Is this normal? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by nando409
I worked at a Tarbucks and we would use both machines to pull shots and steam milk. At my corporate store, the buttons are broken and the only option that works is pulling 2 shots. It’s also very unpredictable and we have to pull into shot glasses and not the cups directly because the times can be so off.

The WORST thing that no one at my store has been able to explain to me is why we are only allowed to steam milk on one of the machines. Both wands work, but I got in trouble for steaming on both machines and I have no idea why. Is this normal? All these factors are throwing my rhythm waaaayyyy off I hate it!

... this is definitely not normal. Have they told you why only one mastrena is available to steam milk? Also your sm should call in the mastrena with broken buttons...

Nope they literally won’t explain why we can only use one. Both wands work so who knows. That place is andosaster

your store sounds like they are lazy and don't like cleaning the espresso machines very often

Hmm maybe so, it feels like we clean them pretty regularly and vacuum them out like twice a day but honestly who knows
