“One circle of strawberry” (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by RoaringDragonite
Oh excuse me? When did a circle become a unit of measurement? And who the hell product tested this and decided that this was what we should have to drizzle on top of a precarious mountain of crumb topping on top of whipped cream on top of blended sugar and ice. I’m sorry. But whoever product tested this needs to try again. Please make 50 of these in half an hour and oh. Please keep your station clean safe and ready!

genuinely they cannot keep pushing fast times on us while encouraging excessive modifications and releasing 8 step drinks

"One circle of strawberry, two inches of cold foam, I also need three rhombuses of peppercorn if you got it"
I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to OP but obv coffee is a big deal and you have to get the circle just right or else karen WILL complain
Edit: 1st award ever on reddit, ty stranger!

And I'm dead. What's next, a square of black berries and a hexagon of dragonfruit?

Millerboycls09 5 points 2y ago

Im boutta get strawberry puree all over the counter every time
they-were-roomates 14 points 2y ago
We’re gonna start putting the purée in mocha drizzle bottles to avoid this exact thing 👍
gracelssprophet 4 points 2y ago
There's a red squeeze bottle tip that fits the mocha bottles!

Our mocha drizzle bottles disappeared
yukhentai 28 points 2y ago
its also just not that good and i cant imagine it will be worth all the time we’ll waste when everyone wants them the first week of launch
RoaringDragonite [OP] 23 points 2y ago
On the recipe card it literally says it tastes like fried “dough”
Why would anyone want to drink fried dough? Oh and let’s mix coffee in it too

yukhentai 14 points 2y ago
to me the syrup smells like liquid butter toast. overall makes no sense to be a drink. for all of that they could have just made a new pastry of that flavor and gave us a different drink

**Eating** fried dough is a cool experience. **Drinking?!** That’s a big yucky yuck to me.

Old fashioned donut warmed with vanilla bean powder sprinkled on top thank me later

Yeah but aren’t we not *technically* supposed to warm things with frosting?

So, I follow this sub because 20 years ago I was a partner working in some of the very first stores opened in Toronto. For a long while I worked open/bar shifts in the busiest, morning commute, location in the city.
After 3 weeks of reading the r/Starbucksbaristas posts that slide into my feed, I have to say a the whole operation has completely and utterly lost the plot. You guys are now closer to Dairy Queen than you are to a coffee shop and I’m honestly trouble believing I would identify any of these posts as coming from an espresso bar if I read them without context.
I feel very sorry for all of you. I thought Howard was building something big and beautiful but it sounds like he left you and allowed you to become the In & Out of the coffee world...

This is valid. Thank you.
This drink is disgusting. But made even more disgusting by the addition of coffee. They’re literally just coming up with flavors and at the end saying “oh wait. We are a coffee company... uh.... add coffee!”
The smore’s frap at least had chocolate so it might have gone with coffee.... but this one that’s “replacing” the s’mores frap is even farther from anything that should ever be coffee flavored.

Wait, is this new frap replacing the s’mores one? I’m so mad now! All this trouble and leg work to replace a favorite! My store may burn down in a riot

Oh hello - same! I was a partner at the yorkville one (basically young & Bloor) around 2008 & have such horror stories from that location
Like how on my first day they sent me into clean the bathroom where someone had sprayed liquid poop onto every possible surface- and I had to clean it up without any proper training or even rubber gloves!!- oh and how that somehow disqualified me from earning tips because it wasn’t “customer facing”

man I wish they'd actually make the people who designs these clown ass drinks try and make 15 during peak. Trying to force us to do something precise like that during a big rush is gonna do nothing but lead to messes. I hope they plan on giving us a strawberry puree pump if they're gonna act up with this bs!!!
OneRoseDark 11 points 2y ago
It's going in squeeze bottles like the mocha drizzle.
RoaringDragonite [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Oh man.... hope they’re ready to accidentally get extra caramel drizzle and mocha drizzle...
ayy-shane 5 points 2y ago
pretty easy to tell mocha and strawberry apart
BeardiesRule112 11 points 2y ago
Why would we need another *insert new frappacinno flavor here* when we already have one of this flavor? It’s pathetic how little imagination these people have, maybe they should get out more.
yukhentai 5 points 2y ago
it literally tastes like a less good version of the already existing creme frap of its flavor, which isn’t popular as is..
ventisizedstress 7 points 2y ago
My store did a tasting of both the creme and coffee version of it, and the coffee base on is genuinely the worst thing I have ever had🤢

Just waiting for a TV show to come out that puts the "new idea" people behind the bar on a double star BOGO day in the middle of summer
RoaringDragonite [OP] 4 points 2y ago
If you hit a certain level in corporate they should make you spend a month as a green bean barista in a store and you’re not allowed to tell the store you’re corporate.
JeanLucPicardsAss 2 points 2y ago
1 hour in and they're crying in the backstore lol
mothqueen7 3 points 2y ago
im thinking of putting some of the strawberry puree in a mocha drizzle bottle and keeping it refrigerated. because pouring it out of the box during peak is no bueno
katstes 4 points 2y ago
I’m pretty sure this is what we’re supposed to do! I think they’re sending out red caps for them too. But also the strawberry purée is SO thin even the squeeze bottle can’t save the cold bar from a bloody and sticky death
RoaringDragonite [OP] 3 points 2y ago
Haha. I will now forever thing of spilled strawberry puree as blood splatters. Thank you!
Billiam_am 2 points 2y ago
It’s not even good 😔
survivorsarah 1 points 2y ago
