it bothers the hell out of me that its the case, but the vanilla sweet cream cold brew doesnt actually have vanilla sweet cream cold foam. still adorable though

Huh. Certain drinks that we make are different because we aren’t a corporate store but that’s how my manager and trainer taught me
goofygoobered 44 points 1y ago
then they taught you wrong, the vsccb is supposed to get vanilla syrup, cold brew to the top line, ice and a splash of vsc on top

operations may be different but I’m almost certain that recipes stay the same at licensed and corporate stores. the only difference is, in your case, the quality of training

You were indeed correct. I moved to a different licensed store and turns out, my manager taught us almost everything wrong. I had to get completely retrained because this shithead had no idea how to make the drinks and STILL ran a store

Dang, that sucks! but honestly it seems to be normal at a lot of Starbucks :( I work at a Corp location and even my manager / shifts often don’t know the correct recipes for drinks lol. Hopefully your new store is working out better for you!

I work at a licensed store too and we go by Starbucks recipe books. VSCCBs don’t get foam only sweet cream according to the book. All drink are supposed to be made the same whether you’re at a corporate or licensed store.

They taught you wrong then.

I don’t work at a corporate store either but you were definitely taught wrong. This happened to me too, I was originally trained that it got foam and did it that way until I looked at the recipe card and realized I was taught wrong. Certain equipment and operations might be different at a LS vs corporate but the recipe standards should not change.

idk why ur getting downvoted, hang in there bro

Downvoted because of the mis-information. It's not necessarily a personal attack on OP.

So you’re the reason customers keep acting all mad and surprised when their VSCCB doesn’t have foam on it 😭

I was like “why are so many people posting about getting mini cups today? I thought we always had them” and I realized it’s all you haha. I love the enthusiasm over the mini cups

That is a cold brew with cold foam.. vsccb has sc in it and has a lighter color and no vsccf
faunaflorist 8 points 1y ago
So this is the store that’s making me refund and remake the vsccb with foam for everyone who orders it thinking it comes like that
Meganotcool [OP] 1 points 8m ago
Lmao I haven’t been on Reddit in a fat minute lol. Our manager was a shithead and once we got new management we basically had to be completely retrained because even he didn’t know how to make a lot of the drinks

Make an iced green tea with vsccf 🤩 and a lil matcha powder sprinkled on top
mischievoushannah 3 points 1y ago
I’m high and trying to figure out what it would look like in person. How teeny is this cup exactly? 😭
canidieyet_ 2 points 1y ago
it’s like 4oz lol. just a sample sized cup, we used them for pup cups but my store only has the hot ones
greenChainsaws 1 points 1y ago
