It gets everywhere and makes your job 100% more difficult.</p> <p>I wish people would stop bringing Starbucks lingo to other coffee shops. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129839 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:03:55 +0000 bakeanddestroy 129839@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but now you have bathing stations as well in the bathrooms that only have a cold faucet, so they continuously run to the bar asking for hot water. </p> <p>I wish people would stop asking if we sell soda. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129561 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 02:10:49 +0000 BuxSux 129561@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted! Now every preclose is full of people demanding "frappays" and every open is full of angry people saying that you're open 10 minutes earlier than you did.</p> <p>I wish we were allowed to give veterans free drinks and food. Even the homeless ones. Especially the homeless ones. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129452 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 02:38:57 +0000 Human Soul Frappucino 129452@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted! Now you'll get a coaching conversation on not being spirited or creative enough with your apron and hat ~flair~</p> <p>I wish we are able to close our store in the middle of the afternoon for a few hours like in Spain, or at sushi places. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129443 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:21:39 +0000 Soyforlife 129443@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted. Now wed have **** survey reviews and our percentage will drop.<br /> I wish we were able to decorate our aprons and hats. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129431 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:56:55 +0000 DecafDoppio 129431@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Imagine how **** up work would be if all of these came true. Howard in a fuzzy dragon costume while we run around in high heels yelled at customers and crazy sh¡t. It would be awesome. :) </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129406 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 19:19:32 +0000 Human Soul Frappucino 129406@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted! Now you are also responsible for getting the abusive person to leave the store without letting it slow down your speed of service or customer connections.</p> <p>I wish baristas could be blunt and honest with customers at all times. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129375 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 09:18:52 +0000 grumpybeans 129375@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted! Now it will be fresh and tasty but worth extra points on the card.. Everyone will want to ring everything up separately!</p> <p>I wish I could invoke the right to refuse service whenever someone was abusive. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129315 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:41:24 +0000 Cmiss 129315@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, now you have to make everything extra extra extra foamy. </p> <p>I wished the food in the RDTE/ RTDE (whatever the eff it is) case was more delicious </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129298 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 23:48:03 +0000 carmelprincess 129298@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted. But the new required uniform is leopard print 6in heels.</p> <p>I wish that 'No foam' was no longer an option for customers </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129262 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:05:53 +0000 Unsweetened 129262@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted. But it has to be green, and it's now required as part of the uniform. Additionally, chipped nail polish is grounds for dismissal. </p> <p>I wish I didn't have to wear ugly nonslip shoes. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-129260 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:43:38 +0000 bakeanddestroy 129260@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but now Howie visits your store every day in a fuzzy dragon costume to oversee everything himself, and watches you clean the bathrooms. Oddly enough, he likes it a little too much.</p> <p>I wish I could wear nail polish again. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-127483 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:24:00 +0000 Hazelnut_chai 127483@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, except your sabbatical turned into a separation and now youre poor and homeless!</p> <p>I wish QAZA wasn't so ridiculously strict </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-127457 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:45:00 +0000 SugarShaker3000 127457@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but Howie loves your idea, demands MOARRRR! and now you have 248 distinct syrups on your bar that CAN NOT BE MIXED.</p> <p>I wish I didn't have to wait eight more years to take a sabbatical. Sugar wants it nowww. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-127428 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:09:25 +0000 BuxSux 127428@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but now all of your jeans constantly reek of sweat and coffee.</p> <p>I wish we had a Nutella based syrup that could only go in high priced mochas that were simple to make, and the syrup couldn't be used in any other drink that wasn't said mocha. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-127237 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:24:30 +0000 crawfordp176 127237@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but now all of your customers are incredibly stupid(er), rather than incredibly crafty.</p> <p>I wish we could wear jeans on fridays. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-127236 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:08:57 +0000 SugarShaker3000 127236@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but now your SM finds out about your wishes, rolls up the union rights poster in the back, and bops you on the nose every time you complain. "BAD BARISTA!"</p> <p>I wish customers didn't game the system when they know we have to say yes. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-127191 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 01:42:46 +0000 Suckbuck 127191@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted but now you have multiple clones who want equal share of your already-low pay.</p> <p>I wish we can practically do something against unfair workplace/pay at Starbucks rather than just sit quiet and just whine.... </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-127104 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:57:23 +0000 xxxcaramel 127104@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but now you have to go out of your way to introduce yourself to every customer, no matter what your deployment. </p> <p>I wish I could clone myself so I could talk to a customer on the headset and at the window simultaneously/complete my cleaning tasks while on bar/brew coffee while keeping DT times down. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-127094 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 22:45:52 +0000 Doubleshot13 127094@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted. However, she now is exactly by the book and loses her mind over every slightest detail. </p> <p>I wish we didn't have these new name tags or embroidered aprons. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-127009 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 17:16:08 +0000 loislane501 127009@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>No you don't. But to keep up the game:</p> <p>Granted! But now all the fatties ask for trenta iced white mochas and frappuccinos and get **** when you say you can't do that, so they "cheat the system" by asking you for a venti in a trenta cup with extra whip cream and get even more **** when you say that trentas don't have dome lids.</p> <p>I wish my SM actually did things whenever she acts as a SS, rather than just play around on the portal, not run any breaks, get any dishes done or care when we run out of whips/mochas/etc. SONOFABISUIT! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-124914 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:55:04 +0000 Bmartin 124914@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>@Marble Macchiato, (so do I..) your wish has been granted but now Starbucks has changed their policy to Gift Card / Credit tips only.</p> <p>I wish my stores had the Trenta size! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-124902 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:57:32 +0000 Marble Macchiato 124902@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted. Now, we are required to brew every core coffee at some point during every week or our store will be fined.</p> <p>I wish people could tip with credit cards or Starbucks cards. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-124892 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:01:19 +0000 buxminster 124892@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted! But now, due to the stellar speed Starbucks now offers, everybody cancels their Internet at home and spends all their time in the cafes, leaving you with nowhere to sit and enjoy it.</p> <p>I wish we would brew the other medium blend coffees instead of just Pike all the time. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-124874 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 05:26:48 +0000 Bmartin 124874@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>@Sam235, your request has been granted though due to the additional funds required to make it up to par on safety regulations your hours will be decreased to make up for the cost.</p> <p>I wish some stores had a bit better WiFi connection speed. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-124852 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 03:10:15 +0000 Sam235 124852@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but the new flavors are created by the new "Starbucks Inspiration Team" which is a troop of 20 baboons and a criminally insane man that thinks he is a baboon.</p> <p>I wish that we could have a break area on the roof of our store during the summer. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-124717 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:09:02 +0000 CanItakeA10 124717@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>granted, but now all your coworkers "need" them during peak and it leaves you to always have to do extra work during peak.</p> <p>I wish corporate would come up with original ideas for sauces or syrups and stop doing knockoffs of already made stuff (vanilla and hazelnut sauce). </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-121846 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 05:24:23 +0000 palmettobug 121846@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but now the phone is ringing off the hook with area stores that need your product, your partners, and your help troubleshooting the stupidest of stuff before calling anything in.</p> <p>I wish we could actually take breaks from the floor when we need them, not when the labor just barely fits a six minute window in which a person can be given a "ten" minute break. I also wish this "I only took one 'six' today" person wasn't me. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-121744 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:20:25 +0000 loislane501 121744@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but now YOU have to train a bunch of self-entitled pricks who can't understand the difference between "an espresso" and a latte no matter how many times you tell them. And you don't get tips for the entire week you're training these dunces.</p> <p>I wish that every time I take over as shift things wouldn't always break, partners wouldn't always call in and we wouldn't always run out of imperative product (like espresso beans!). </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7107&page=9#post-121739 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:06:20 +0000 Hellakidstemp 121739@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Granted, but some little punk with a Perfect work ethic gets hired and becomes DM before you become a shift. And he doesn't like you. </p> <p>I wish all customers had to go through barista training before ordering for the first time. Then no one would ask for a latte without so much milk in it. </p>
