Starbucks during interview: you can use your creativity at work!

What I thought they meant: use your previous management experience, problem solving skills and education in order to think creatively and overcome challenges.

What they really meant: here’s a chalk marker. See how pretty you can write “pike” on this cube of beans.

My fav was that they really toted the eco sustainability angle. That really drew me.

It was a lie.

So true. The amount of plastic that goes in the garbage..... it’s an abomination

Paper cups aren’t recyclable either due to the wax lining.

Every warming/pastry food item wrapper, plastic silverware, the cup/lid sleeves, drink stoppers, inclusion packaging, caramel packaging - it legit just goes on and on and it makes me so sad.

Food contaminated plastic/paper products can’t be recycled right? All those plastic/paper products that people buy because they are ‘recyclable’ when they are really **disposable**.

My favorite was Pike Tyson. They would also draw a boxing glove next to it
cody_1849 6 points 2y ago
My district won’t even let us do that.

Absolutely no creativity allowed.
