Seriously giving them decaf because they ordered when you opened? … that’s an AH move
HaWt_SaWcE62 7 points 6m ago
Totally agreeeeee

The literal audacity of these customers /s

This is why people meme us.

My store gets mobiles literally the instant mobiles turn on. Calm down.
caitlin_marie_gg 60 points 6m ago
this is why people hate starbucks employees

Seriously if/when we are unionized I have some strong thoughts on a few new fireable offenses and this is one of them. Making drinks as ordered is part of what we as a collective labor force bring to the table. I don’t want any of this shit associated with me.

Good luck. I’ll be downvoted, but once our store petitioned to unionize I had a shift SLAP a barista on camera but my DM wouldn’t let her be fired because it could be viewed as retaliation. Instead they transferred the barista. 🙃

Oh no. Omg. The store is opened and someone placed and order….
filmphotographywhore 20 points 6m ago
Literally… like give them a break? Most early morning people ordering at Starbucks are usually having to go to a shitty job too.. 🙄
cmgriff1999 4 points 6m ago
I regularly open my local YMCA when not working at Starbucks. Total ass of a shift too but I need my caffeine to start. Most people up at that hour don’t want to be, so just do your best and make the damn drink(s). Especially that early, we’re all on the same team.
Administrative_Cap11 14 points 6m ago
Ok but I would much rather them place a mobile order when we first open because I'm still getting stuff together at least I have more time other than solo drive and solo bar for the first 30 minutes of opening
plaidflannelgirl 13 points 6m ago
idk why people so upset this post is funny asf
andersonm499 13 points 6m ago
This is a usual occurrence at my store.
heyitsme963 25 points 6m ago
I think this is normal at most stores. It’s a weird thing to complain about.
Unlikely_Jellyfish55 6 points 6m ago
People ordering when you’re open is a usual occurrence? No way!
andersonm499 3 points 6m ago
That’s what I’m saying I thought it was a weird thing to complain about! I was like isn’t that normal???
kittykattt3 11 points 6m ago
maybe they work early? Like ummm idk nurses, first responders, doctors?? YTA
Salpuri 11 points 6m ago
It’s a smart move it’s the calm b4 the storm when it comes with Starbucks
Liberalmuffin 9 points 6m ago
this is a joke right?
badatlife15 7 points 6m ago
Let me guess, OP isn’t usually an opener and is in shock that openers despite what seems to be a common belief on here, actually DO have to help customers and don’t get to always just “stand around.” Lol
Next_Setting_5512 7 points 6m ago
Lord forbid we actually have to do our job💀when we open we get 10+ soon as we open.
amiraah22 7 points 6m ago
complaining about doing your job while you’re open and have to serve people who also work early in the morning…..
crybaby_pisces_ 6 points 6m ago
I same my decaf only for those who truly deserve it
reipothos 6 points 6m ago
Ok and?
overturned23 6 points 6m ago
Ok…
baebaebluebird 3 points 6m ago
People get off work or start work at that time. People just need their coffee man?
ElijahLordoftheWoods 3 points 6m ago
Bruh you’re the one who said yes to opening. You don’t want to deal with that shit? Change your availability so you don’t open. If that’s not an option, then idk what to tell you. Other than stop being the bad Starbucks. Y’all are why people come back to my store and tell me we’re the only one who makes their drink right 🙄
barista19471057 3 points 6m ago
Dude 😭 what the fuck
izukuphobic03 3 points 6m ago
why does it matter
marigshu 2 points 6m ago
Dude why do so many partners complain about doing their literal job. Don’t be available mornings if you’re this pressed about being at work?
R1P2MYOUTH 2 points 6m ago
listen...complaining about ur job is normal, everyone does it. but bffr

edit to add: just tell your shift not to put you on bar 🤷🏼‍♀️
nicolelynnejones 2 points 6m ago
I get being a little peeved at an early order when you likely don’t have everything stocked yet but like…. decaffing them? For doing nothing wrong? Wack asf

It feels like some of you guys are taking this too seriously. It’s a joke. When my store opens and there’s somebody literally standing at the door we might crack a joke about it here and there but we’ll still serve them and make the experience enjoyable for them. Not everything has to be serious all the time.
