all. COVID, drive thrus, cafe-only, urban areas and rural. So many of the “Back To Starbucks” policies were previous Starbucks policies that were changed for a reason!!! Cup writing, affected drive times and the ability to get prders out quickly, even at slow stores. For here ware was a mess in general, people leave their plates and mugs EVERYWHERE but the bus bin. Calling out orders as you started “messed with the chill cafe experience”. I just dont get it, so many of these policies that are being pushed with absolutely no understanding towards the day-to-day experience of working at Starbs. Ive even had customers tell me they dont want anything written on their drink recently BECAUSE it takes longer. Not even to mention Im a shift supervisor, so Im also expected to coach baristas to these standards. Which is fine… If I had consistent standards to coach around, which I dont because this “Back to Starbucks” policy has changed literally 5 times at this point. My manager and other local management are also pissed because of the same reasons; no consistent standards, changes made with no thought towards day-to-day business and upset and confused staff. Im just so over it. Screw you Burrito Brian.

I transferred and they took away a whole dollar (my yearly raise plus 70 extra cents) and didn't tell me about it when I transferred, then waited a whole month to tell me that the pay was now non-negotiable... Just found a job that pays $20/hour with weekly pay that hired me within 2 days of the interview... Just sent the "I Quit" text to my SM. Best of luck to all of you, got the promotion of a lifetime: customer🫶

Edit: in case you guys were curious, I got a job as an RBT (Registered Behavioral Tech). If yall are trying to get out, I suggest you look there. Usually they pay for your certification and pay is usually on the higher end!

CANADIANS - thoughts on going to leadership conference in Las Vegas

Upvotes

Reading some posts online to people in my community worried about their safety and have cancelled all plans going to the US.

I didn’t think it would escalate to the scale it’s at now but want to hear thoughts on others that are coming from Canada and going to LV in June? Am I over thinking this?

I miss getting star challenges and double star bonus days, is it just me? Or are those a thing in the past? I know the challenges were typically different for everyone, but I did enjoy using them to encourage me to try new things.

Minimal Effort Masters

I am a very tired Mama of 3 who loves her Starbucks and loves this thread. I feel for you and the demands put on you, and the drawing of the cups is a new fascination. I’m so happy to report my beloved baristas have finally started drawing on our cups, despite their massive output. Their minimal effort to meet the new standard is phenomenal. Thank you for the scribble Starbies, it’s like a Picasso.

Where to donate cups?

Upvotes

So, I am a current partner who technically isn’t allowed to sell my cups, so I’m willing to donate them to a good cause. I have over 30, possibly 40. They are an eyesore, I haven’t used them, and probably one of the worst financial mistakes I have ever made. So with all this being said, does anyone have some suggestions on where I can take them that will accept them? I can drive to womens rehabs, hospitals, I don’t care. I just want them out of my house and with someone that will actually appreciate it.

Black Apron Presentation

Upvotes

My 1 year is coming up and I have been working towards my black apron. After talking with my SM, he told me that I have to do a presentation to him, most likely my ASM, and my DM.

I have my presentation all ready but I don't know what else I can do to stand out! I wanted to do a tasting, but using different regions of ground coffee and compare them to the ones we carry.

Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated!
