It's definitely a shadow of what it used to be but it still takes a lot of busy work and learning off the clock. Only those with cool store managers that care and LOVE coffee craft get to do it

I work at a target Stbx. A shitty coworker of mine with a serious superiority complex got her hands on one and started to wear it, despite having never even worked for STBX before. It pissed the rest of us off so our crew ordered some together and all showed up wearing Coffee Master aprons. Even got my name embroidered on it at the mall. She was SO PISSED. She tried to cry to my manager about it but luckily he thought she was an ass and our stunt was hilarious. Now when you come to our target you’ll have a team of Coffee Masters making your drinks 😂

Yeah they don’t ship them out anymore!! I’ve been interested in the whole thing since I started, and I had a manager working on getting me an apron when she transferred out. When my current manager came in, she told me to finish our current coffee academy books and she’d see what she could do! There was a lot of uncertainty ngl, and it was all done on my own time. My SM ended up giving me one of her aprons and the coffee academy pins we currently have after I had a coffee tasting with my DM and her. It was a lot of fun, but it definitely took a lot of effort and patience

Ahhh, so it was more like an informal type coffee master training after its discontinuation? If that’s what it was, that is honestly so sweet of your manager to do, and it’s nice that your DM participated a little c:

Congratulations! Like another poster mentioned, I would embroider your name on it so that nobody takes it from you.

coffeeracc [OP]1 points1y ago

Omg I didn’t know there were coffee academy pins!
iamnotabarbie2 points1y ago
Wait u can get pins for the coffee academy!?
coffeeracc [OP]2 points1y ago
Apparently it’s something pretty new. I would talk to your sm! I Hope You’re able to get them

How long did it take to do the coffee academy? Edit first course took me 3 hours and I didn’t see anywhere that I earned a pin just a digital badge. I emailed my sm about it and am waiting to hear back! Edit 2- it says “ Recognition above & beyond the digital badge and certificate details above varies on market” so maybe it depends on area? And it’s limited edition?
-zombie-squirrel2 points1y ago
Same ! I did coffee academy last year but didn’t know there were pins!

Lol I had to do this to be a shift, then found out I was the only one in the store that passed them. At a “record” 3 days I completed them. But they have such nice pins, they still haven’t even given me my green bean and I’ve been a shift and stepped down since then. Lol I do still train though.

Lol throwback to when I had all of this done and my new manager tried to dress code me and write me up 🤡
