This seems bad

Pls try the Cool Lime Lemonade Refresher with Mango Syrup and a pack of salt shaken in. It's soooooo good. That's all.

Alright hear me out. Everyone does a s’mores latte with a mocha base. But really think about the experience of eating a s’more… it’s almost all marshmallow. (Also I hate mocha)

What I LOVE is Starbucks chocolate cream cold foam. So imagine. Toasted marshmallow iced latte, chocolate cream cold foam, graham cracker crumble topping. UGH.

It’s s’mores season and I can’t stop thinking about this.

I drink black coffee. Honestly, haven't had a Starbucks coffee in years because I just brew my moka pot at home at 6:00 a.m. I usually don't have caffeine after 11:00 a.m.

Today I probably won't be making it to the Starbucks on my birthday until the afternoon.

Feels pretty boring getting a black iced coffee with a few shots poured in - and saving it in the fridge for the next day.

Previous years I have treated myself to a dirty chai latte with tons of pumps... And just questioned why I'm trying to max out the price and not even enjoying it.

What are my options now? Decaffeinated tea? Which food items qualify? Bottled drinks?

Today was my second day and I want to cry. It was not even that bad but theres so much nitpicking. I cannot do so much. There is so much that I have to do. The job doesnt even feel THAT bad but there is just such strict rules. I just dont feel comfortable at all. How long should I wait to see if I like it or if I should just quit? How bad would it look if I just quit after 2 weeks. Im so scared rn and having so much anxiety rn.

Hi fellow partners!

I am wondering how the remake drink policy works in your district because in my district if a store or ours messes up we can remake your drink at no charge and we have to offer a recovery card for the inconvenience if possible( if there is enough recovery cards) because today i went to a different store( different area/district) and they made my mans drink and my drink wrong. Because we are going on a road trip and realized our drinks weren't made correctly we went to a starbuck within the scope of that area and they told us that we would have to pay for new drinks( even though both our drinks were full) and had to go to the original store. Im curious to know if other districts are like this since I've gone to many others(not in this area) and have always been given a remake/refund if our order was not done correctly. Please help a fellow 369 partner out!

PLEASE just let the driver speak, especially if we have asked you to repeat yourself 107 times. we aren’t stupid or deaf, we simply cannot understand what you’re saying to us.🫩🫩🫩

Genuinely pleading at this point for you guys to please stop yelling “ HELLO?! “ 2 seconds after you pull up to the drive through.

When you come to the speaker box there is always a ding or some sort of indicator that an individual is at the speaker box.

it is genuinely top 5 most irritating thing especially when the baristas are most likely preoccupied with something else ( most likely stressful) and are trying to get to you as fast as possible. Overall just be more patient.

last thing, same with the register in the store. I promise you 99% of the time we are not ignoring you on purpose. We are again, probably preoccupied with something else that has more of a priority or something that needs to be handled with urgency specifically the barista you see running back in fourth from their warming station ( oven ) to drive through in the mornings. they are met with a lot of pressure to get food out the window because drive through times are for some reason a priority to starbucks

Yelling at us being like “ ARE YOU GUYS TAKING ORDERS OR WHAT “ is not going to speed anything up i promise.

LONG STORY SHORT: Starbucks sending us on infinite loops trying to get footage of a car hitting my wifes parked car (who works for Starbucks).

My wife works at Starbucks. Bought a new car. 3 days later a customer hits her car, she sees it with her own eyes as well as coworkers, they claim they didn’t hit it. Officer arrives, talked to her, didn’t give her a report, left. We filed with the other persons insurance, they claimed no liability because their client lied, we need the security footage. To get it, Starbucks says we need the police to request it. Police won’t request it because no report was filed since it was “less than $10,000 in damages”. We literally need 30 seconds of footage at the place she works at. We’ve already contacted them and they are holding the footage so it doesn’t get deleted. We have been fighting for this footage for a month and a half now. Constantly going back and fourth with Starbucks and police stations. I just want my footage and she just wants her car to be repaired. This is the first car she’s purchased that’s actually a nice car, she grew up driving cars with over 150,000 miles at the minimum, sometimes 250,000+. She finally buys a car only to have it hit. She is understandably very emotionally distraught and it’s not helped by the fact that a place she’s been working for for many years will not help her. Can ANYBODY point us in any type of direction? As you can probably tell, I’m at my wits end, hence coming to the Starbucks subreddit to try to find anything.

EDIT: there is a camera in front of the store. We have gotten verbal confirmation that you can see their car hit her car. It’s just a matter of getting the footage

During one of my last shifts, I noticed multiple times that my SSV was wearing airpods and talking to someone on the phone, both on the floor and in the back. It was clearly a personal call and not like a call with the SM (they were laughing and gossiping). They were clearly distracted from their playcaller duties and I had to go retrieve them from the back after they left us short handed out front while it was still busy.

This SSV already has a reputation for basically abandoning their playcaller duties to go "do the pull" or whatever else in the back for long periods of time without ever coming to check on us on the floor (even during peak!) often leaving us confused as to what people need to be doing or who needs to be taking their breaks, as well as taking breaks that are longer than our allotted 15 or 30 min.

I do definitely already have an issue with this SSV so I know I'm a bit biased here but I feel like it really was not cool at all for them to be chatting away on a personal call while the rest of us were scrambling around out front. And to be taking personal calls on your airpods ON THE FLOOR as an SSV?!

I don't like being the one to tattle on my coworkers but I feel like I should say something about this to my SM. Am I overreacting here?
