i’m a former barista, but all shaken espressos are supposed to get half pumps. (i.e. grande shaken espresso would get 4 half pumps/2 full pumps of classic). i would bring it up to a shift and just refer to the recipe cards. they’ll confirm. if the customers complain just tell them that y’all are making the drink to standard and if they want double the pumps, it can be remade. i understand how that would be a hassle tho for sure

You can be like “hey *store manager* I forgot how to make the bsose and looked up the recipe card. I think we are supposed to be using half pumps. Is that correct or did I misunderstand?”

I promise you that the more in sync Starbucks stores are the better. We want customers to have a consistent experience because a. that’s a key goal of our company and b. Because they’re super fucking nasty when the *other* Starbucks does something different for them.

If you’re correct and are chill about it, no one should give you shit. If they do, then they’re just an ass themselves.

you could pull out the recipe card and keep it around, it should say CBS on it. If you see someone doing full pumps just point them towards the card
