HA! we all get to see our customer comments, the manager highlights the good and negative ones. Our score is because our store is in shambles....the bathroom has no ventilation and smells SO BAD all the time, no matter how much we clean it. Our door was busted and boarded up for 3 weeks and people didnt feel safe anymore. The parking lot is small? ? Any negative comments we get have nothing to do with how we are treating our customers. our connection score is way lower over things we have no control over.

Yeah can’t help that the building is falling apart… also not talking about that but that’s very valid.

It’s always sad to see someone simping for corporate.
Customer service means doing your job, exceeding a customer’s expectations is not customer service that is going beyond that and it is good but meeting expectations is customer service. Doing your job proficiently is customer service. Rimming customer’s assholes while you grovel at them is cool if you’re into it but don’t go throwing that shit around like corporate wouldn’t throw every single barista in a burn pit alive if they figured out how to automate the business. ‘Exceeding expectations’ isn’t going to give you a cent of a raise either.

What is simping for corporate?

The best response yet

I’m embarrassed for people who think like this. Like corporate literally does not care if you die tomorrow except in relation to how difficult it will be to replace you. Customer service means being a polite and courteous human being like we all should at least try for. ‘Going above and beyond’ is a corporate phrase used to apply pressure to make you exhaust yourself trying to please every whim of customers.

Yepp that is completely true. Corporate could not give 2 shits about any employee dying....only for the part where it would take some work to find a replacement. Customer service definitely does mean being polite in a courteous human being. I'm not going to physically and mentally and emotionally exhaust myself just to go above and beyond for a corporation with insane goals and points to meet like Starbucks

Did you read that part in my original post that said jump through exhausting hurtles which apply pressure to please customers or did I miss something? This corporate phase is getting you two so excited bet you suck at it on the floor…

You’re not getting paid enough to upsell at every chance. Lots of things outside of baristas’ control, we’ll submit ticket after ticket and no response from corporate besides multiple excuses why it’s taking so long to fix things.
Either corporate actually supports the stores and more baristas will give a shit or baristas get a bonus for upselling. No way around it, I’m not putting my all into something with zero incentives. It’s more than enough that I’ll take every customer order with a smile, memorize all the regulars and their drinks, and treat everyone with respect.

Didn’t mention anything about upselling… I just said persuade the customer if what they want isn’t available. Oh you don’t have dark caramel sauce for the ribbon crunch? The next best thing is to make the caramel frap like the ribbon crunch… idk my words are being turned into whips—customer service could be so simple…
