When someone is clearly upset about something, and when you politely but assertively ask them about it, they just try to play it off like it's cool and there's no problem at all...only to get pissy about it later. In that case, it seems like you're less interested in not having the problem be resolved and more interested in just having something to whine about.

If you mess up, tell me, I got u and when I mess up, you got me. We’re a team. Let’s look out, learn and grow from each other. For the most part, I’ve worked w amazing people. But.... you forget to put vanilla in a London fog and its ok. You just apologize for the inconvenience to the guest, get a couple pumps in there and send them on their way, lmk and i keep it in mind. You don’t have to pull me aside, tell me I’m wrong in front of the guest, roll your eyes and go out your way to make me never be on bar again... y’all needa chilllllllll

When we are busy and we decide to use this time to make different flavored whip creams instead of making drinks. This was led by my SM and shift and followed by the 2 bar people while I’m on DTO/DTR. As our DT line was wrapped around the building.

Edit: I’m still salty about this

when people live their area looking like shit and spill their damn milk for me to clean up while they’re on their phones.

when someone on bar finishes their shift/goes on a break and doesn’t clean the bar down for the next person

Me being on DTO and the barista on window is playing on their phone when items are ready to be handed out during peak with the line to the street.

Edited to add-the key issue is this being a common occurrence with this one particular barista and not during slow times, which at that point doesn’t phase me.

seeing baristas on window on their phone period. You’re at work, why are you on your phone? Stock your station. Wipe something down. Take / input an order for DTO since they’re getting all your warming or helping out with mobile orders. Go finish that Frappuccino the window is waiting on instead of staring at it.😕

Also? STOP recommending vsccf on EVERY drink being handed out the window. STOP pulling bar stickers and placing them in random spots just to get to your drink sticker for your break - just tell me you don’t need it. If you’re going to help out on bar, that’s fine, but make sure your station is all good to go - meaning you’ve got coffee brewed, no orders to take and you’re caught up for the most part since we aren’t even busy enough to need to 2 people on bar atm - please take advantage of this lull and restock!!! STOP pulling cafe warming stickers and putting them off to the side like drive thru customers are more important - they print out in an order for a reason 😫

No sense of urgency. Like I get it, there's no real incentive to being faster, but F*CK move fasting than a sloth?!?! I have well trained baristas that do this during peak for no reason other than they're just vibing.

plz close the lids to inclusion containers. stop leaving the ice scoops resting upward when they should be downwards. and please for the love of god. just close the fucking ice bin lid.

When the people on bar chit chat with each other instead of finishing drinks when I’m on DTO/window and our line is out in traffic.

omfg when partners on DTO/Window just sit there and wait during those lucky few minutes when there are no more cars instead of actively looking for things to stock, clean, etc..... like read the room babe i just double barred during a rush i shouldn’t have to stock all the lids too

When my fellow partners don’t clean up after themselves on bar. You make a Frappuccino, rinse the blender, you grab milk out of cold bar, put it back, etc etc. literally anything you use put it back where you found it

start drinks while their ordering but then never take the sticker once it gets pushed through. they’ll end up finishing and handing out the drink and i’ll go to make another and end up duplicating the drink.

One barista shift always ends around the end of school day rush (we’re between two high schools). She ALWAYS orders like 6-7 free drinks for her family, each one with massive amounts of modifications. She will not make a single one. She will watch you and scream at you if you mess up. She also somehow always enters in at least one drink wrong, and forces us to remake it. I hate her.

when people throw trash in the recycling bin....... >:(

Messy AF baristas. Like - really! Just letting lemonade pour out on the floor, puddles of milk siting there, getting matcha and vb powder everywhere and not wiping it up. Or putting the sticker on the cup and leaving it there without telling anyone bec you don’t want to do it. Ughhh

We have a barista at my store with absolutely no sense of urgency. Like, when tasked with something, do it well and do it QUICKLY! It doesn’t take 10 minutes to prepare lemonades. The standing around with hands in your pockets when legitimately at any time there is something to be stocked, prepped or deep-cleaned pisses me off 😇

There is an SSV that is really passive aggressive towards me. I joined in September and until February I was always DTO/DTR even though I am fully bar trained. So, I asked the whatever SSV was lead at the time if I could ever try something different. Well, essentially this passive aggressive SSV didn’t like that I kept on asking so she has taken it upon herself to try to stop me from talking up, presumably because it made it easier to run as she knew who would be on DT. Now she just constantly talks about me (literally behind my back knowing full well I can hear her) and is just trying to make everything that much difficult when I’m on bar- moving jugs, won’t fill anything up during rush etc. And a lot of people are starting to notice this and find it very weird

Uffffi
