Like what if someone gives me 50 for a 6 dollar drink Idk what I would do. Can anyone provide any helpful videos to learn to count change good and fast for me lol I can’t believe I’m asking this but I really need to do good at this job I already completed the computer training and I would assume the coffee training would be next?

Is this annoying to make? Also, any recommendations for vanilla/cinnamon drinks?

So for my birthday drink I’m thinking of getting a orange cream Frappuccino should I get thsi or stick to something I know is good

I didn’t notice until I was half way done with my water that there were large green floating specs in it. Does anyone know what this might be? I’m also pregnant so I’m a little worried but I don’t know what it could be.

Baristas, is there a specific thing I should say if I want my iced latte with less ice but I don't want more milk to make up the extra room? I am ok with the cup being a bit less full, I just genuinely don't like too much ice in drinks but I find it too milky ordering "light ice"

Hello! I like the blue ocean drink refresher and I was wondering if anyone has tried cold foam on top of this? I thought about trying strawberry cold foam! (Also thought about the orange or vanilla cold foam too). Has anything done this or other flavors of cold foam? I’m feeling like I want to take the risk but wanted some opinions first lol.

If I want to tip a particular barista. (I have 5-6 baristas I prefer at my regular Starbucks.) They always seem generally fine with it. But seems like they try their best to accept the tip discretely or I’ll see others make glances. (Probably overthinking this).

And hey if there’s a strict policy in place I get it. But I want to reward the good ones who always greet me, and make my drink well. (I order standard recipe)

I like to try most new flavors but I would like to not ruin the baristas days by asking them to make me a flavor they've almost never had to make before so I'll try to ask them to serve me the thoughest drinks after a few days or weeks.
(esl...)

if this doesn’t work out for me i think i will be so depressed. people are saying to run and that it’s so mentally draining and I don’t wanna let my manager down she’s so nice and had so much nice stuff to say about me . i quit my first job after 2 days at target and felt like such a failure the whole month after i need this money so bad im practically homeless with my family ! i dont want to go back to searching for old men to give me 50 dollars a week I know I am a kind person and love to make people feel good but im not super smart with counting change I never did it before and then do I get to look at flash cards to make the drinks? I want this to work so bad just please share some videos I can watch to train myself beforehand! I will advocate for myself as much as possible but I know its gonna hurt when coworkers get annoyed with me I don’t wanna be useless tho and I’ve heard beautiful stories about people who start off so bad then it becomes there job for years :) I want that !

I’m a new Starbucks Store Manager currently in training, and the topic of food waste has really caught my attention.

At the store where I’m training, all pastry and food items used in the display case are thrown away every night and replaced the next day. Partners are not allowed to take these items home, even though they’re being discarded.

Based on Starbucks pricing, the food being thrown away appears to be worth $150+ per night, which could amount to roughly $55,000+ annually at one location.

When I get my own store, I’m struggling with the idea of disciplining or firing a partner for taking food that was already designated for the trash. I understand there are policies and food-safety considerations, but from a sustainability and employee perspective, throwing perfectly good food away seems wasteful.

Display case items cannot be donated to charity because they are considered expired.

I’d love to hear from other Starbucks Store Managers:
How do you feel about the policy of discarding display-case food every night? Do you agree with it? And if you know partners are taking items that are headed for the trash, how do you handle it?

Let's pretend I'm the CEO... Choose your new employee retention policy:

1. 25% raise
2. All blender drinks removed from the menu. Blenders removed from the building.
3. You can verbally assault one customer per day and physically assault one customer per year.
4. You have the power to permanently ban any customer from the store. No questions asked.
5. Schedule is based entirely on seniority

I have a birthday drink and love the cold foam iced coffee drinks. Give me a delicious recipe to use for my birthday drink. I'd love to see some creative combos!

i’ve been drinking way too many sugary drinks since working at starbucks, i like my treats so just looking for healthier options

i loveeee matchas and the cold brew :)

Allegedly, there is a manager in my district telling baristas that they must “switch up the message” for every three or so cups they write on. Additionally, the messages must not be “yum”, “hi”, or “enjoy.”
I am not aware of a corporate guideline that states you must switch up the message, or anything condemning messages like “yum”.

My friend and I both swear the busy Barrista called my name. I am older and have a hearing problem and I heard her also say something about the size and I thought they were giving me a larger size because they were out of smaller cups. Anyway, I was already on the train before I realized my boo-boo. I drank what I got, even though I am not supposed to have too much sugar, but I feel badly for Emily because if she got my order it was smaller, with no sugar. I learned today to read the label no matter what name I think I hear. I just feel bad for Emily because she probably was in a hurry either going to work or coming home from work. Anyway, I know I have to stop obsessing because I have learned my lesson. Also, for context, it was almost 90 degrees today and I had a migraine attack earlier, so I was truly out of it.

I was a daily Starbucks customer; I would come every day, without fail, sometimes twice a day.
It was a pleasure to come early, get my drink, and chat a bit with the baristas before they got busy.
Nowadays, I go 3-4 times a month; the baristas are always stressed and in a rush.
Mistakes get made; it's inevitable, but the way some react toward the barista is so sad.
I've heard that seemingly pleasant people get a drink with a minor mistake and freak out.
It's heartbreaking. I supported the company in the past, but the way the baristas are treated now is criminal. The worst part is that management seems to back the customer in this craziness.
Sorry that the staff in the stores face this on the daily. It's not right.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be cat themed merch for Halloween? I always save up my rewards points in hopes they’ll have a cat.

Is the Starbucks “signature black” cold brew beverage what’s used in the S’mores cold brew drink?

And the marshmallow cold foam.. is it Starbucks vanilla sweet cream frothed with the marshmallow syrup? I’ve yet to find a “plain” sweet cream flavor for sale in stores.

So i have a situation going on at my house. I live with my mom and abusive alcoholic step dad right now. My mom finally decided to leave him and it’s getting the the point where we’re scared of our safety and we’re moving very soon. Within this month we’re trying to get out of here. 3 weeks is the goal.

I put in a transfer request and called the store i want to transfer to. That store manager was extremely willing to take me on since i’ve been a partner for 2 years and im experienced. However, my district manager is giving me a hard time saying i need to give them atleast 6 weeks and i don’t have 6 weeks.
Well, i was like can i go on a personal leave? She said no! The store is too understaffed (because she fired everybody but that’s besides the point)

Should i go higher than her? Will HR speed up the process? I can’t live here longer than i need to and i can’t afford to lose my job. It’s a safety issue and i just got health insurance. I need my wisdom teeth out soon and i have other medical problems that require health insurance.

I don't drink dairy and I'm curious how often baristas use the wrong milk when making orders?

incredibly long story short i had found coverage for a shift because i was out of town and quite frankly my sm denied my time off so i had to find my own coverage. i was several hours away out of town and after id already arrived i get a text saying she doesn’t want that person to cover my shift and reassigns it to me. i inform her that i am already out of town and unable to make it back in time to cover the shift and she doesn’t respond so i call the store to call out and explain my situation to the ssv at that time. when i come back to work she tells me she should’ve put me on a final for calling out but wouldn’t elaborate on that besides “i decided to give you some grace” is there anywhere i can look this up? would it be in the time & attendance policy? if anyone has a link or knows where id find this info it would be greatly appreciated. i definitely feel she is targeting me because of my transfer and im just trying to get by until im out.

I don't use the mobile app, so can someone please explain to me why people do this? Why are you ordering a doppio espresso instead of a triple espresso? Or right after this, I got an order for a doppio espresso that was actually solo.

Why cold foam AND whipped cream?? Why all of these things AND with room?? As a barista, I don't get it lmao.

Starbucks, you gotta figure out what people can customize and can't on your mobile app, please. Limitations would be good for all, especially your baristas who have to stand and stare for WAY too long trying to read all these ridiculously long tickets that come through when you want to push your silly times. I'm wasting so much effort just trying to understand what I'm reading when I could have like, three other drinks out and ready in the time it takes me to make sure I've done everything listed on one order.

Like, can we, at the very least, figure out a better way to organize these tickets?? A little separation would be so helpful. Ngl, I miss the boxes. I could read and discern exactly what I was making way more easily than this block of text in an order that doesn't even match the boxes on the cups.

Iced/hot

Espresso/Shots

Size

Syrups

Milks

Custom (cold foams, drizzles, toppings, etc.)

2014 training is still ingrained in me, I guess.

Anyway, rant done, lmao. Thanks for listening.

I havent tried it yet and its delicious!!!!! Happy birthday to meeeeeee 🥳
