When your third bar doesn’t third bar.. (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by BatWeary
I came in at 8am and it’s been absolutely slammed for 5ish hours. Like we haven’t slowed down whatsoever and café bar was 15 minutes behind on drinks because of mobiles. We had a third bar person to make any refreshers, teas, fraps, etc so we can get drinks out faster. Only thing is they would ignore anything that wasn’t a refresher. So any teas or fraps they would outright ignore and throw a fit if we asked them to make said drinks. Everyone hates making fraps, I get it, but I’m trying to keep DT moving and Cafe bar is trying to get people in and out ASAP. She then tried to batch two venti mocha cookie fraps, only to drop the container on MY SHOES. And told me I was overreacting?! Then dropped a caramel frap on the ground and refused to clean it. Knocked an americano over on me while she was “cleaning” the bar (I keep my station clean and clear of milk jugs/dirty pitchers)..not to mention the rag that looked like it came from a sewer. I have a wound on my arm from a car accident, it’s bandaged and I’m wearing long sleeve t-shirt but the americano still soaked through the bandages (also grabbed my arm super hard twice). But I was overreacting about that too 🙄 Idk I’m so over today and I still have 4.5 hours left

You need to tell your manager about this behavior bc it is unacceptable, especially the grabbing you part. That is assault.

He knows. My SSV noticed something was up and had a word with her. I also overheard him telling the night SSV when they switched over to keep an eye out and update our SM.

I wish my store had a third bar person, fraps, teas, and refreshers mess with my sequencing like nothing else

We usually don’t have a third bar. We were so busy today we absolutely needed one tho, and thankfully my SM scheduled us for enough people for once 😂

We just recently implemented a third bar/dt and its a giant mess- they do refreshers and tea while we have one person on hot and another on fraps and its still a giant trash pile

Ask for a headspace. It seems like you need some time to take a breath.
