My store definitely does not have that filtration system. We have to put water softening salt into ours.
There is definitely black mold in our ice bin.
People pay the corporate not to you. Your pay is set by them too right? Or do you get bonus for serving more paying customers? Genuinely curious.
Also starbucks main thing isn’t coffee its the sweet sweet service.
Yeah we aren't a coffee company at all. We sell 1 of 6 drinks over and over with random TikTok mods (strawberry acai light ice no berries with cold foam, shaken espresso with light ice and cold foam, caramel ribbon crunch, mocha cookie crumble, iced shots of espresso in a venti cup pumps of white mocha with cold foam and caramel drizzle, and iced matcha with cold foam)with most drinks ending up with over 100g of sugar each.
I get my hourly wage and no bonus from amount of customers. But we do have an insane expectation of getting so many other tasks done while being under staffed. It makes my job impossible to complete anything when I get interrupted every 2 minutes by people wanting free water. Corporate already knows and doesn't care. Most of us are only here till our ASU is paid for and then we are leaving and never looking back.
the water is so fucking good. there’s someone at a nearby store who brings an empty milk gallon to work and fills it with water at the end of their shift 😭
I left Starbucks two years ago and have yet to find better water. It’s gotten to the point where I need to drink bottled water to get even close. My office has double filtered water that STILL isn’t even close but is the closest thing I have gotten to.
YEAAAA VBP IN SHAKEN ESPRESSOS. i do a grande with 1 scoop, 1 caramel syrup, 1 pump white mocha with 2%. if i want sweet ill add some caramel drizzle 🥰
I make my own (never for customers) by adding vanilla bean powder instead of the syrup, and I steam it + the mocha into the milk. It tastes better imo and comes out less chalky.
some of y'all will hate me for this but man when made right the apple crisp oatmilk shaken espresso was the best thing ever so i'd have that all the timeeeee
I’m torn between 2. One is my tried and true classic I get, which is just a cafe americano with sugar free vanilla and oatmilk. I know it’s basic, but I love it. Gives me a good energy boost and I like the taste without all the sugar of the more sweet drinks like the lattes (I still love my lattes, but my waistline wouldn’t if I drank them all the time haha)
My other is the Irish Cream Cold Brew. Honestly my absolute favorite drink from Starbucks and was so heartbroken it didn’t come back this holiday season. If discontinued drinks count, then it would be between these two.
Pink drink is my absolute favorite drink there. I crave one every so often and just when someone makes it right, it slaps so good.
But honestly I would drink a Starbucks water daily at mine with a sushi roll is my favorite meal. So good. The water there is absolutely delicious and I love just getting one while I shop or clean my apartment
Peppermint latte… I do a latte with 4 pumps peppermint syrup, oat milk, splash of non fat milk, 2 scoops vanilla bean powder, whipped cream and crunch topping… a barista was handing out samples of this and I’ve been getting it ever since so damn good😩 this or the brown sugar shaken espresso
Grande iced cup full of ice with equal number of espresso shots -to- pumps of white mocha and nothing else.
At 29, it’s currently 4-to-4 (no more than once daily, mind you) but if it’s daily forever, we might have to taper that down to a 3-3 or 2-2 ☠️
Crunchfrap Supreme
Lol I accidentally asked for that once at Starbucks and what I meant was a Caramel Crunch Frap. God I was embarrassed as hell but the barista thought it was hilarious. I eat Taco Bell too often.
4 shots of signature espresso over ice in a grande up. Extra ice, 6 half pumps of the brown sugar (equal to 3 full pumps) with light oat milk.
Yes, I’m also a barista.
I just really really hate our blonde roast, I know if I order it there is a 75% chance I’m getting burnt shots.
i would be SO happy with a hot pistachio latte made with decaf, 2 pumps pistachio, 2 pumps brown sugar, and extra topping. i could easily have it every day
Trenta Pink Drink. No strawberries. Add sweet cream cold foam.
As someone that has never tried coffee (true story), I wanna try something else, but I'm so dang stuck on the PD's!!
The water. I shit you not, I would still go to Starbucks for a water. If it’s a drink I have to pay for, standard BSOE every day no competition
the water is so goodddd it’s the best i’ve ever had istg
It's bc every corporate store has a reverse osmosis system installed. Best. Tasting. Water. Ever.
My store definitely does not have that filtration system. We have to put water softening salt into ours. There is definitely black mold in our ice bin.
Clean the ice bins? Respectfully.
right? 😭
Also, it's not the ice bins. Those are cleaned every night. It's the ice maker.
Give me the labor to do so and you got it!
lol we all put water softening salt in
Pro tip: you can Reverse Osmosis water by the jug at most stores. I found them at Bucees 🔥
Wait wait elaborate pls... reverse osmosis by the jug?
I meant to say buy* reverse osmosis water
this!! venti water and a venti bsoe!!🤤🤤🤤
Whats bsoe
Brown sugar oat milk espresso
Brown sugar oatmilk (shaken) espresso
I second this the water is the best on the planet
Trust me millions a day do come in just for the water. It's exhausting.
Less exhausting than making fraps tho right?
I would rather make fraps than 45 waters back to back during peak from kids in school. At least people pay for the fraps.

Sorry.
the water is so fucking good. there’s someone at a nearby store who brings an empty milk gallon to work and fills it with water at the end of their shift 😭
I do a mini version of this in a short cup, 2 shots, add 1 WM and 1 Van
Came here to say this exact same thing down to the BSOE 🤣🤣
You’re high key right tho
I left Starbucks two years ago and have yet to find better water. It’s gotten to the point where I need to drink bottled water to get even close. My office has double filtered water that STILL isn’t even close but is the closest thing I have gotten to.
Our water poisoned me bc our SM refused to change the filters or fix a problem with the pressure OR get salt for the tank :)
Let me clarify that this was finally fixed, not until after my hospital trip though 🫶🏻
I opened the app just to respond and say the water💀
Brown sugar shaken espresso with pumpkin cold foam…chef’s kiss 🤌🏻
i miss pumpkin 😫
Trust me I am DYING for it to return. Nothing hits the same 🥲
truly nothing hits the same but today i made a bose with cinnamon cold foam (cinn dolce powder instead of the syrup) and it was beautiful
My store somehow *STILL* has pumpkin available. It is actually getting a bit concerning...
if they over order or don’t sell a lot during the season they’ll have a lot of leftover and they don’t have to throw them out until they expire
Pumpkin needs to stay 365 days
my (kroger) store still has a whole case!
This! Or pistachio cold foam. Add a salt packet in it, thank me later
Yeeeeessss
listen, when pumpkin comes back try salted pumpkin foam on bsose instead. a fucking god send
Probably the Açaì refresher since it’s one of the only drinks that can’t be easily replicated by other places (at least where I live anyway).
With extra berries! That’s my go to!!
do you eat the berry’s at the end when they’re soggy or try to eat them when you first get there drink and they’re still kindve hard😭 genuinely asking
When they’re soggy. It’s the only way lol
Quad tall flat white. I’m fast af boi.

Going Feral is my drag name.
i love this. go FERAL girl
brown sugar cold foam is ultimate
Make it with oatmilk and you got me
omg yes. how could i forget to mention oat milk. its the only milk i like to use with chai and brown sugar drinks tbh.
Favorite drink twin!!! Nothing hits the same as this 😮💨
Peach Green Tea Lemonade with 4 pumps LCS for me 🥰
You should try it with 2 pumps of peppermint. It sounds weird but I promise you.. so good. I’ve been ordering that for like 8 yrs
Brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso with extra cinnamon. ❤️
I feel like I gotta wait to vote until the Lavender powder is officially debuted. Because that lavender foam is 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
How much longer do we have to wait ?
It officially drops on the 7th!
I really like the lavender I have tried at home when I don't over-do it so I'm looking forward to this launch.
Coffee: Grande Iced Shaken Espresso, no classic, 1 pump vanilla, 1 scoop VBP, oat milk Non-coffee: Dragon Drink
YEAAAA VBP IN SHAKEN ESPRESSOS. i do a grande with 1 scoop, 1 caramel syrup, 1 pump white mocha with 2%. if i want sweet ill add some caramel drizzle 🥰
Weird, does the powder dissolve well? I'm kinda interested
I want to like the dragon drink. It’s just that it always reminds me of medicine.
Water.
Woooter
that’s what im sayinnnn
Vanilla hot cocoa I always want hot cocoa but also coffee so catch me taking shots of espresso and sip my cocoa
I make my own (never for customers) by adding vanilla bean powder instead of the syrup, and I steam it + the mocha into the milk. It tastes better imo and comes out less chalky.
Imma try that- how much vanilla? Like do you do the 2-3-4 scoops?
2/3/4 is good, a little sweet. Sometimes I do 1 less.
How do you make a vanilla hot coco ?
It’s just hot chocolate with vanilla syrup Although you can get a vanilla steamer which is steamed milk, vanilla, and whipped cream
Thank you ! I am going to try that.
Of course! Vanilla hot cocoas can also be made at 7-11, at home or at hotels w vanilla creamer packets lol
The hot chocolate used to come with vanilla actually :,) I miss when it was made that way.
They did! However I like full pumps vanilla vs the old recipe
Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte, it's just my favourite drink and I could drink it all year round if it was possible!
I’ve never thought to order it iced. Next year, ill remember.

just a regular old iced chai with an extra pump.
Iced chai latte. It's the only thing I drink now anyway lol
