blended refreshers? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by the_lady_flame
so my store is right next to a dance studio, which means we get a lot of tween girls in the evenings after/between their classes, ordering tween-girly drinks, such as blended strawberry acais or blended mango dragonfruits. i'm still pretty green (coming right up on a month!), but my more jaded partners who are usually on bar while i'm usually on front seem quite miffed by these drinks, especially because the way i've been taught to ring them in is to just use the "double-blended" button (since there is no "blended" button!! although after learning about the "ask me" function tonight i will be using that copiously and that seems like a better option), and obviously blending a drink twice just sends your flow right down the toilet.

anyway, does anyone else have any feelings about this? should i be telling these girls no and refusing to ring in these off-menu weird drinks, or is this a make-the-moment-right-even-if-it's-multiple-times-a-week type of deal? thanks for any input, love y'all <3 <3

all of my fellow partners know that double blended just means blended! hopefully your partners know this, too. we always do it in my store, so i don’t think there’s a reason to turn them down, even if it’s a little inconvenient.

thanks for your advice! i tried telling my frustrated bar partner that last night, and she said she didn't want to give anyone an excuse to be upset that she made it "wrong". but i think using "ask me" to just write "blended" might help with clarity!

yeah fair!! truly i’ve never had anyone ask for a refresher double blended. i feel like that’s largely just for frappuccinos because they can be too thick, but if it’s a source of frustration, i say go for the ask me!

working in a mall we get lots of these weird drinks... keep hitting the double blend button... as I understand it effects labor credit... and we can use as much as you can get if that is the case.

But really, it's true. We can't deny anything unless it actually goes against standards. But even then, some SM's allow it.
