Legitimately curious: does anyone actually like being on CS? (self.starbucksbaristas)

Yup there’s a lot of things to do especially when you want to work at your own pace & not talk to anyone. If I accomplish everything important I just clean around areas that usually get over looked, small corner spaces, cabinets, condiment bar, the cup rack, in between tight spaces & keep going until more tasks need to be complete. I used to feel useless on CS until I started paying attention to more detail & making a mental routine of the things that need to be done.

Thank you! I wanted to get that perspective. Everyone seems to have a love hate relationship with CS. It’s definitely not my favorite, I love Bar. But I won’t sigh in frustration if I’m assigned to CS.

MEEEEE I love doing dishes and backups and getting a break from customers.

You know, that’s a fair point. I don’t like dishes as much but it is definitely great to get a break from Karen and her 50+ add ons to her usual.

Oh My Gosh! I LOVE dishes!! You can go in back and just scrub away and NO ONE BOTHERS OR TALKS TO YOU!!!
*sigh* Pure joy some days!

I like being able to move around. If I am working a short shift I don’t mind be planted somewhere but if it’s a full shift, I like being moved over to CS or warming just so I can not be stuck standing in one place. And after a crazy peak, I would give you my first born to be able to go back and work on dishes or clean drains or bathrooms. Anything to be able to shut down for a bit.

I was put on warming during peak and I didn’t hate it. I just got real hungry.

I love it! I’m always on CS because the SSVs know i like CS. I’m fast and get everything stocked :)

I absolutely love it and my shifts love putting me on CS because of how good I am at it. I love that I’m always doing something and have an outlet for all my chaotic energy when we are crazy busy.

I didn't at first but I do now. It used to be so confusing/overwhelming and now I'm like peace out I'm gonna go into the backroom a ton and honestly kind of zone out while restocking things. Like a little CS robot.

I like it but only in the afternoons. If someone tried to put me on cs in the morning I’d probably have a breakdown lol
