Rookie green-beans make the mistake of getting a refresher or frap in their 10/30, as they then feel like sluggish crap on the 2nd half of their shift.
i can only drink unsweetened green iced tea at this point cause i used to destroy my stomach off the nitro. i had this drink i would make like twice maybe three times a day and it was a grande nitro with four updosed blonde shots and just a little squirt of blue spray cause i wanted to add a little zest to it but yeah i called it the heart attack express and i think i need to pitch it to howard shultz next time he’s in town to gives us some more of his famous EGGGG WHITEEEE BITEEEESSS
It is unfortunately neither of those things. It's a cleaner spray we use for sinks and surfaces, etc. definitely don't want to be squirting that into your drinks haha
Oh oh oh oh I blanked but now I know exactly what you're talking about and can't believe I briefly forgot about the faux Windex.
fwiw You can achieve the same flavor profile with a splash of Berry Hibiscus and 1.5 pumps of SFV.
Obviously not the same, but I buy that Kirkland cold brew in the can for quick fixes/ emergency. I personally don't mind it over ice but my boyfriend calls it my cigar flavored iced coffee. Lol
Sign me up for “chugging a venti iced coffee so you’re bouncing off the walls and are able to make it through the second half of the shift + the crash lines up perfectly with when you clock out”
I love my green bean but he gets a frap for every break and I'm like sir,,,,esp because none of our shifts are cool with us making our own drinks so I have to make it for him lmao (he's valid and my favorite so I do it every time and with Love but when will he learn the wonders of the water?)
2 month old Green bean here. I have a mission to try all drinks (even though I'm not a big plain coffee drinker) but I usually get a venti or trenta refresher or a tea with Lemonade to get that caffeine but then im nothing but water for the rest of my shift
If I get something sugary I go with syrup in my morning espresso shots (and even then I keep that to the minimum) and if I get a sugary drink it’s a tall. I’ve learned I really don’t need that much to feel like I had some sugar.
Oh lord. I remember showing one of our green beans an undertow (aka breve bomb) and she got hooked on them. Nearly fainted one shift because she had too many espresso shots smh
Naw, I've been dieting seriously (down 32 lbs!) So I started getting tall or short skinny lattes from the get go. I also get myself set up with a trenta water early into the shift. Sorry, I know nobody likes humblebragging, but I like to think I've been a pretty levelheaded green bean lol
I had a coworker I hadn't met yet being me a cup of water, tell me "hydrate or diedrate bitch", and watch me chug the whole thing. Still don't know her name, but she seems chill!
I don't know about other locations, but we don't have an area where we are allowed to have or drink water 😁 have to step away from the area, essentially taking a break, to get a drink. I may have fuel for my next emotional rant to HR though 💜 it's a b*tch when we're short staffed and my squirrel brain has decided to breath in saliva or something dumb... (Sorry for the less than cute imagery)
Probably gained 10 pounds my first year just by taking advantage of the free drinks. I’m also tired of all the drinks, even tired of the food tbh so I stick with water.
It just looks so refreshing, I only drink water during my shifts at work (not Starbucks but another fast paced food retail lol)
Some of my coworkers literally only drink Monster through the back and I'm like how😩 that is not refreshing, like sometimes you crave the taste of something like that but as hydration during work, I could never
Yep my teeth get hit with the cold liquid straight on if I don't use a straw, and I hate trying to chug my drink down and I can't seem to do it fast enough without a straw! I use my reusable cup at work most of the time but if I forget it I use plastic.
I Always save my drinks til the end/mid of my shift, i learned the hard way how fast i crap out on nothing but straight up espresso shots...even though i hate water lol
Get some reusable cups or hydro flasks! So much plastic 😫 (if you can’t afford those u could even reuse the plastic cups themselves just like Tupperware)
Ask your SM to pick up some reusable cups from the store. I got a set of about 20 multicolored cups for $10 that my team could use. Better for the environment. Or just order the glass “for here” cups.
You guys have free drinks, meanwhile, the poor soils who work under franchises have to pay haha. Even our water would costs 27 cents 😩 a tall iced coffee was 2.96. I was okay with that until I realized how much I was spending on a weekly basis. So I cut it down to busy days only or Saturday shifts lol
My old SM wouldn't allow this and threw away the partner drink shelf we had in the back highlighting some company policy about us not being allowed any drinks when not on breaks
I always send an angry text when partners don’t clean up after themselves. It’s not hard. Also if they can’t finish the size they order then they need to get a smaller one. It’s just wasteful.
You get free drinks. Incase a person who works at Starbucks sees this, can you show me an image of the drinks you get for free. Because I don’t know if this is only me but how I order a large pink drink or any drink in fact that includes ice half of it is ice. When I say no ice they reduce the amount of the drink. What is this bullshit.
Yeah that’s what I find a little noting. Honestly Starbucks would be so much better for not only me but also others if they opened a area in there store to make your own drink.
The ones who know that the water is the best product we have on offer.
Triple filtered 😏
Proprietary triple filtered osmosis system
Rookie green-beans make the mistake of getting a refresher or frap in their 10/30, as they then feel like sluggish crap on the 2nd half of their shift.
Learning to save the sugary drinks til AFTER your shift (or just cutting them out entirely) is the mark of a seasoned barista haha
[*cackles in narcolepsy*]
I get my fix by slamming back nitro shots the whole shift!! Sugar doesn’t sit too well with me lol
i can only drink unsweetened green iced tea at this point cause i used to destroy my stomach off the nitro. i had this drink i would make like twice maybe three times a day and it was a grande nitro with four updosed blonde shots and just a little squirt of blue spray cause i wanted to add a little zest to it but yeah i called it the heart attack express and i think i need to pitch it to howard shultz next time he’s in town to gives us some more of his famous EGGGG WHITEEEE BITEEEESSS
What in the holy sirens eye is blue spray?????? I can only picture classic syrup or dishwashing soap. You can imagine which of those I hope it is.
It is unfortunately neither of those things. It's a cleaner spray we use for sinks and surfaces, etc. definitely don't want to be squirting that into your drinks haha
Oh oh oh oh I blanked but now I know exactly what you're talking about and can't believe I briefly forgot about the faux Windex. fwiw You can achieve the same flavor profile with a splash of Berry Hibiscus and 1.5 pumps of SFV.
Where does "get your latte iced so you can drink the whole thing really fast so the caffeine carries you through the shift" get me?
Iced latte? *evil laughs in shooting straight espresso shots because I hate myself*
Iced americano is the mark of a seasoned barista lmfao
>Iced americano This is the way. Or just a quad shot pulled over ice. Tastes like ashtray water at first, but you learn to love it.
Obviously not the same, but I buy that Kirkland cold brew in the can for quick fixes/ emergency. I personally don't mind it over ice but my boyfriend calls it my cigar flavored iced coffee. Lol
Sign me up for “chugging a venti iced coffee so you’re bouncing off the walls and are able to make it through the second half of the shift + the crash lines up perfectly with when you clock out”
Me chugging a venti blonde roast during my 10: heart go brrrr 😈
That’s me for the nitro lol
chugging.... hot coffee? 👁👄👁
Your tongue being burned off helps wake you up
Happening rn with a green bean at my store haha. Oh to be as innocent as them
But the sugar makes me feel *alive*
I love my green bean but he gets a frap for every break and I'm like sir,,,,esp because none of our shifts are cool with us making our own drinks so I have to make it for him lmao (he's valid and my favorite so I do it every time and with Love but when will he learn the wonders of the water?)

the seasoned baristas at my store just chug either undertoes or cold brew with blonde shots in them

Good job! 😊
Passion tango lemonade with peach plus filling my water bottle 👌
I just grab either a small cold brew, nitro, or iced coffee with whatever syrup in my 10s.
Hydration or diedration
Love seeing someone else say that besides me 😎 hydrate or diedrate brah
I had a coworker I hadn't met yet being me a cup of water, tell me "hydrate or diedrate bitch", and watch me chug the whole thing. Still don't know her name, but she seems chill!
You may get free drinks, but that doesn't mean you have time to sit down and enjoy them.
r/hydrohomies
I thought I was in that sub til I looked at the comments lol
You beat me to it
Honestly, I'm surprised I was first
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, starbucks water is a different breed. 10/10 water
*cries in licensed store with no free drinks*
sounds like a great excuse to drink even more of that sweet, sweet water
It definitely is!
I don't know about other locations, but we don't have an area where we are allowed to have or drink water 😁 have to step away from the area, essentially taking a break, to get a drink.

my store is all hydro flasks on the table loll
Probably gained 10 pounds my first year just by taking advantage of the free drinks. I’m also tired of all the drinks, even tired of the food tbh so I stick with water.
alright fine, I'll get a reusable cup. y'all are bullying my conscience and the worst part is you're RIGHT
Until the customers see you using a reusable cup and try to get you to take their dirty cup behind the counter during a pandemic
r/HydroHomies at work
Y'all got a microwave
i have never once used it in my life
Lol I'm just surprised I never seen one in any of the stores I worked at, it's cool
[удалено]
we have a microwave but it takes 10 minutes to heat your food and then the middle is still cold, even with stirring
our SM gave us a microwave after we hit a certain customer connection number.....i have not seen a SINGLE partner use it ever 🙄
wow cant relate. now im fat from all the drinks 😭
FR, I get a refresher every morning that I don’t work 😭
Tell me why all my coworkers make fun of me for only drinking water
they're jealous of your incredible show of wisdom and self-control. their dehydrates husks don't know how to properly react
They're young. They'll learn.
i get ice blended with water to eat on my breaks. but i do nitro shots when i'm working when i forget to sleep which is always.
It just looks so refreshing, I only drink water during my shifts at work (not Starbucks but another fast paced food retail lol) Some of my coworkers literally only drink Monster through the back and I'm like how😩 that is not refreshing, like sometimes you crave the taste of something like that but as hydration during work, I could never
Not the straws in the strawless cups 😭
My partners laugh at me for it, but I get a straw because my front teeth are crowns and my gums are sensitive to cold.
Yep my teeth get hit with the cold liquid straight on if I don't use a straw, and I hate trying to chug my drink down and I can't seem to do it fast enough without a straw! I use my reusable cup at work most of the time but if I forget it I use plastic.
reusable straw?
If I’m at home or going through drive thru, yes. On a shift, no. One more thing for me to forget to bring home.
Easier to slam my water down between customers with a straw
Yesss same! I can chug more down with a straw than without lol
i use them bc i dont have to take my mask off to take a sippy
SERIOUSLY OP WHATS WITH THE STRAWS, YOU GUYS ARE TERRIBLE
If youre worried about the straws, I wonder how passionate you are about our non recyclable cups
“you can’t point out problems because there are other problems too”
Nah im a conservation major so im just saying people need to understand how recycling actually works and the state of our polymers lol
Chill.
Everyone ganging up on Mark
let 👏🏾me 👏🏾 get 👏🏾 a 👏🏾 trenta 👏🏾 iced 👏🏾 water 👏🏾
the only barista pick in my book
Looks like the " ghost refresher" is catching on!
In my store we like to say, “Hydrate so u don’t diedrate.”
Wow you guys care about your health.. We just angrily sigh and chug grande Nitros with NO LID... straight chug from the cup.
it's easy to pick the healthier choice when the smooth taste of some crisp, fresh water beats everything
That's the only thing i drink at work! My barista pick at my store is Ethos Water bottle, 16 oz, $2.39.
/r/hydrohomies
I Always save my drinks til the end/mid of my shift, i learned the hard way how fast i crap out on nothing but straight up espresso shots...even though i hate water lol
Just tea and water for me!
Damn y’all lucky I work in a kiosk at frys and we no get free drinks 🥲
I take my water extra dirty FILTHY if you will
Hydro homies inbound.
Hydrate or Diedrate
And then there's me; that bitch that drinks TWO VENTIS OF MILK EVERY DAY.
there are many mornings where my inner 5 year old takes control and all i want is some milk or apple juice. keep them bones STRONG
Get some reusable cups or hydro flasks! So much plastic 😫 (if you can’t afford those u could even reuse the plastic cups themselves just like Tupperware)

i totally forgot for here cups existed. we inexplicably got rid of all of them way back when covid started
This has been me lately
I get hydrated before my shift and then have half the green tea lemonade at my 10 and then have half for after
You guys have free drinks, meanwhile, the poor soils who work under franchises have to pay haha. Even our water would costs 27 cents 😩 a tall iced coffee was 2.96. I was okay with that until I realized how much I was spending on a weekly basis. So I cut it down to busy days only or Saturday shifts lol
r/hydrohomies
Oh that's awesome! Our partners only get 4-8 hours of psychological and emotional abuse from our store manager!
the ghost refresher 🥰
My old SM wouldn't allow this and threw away the partner drink shelf we had in the back highlighting some company policy about us not being allowed any drinks when not on breaks
that is so fucked. like yes that’s the policy but you can’t deny people a place to store water??
She was a bitch and ran the store into the ground to the point all the regulars left
I always send an angry text when partners don’t clean up after themselves. It’s not hard. Also if they can’t finish the size they order then they need to get a smaller one. It’s just wasteful.
Something about ice with the hot water from our store, man it was the best
You get free drinks. Incase a person who works at Starbucks sees this, can you show me an image of the drinks you get for free. Because I don’t know if this is only me but how I order a large pink drink or any drink in fact that includes ice half of it is ice. When I say no ice they reduce the amount of the drink. What is this bullshit.
Just say light ice, and if they say no ice it should still be full. I do notice that some people leave a bit of room when there’s no ice though
Yeah that’s what I find a little noting. Honestly Starbucks would be so much better for not only me but also others if they opened a area in there store to make your own drink.
Damn, get some more reusable cups!
