popup... ROCKED?? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by whattheelle_
a little happy post here. my store had a popup party today and i'm surprised to say that we killed it and had so much fun the entire time?? i've seen a lot of terrible things about the popups so i was pretty mortified to learn about it today, but my SM got people to come in for just the hour and she got us pizza and a cake. we cranked the music, had 3 people on bar, 2 going on reg, 2 CS, and 2 people in the lobby (one greeting and handing out samples, one sleeving and calling out drinks at the end of the bar). it ran so smoothly and we were all smiling, laughing and even DANCING the whole hour? also, completely smashed it with 132 in the first 30 mins and 98 in the last 30 mins. just really loved being a partner today despite the chaos.

I love that! I wish we could have that kind of staffing to provide that level of service all the time. So happy you had a good day. Way to go!

This made me so happy to read. I wish we could be sufficiently staffed like that more often, it’d make the job wayyy more enjoyable!

We had about the same amount of customers but we had 16 baristas and supervisors, 3 managers, and 1 district manager in our store for the whole hour. Every position was filled! We killed it!

That sounds fun! We had eleven sms in the area come work behind our counter and it was so full of people not doing anything productive I wanted to cry. They all ignored any questions we asked or pleas for help and micromanaged us hard. I was in drive and wanted to walk out, just absurd.
