QASA looking at no nametag, the milk/whip out, hair in face, and dirty counters be like: ⭐👄⭐
lpablito 25 points 1y ago
Don’t forget the hair tie and ring.
csaine 1 points 1y ago
Hair isn't longer than shoulder length and we are allowed to wear one ring that is just a plain band.
DecaDominatrix -1 points 1y ago
Hair tie?

And the cups stacked higher than the counter
aeb01 2 points 1y ago
that’s a rule? we always keep them stacked high or we run out quickly
Ptotw88 2 points 1y ago
Yeah I used to do it too but apparently it's a health code violation, at least that's what my dm says

Cute style but damn the state of that store would be stressing me tf out if I was there. The milk on the cabinets seals it
DecaDominatrix 20 points 1y ago
I’ll be crystal clear and say that whenever we’re done with any rush or form of busy I clean the heck out of everything!
lewabwee 15 points 1y ago
So the angry customer is right and this is the middle of a rush?
Hopefound 16 points 1y ago
Yep. Quiet part out loud.
DecaDominatrix 2 points 1y ago
That man actually stalked the counter three different times lol, he got his full order but he wanted to just sit there and stare, pretty common unfortunately…
lavendersigil 38 points 1y ago
I love your style!! You look really fun to work with, 10/10 would work peak with you
DecaDominatrix 12 points 1y ago
OMG THANK YOU!!! I was just being goofy, been throwing all my energy into enjoying my shifts and having fun, and yeah while it can be frustrating I do love this job and my baristas <3
RudeEstimate2245 8 points 1y ago
Can second this, we'd have a good peak together
DecaDominatrix 6 points 1y ago
I love peaks with chill awesome beans!
krym32zamoon 19 points 1y ago
Stylin!
DecaDominatrix 2 points 1y ago
Thank you! 🥺

The sheer amount of whipped cream disasters in this subreddit makes me laugh cry.
DecaDominatrix 4 points 1y ago
It’ll be a year of working Starbucks on July 18th, 3 different stores, this is my first whip explosion and ONLY because I trusted my friend when they said there was a gasket lmao
PhantomsAria 4 points 1y ago
ALWAYS check. Never trust anyone, ahahaha.
Wrong-Excitement 3 points 1y ago
Trust and verify 😭😭😭
Bhaisaab86 10 points 1y ago
What’s that machine in the back that your coworker is using?
DecaDominatrix 36 points 1y ago
That’s the new coffee brewer! Instead of doing coffee urns they switched to that, so you can make fresh cups of pike blonde dark decaf and iced coffee any time~
romanianhopscotch 10 points 1y ago
I remember hearing about that. How long does it take to make a cup of coffee from it?
DecaDominatrix 8 points 1y ago
Usually any roast takes about 10 seconds. For things like travelers and iced coffee pitchers it takes a couple minutes~
Wrong-Excitement 9 points 1y ago
Your blowing my mind right now. I’m still using the brewer from the Stone Age ughhhhhhh.
Kryrieonn 3 points 1y ago
What's the machine called so I can ask my SM to request for it 😭😭😭
Environmental-Air781 2 points 1y ago
I think it’s called a clover machine? I could be mixing it up with something else:
Kryrieonn 1 points 1y ago
It looks like it is! Googled clover machines, this seems to be a newer model called vertica. I've seen the one where it's a round disk.
DecaDominatrix 0 points 1y ago
Well the stickers I put on both sides name it “Bonnie” and “Clyde” but I actually don’t know the real name of the machine… sowwy 👉🏻👈🏻
lewabwee 1 points 1y ago
Basically like a k-cup or?
Necessary_Low939 1 points 1y ago
😲😲😲I wonder When will I get those
Mhill0823 5 points 1y ago
Y’all don’t have to wear hats? Ughhhh where??? I hate my visor. Lol
DecaDominatrix 6 points 1y ago
I’m surprised, although at my first store they required hats of some sort. When I transferred I was so confused without hats, I felt naked 😂
Mhill0823 4 points 1y ago
Awh mine is opposite, my first two stores did not and now I have to wear one! So hate it lol
DecaDominatrix 8 points 1y ago
At my first store I wore a black turtle neck and matched it with a black witchy hat~ had so much fun, but now my hair flows as it pleases!
Aliciarox11189 1 points 1y ago
We don't either!
Nearby-Philosophy-25 4 points 1y ago

Many-Medicine6836 1 points 1y ago

i want this gender
DecaDominatrix 2 points 1y ago
No seriously what does “this gender” entail, I wish to know for research purposes 🧐👉🏻👈🏻
Revolver-OwOcelot 1 points 1y ago
it's basically my way of saying you look cute and i wanna look like you, i especially wish i had hair like that
DecaDominatrix 2 points 1y ago
Ohhhh thank you!!! I’m still trying to pass but it’s more been me just enjoying my body and my life, even if I am still pre surgery
DecaDominatrix 2 points 1y ago
t-this gender? 🥺

b99__throwaway 1 points 1y ago
friend how did you manage to get milk on only your hands if it was me i would look like i took a shower out of the gallon 😂😭 you got lucky
DecaDominatrix 3 points 1y ago
Charged it, immediately shook it, turns out there was no gasket (thanks fellow barista that forgot the gasket <3) started spraying out, got it in the sink~
b99__throwaway 3 points 1y ago
i’m glad you got it to the sink lol nice reflexes 🎉
DecaDominatrix 3 points 1y ago
Besides being the token bimbo at work it’s all I have going for me 😂
b99__throwaway 3 points 1y ago

FunkyChewbacca 1 points 1y ago

DecaDominatrix 4 points 1y ago
They’re my babies thank you so much!!! Sure they’re covered in all the syrups under the rainbow but the dirty aesthetic works!
mrcupcake18 0 points 1y ago

where’s your hairnet
DecaDominatrix 19 points 1y ago
I have never seen someone wear a hairnet at Starbucks lmao
acnh1222 1 points 1y ago
In NYC (enforced my district anyway) it’s required because of city-wide health and safety policies
DecaDominatrix 1 points 1y ago
That’s wild, hopefully you all are still stylin on everyone!
