splenda!!!?? that’s easily the most popular sugar used at our store. followed by the white sugar packets lmaoo. stevia and sugar and the raw are not as popular.

also i thought the sf cinn dolce was actually being discontinued and not temporarily paused.
the1noir 14 points 2y ago
I don’t think they officially announced sfcd being discontinued but that’s what I’ve heard too from my SM
juiceyluicy 4 points 2y ago
It’s in the now brewing for the next launch I believe.
Nicckles 1 points 2y ago
It’s discontinued for good now. It was in last weeks now brewing
Ptotw88 6 points 2y ago
We literally only have stevia at my store right now
guavalemonades 78 points 2y ago
Okay wait, green tea, Raspberry AND Pineapple Ginger? Toffee, Hazelnut, and Cinnamon Dolce??? We're all dead. What else even is there that people actually drink?

We're about to become the strawberry acai and caramel macchiato store. Wtf.
SnooDonuts3398 29 points 2y ago
You mean you guys weren’t already? That’s like 80% of our business right there lol
guavalemonades 3 points 2y ago
I mean fair lol
bigghostb00ty 13 points 2y ago
If we don’t run out of caramel...
kizzythaboss 16 points 2y ago
Our store is already out of caramel drizzle. Hella people were hella disappointed they couldn't get the tik tok drinks with extra caramel and my heart felt happy about that for some reason. 😏
bigghostb00ty 10 points 2y ago
I know what you mean. Sometimes when they order the common tik tok drinks I feign ignorance just to flex what little control I have in this life.
“Oh I don’t know that one, do you have the recipe?”
(Sobs quietly)
ItsMyLegend 36 points 2y ago
Sriracha??? That’s the only thing that makes Starbucks food bearable
Anxious_Database 13 points 2y ago
Gonna have to start bringing Taco Bell fire sauce packets to work now 😪
JeanLucPicardsAss 2 points 2y ago
My coworkers know how much I love it and often prank me by putting like 20 in my bag, never get tired of Sriracha
temporarynothings 4 points 2y ago
Haha everyone at my store hates sriracha. I eat it on on everything lol
JeanLucPicardsAss 1 points 2y ago
I finished a whole box
Bajaandblonde 26 points 2y ago
Its really frustrating when people now in drive through reply back to you when you tell them something is out....by saying our store doesn't know how to order things and we need to fix it. Customers now are going to ruin our customer voice scores by giving us bad reviews just on the fact that the company is out of product. Its not the stores fault.... please be kind to your baristas during the chaotic time. They already have to deal with telling every customer that they are out of product.
kizzythaboss 25 points 2y ago
Now if we could get the VSC foam to disappear...🌳👀🌳
reallkd 16 points 2y ago
Wait is this corporation wide? Thats insane... peppermint, raspberry, cinnamon dolce, very berry, GREEN ICED TEA RIGHT BEFORE SUMMER?! Sugar packets?! What the hell????? Theres gonna be an uprising.

Edit: took to google, apparently this is due to a supply shortage
The_Septic_Shock 15 points 2y ago
Pretty soon we're only going to be selling black coffee
harmlessZZ 6 points 2y ago
My store is out of pike and almost out of all dark roasts
SM0LandANGR3Y 3 points 2y ago
I wouldn’t be mad at that lmao
NotyourangeLbabe 15 points 2y ago
This....this is going to be terrible....
thechamelioncircuit [OP] 13 points 2y ago
*chuckles* we’re in danger.
jbra13 11 points 2y ago
Lol why don’t they just close the store at this point? The Karens are going to be livid. 😂
Flappadingo 10 points 2y ago
FUCKING RASPBERRY AT THE FUCKING BEGINNING OF THE FUCKING SUMMER,
.

FUCK OFF CORPORATE
Silver_Shards 10 points 2y ago
Excuse me... what?!
francescugh 9 points 2y ago
and peach ):
variazioni 8 points 2y ago
is this just your location? or more
kitcat1210 13 points 2y ago
All of Starbucks. I’m not 100% sure about licensed stores though because I’m not sure if they use the same distribution centers or not, but I think it’s safe to safe it’s also going to affect licensed stores.
olivinemultichrome 14 points 2y ago
As a licensed store barista already out of a decent chunk of this list, it’s definitely impacting us too. We get the same stuff from Starbucks distribution centers, it just comes to us on a target truck instead of straight from Starbucks.
gracelssprophet 4 points 2y ago
Ditto for Krobux
thechamelioncircuit [OP] 2 points 2y ago
Company wide. Lol
FfierceLaw 5 points 2y ago
This is a lot more items than I saw in the latest weekly update. Is this regional? Is it national? Did it emanate from corporate? How are we supposed to increase connection scores if our every conversation is about what we don't have?
SmallBean04 5 points 2y ago
As far as I know its national, the bux jusy hasnt totally released this information yet, but your sm/asm should know
mewvb 4 points 2y ago
We haven't seen much of this impact at our location yet but now I'm scared...
thechamelioncircuit [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Evasive the fucking Karen’s would rage MORE if we were closed. We closed for ten days because of a covid scare and people lost their shit.
reinadelastrigoi 3 points 2y ago
Cool cool cool. So I wonder how bad hours are going to be cut at the stores since we barely have anything.
cinnamon-gorl 3 points 2y ago
i heard peach and guava will be paused as well?
thechamelioncircuit [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Yeah for the rest of the summer
4filth 3 points 2y ago
green iced tea?????
Supernovainautumn 3 points 2y ago
Welp...maybe it's time to jump ship...
Nigee_Ogee 3 points 2y ago
Oh no!
Used_Thought4672 2 points 2y ago
RIP 🪦 I may cry. As a barista currently I’m always using toffee nut, ours is the only one I like
temporarynothings 2 points 2y ago
As long as there isn’t a shortage on white mocha, chai concentrate, caramel syrup, and cheese danishes my store will be mostly fine. That’s basically all we sell 😭
temporarynothings 2 points 2y ago
i hate all the syrups except toffee nut 😭 i literally don’t know what i’ll drink since we’re out of peach too
AlwaysAndForever636 2 points 2y ago
I placed the RP order today and all of this stuff was taken off the order already 🙂 I am about ready to quit
Gameb0i6 2 points 2y ago
I haven’t hear about any of these items getting paused. Where did you hear this.
coffeegirrrl 1 points 2y ago
It was on its own notification. Not the weekly update. It's around a 5 page spreadsheet many are not ingredients, but silly things like labels.....but there are still many items that will directly impact customers
Gameb0i6 1 points 2y ago
Again. Haven’t heard or seen any of this. Maybe that’s just in your area. Cuz nothing like this is happening in my area.
coffeegirrrl 1 points 2y ago
The notification is about temporarily discontinued SKU's. This is a nation wide change in the US to help alleviate the outages of more popular items such as, vanilla and caramel sauce. These SKU's have been turned off and will likely remain off till the end of summer. If you have done an RP order recently, you would notice these items are gone off the order guide.
Gameb0i6 1 points 2y ago
We’re not allowed to do the RP order. Only my manager can do that. But she has t said anything. I swear if they get rid of green tea I’m quitting. That’s legit the only thing I drink there.
tenthwalker 1 points 2y ago
Some of these were in previous weekly updates, some are in the next now brewing apparently? I haven't had a chance to read either this week yet but I heard about some of these from my manager about a week ago
Gameb0i6 2 points 2y ago
I read those every week and haven’t heard about any of Hess. The I my thing they’ve mentioned that was being paused was BHR, Peach and Guava.
tittywhipp 2 points 2y ago
We are fucked guys.
desi41794 2 points 2y ago
Toffee nut??? 😭
HollowRibcage 1 points 2y ago
I think you won the Starbucks bingo like four times
tinydesthique 1 points 2y ago
splenda?? we can just go to our local store to get like a box of splenda. you can also get a giant thing of Sriracha elsewhere and get those mini saucers to package them. but like sheesh. when was this announced that those things would be discontinued/paused??
Balamamama 1 points 2y ago
We have been out of mocha for 2 days!
banels0n 1 points 2y ago

Hi. Ex-Partner here, quit back in April. Why is starbucks temporarily doing this? Are y’all getting a reason?
SnooDonuts3398 4 points 2y ago
