This is incredibly valid it can be hard to transition with every weekly update.

chocolate whip??? that sounds so good… like, i understand why it’s annoying and why they got rid of it, but damn

Are you flexing your partner number with the 1777?

some standards should be updated tbh. i will fight for iced matchas to be made in the cold foam blender until the end of time

In the 4 hour training pods they actually covered this!! I wish it was included in regular training

Half pumps in a drink that normally gets full pumps gets double half pumps. So brown sugar in a grande latte, 8 half pumps brown sugar= 4 full pumps

Drinks that normally get half pumps get half the full pumps. Cold brew with cinnamon dolce syrup gets 2 full CD=4 half pumps CD

It’s really dumb and I wish they trained on this better cause it never gets followed. I even forget half the time cause I’m like, no one else at my store does this 🤷🏼‍♀️

Definitely this. I have learned SO much from this sub and I’m so grateful for everyone here since target hasn’t been any help.

Well I was referring to the stores who have the resources I listed.

Maybe before you leave then?

I 100% understand not wanting to look through cards but the iPad doesn’t take a million years

The standards are the same for every store in any given country. That’s why they are called standards. If a barista or store chooses to not follow the standard, it is a deviation from the standard. It does not become the new standard. The standard is the baseline.

So, it’s a bit of an unusual fix, but has worked for me in the past. I started at corporate and moved to a Tarbux license store earlier this year. Similar issues with getting our hands on materials pertinent to *current* standards (my TL has everyone trained to date certain pasties for 3 days instead of 2, even though it clearly says *on the box* that the shelf life after thaw is *two days* and I was working for corporate when the change was made because my first corporate store uses to do that too years ago before it was updated, but I digress)

Make friends with some of the staff at one of the corporate stores in your area. They are allowed and able (there is an option in their inventory transfer form) to transfer certain products and materials to a license store. They can order things that we can’t and transfer them out. As long as it isn’t anything considered “sensitive material”, which is usually just certain internal communications.

I lucked out and my partner still works for a corporate store in our area and I’m on good terms with some of their shifts. It’s proved to be an extremely valuable relationship.

That just makes the job so much harder than it needs to be. I'm sorry you have to put up with that. :-(

i work at both a corporate and we proudly serve starbucks… their recipe cards are SO outdated

What’s the standard for no ice refreshers? Tbh I’ve forgotten 🫣

I don’t understand…. you can’t look before you leave?
