... this noise and the oven alarm haunts me.

Link4750 [OP] 18 points 2y ago

It’s that, plus if you have the front door alarm that goes off whenever a customer enters the store. My soul sinks when I just want a second to drink some water

SpAcEcAt_94 20 points 2y ago

Yasssss. Also the little beep noise that the headset makes for customer cars coming up.

Right?! I thought I heard it one morning and I shot out of bed so fast that my boyfriend thought an intruder had gotten in the house 😅

I’m lucky enough to be in a store that doesn’t have a drive-thru, but I can only imagine your trauma and sympathize with you 😭

kimmdeanna 1 points 2y ago

My store has curbside pickup and it’s notification comes through the iPad. It’s a sound some people use for notifications on their personal phones. If that’s not the most annoying/triggering sound idk what is.

I haven't worked for Starbucks in what feels like so long but I still hear

"Headset: five.

Battery: full.

Lane: one."

in my dreams sometimes

keithct6 1 points 2y ago

xEman26x 9 points 2y ago

BATTERY LOW

ShannyES 3 points 2y ago

Ours says ‘Change Battery’ and there are a couple partners who are VERY GOOD at imitating her. When they do we’re all changing out batteries and I’m like 🤨 we ALL have low batteries? Dang it! They got us.

melodiic_ 7 points 2y ago

it's the coffee timers and the beeping of the safe for me

goldfishmuncher 5 points 2y ago

our store is busy so i dont really hear the printers BUT the drive thru and oven beeps haunt me

dumbflatwhite 5 points 2y ago

this is brilliant and yes i am haunted by that noise

TheBayesianBandit 4 points 2y ago

...as someone who used to work at Starbucks in 2009... did they stop making you have to put those annoying as fuck 30 min beepers on the milk/cream station or something?

They used to haunt my dreams at night.

Link4750 [OP] 6 points 2y ago

Timers are still a thing, but I’ll be honest, I don’t think a lot of them get used. For me, I’m already washing my hands constantly so I never found the timer necessary 😂

North-Stuff-4089 3 points 2y ago

Okay but the ovens going off... especially when they’re open for ONLY 3 SECONDS

The curbside pickup notification. God, I can still hear it even now that I’m transferred to a store without it

agigante02 1 points 2y ago

“change battery”
“change battery”
“change battery” until you finally have a moment to change it
