Cross-hatch everything (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Evcoffeeboy
Does anyone ever find themselves cross hatching like ketchup or any kind of sauce on food as if it were a caramel macchiato? Or is it just me

It never goes away. Year and a half of not working there and I still have a perfect grid.

I don’t do that but every time I answer my phone my first instinct is to say “hey welcome in what can I get started for you”

Haha I’ve worked for Starbucks for years and I’ve never done this! And caramel macchiatos are my favorite to make because of the caramel. I’ll probably start to now! Haha

Does anyone else hate the new bottles though? They are terrible sometimes!
schroedingerzbarista 1 points 3y ago
We have an oddly imbalanced ratio of bottles-lids-bottoms-plug thingies; something like 8-10-5-4.

Just realized I do that with my sugar free syrup for my protein waffles. And my hot sauce for my egg, cheese, turkey bacon, and lo-carb tortilla breakfast burrito during my days off of work when I have time to make a big breakfast for my family and myself. Lmao. I also prep everythin way more. And make sure I’ve got all my hardware ready and waiting. Like sequencing I guess. I also double bagged my trash and tried to laugh about it over the “headset” to my wife, until I realized I couldn’t find the button because we don’t wear headsets at home. Lmao.

I do that headset thing all the time!! Haha I have a second job at a toy store and my hand always goes to talk to someone over the headset before realizing we don’t have one.

(More than once), my phone’s alarm has gone off at 330am to open and I thumped the left side of my chest super hard because that’s where I put the coffee timer on my apron.
