>I say it doesn't work like that,

Been working for the green siren for 2+ years now as supplementary income and for the decent benefits. Here are a few that I hate as a barista myself:

>flipping out about dogs at the drive-thru and offering a cup of whip cream to every single one even though dogs cannot digest lactose properly
>not offering tap water when a customer asks for public natural resource theft (bottled water)
>enabling unhealthy choices like frapps, mochas, etc.

>>12229945

At drive-thru stores the competence is definitely not as uniform as cafe only stores. There are only a handful of baristas at my store (including me) that can handle working the espresso bar during the busy morning rushes. The drink list is long, the ingredient modifiers even longer and Starbucks has minimum drive-thru times that must be met. Some people get flustered really easily and cannot keep up with the orders as they come in so they are stuck cashing people out at the drive-thru window all day.

Try to be a float. That makes the day go by way faster. Typically shifts & mgrs will try and take these because it’s the best job on the floor.

Learn the names AND drinks of your regulars. If you see them in line and can get them their drink while they’re still at the register they’ll tip like a MF.

Please don’t repeat a handful of delivered quips at the ready. It’s not as cute as you think.

Brew coffee on the schedule. It’s better to waste company beans than to tell someone your pot isn’t fresh. Customers will come in and ask how long ago you brewed. They’re crazy, yes, and they’re the first ones to talk shit on you to your mgr when you’re not around. :/

Good shift crew? Go out for beers afterwards. ...or fuck it... bring some bailey’s into the back room and drink on the job.

The biggest tip is to remember that this job doesn’t actually care about you so you don’t actually have to care about it. Follow the rules but, unless you wanna be a lifetimer, don’t buy into their bullshit. If they can trick millions (billions?) of people into paying $5 a cup they’ll trick you into caring about your job. <3
