If your solution to every new employees mistake is to remake their drink for them instead of teach that new employee how to do it properly and let them learn and do the work you aren’t really doing much helping.

My first store was like this. It was a nightmare. Other barista’s were told not to help me on multiple occasions when I had a question. People would stop and snatch things out of my hand or move into my personal space with their body to force me out of the way and take over. This isn’t training, this isn’t teaching. I went to a new store and had great trainers and now I know what I’m doing and it’s really sad I spent the first five months of my time at Starbucks dealing with somebody who was so angry that I didn’t know things and they wouldn’t allow me the ability to learn and practice. I would apply some patience here.

This brought back a memory of when I first started working at Starbucks. My trainer wasn’t much of a trainer at all. Every 5 minutes he went out for a smoke break or ran to the bathroom, not exaggerating either. So I used drink cards to teach myself how to barista because I was often left by myself. Once he told me to put the cold brew in the pitchers. I hadn’t done it before so I made One pitcher the way that we made up iced coffee. Yes it was completely ruined. But he didn’t tell me. He just ran off. And I didn’t feel bad when he got angry at me.
