My store is slacking and I want to die... (self.starbucksbaristas)

Came into work today and we’re out of all refreshers, all Frappuccino base syrup, cold brew, and only have 3 teas excluding white tea and all infusions. Dude this sucks so bad. Customers look at me like I’m on crack when I have to tell them we’re out of basically everything. I’m FOR SURE leaving soon 😭

Look at the bright side...you don’t have to make Frappuccinos...😅😂

That’s a VERY good point but I do have to deal with angry customers :(

I’d much rather make Frappuccino’s than have to tell every other customer they can’t have the drink they want.

Only concern yourself with things that are within your scope of influence. I suggest talking to your SM about your concerns especially if this is a recurring problem.

I work at a super high volume store and it upsets me when my morning SS's do a poor job on the order. Although I usually look at it as an opportunity to help a customer find another drink that they'll love.

The problem is I work at a licensed Starbucks in a Giant and nobody is truly in charge of anything. It’s always super dysfunctional like this and it’s been like this since I started about 3 months ago. I think it’s time for me to just switch to corporate cause I feel like they’re never going to get anything figured out here...

Dude. Switch to corporate. You’ll most likely get paid more and get more benefits. Worth it.

Was planning on it 😭

Our store is like this too. We’re always out of everything. I don’t know what the issue is. Is my manager not ordering things they should be or are the things not being delivered for some reason? I want to know how this always happens!
