Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

grande rant: partners who think they're better than everyone else (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by snitchesendupinditch
One girl in my store is a high school student, I'm normally an opener during the week so I rarely see her, but honestly I dunno how my coworkers who are around her more often get through it without snapping at her.
She's one of those people who needs to constantly one-up everyone and feel superior. She treats everyone else (including the shifts) like complete idiots. And talks shit about the ASM and SM regularly.
Earlier today I watched her give attitude to our shift for literally no reason. And she's one of the youngest people in the store and I'm like how are you gonna try to talk down to the adults who've worked at this company for years??
I'm only on my lunch today and she's already been rude to me and others so many times. It started with my shift asking me to take over on bar so this girl could go on her ten. I stepped over to bar and was about to finish the drink she was making and she comes over, essentially shoves me out of the way, and tells me to let her finish the drink. So I immediately tell my shift about it, and she said she was already planning on talking to her about her attitude because of how rude she was being to everyone. Then a bit ago I was on DTO and accidentally hit "add ice" instead of "extra ice" and then she screwed up and made the drink with no ice at all, then the customer asked us to add ice, so I start to take the lid off the cup and this girl tells me "Yeah so you can just dump a little out and add the ice" saying it as if I'm a complete idiot. One of the green beans has also been on window with me (he's been here a couple weeks now so he knows how to do his job) and as soon as he came over to the window she was like "Hey if you f*ck up just communicate that with me so I can fix your mistakes". And she just does annoying crap like this all day long, and I know the managers have talked to her about it before and she just ignores them.

I would probably start asking her for stuff that’s above her station.
Can I take my break next? Did you want me to move to another station role? Can you get me my tips? Will you be approving my time off request? Etc etc etc
Followed by, “oh I just assumed you were in charge. I guess we’re at the same level aren’t we?” *smile*
Edit: probably don’t even need the sarcasm. Just a reality check that she’s not running the show.

So at one point tonight the SSV, another coworker, and I were talking about all the crap this girl pulled today because she was being so rude to everyone. And the SSV told us that at one point the green bean was asking her if he should start mopping, and right in front of the SSV, the girl told him no and that he should wait until later in the evening. So the SSV was like "um yeah actually he should start mopping, and next time why don't you let the person whose actually in charge answer the questions."
Luckily the SSV said she's gonna talk to our SM about this girl's behavior. So *fingers crossed* maybe she'll face some actual discipline!

Update on her fabulous micro-managing: so DTO was slow for a bit and the green bean's screen had gone dark so when a customer pulled up he tapped the screen and accidentally pushed one of the dollar buttons so the order was registered as paid for even though it hadn't been.
Our shift was on her lunch so we couldn't really call her to void the order. And this girl's great advice was to just tell the customer whose order it was that someone else had paid for their order and move on like nothing happened. And I was like "Um no?? If we do that it's gonna look like money is missing from the till that's gonna get the new guy in trouble"

Should pull her aside and pretend like you’re friends then be like “hey just wanted to give you a heads up cause we’re friends, but some of the other baristas and supervisors are planning to report you cause you’re being really rude and hostile towards them. Not sure what you want to do with that info but I thought it would be good to let you know so you don’t get blind sided when they have that sit down with the SM and DM!”

i trained a girl like that oh my gosh i’m so sorry for you 😭 i’m so grateful that i wasn’t training her for my own store bc i would’ve actually quit if i had to work with the 16 year old that somehow bullied and completely ignored me at the same time for an entire week. but to be completely honest i feel like hopefully she’ll take the hint that nobody likes her at that she’ll fix her behavior or that she’ll just quit on her own because of how miserable this job is when you don’t work with people you like

She’s an immature high school worker that needs to be put in her place. She obviously needs to learn the hard way if coaching her in this behavior doesn’t work. She needs to know her attitude won’t be tolerated.

dude i’m in my early twenties and a green bean, one partner is a teen and so snooty and bitchy to me, it is 100% humiliating and annoying 😭

We had a partner like that. She somehow eventually became a shift and transferred stores but that manager wanted none of her BS and ended up firing her or maybe she quit IDK she said he "harassed" her but when she originally transferred she said "I wonder how many people will quit because I'm leaving."

Obviously she has never been put in her place. So I guess your the one to do it. If that doesn’t work slash her tires.
