NEVER PICK UP A RED PHONE (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by eagle6705
So this took place around 2006....my friend and I was working a closing shift at another store so the manager (a good friend of ours) can take his barista's out for a Christmas party.

His store had a larger back room than my store which ironically found funny because my store was a stand alone store and his was a smaller store.

In the back I was easily amused by the hanging faucet that you can pull out (yes i'm easily amused)....and a random red phone on the wall....we've all seen movies with the red phone that goes direct to the president...so I picked it up and say hello President Bush? I got the bomb and launching....as I was lobbing the the covers to the carafes into the sink trying to get it in the steam pitchers

Long story a few hours later about short 30 mins before closing the alarm company called and said they couldn't make out what I said due to the noise (thankfully lol). My friend picks up and says oh we're covering and don't actually work here but the company asked for the store number and manager which thankfully was on the receipt lol. He goes to me and say did you pick up the red phone? I was like wait how you know...and he was like that red phone....it's a direct line to the alarm company.
