Starbucks Team Leaders

I feel like we are playing catch up all the time now getting everyone trained on the fly for all the new things. Or because of moving up start dates on things. And I need another fridge for all these beverage components.

That's exactly what I told my DM. Starbucks is a mess right now.

Sounds disgusting.

I thought weird was kinder .

I suppose but I can't for the life of me describe that with any other word.

Vile comes to mind.

I can think of quite of few but mostly NSFW.
Putrid, retch-worthy, ghastly.
I poured my out.

Someone asked for a double double fudge bar latte. I thought for a second and then though fuck it, yeah I can make that. Basically did a mocha with vanilla in it, but with double the mocha (it was a venti, so 12 god damn pumps of mocha). It was a little girl getting it for her mom, so I didn't get to see the guest try it. But the cup was about half full before we put the milk in lol

Available for a few weeks, but there's a "good chance you can still convince a barista to whip this up long after it stops officially bring sold?"

Uh. No.

Other than the chocolate whip, I love the idea of this drink. It's so easy and expensive, I'll sell it forever if I can. I wish all secret menu drinks were this simple.

That's true, but I hate having the extra kinds of whip!

 

[Yetive]

So of course it's ringing wrong at my store. Looks like we are selling s'mores a lot

Sweet Mother of Mega Mocha......I'm a chocoholic but even this makes me twitch.

 

[Yetive]

Hahaha. I don't actually like chocolate

Me neither.

I think they just listed the sizes wrong. My register has tall, grande, venti, and trenta. But the prices are the same as a mini, tall, grande, and venti, respectively. I just ring it up at the next size. So far no guests have noticed lol.

Has anyone seen a button for the trifles yet? All I see is the treat receipt price of $3, but they should be like $3.45 normally. I hope that gets fixed quick because there doesn't seem to be a comparable pastry.

 

[Yetive]

No, I only have the treat receipt button too. I my supported the frapp buttons. I have GSAs helping on register sometimes, and I thought it was less confusing to just have them ring s'mores. I haven't heard back from my DM about the trifles yet. Can't really expect help from my support without dpci. I called a company store to see if they had a price on them, but it's not on their registers yet either.

3.95 for that espresso granita?! 1 shot, a little syrup and half and half, and loads of ice. Money in a cup.

 

[Xanatos]

Might as well just get a shot of espresso on ice, a few pumps of classic, then add half and half at the condiment bar.

 

[redeye58]

....which is what a few of my regulars do until my cream pitchers run out.

 

[Xanatos]

I have one regular (and one semi-regular) who each get a doppio espresso macchaito and specifically ask for it in a tall cup so they can go add a shit ton of cream in it. I've debated telling them that we can only sell it in a short cup, but it's probably not worth the fight. At first, the first guy would ask me to fill it up with milk (essentially a double tall latte) until I told him that I'd have to charge him almost double what I'm charging him now. I'll take that win and leave it... for now...

 

[redeye58]

There's a couple that comes in weekly to get doppios over ice in a grande cup before taking it over to the bar & tanking it up with cream.
The one that left me speechless was the woman who asked for an extra short cup, took it to the bar & filled it up with cream for her daughter to drink with her cookie.

Fuck that. I'd do everything I could to remember her and make sure it never happens again. If "the other Starbucks" let her do it, she can go there and use up all of their milk.

 

[redeye58]

I did remember her (mainly because of her petulant child) & when she asked again for a cup, I told her that the cream was for drink additions only & a cup of any type of milk would be charged accordingly.
Hadn't seen her back since.

The espresso granita tastes like a watered down iced coffee. Who in their right mind would buy that?
