I’ve never been a Frappuccino guy until the S’mores, so I’m unsure how baristas feel about us buying fraps at 7 am instead of black coffee, lattes, and other “easier to make” drinks. Do my baristas hate me for this?
I'm at the point now if a customer shows up and goes "can I get this" 🤳, I want to look at them and say if you can't read what the phone says then you can't get Starbucks. I don't want to read your text messages, I don't want to look at a tiktok screenshot of someone telling you their go-to Starbucks order is
•3 blonde shots over ice
•in a venti cup
•pumps of white mocha
•add vanilla cold foam
•add caramel drizzle
•extra Oatmilk
Use your words or mobile order.
Customers with every bit of kindness, PLEASE stop standing right at the handoff and staring at us! We are not in a fish tank, we will NOT go faster if you stare, and it's SO weird. Plus you are in everyone else's way that wants to grab their mobile. Walk away! When your drink is ready we will bring it to you or call your name, please go chill in the cafe 🙏🙏🙏🙏
How can a shaken espresso taste completely different everytime and also have completely different amounts of liquid each time? I feel scammed
Hello friends! My first day at Starbucks as a barista is tomorrow and I'd love it if anyone could provide some tips or advice on anything I should know about before I start :)) I'm also going to be a closer if anyone has any specific advice as a closer <3
I’m watching a YouTube video about the viral deconstructed matcha and it made me think of something. I order a venti iced coffee with the same syrup and cream add ons, daily. I don’t always expect it to taste the exact same. Some days it’s perfect, if it’s a little off, I’ll live. My complaint is the cream to coffee ratio and the ice watering down my drink. When I saw this video, I wondered how much of a hassle would it be for workers to accommodate an order with a venti iced coffee and syrups in the cup, a separate grande cup of ice and an espresso cup of cream. I love my baristas at 2 locations I visit so I genuinely don’t want to be that customer. They already know my order when I come in so am I a jerk for ordering it this way?
Hi guys! I’m new to starbucks and tomorrow is my first day as a barista. My SM seems really nice, and the workers look to be my age (atleast at the store I’m training at for the month not my permanent store)
I was just wondering if you guys could give me tips? What I should bring, what should I wear? Where should I go when I walk in? do I go into the back, do I stand and wait for my SM? what can I expect? you know all the questions I’m the kind of person that likes to be prepared so any tips would be much appreciated.
Bebe Rexha was just at my store with a group of girls; she came in rushing us because she was going to “a party.” To start off, she asks my co-worker who is kind of new for a coffee traveler — he told her that he didn’t know what that was and he called the shift for help. After the shift arrived and let her know that we don’t have coffee travelers she ordered a tall iced latte with the cup lined with caramel; the way she spoke to us while ordering was completely condescending and made us all feel inferior. she harassed my co-workers and called us all “lazy” and said that we did not want to work because we couldn’t make her a coffee traveler. Witnessing a celebrity harassing customer service workers was a very eye-opening moment, the way she spoke to us saying that we are lazy and don’t want to make drinks made me realize the superficial world celebrities live in. Baristas are human too.
just had to make one of everything. no biggie.
I hate asking them to remake it and sitting there waiting for a remake every time. I order on the app, and waiting for a remake is defeating the purpose of mobile ordering.
They used to be so good, now they are always so milky. Even my birthday one was made wrong. The final photo is what I am expecting - am I wrong?? I'm ordering a Horchata Shaken espresso, occasionally with ND CF. They are not sitting there melting, I live close to both stores.
Back again! To those that may or may not remember I posted my service dog and I a few months ago with the frog cake pop so I decided to do it with the unicorn cake pop. She got her pup cup and a piece of the cake pop this time don’t worry 😉
Like what 😭 wanted to try something new but same price I could've gotten a whole feta wrap
chai is terrible now, which would be my usual combo and i didn't really like it in the caramel macchiato. any suggestions?
“Kids these days want free handouts just for pressing a button and making my coffee!”
Kids these days also wish you would kick the fucking bucket already. Put your glasses on and hit no tip so we can get on with our day gramps🙄
Former partner (183) and now retired. Seriously, Brian! Price for mocha in my area of US: $5.65 (pre-6/30/26). 6/30/26: paid $5.85. Went to treat myself today after making coffee at home a few days: $5.95. Why!?!?!? Back to the home brew.
Hello! If you had a new store manager with extensive retail/service but no SBUX background, what would you want to hear and see from that person in their first 30 days on the job? Thanks!
So i just got blood work back and found out i am pregnant. I know this seems pretty obvious, but what accommodations should i consider requesting? I am a shift supervisor at a cafe only store and the primary shift for closes and clean plays. I just want to ensure my pregnancy sticks without having to leave work.
Also is this something i should inform the CL about?
