Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

First day in several weeks I’ve worked DTO and it hasn’t been raining, and two bees keep trying to come into our store. (self.starbucksbaristas)

One actually made it in and was chilling on cold bar for a while. Anyone else deal with this?

We've had bees try to come in also... which is cool except an ASM is severely allergic to them and we've all had to be trained on how to use the epipen on her. She's already had one barista have to use the epipen on her (last year) - she says she's not keen to repeat the experience. However, in jest, we're all like "if you wanna stab [name] then just let a bee inside" and she's like "thanks for the love everyone" XD

That’s awful and hilarious. I love it

Sameeee. 😂 all in jest of course. We love her (she comes up with nicknames for everyone & will buy everyone food from the nearby Wendy's, White Castle, etc).

Omg yes we have this one bee that comes and sits on top of the tip jar everyday. We named it Steve-O

That’s adorable! I wish ours were as friendly. One of them tries to dive at my face every time I open the window so I nicknamed it asshat

Ahahaha. We get so many wasps/bees that fly though our store too that we have partners who are designated bee keepers who are required to drop what they are doing and capture the enemy

I was the stores “beekeeper” when I first started. Keep in mind I’m absolutely terrified of bees, but I got so annoyed by my coworkers yelling “BEE AHH CATCH IT OH NO ITS ON THE VANILLA WHAT AM I GONNA DOOOOO” every two minutes so I had no choice 😭
