should have been in the weekly update, make sure your shifts and store manager are making that available to you
ItzBoogieMan 18 points 1y ago
Damn I haven’t even read the updates for the last 2 months 💀

We did a training on this like two months
Midnight_Esctasy 12 points 1y ago
Well I haven’t done training yet on it

while it’s your supervisor’s responsibility to make sure you’re up to date, it is your responsibility to keep yourself informed. All of the launch information has been available on the ipad for over a month and the weekly update is always on the partner hub home page. Thankfully the recipe is super easy!! best of luck to your team during this launch :) 🤍

Is the Partner hub that app we downloaded when we first got hired that’s just called Hub? I’m kinda new still so I’m not able to find it on the app.
kqs13 5 points 1y ago
Partner hub is the website! You can log on at partner.starbucks.com. if you are using the computer at work, you can access the weekly updates by clicking on store communications at the top left of the screen. These should be printed out and read by everyone weekly! There also was winter training in MyLearning that was supposed to get done also but no one knew about that at my store either cause we were distracted by so many closures, isolations, and hours changing lol

How do I access the Partner Hub Page on my cell phone? I only have an app that shows my work schedule...nothing that says "partner hub page"...am I missing something?

One of the things I don’t love about working at a Tarbucks is that we don’t have access to these “weekly updates” I see y’all mention. The only reason I knew pistachio was returning was because of this subreddit 💀
sixsmallsheep 13 points 1y ago
i work in a Harris Teeter Sbux and my manager prints out the weekly updates for us to read but it isnt required
socktines 3 points 1y ago
My mind immediately said teeter-bucks, and I'm obsessed
kimememememe 2 points 1y ago
Ooooh, yeah mine just texts our group chat if there’s any new drink information
olivinemultichrome 9 points 1y ago
I work in a Tarbucks. Any employee can log into Workbench (through MyDay tools tab on a MyDevice or on a store computer) and search for “Starbucks weekly update”
kimememememe 1 points 1y ago
Is there a way for me to access that through Workday/ not on a Target device? No one in our Tarbucks besides our TL regularly carries a Zebra and the computers are always in use.
olivinemultichrome 1 points 1y ago
Nope, has to be on a target device. It’s only available on workbench, not workday.
ILICKTREEZx3 4 points 1y ago
I'm sorry if this comes off rude, I don't mean this in a mean way, but did you not notice the bottles of pistachio sauce at your store? I've never worked at a tarbucks so idk how you guys do things but it's been sitting on our metro shelf for atleast a week or two.
kimememememe 3 points 1y ago
Haha no worries not rude! We have a fairly small back room that we share with Pizza Hut, so the winter launch stuff was all kept boxed up on a stile in the main Target back room area. They didn’t unbox it until yesterday afternoon, and all the boxes were just labeled “winter launch”.
lizzyS07 1 points 1y ago
If you have a Master barista they should be printing it it'll your TL isn't. If not take advantage and log on to work bench, search weekly update. Sometimes it's delayed so you can print on Tuesdays. You also should be getting now brewing and recipe cards auto shipped. If you aren't getting materials you really should bring it up to your LS district manager
kimememememe 1 points 1y ago
Silly question: does the master barista get the black apron? I’ve never heard anyone use that term (but I was a holiday hire so maybe I just haven’t been there long enough to have someone say it.) When was the last update for the recipe cards?? Ours are from 01/2021 so I think they’re probably a bit out of date 😅
lizzyS07 1 points 1y ago
Some do dome don't. Master baristas are usually the "shift lead" or extremely underpaid "assistant manager" we got new cards about 2 weeks before the pistachio launch. Before that we got them with the holiday launch. But I also make sure I have everything so my guests have the best tasting beverages and our scores stay high. For my store Master barista is introduced on day one along with the TL and all the other important people in the building its entire possible you don't have one.
yirium 1 points 1y ago
Master barista was a program they had where you could earn the black apron after a bunch of extra training, but they discontinued the program several years ago. I don't think there's really any official use for it anymore but some people still have the certification, which means they're long term partners who know what they're doing so it makes sense to introduce them to green beans.
kimememememe 1 points 1y ago
Hmmmm maybe you’re right and we don’t have one then 🤔 I’m gonna be honest I don’t even know if we have a shift lead as I’ve never heard that term while I’ve been working here. I’m also at a store that’s not a part of the continental US so things have a tendency to take longer to reach us. I know we had none of the new merchandise for todays launch.
Also a further probably silly question but is work bench different from Workday?? I’m trying to figure out how I can access these weekly updates since several comments have noted that I should be able to

I knew it was coming because of this board tbh lol
crescent_coop [OP] 24 points 1y ago
i can’t be the only one who just found out that the pistachio latte/frap is back because of their ig, right? my store doesn’t really do a lot of clear communication
xoMisaa 40 points 1y ago
your store didn’t put out a bottle for partners only to test before the launch?
Pizzadogeminer 8 points 1y ago
Ours didn't. We did have to do a short training that mentioned it though.
uwu420uwu 19 points 1y ago
Your manager is supposed to schedule you to do the training for every launch
Exotic-Cauliflower-7 3 points 1y ago
There should have been training that y’all were supposed to do.. 😬in my learning on partner hub.
MrDrProfessorBalls 21 points 1y ago
and only the frap gets whip, right?
PixelBlood02 2 points 1y ago
Yeah
brokenleftjoycon 16 points 1y ago
We’ve had a bottle out for samples for about a month now, but I don’t think anyone got trained.
It’s disgusting though. We haven’t had many orders for it today.

we made it mixed into sweet cream cold foam and it was pretty good :0
kqs13 7 points 1y ago
It's super good in salted foam instead of caramel syrup!
Perfect-Leadership58 5 points 1y ago
that’s so genius ur my hero, i love making different foam flavors, so far strawberry purée is my favorite
izxbellix 7 points 1y ago
it tasted like semi-burnt caramelized white chocolate, if that’s anyone’s thing.
Xelerak 6 points 1y ago
We literally didn't know this was back when we opened this morning. We didn't even get the signage.
verdeuce 5 points 1y ago
Tell me your sm doesn’t schedule promo trainings without telling me
TJW351 3 points 1y ago
I’ve been out with Covid. What’s the recipe?
myugglass321 8 points 1y ago
pistachio sauce, milk, espresso, topped with brown cookie sugar whatever (the topping is really good but i don’t remember the name)
izxbellix 2 points 1y ago
it’s brown butter sugar topping i believe.
myugglass321 1 points 1y ago
just looked it up and it’s “salted brown butter” so basically
TJW351 2 points 1y ago
Thank you!!
myugglass321 2 points 1y ago
you’re welcome!

Blonde espresso to be precise
angelcakes99 1 points 1y ago
it’s not blonde espresso, at least not in Canada
7beforeminutes5 1 points 1y ago
Weird our US drink cards said blonde. Wonder why the difference!
Or at least I coulda sworn it did and now will double check after my 5 day quarantine

It's just a latte with a different syrup?
TheeeStarGirl 2 points 1y ago
a perfect time to ask if people actually like this flavor? my store had it out for us to try early, and it was super gross
HGoddess88 2 points 1y ago
I, a lone long time supervisor, print out the updates every Monday, and post it on the back freezers by the schedules but no one really cares. I used to have every one sign off when they read it, but none of the closers cared. It’s hard to care when a manager doesn’t
willywankaz432 2 points 1y ago
My manger prints out the weekly update and it’s required for us to read it and everything else she prints out for us to even get our tips. We also have to do it to get our bean mark out. So we never in the dark about anything. I’ve know about this release for a month and a half.
