Starbucks Team Leaders

here's hoping we got our order today... the final list of things we ran out of came to lemonade, SAR, lime wheels, coffee base, and dark caramel. I got soooooo many eyerolls from people who couldn't get their precious pink drink today, and of course without lemonade or lime wheels, no granitas for us! (not that I'd mind, but...)

I had to put up a note reminding baristas to label the whips they make by type before they land in the fridge. seriously, having three different kinds of whips at once is just madness, but I accidentally put chocolate whip on a CM someone had requested whip on today, and somehow I just don't think that's what they were really after. besides which I love how they're all like 'no fan favorites this year, yay, we'll make summer simpler since everyone complained!' and now it's 'HAHA JK say goodbye to all of your fridge space forever and we hope you like new recipes with no lead time!'
 
Treat receipt starts today for granitas. I have so many signs up between cartwheel and everything else!
 
My DM called me yesterday and told me that she's losing my store and I'm getting another DM. This is the second time in one year that I get another DM.
 
I really liked mine and like Red said, I don't want to go through the whole process of breaking them in. My current DM told me she was bummed because she was giving away a "good store" so I felt flattered. I'll just be positive, apparently this new DM I'm getting has 20 years of experience but my DM had 18 years so it's not that much of a difference.
 
I remember several of us baristas volunteered for a sister store when one of their baristas died in a wreck.
During down time we stocked, cleaned, prepped as much as we could so their team wouldn't have to come back to a lot of tasks.
A SBTL from another store brought a card that we all signed.

we just got a new DM. we were without one for... I want to say 3 months? we've known for a while she was going to be ours, but she didn't officially start until now. actually I think today was her first day. I'm a little sad I didn't get to meet her.

just recently a store in our district had a TM pass away while at work. I can't even imagine what that must have been like. they pulled TMs from all over the district to cover the whole store the day of the memorial service so anyone who wanted to could go. I wanted to volunteer to cover a barista shift, but I had to work already that day. still, I love how TMs pull together like that. the people I work with are why I stay.
 
How many barista trainers do you guys have? Like actually certified.
 
SBTL has to be a certified trainer, that's good that you have two others. I have four and I'm trying to certify three others so I can have a trainer every day of the week.
 
I'm trying to prepare for the holidays now lol I want to have everything ready so I don't get overwhelemed or have the team overwhelmed.

We get nuts for BTC and I always seem to have at least one new barista then.

We do too so I want to get everyone ready. Last year I had a brand new team basically so it was rocky but now they are pretty solid. I want to rock out this summer and come 4th quarter. I'm sure by December I'll have at least 20 TMs.
