Does anyone keep there green bean cards? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Caffeineadick
My store does green bean cards which basically is just a nice little message to a coworker you think deserves one. I find it super nice

I recently saw a few of my coworkers throwing there’s out after they were done with it.

I personally keep them all in my car and re read them when I’m having a bad day, anyone else do this?

green bean is what we call new baristas. i keep green apron cards-- the ones that are special to me, at least.

My store just calls the new baristas new beans or baby beans

We have a decorated board with envelopes that have our names on each one and whoever gives the green apron card puts it right in the designated envelope it’s so cute!

My store doesn’t do them anymore but when we did I would keep them for about a year.

I keep mine too! they’re a great pick me up on days I don’t feel appreciated/liked at work so I can remember that at least one person likes me lol.
Caffeineadick [OP] 3 points 1y ago
Same! This is my first job ever and I wasn’t very liked growing up so it’s nice to know at least someone in the world appreciates me

We never knew those existed until weeks ago at my store. I’ve been here for three years this month… our manager said no we don’t need them and corporate isn’t giving them out anymore, yikes.

Edit: I realize this about nice notes and not the nee barista cards/book. Nvm.

I have most of mine but some of the bs ones I get I throw out, and by bs I mean the ones I get from my manager and I don’t like them very much

I kept the best ones I received when I worked in a stand alone. Lost some of them when I moved, which made me cry. But I still have two or three I can find from some of my favorite coworkers that I can read when I'm feeling particularly down, if I want to. I still miss a few of them. MUG Awards is what they were, and the pins came with cards we could write on if we wanted.
