A REMINDER TO PEOPLE ORDERING TIK TOK DRINKS AT STARBUCKS:
We don’t have the recipe for your tik tok drink on hand
we have to ring up every ingredient, and it may take us a bit to punch in the very specific amounts of each ingredient
your drink is going to cost, on average, more than $5. Over $8 if it’s a venti or frappuccino drink.
don’t get mad at us if the price is high. We are just trying to ring up your drink properly and not get fired.
don’t get mad at us if we need more than a minute to watch through the recipe video and prepare the drink. It’s not on the menu. We didn’t learn the drink in training. Have patience.
Once your order is up, please take your drink somewhere else to take instagram photos of it. Please don’t try to snap pics of it at the bar. People are waiting to pick up their orders.
Okay, so I took a quick break from Hibiscus and Butterfly to make an IRL Sweetheart Latte, and the milk curdled the instant it touched the honeyed hibiscus tea! The game mentioned frothing the milk to keep it from curdling, and that’s exactly what I did, with my espresso machine’s steam wand. I’ve been making my own coffee lattes for over a year now, but my tea knowledge is limited at best. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
Asks tomorrow or Sunday. I’m really just trying to unwind right now because frick I hate this one family who comes through my drive thru. They don’t tip and they’re rude af and they literally ruin my whole closing shift everytime they show up and I want to ban them but they haven’t done anything truly banable and and and
The thing about people who come to coffee shops is that in the 5 minutes between placing their order and their order being called out, they’ve either forgotten they ordered, forgotten WHAT they ordered, or forgotten their name. I do not understand. Just fukcgn...how hard is it?
so i quit my job and my last day there was pretty chaotic the chef walked out at 9am, we had only been open an hour and there was literally just me in the building when he walked
he came back an hour later when the next chef was in and he didn't get fired like wtf then he got chucked on dishwashing cause he was being useless and my supervisor had to go in the kitchen even though shes not trained so it was just me and a 17 yr old on counter for 6 hours
also this was sunday which is usually not too busy but of course when shit happens it always end up being fucking busy anyway i'm glad i left because the shit that happened today at there (coworker also leaving told me the tea) was even worse
So due to some unforeseen circumstances I'm looking for a second job, figured I'd just try and pick up some weekend shifts at another coffee shop, get a little change of scenery. I had an interview yesterday, probably had at least 10 years on the kid they had interviewing me and this literal child had the balls to offer me $11 an hour and then look me in the eye and tell me that I would need to sign an NDA so she could be sure I wasn't going to "steal her secrets". What secrets? The ones that make you so much money that you can barely pay your staff above minimum wage? You serve the same locally roasted coffee as every other shop in the area, use the same brand of syrup, your food menu is nothing to write home about. Ah yeah girl, gimme those fuckin secrets 🙄
Just had a customer ask me why she had to pay so much for a tall chai latte when grande chai latte was just 50 or so cents more. She even told me to turn around and look at the menu signs (I did not) and got frustrated when I did not and told her that I could not change the price. She was also wearing this ugly long coat that was a mix of fur and lizard skin, and when she finally handed me the crumpled up 10 dollar bill to pay for her tall chai tea latte, I got a look at her hands and there were four diamond rings on her fingers.
