Corporate, we are BEGGING you, please differentiate Trenta and Tall better than Tr and Tl!!! (self.starbucksbaristas)

The number of times we mistake the largest and smallest because there's only a single letter difference (that look annoyingly similar) is so frustrating!

It's even worse bc 50% of the sticker machines in the nation have that stupid printing issue and you have to minutely inspect a poorly printed sticker trying to see if it's an R or an L.

I have a fix for you if your machine is printing stickers with inconsistent ink! I’m not sure if it’s the same for all cases, but I found that if I scrape off the excess dirt (usually sugar) from the inside, it prints like new. Once you’ve opened the front with the pull tab on the left, the area above where the sticker roll sits has a brownish tan strip with white dots along it. I use my nail or a stopper to very gently get the residue off that part, and VOILA! good as new 😇

They could make trenta Tre and tall Tll or something

Bwaybelter 19 points 1y ago

Honestly, they should just make it one letter for each imo: T, G, V, R (Trenta=R) just for easier reading

I take a good look at my stickers and as a result I make a lot less mistakes than my coworkers do. As a result I also go more slowly than they do.

One of our printers creates a white line in the middle of the sticker, so if anyone orders a trenta or a tall, it just says T and we have to guess

Ours is doing that too! What is up with that

clean your machines !! my store had that problem and it was because we hadn’t taken them apart and cleaned them for a while. it’s something you don’t really think about, but it really helps !!

Should have just stuck to writing on the cups. How I miss it dearly. Abbreviations will always be superior

thehairqueen 1 points 1y ago

Our printer sucks right now and always cuts threw the second letter! So we always do this!! Haha
