What are your store's Google reviews like? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by kelsojeans
Full transparency, I quit this past August. But I never thought to check my old store's Google reviews until after I quit. Some were absolutely vile, kinda glad I didn't read them during my time there, and that none called me out by name haha. It's depressing and not surprising to see how much entitlement some customers have. I'd love to hear some of your faves from your store, the good and the bad!

Ours are mostly good because we’re new and pretty high volume, one was needed in the area. My favorite was one thanking “bill for being a great store manager” but bill was a regular barista that worked a lot

Another complained that their app wasn’t letting them log in and gave us one star.

“Line was long but moved quickly.” Two stars.

One gave us five stars and said this was the first place they were going to take their baby once she was born. UMM OK like that’s cute but pls don’t feed your newborn Starbucks

The app thing is kind of infuriating, similarly we got tons of bad reviews for our wifi, which admittedly did suck but that's not our responsibility. How is a quick-moving line a bad thing? Odd. Props to Bill for being a great regular barista.

Yeah we’ve gotten a few WiFi comments too. Also I have no idea how a quick line is 2 stars but whatever floats their boat I guess (ツ)

I don’t let the bad reviews bother me lol, I’m fact I laugh at them bc most of the time it’s the customers fault

More often than not for sure! The entitlement is astounding

There's one for my store where the girl said she always orders a venti iced vanilla latte, and she's so frustrated because only our store gets it wrong. It's so milky, and she just wants a splash of milk. She even included a picture of it, which, you guessed it, it's a perfectly normal iced latte. I get so annoyed when people complain about getting exactly what they ordered.

Looooool war flashbacks to people not knowing what they're even ordering! Someone get this woman a vanilla cold brew or iced americano
