no.

Why would the article thing tell them to ask the barista to take multiple steps to do this when the customer can simply ask for any utensils to do this on their own? We are not a deli or a diner. We dont cook/assemble foods. We simply heat them up.

Ask for a butter croissant, egg bites extra toasted, and a knife.

please dear god stop them

the way im finna say no so fast 😭😭

Pretty sure we aren't even allowed to do that for them

I wouldn’t mind if they ordered these separately and did it themselves, but I’ll be damned if they think me or any of my fellow partners should do it. This is just *time consuming* and *very unnecessary* for everyone

If you’re a super special customer, baristas might even chew it up and spit in your mouth for you!

Sounds delicious! Do it yourself <3

No I’ll make both of them and give them to you separately. I’ll even give you a knife to cut it and do it yourself. ❤️

As a partner, I used to love cutting open a croissant and using the cheese and meat trays to put inside of them heated. Egg bites on cream cheese bagels are also good. That being said, they can do that on their own time

bitch this is not a restaurant PLEASE go to mcdonals

“Sorry but I’m afraid according to starbucks we are not allowed to touch your food with our fingers, even with gloves on. Have a good day.”

I don’t know how stores are doing this because I was literally told by the gm we aren’t allowed to modify food except when taking something like cheese, egg, or meat off of the breakfast sandwiches.

“Unfortunately I cannot under cook our egg bites as it is a food safety hazard”

You’re a loser if you make this for anyone besides yourself or another partner on break. It’s a barista hack, not a hack for the people! 🙅🏾‍♂️🙅🏾‍♂️

Nope. This is against standard. We cant serve food thats not cooked to standard. Its a liability. Give them a knife, a croissant, and regularly cooked egg bites and ask them to do it.

**It is 100% against policy to serve food like this**

“Here’s a knife”

We don’t have the proper licenses to be assembling food for people

Yeah. I’m not cooking your food twice. Those oven times are already fucked.

STOP I DO THIS EVERYDAY FOR LUNCH

i’ll hack my fucking hands off

LOL.
Immediately
#NO.

Would 10 seconds plus the croissant setting even be enough to fully heat up the egg bites? Sounds nasty.

Or….go to BK and get a Bacon egg and cheese croissandwich. For like 2 dollars.

Nope. Food safety violation. We do not have the utensils to prep food.

what kind of establishment do these people think Starbucks is

not a single fucking soul is doing any of that for anybody LMFAO these people are crazy

why do these ads always say “your starbucks barista” ... ask THE starbucks barista.

That’s like when people ask me to put their cream cheese on their bagels. I’m like no

It’s time to STOP

100% love that we are all united on this. no <3

Order a butter croissant and bacon egg bites as normal, ask for a knife, grab a napkin, and do it your freaking self

………… that’s going to be a smooth no for me. Starbucks customers are literally the most entitled people on this earth.

No one’s doing all that

I don't work for Starbucks, but am a former waiter and bartender. Are your customers actively looking for ways to waste your time?

that’s like $9 for anyone wondering

This actually sounds so good

Mmm ice egg popsicle in a soggy croissant. And now all the baristas hate you too!!

no ma’am this ain’t subway

Want me to chew it up for you too?

Yeah I’m not doing that. You can have egg bites and you can have a croissant. Go home and do it yourself.

Automatic no lol

Yes and the. People will get mad when they have to wait for their food

Seems like a pretty expensive breakfast.

The smile that’s gone be on my face when I tell them “ no “🙂

i hate when stuff trends that’s not even something we do 🫠

Sir this is a Starbucks. This isn't a fucking restaurant

Um no

I remember we’d have customers ask us to slice their bagels and spread the cream cheese for them. Lol, not a chance.

Those egg bites are gonna be cold in the middle 😂

I will not be doing this

I will not be doing that

So…a double smoked bacon sandwich

That is way too much to have a barista do. They are so busy I would be embarrassed to ask them to do all of that. But I would get both and so it myself it does sound good.

Um no. How would the egg bites even be fully heated ? Them hoes take a full min or something

id reject. im not taking back food that someone touched lol

Absolutely the fuck not. I will give them to you separately and you will do it yourself. I don't get paid enough for that shit.

Yeah that’s a big fat NO from me and the Health department. We are barely allowed to heat food with the food handlers license, let alone actual food prep!! Agree with others, they can ask for a knife and do it themself

Nope

Once you have touched the food with your bare hands it will not be going back over the counter, nor in my oven. So nope, sorry.

Nope I’d never assemble that contraption for a customer

Nope

Wouldn’t the egg bites not be fully warmed then?

No

Starbucks doesn’t have a food handling license so we legally do NOT have to do this, in fact it is more illegal than it is legal to

As a customer I might order both things, but put it together myself. That’s not cool to do to the baristas.

Well ummm we can’t even take it back after they’ve touched it it’s policy lol

That's a really expensive "hack".

✨absolutely not✨

Oof we are 100% not allowed to do that.

So we don't have knives

yeah no im not doing this lolll

I will never do this. They will have to hand me personally $20 before I do this

People don't realise we aren't algorithms and can actually think about the fact that something is against standard

Yo I used to work at Starbucks and if anyone ever asked me to do that I would politely decline. Fuck anyone who thinks this is a good or ethical idea.

Maybe if we could use our gloves instead of long ass tongs and not being to touch the food in anyway we could!

new request i can refuse 🤪

That sounds like a ✨Health Safety Violation ✨

i will Not be doing this ❤️ i think if a customer asked me to do all that for a wack ass $9 croissant when there’s a dunkin literally 200 feet away i would combust

i’m not doing that shit 😭

So we’re Burger King now?

I will not be doing this

nuh uh.

So, quick question: Are the majority of hacks meant to make guests ask for silly things and wear egg on their face? Why are other customers and TikTok baristas setting guests up to look like idiots? They would 100% be denied at my store, in the snottiest way.... "Um, no." (immediate headset entitlement bashing and hatred heap on unassuming guest, they'd be shunned and hated forevermore and have no idea!).

They'd be served a double-toasted cwassont and an order of egg bites and encouraged to frankenstein the two in their own time, but no one is volunteering to ruin two breakfast items in one smush. You will always have to create your own monster, customers.

Also like only 10 seconds for the first cook? those eggs bites r gonna be cold Lol

forget all of the breaking of standard, the worst part about this is that you could get the exact thing but so much better literally anywhere else… like stop idolizing our food babe it was frozen a few hours ago 😭 go home and crack an egg open touch some grass i am begging u

The fact this has been posted twice scares me

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to do this. We can cook everything and give you a knife, but that's it.

I used to do a croissant and bacon egg bites with the sriracha and avocado spread. Chefs kiss.

Glad I no longer work at Starbucks. Telling people no at my location was no easy thing

It’s not a hack. It’s just annoying your barista

And your barista will hate you. Decaf you for life

And we will never do this for you, EVER

Someone asked me if I could scoop the bread out of the bagel and put cream cheese on it. I said no but I can give you a knife and the cream cheese. Another person asked if they could get a sausage egg and cheese but if I could replace the bread with croissants! What is wrong with people?

Jeez just go to denny’s

One day, on a sudden store closure, I took the impossible patty, kale egg bites, two croissants and sriracha. Take the end off the croissant and make a pocket. Cut the bites and patty into small pieces and stuff the croissants while layering said pieces with the sriracha. Fucking heaven. I still sometimes stuff a croissant with just egg bites.

Pretty sure we can legally get in trouble for doing this for a customer. Starbucks as a company and each individual store does NOT have a license to prepare food. Thats part of the reason why customers have to spread their own cream cheese on the bagels. We can only warm food already made.

I don’t think we’re supposed to be cutting food and putting it together for people like this. We can make them separately and they can cut it up and make their breakfast croissant. But this isn’t much of a hack because we’re not supposed to be doing it at all.

sorry i can’t do all this with tongs only.

We can’t even reheat food normally lol

Ya know ive thought to do this myself but it's too many steps ;A;

I eat it on a bagel

absolutely not

We don't have food handler permits. Sorry.

subway who????? 💀

Who? Who is doing this?

This is abominable

That’s funny, you get a knife and a smile, I’m a barista not a chef.

absolutely not

Any custy who wants to do this might as well just turn in their application and do it themselves. That’s too much for the measly pay baristas get

Nope I refuse. I can warm both items like normal and you can grab a knife from the hand off area. Bye.

We will NOT do that🤦🏻‍♀️

Dude if you’re so thirsty for this “hack” literally just get a double smoked bacon sandwich. It’s the s a m e.

We’re not allowed to assemble items like that

when i was a partner i kinda did this but ONLY for myself. open face double toasted croissant, egg bites in an oatmeal bowl with a whole packet of sriracha, shake it around, smear the egg paste on a croissant. so good

Technically against food safety standards for us to do any food prep like this, so if customers get angry when told they can do it themselves, simply say it is against our policies and we cannot do it :) for the same reason we don’t butter their bagels for them!

Do not ask your barista to do that shit!!

"sorry were not allowed to combine food items but ill gladly heat up some egg bites and a butter croissant for you"

Absolutely not.

If someone asks me for this I’m blaming you

Ugh

i quit starbucks 4 weeks ago and i'm so mad i never tried this while i was on break

I would never do this for a customer . Not sorry 🤷🏼‍♀️

Absolutely not make ur stupid panini urself

Alright. My partners did it, it looks horrible $1

I’m not taking your food back after you’ve touched it

There is absolutely no way I’m doing this and I’m gonna laugh at you if you ask.

No

We’re not doing that for anyone periodt

Fuck the person who came up with this.

It’s a no for me.

If someone asks me to do that the best they get is a knife to do it themselves

I’m not making that

Yeah I’m not doing that…

no

No barista is going to say yes lmao

[deleted]

we aren’t even allowed to cut anything besides bagels???

You’ll have to come into the cafe for this. We’re not doing it in the DT.

I will look them in their eyes and tell them no.

“Can you put the cream cheese on the bagel?”

No to all of it. I might be fake nice about it, but no.

Saw this point yesterday and marked out a croissant at the end of my shift, I cooked an egg for breakfast today and did this with the croissant and I must say the croissant has some kind of flavor going on that insurance weirdly with egg

I’ll probably try that on my half actually 😁

Sir this is not tim hortons

Absolutely not

“Hack”. Not a hack to save money but fr no

If they want a bacon/egg/cheese sandwich on a croissant, ask for a double smoked bacon breakfast sandwich? I can’t with these article “hacks”.

As if warming wasn’t already the worst place to be.

i was told we were not allowed to cut anything except bagels due to our food license lmao

No❤️

The math for this one adds up to the bacon bites being cooked for about half the time they’re supposed to, and I really don’t see how that will make them any crispier. 🤷‍♂️ Like, your eggs are gonna be cold inside that croissant.

“So unfortunately we don’t assemble anything here, we just simply take them out of the package and heat them up. I can get my manager for you if you’d like”

the barista (me) will say no lol

yeah , no offense, if theres a rush going on im not doing this

The answer is no.

We ain’t allowed to do this anyway

i will happily sell u both of those foods but i am not working at a deli you will assemble on your own time thank you have a good one
