First off, this whole artistic touch was adorable. I give it a 10/10. As a former high volume food service employee, I’m just picturing the employee behind her saying something like:
“For f**ks sake, Willow. We’ve got 19 cars in the drive thru and 33 mobile orders to make. Can you maybe *not* give the Van Gogh treatment to every cup?!?”😂
an open space to grieve the loss of chestnut praline. i am considering screaming into the corporate abyss in a futile attempt to convince them that nobody would miss sugar cookie the way we will reflect fondly on the holiday beverage cornerstone
You're telling me people need to be taught this? Something is telling ME that this has absolutely nothing to do with us and everything to do with their terrible manufacturing of cups. What a joke.
they ordered 5 of the same drink btw.
Given current store offerings, increased prices, decreased locations and lack of focusing on fundamentals, I predict at least another 25% decline in Starbucks over the next 5 years. I sold all my stock and am bearish regarding the company's future, much like McDonald's. The heyday is over.
A drop of classic on a coffee stir and they'll let you walk them out while they're eating.
It's fall. Food is scarce for them and most or all resources go to the queen this time of year, so the workers are starving. They'll sit still for a little snackie. Usually I try to leave the stir with them so they can fill up and won't try to follow you back inside, but sometimes you gotta chuck them out the DT window.
Note: don't use honey blend. It has a small amount of fermentation that gets them drunk and we have enough drunk wasps from rotting fruit already.
bruh it’s literally evil they have to be doing it on purpose. like changing the chai when not a single person was complaining ab the old one. getting rid of cranberry, chestnut praline, cherry, etc. it literally makes no sense
My husband got me this cup for my birthday and I just love it! I collect cups, usually not the glass limited ones but I’m just so excited to display this in my office!
Like I've gone through some serious stress in the last two days, and I'm thinking of calling out soon for mental health, but i don't want to be threatened with shift abandonment if that's not a policy thing anymore.
I ordered online, so I didn’t talk to anyone. I was a regular at this store but always ordered online. I didn’t notice until I got to my desk and saw that the staff had drawn this monster (?) on my cup. Anyway, I took a picture to save it forever because throwing it away hurt my heart.
a few weeks my coworker had an altercation with a customer, and my SM lied to the DM, saying that i wrote a statement about it when i haven't at all. i didn't even know she needed a written statement from me until now. the main reason for this is because the DM will be in house tomorrow and is probably expecting a statement. she just frantically called me telling me to write one and give it to her tommorrow when we open. i just kinda feel icky about it and i'm wondering if i should tell someone or if i'm just overthinking everything. i don't want my job security to be questioned.
Don’t get me wrong, every problem i have with my store is me just being me and not like corporate rules. i still follow them because my SM and ASM are so sweet. I honestly just hate what the company is doing. I see so many people on here loosing their jobs because of the impossible standard that is put on them, The CEO clearly has NO idea what he’s doing. The new peak shit doesn’t work because there’s not enough labor. Everyone seems burnt out and it honestly just really upsets me. I go through none of this at my store (i’m not saying that to flex or anything) but the things i see people going through, the new trainings, the way customers act towards us, how everything is the baristas fault… it just makes me hate my job a little. I didn’t realize why everyone who use to work at starbucks that i know hates it so much. anyway just a little vent. i’m sorry everyone is being put through the wringer. sending love to all my fellow partners
