Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

The weekly update called out some kid this week for a drink they suggested 😳 (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Decent-Marionberry63
We were reading under the section where they were talking about the drink ideas partners submitted. And in one part they said (not word for word tho) “We read all your suggestions. Yes, even the Nitro Frap from you Bob (name change) at store ####.” We were shocked. Starbucks really said “Yes Bob, we saw your stupid drink. You’re a dumb dumb. Here everybody, this is his STORE NUMBER so you can all go bully him. Idiot.” Like damn Starbucks ok lol

Literally just read this earlier. Completely flew over my head about the name and store number though

Lol its wild tho like a billion dollar company just doxed a kid. Can u imagine his reaction when he reads the weekly update 🥴

Oh I forgot to say I don’t think “nitro“ would specifically… stay nitro in a frap. But actually CB is becoming one of my staples. Love CB lattes now haha. There are some frapps I make with CB to

Yea and ive heard of people using cold brew in place of their frapp roast so its making me wana try one made with cold brew. Is the texture still good when u make a frapp with cold brew in it? Im guna try that next time im at work. Also, my coworker has made cold brew whipped cream recently just for us to try and i kinda loved it

Honestly! I read it and was shocked and kind of hoping for some reason they didn’t use his real name. Like they literally put his name and store number, if that were me I’d feel pretty uncomfortable lol.

okay but like now i need him to drop this nitro frap recipe so i can try it and laugh

wouldn’t this kinda be like a nitro float that some reserve stores offer, but in a more “regular” starbucks way??
CalDoesMaths 22 points 11m ago
That’s what I was thinking. Like sure maybe their recipe wasn’t amazing but I don’t think calling them out like that was super chill

God I wish I lived near a Starbucks Reserve location. Some of those drinks look so good :(

They called him out for that but put cold brew with lemonade on the menu?
Decent-Marionberry63 [OP] 10 points 11m ago
Seriously?! Like you have no room to talk Starbucks
albinopigsfromspace 3 points 11m ago
Especially since a nitro frap actually has potential to be good. I wouldn’t even consider drinking cold brew with lemonade
Decent-Marionberry63 [OP] 1 points 11m ago
We did just to try it. It’s disgusting

Can’t be any worse than some of the other dumb ideas corporate has suggested.

Honestly exactly what I was thinking. All the dumb and extra shit they’ve had us make (cough cough unicorn frap), and they’re gonna pick on a barista about what honestly doesn’t sound that bad?

Nitro makes frappes better so they can stfu
vanilllacakez 13 points 11m ago
Didn’t Starbucks literally suggest cold brew lemonade ? They said submit anything bro
patchoulimars 11 points 11m ago
Okay but can someone tell me how to make said nitro frap👀
vep0007 4 points 11m ago
We should get his nitro frap recipe and make it go viral!
Ok-Assumption-1793 3 points 11m ago
they do that but then promote a cold brew with lemonade 🤮🤮🤮

i think yall are reading into this too much
WorthPrinciple7049 3 points 11m ago
Exactly this. I thought it was just a shoutout. I didn’t take it as making fun of them, just saying they weren’t doing it. I, personally, don’t want to have to use something else not of the frap bar to make fraps all the time, so I’m happy with not using the recipe. That’s all I thought about it.

I don't feel like anyone should be calling any customer out for their drink.
It's what they want and you should accept their order and make it.
Why are you making such as a fuss?

No this is from the weekly update. Like the Starbucks news letter. This was a partner that submitted a drink idea to corporate and they put him on blast for everyone to see. Are you a partner? This would make sense to you if you were a partner
Khamorus -39 points 11m ago
I'm a partner but never filled in the loop. Work part time. No one tells me anything
cats_with_tentacles 21 points 11m ago
The weekly update and MyDaily are available to all partners, even if you work part time
CalDoesMaths 19 points 11m ago
You aren’t forced by your SM and DM to read the weekly update at the beginning of every week? 0-0
Can’t relate

I've read the weekly update once in my year and a half of working here. SM never bug me about it
Decent-Marionberry63 [OP] 10 points 11m ago
Fair enough. Next time you work you should point it out to your team. Pretty wild tbh. Get a laugh out of it lol
