I just told one of my regulars yesterday that i dont like our coffee and that i like coffee from another place near me. Should i.....be scared? 😶 will i have a visitor next time i go to sleep?

The only thing I like about Starbucks coffee is that I get it for free. It's the best free coffee ever.

The drinks I usually get usually add up to $7-10, and they aren't even that crazy. Starbucks coffee is awful $10 coffee.

Responsible_Snow7109 3 points 6m ago

Ur right 😄 its the best *free* coffee ever. I normally take a venti or trenta plain black iced coffee home with me after work everyday but during my shifts, maybe ill have 2 blonde updosed shots but i definitely dont pay for it on my days off. We have tons of Wawa stores around me so on my days off, ill go there to get their iced coffee which tastes better and is $2 for any size! So i get the 32 oz cup

I work at HQ in Seattle, I’m sorry to say this but you’re terminated

Responsible_Snow7109 1 points 6m ago

😔 ok i will take that over being taken out back and getting shot in the leg

Main_Friendship_6623 2 points 6m ago

Who said it was the leg and not the head 😶

GhostfaceJK 60 points 6m ago

Half my coworkers don’t like coffee lol. And neither do the customers.

nicolelynnejones 10 points 6m ago

Yeah tbh 75% of our staff rn doesn’t like coffee. The other 25% drinks way too much to be healthy (me unfortunately)

snarky_fireball21 22 points 6m ago

(I don't like coffee either. And most of my team doesn't either.)

rudebii 18 points 6m ago

As long as you can sell it the siren doesn’t care.

Revolutionary_Act678 15 points 6m ago

my store manager doesn’t like coffee, she drinks the teas and refreshers

-Zispy 7 points 6m ago

Lol my old manager only drank strawberry acai and chocolate milk. I don’t judge!

Informal_Ad6174 12 points 6m ago

Many of your customers don’t even like coffee—even the ones that drink “coffee” are drinking mostly milk and sugar! No need to keep it a secret.

interyx 9 points 6m ago

We barely even sell coffee. Drinks are mostly a little bit of coffee with a lot of sugar to cover it up. It's more of a fast food sugar factory situation.

eliettgrace 9 points 6m ago

i work with someone who doesn’t like coffee. she just drinks refreshers or fraps, it’s not a big deal

clouds183 8 points 6m ago

I told my sm straight up at my interview I hate coffee

skylikeslemonade 2 points 6m ago

lmao me too!!

highspeed06 4 points 6m ago

i got a water during my interview and told my manager i didn’t like coffee. when i went in for onboarding, drank a hot chocolate. everyone tells me i’ll like it one day but that day has not come yet 🤷

ad9581 3 points 6m ago

2/3 of our team dont like coffee. Including myself. And i own a cafe and am going for my coffee masters 🤣

weirdpodcastaunt 3 points 6m ago

A lot of people at my store don’t like it- you’re fine.💕

BigDillLadyPickle 3 points 6m ago

Never... They will sacrifice you by throwing you in the coffee grinder.

bjorksbutthole 3 points 6m ago

Lmao I told everyone I didn’t like coffee on like the first day. Most partners don’t care or don’t like it that much either

Aggressive_Hand7769 3 points 6m ago

My coworkers found out I wasn’t a fan of coffee at orientation, a job is a job !

AtTheBarMatt 2 points 6m ago

Half of my partners don’t like coffee…more markouts for me

neighborhoodswamphag 2 points 6m ago

why do you think it’s so important that you have to come clean about it 😹😹

Unknownbarista202 2 points 6m ago

I hate the stuff and the smell so my coworkers throw beans at me, but I’m lucky, they took peter to the binshed and drowned him in cold brew

iiiimagery 2 points 6m ago

I did this in my interview LOL

taurusinthesun 2 points 6m ago

i've been open about not like coffee, my co workers don't care lol. i only drink the refreshers and non coffee fraps. when customers ask for recommendations i just do it based on what the samples i've tried or what the majority of customers get.

ngl, the sugar cookie w whole milk is good.

stunky420 2 points 6m ago

I did day 1 of training babey

Dry-Toe-1101 2 points 6m ago

I’m two years in..I’d say never and let the secret die with you like I plan to

mypoopoosmelly69 1 points 6m ago

StarbucksIVFWarrior 1 points 6m ago

Own it, friendo!

Sincerely, An almost Coffee Master who still can't stand coffee despite numerous tastings

Broad-Flounder-4971 1 points 6m ago

I told them immediately and god hates me so I end d up loving americanos 🤪

KurtzKOButtz 1 points 6m ago

Don’t tell them, you could get fired 😩

badatlife15 1 points 6m ago

My coworkers know and had fun laughing at my disgusted face when we did a coffee tasting during our craft training earlier this year. I just laugh with them. As a super picky eater in general I’m used to being different in my tastes than most.

borrowedurmumsvcard 1 points 6m ago

I can’t even have caffeine, it gives me anxiety and tummy problems. I still like it tho 😬

Actually the worst thing to do at the Green Dragon is to actually like coffee
