The barista urge to … (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by foulhoney
Fill in the blank I need the laughs please
Edit: these are just urges right? None of you should be messing with peoples health or diet unknowingly or without permission, no matter what reason.
Edit: good thing we’re talking about this, we should have a module for health when getting hired why we use decaf for those who ask because it could send them to the hospital or wore. Or why we have sugar substitutes instead of classic/liquid cane for those with diabetes. Also! Why we use classic instead of sfv when we’re out of vanilla (sweet cream and whipped cream) because sfv can also risk someone’s life.

Clap the tongs before taking the food out
foulhoney [OP] 197 points 1y ago
It’s *customary*
ElijahLordoftheWoods 98 points 1y ago

Its called the tong song
jeanyette 62 points 1y ago
this hit on a different level
eddiespaghettio 36 points 1y ago
I clap the the tongs repeatedly whenever I’m on food and not using them. One thing I like to do is clack the tongs to determine how clean they are. If they clack nice and loud it means they’re clean enough. If the clack is dampened it means they’re too gunked up with food and I need to swap them out for clean tongs.

foulhoney [OP] 37 points 1y ago
Honestly that’s fair, everything has changed a lot since I started a years ago and it’s almost not the same job anymore. Still love it but I definitely used to love it more!
Distinct-Apartment39 20 points 1y ago
This. I love making drinks. But Starbucks isn’t about making drinks anymore. It’s about pleasing impossible customers
steam_rolls 13 points 1y ago
Yup, I just put my two weeks in, so much as changed and I’m started my career now so it’s prefect time to move on after 3 and 1/2 years

[deleted] 94 points 1y ago
Fun fact; if you put a dome lid between the top of the blender and lid that closes over said blender, it won't go everywhere when you batch 3 Fraps. Life saver.

acnh1222 19 points 1y ago
I use flavored syrup in my coffee at home and I’ve started counting pumps for that. The weirdest part is, before I was a barista I think I did three. But the cup I usually make coffee in feels like a grande in my hand so I keep doing four without thinking
[deleted] -11 points 1y ago

ShannyES 7 points 1y ago
Regardless… cold or hot… grande is 4. Unless we’re talking caramel macchiatos or fraps

You sure you don't just have a ghost in your store? Every store's got one, they're usually responsible for throwing things off the shelves when no one was back there.

spend two minutes calculating how to steam the fewest pitchers of milk by filling to the max line instead of actually making the drinks
Several-Government82 64 points 1y ago
I did this when we got 7 hot chocolates…idc if you’re getting even foam in your drinks I’m getting you in and out of our store
feisty314 6 points 1y ago
I'm pretty sure it's actually standard for drinks with whip to have less/no foam. I usually will fill each cup up halfway and then top them off so the last one isn't all foam.
_abbycadabby_ 1 points 1y ago
Someone said this in this sub a few weeks back but when I mobile ordered a mocha and went to the customizations page, "Milk Foam (Standard)" was selected and I could change it to no, light, or extra if I wanted.

Someone from my store was fired for a similar reason.

She was making comments on posts on her insta talking about what she wishes she could do to a customer (of whom she's not a fan) when they came in. It wasn't pleasant.

Well within their rights to separate someone for these things.

Cringe when a customer starts ordering a brewed tea or brewed coffee (when I’m on register) because I know I have to get that myself. (Order support is usually up to the elbows in food orders).

It started as a secret menu item to ease the pain of a sore throat, cough, cold, etc, etc. Called the “medicine ball” starbucks adapted it to the menu but gave it the name honey citrus mint tea because we can’t suggest anything we sell has medicinal value.
throwaway2825272 55 points 1y ago
tell guests they’re dumb for not knowing how to order

or

foulhoney [OP] 25 points 1y ago
I like to ask them what they thought their drink was going to be when it’s not right. One time I learned someone’s iced caramel “swirly” latte was actually a caramel ribbon crunch and it saved a lot of me looking dumb.
Heliotrope88 9 points 1y ago
I used to work in retail and had an older coworker who would sometimes just answer “No.” I loved it.

Coworker: “No.”

Love when you tell them no on something, and they have to ask you several times in different ways like that's gonna change the answer.... Usually happens more at my other job, but sometimes here too

King_Spamula 13 points 1y ago
Squeeze empty caramel drizzle bottles into an empty cup so it makes a loud farting noise.

Bathe your hands and arms in the mocha when cleaning a pump of it in the back.

Spray steam into half full milk gallons and make steam rings like the world's best smoker.

Slap unopened milk gallons like fat asses.

Spam your wrist up and down ten times when rinsing a pitcher or lid off (works best with the black blender lids).

Let go of the spigot on the coffee brewer quickly do it springs into the metal and makes the most satisfying ding of my life.

Make a stick of butter our of the vanilla sweet cream solids (AKA Vanilla Sweet Cheese) that appear when my fellow partners don't close the pitcher lid overnight or make sure the red lid is on all the way when they make cubes of it.

Use classic or liquid cane when people deliberately ask for packets of sugar in the drive thru.

Cut a tiny hole in the tips of the chai boxes and pour them into the container from nine feet away.

Pee on my break because there will be one person on the floor if I go at any other time.

Make cottage cheese with milk steamed but not aerated at 110°F and a little bit of lemonade.

foulhoney [OP] 2 points 1y ago
The sugar one can send someone into shock, don’t do that
spicychip16 2 points 1y ago
Wait wdym. Isn’t classic the same as white sugar pretty much?
King_Spamula 1 points 1y ago
Please explain
foulhoney [OP] 1 points 1y ago
This can send a diabetic into shock. Often diabetics will replace sugar with substitutes that don’t mess with their blood sugar levels. It will easily send someone to the hospital.
King_Spamula 2 points 1y ago
If someone asks for a sugar substitute like Stevia or Splenda, obviously you wouldn't ever change it. But when someone wants eight white sugars, giving them classic is literally the same thing. Obviously I'm not talking about substitutes. They can taste a difference with those anyways, since almost all sugar substitutes have strong and distinct aftertastes.

Double bag trash cans at home
Fluffybunnybadass 1 points 1y ago
I do this at my other job and have to resist getting on others about not double bagging cuz our section theoretically shouldn't/doesn't need it anyhow.

Not ask " is that it?"
And hold up the drive thur in silence

Take the old dark roast coffee and pour it into a travel box and take it home. It’s better than pouring it out and wasting it, not make more coffee when the timer goes off every 10 minutes I just wait until the red light starts blinking (seriously there’s no need to brew a new
batch every 10 fucking minutes), talk shit about customers with large or ridiculous orders behind their back to my co workers. There’s others in forgetting to mention.

greet customers of another place as they enter and say thanks/bye when leaving.


....actually i still wind up saying thanks all the time now *as* a customer to service staff anywhere, but that's bc i gained appreciation for it as an employee.

Count how many scoops of ice it takes to fill up the ice bucket

(It takes 10-11 with our scooper.)
Fluffybunnybadass 1 points 1y ago
answer any beeping oven at a place you don't work at. Verbally. (7-11s, I'm looking at you.)

mix all the sprinkles at that time into a short cup of whip cream and then eat it.
