That’s the policy. It’s just dependent on if the sm wants to enforce it or not

Unfortunately it is a policy. Depends on how strict the SM/DM are.

My favorite thing is waiting in line to order, then waiting in line for my drink to be made. And then promptly throwing the drink in the condiment bar garbage because my ten is now over, and I’ll have no chance to drink it.

Our store makes their own if they are on the clock. But if they are clocking out we put the order in for another partner to make them. (:

We all do but we all know we’re not technically allowed to do if a dm is in the store we know to follow the rules lol

We used to be able to make our own but people took advantage of it & began to steal extra drinks. Now we can’t UNLESS its the end of the night when we close

It's a big no-no to ring in and make your own stuff. It is actually against starbucks policy.

Too much trouble. SM here, just make your drink and get off the line.

technically ringing in/making your own is against policy to prevent loss but my store never cared because we weren't stealing shit, they're just enforcing the rules. Sorry man :/

It is the policy, but usually most managers are chill as long as you're not stealing and you're not in the way. I just try to make sure new hires know the policy in case they get borrowed to another store. Also, if it's peak busy, most of our shiftys will ask the next person going on break if they want anything and will mark it out for them. Then they send them on their ten or lunch after their order is up.

That’s the policy, but at my store, our baristas get mad if we have to make another partners drink, unless the partner is in training or very new. The stores mentality is that it’s… selfish? “Come behind the bar and make it yourself”

Our DM doesn’t seem to care either. Guess I got lucky. 😬

it is policy, it depends on the sm if it gets enforced. it’s enforced at my store bc there was a big problem of baristas not marking out the stuff they made. so a couple of the ssv’s at my store ask us ahead of time and let us send through our orders before sending us on break so that way it’s ready for us when we step off the floor. or if that’s not possible most of the time the barista on bar will push our orders to the front of the queue so we get it on our break.

We do if it’s slow and you’re on clock, or clocking out if your in somebody’s way they’ll make you wait

The official policy on lots of partner benefits are arranged to make it annoying to fully utilize these benefits, thus indirectly reducing the amount Starbucks has to pay its employees

We aren't allowed to at our store. Some leads don't mind, but if our manager is in store it's absolutely not.

Catch me sliding my numbers and order to the person up front so it gets sent thru in time for my break. My store lets you do whichever, however if your marking out on someone’s till you have to ask permission directly, and if you don’t want the stuff made (say your marking something out you made earlier) you tell the person on bar/ write nonononoonononono in the ask me or the don’t make button, I forget that button exists sooo

We're allowed to make our own drinks and put them in the system , they don't care. I've never stood in line for my order to be taken. That's just our store tho.

At my store we do, but I literally just put in every modification that I want in the system then make it

It’s like this at our store too. It’s the policy, always has been, but they’re cracking down on it now

Lolz, it just depends on who's in power at the moment.

this is weird af to me at my store we all make our own stuff whenever we want to

One of my managers cared the other didn’t.

Technically the rule but considered rude. Make your own shit if you want something made. The one coworker in the whole store who wants their trenta strawberry lemonade with puree made for them each day is very obnoxious.

Your new sm picks strange battles to fight but yeah ultimately they are correct here lol

Policy is that we don't ring in, or make drinks meant for us. I believe it has to do with ensuring that people don't add in extra things (like full pumps instead of half pumps in a frap) that could mess up inventory. I got used to it once I transferred stores, and it wasn't that bad since I always rung up my drinks as I made them. The only issues I might have now is someone not hearing me say oatmilk.

Any SM that doesn't enforce the policy could probably get in trouble with the DM, but I doubt baristas really say anything.

Edit: I forgot to finish my sentence before posting. 🙃
