How much decibels? Working at Starbucks?(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by JustYogurt
What is the worst annoying loud sound working as a Barista at Starbucks? Does it bother your ears over the course of the day? Is it hard work, how long is the average day?

Probably the safe beeping, in my opinion. It’s a timed unlock and the beep is so loud.

Steaming of really thick milk kills me, eggnog my arch nemesis closely followed by heavy whipping cream (which has become crazy popular at our store recently). After that it would have to be the ovens beeping, over, and over.

because of the keto diet, heavy whipping cream and sugar free vanilla have both become our enemies

People with loud asf vehicles or screeching breaks in drive. I swear it's made me more deaf.

The ovens arent necessarily the worst sound, but the beeping over and over is super annoying :/

I think the timers irritate me the most

For me it's not a loud sound but one that haunts my dreams, the ticket machine xD

I can’t stand the fan on the DT window. I’d rather turn it off and freeze than listen to it all day and have it blowing my hair around.

When dogs are in the drive thru cars and bark into your headset.

Karens coming in screaming their order in the drive thru. “Welcome to st-“ “VENTI ICED CARAMEL MACCHIATO NONFAT WITH EXTRA DRIZZLE” “Is that all for y-“ And then they’re at the window. I had a customer who was so loud once I had to ask her to quiet down because she was creating feedback in every headset. She was screaming her order from the backseat.

The safe is the most annoying beep, in my opinion. Mostly because you can tell it even bothers the customers. The other annoying thing is when customers come in talking on their phone on speaker phone. It bothers other customers as well. I’ve never understood why people use speaker phone in public.

Sometimes the delivery truck comes by and whenever they're backing it up it'll start screeching into our drive thru headsets. I think I may have gone a little deaf from that.
