Short rant (self.starbucksbaristas)

Customer ordered a TRAVELER in the DRIVE THRU during peak this morning on top of training two green beans and having a 3 person play. I’m exhausted, stressed, and will remember that one customer for the next month at least. 😠

I was always told that we're not allowed to sell travelers in drive because of the time constraint they create. we typically never have enough coffee on to justify selling it in the drive, so we always tell the customer that if they really want it on their drive-thru order, they can pay at the window, but they still need to come inside since it means brewing a new pot for the traveler. idk if that's an actual policy or not, but it at least keeps them from ordering them since they are too lazy to come inside to get it (they usually ordering several other drinks on top of the traveler, so it's literally just not possible with how few people we're running with ever)

I’m not sure but my SM was right there and said it was fine to have them pull up to a parking spot

it probably just depends on the SM or whoever is shift at that time. I know there are some in my store that will just do whatever a customer wants to keep them happy and not have to deal with attitude, and then there are others that will "go by the book" and say that they can't do things due to policy or standards even though most of the baristas here don't understand what the standards are. (none of us are ever trained properly, and every keyholder runs the place differently here; there is no standard in our store. borrowed partners/managers will lose their minds every time they come to help because everyone does things differently here and no one is ever sure what to do. there are some partners that still make every drink wrong or have never once been on bar more than five minutes in almost six or more months)

I was told that “for safety reasons” we cannot hand out a traveler thru The DT window. I guess in case it falls and spills...makes them come in every time tho

TheFriendlyFeminist [OP] 3 points 2y ago
We just had them pull up to park and ran it outside to them
