They did it because uptight atheist customers were complaining about the commercialization and prevalence of Christ-mas.
Just say yes.

(Side complaint: Customers who refuse to believe that Holiday and Xmas are the same)
Acting like Tribute was a special, one-time-only blend, then bringing it back next year.
Wanting us to put all the Frappuccino sauce/syrup in the cups, then the blender, then back to the same cup.

in my area they just changed deployment AGAIN... I don't know if this is a national thing or just here. basically, with 5 part coverage we did have it where we had a drive register, front register, floater, order taker and bar. floater's job was grabbing coffee, pastries, etc for drive, jumping on front register to ring when front person needed to brew coffee while they had a long line of customers, occasionally double barring, and occasionally grabbing brewed coffees/sandwiches for front. NOW... floater's job is brewing all coffee, doing all lobby slides, PLUS all that crap I said up there. Order taker cannot do anything except stand at the computer inputting orders. In very rare cases they can get brewed coffees for drive thru, only because they are right by the order computer. We were using this deployment the other day and there were so many times when I, as the order taker, found myself calling over the headset for pastries several different times because the floater didn't hear me, or forgot what I needed because she was busy brewing coffee and such. I don't get it... plus our DM said the our SM needs to be the floater on any day she's working and the shift is the order taker, which means I am supposed to run a shift from a position where I am required to stay planted. As the shift I always deploy myself to float because I feel like I can keep tabs on everything going on in the store better that way. I DON'T GET IT.

Pushing whole bean sales under the guise of "supporting" small farms.........
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yeah, trentasquatch. Those farms got their money when Starbucks signed their contracts w/them. I mentioned this to my SM and she said "well, it's supply and demand."
Great. So "demand" is artificially inflated over the course of a few days, and we order extra coffee to meet this so-called "demand" and we're left with excess coffee? Ugh.

And in one of the many memos they stated that they couldn't guarantee that the funds would go to support any specific farms. Or that not every farm was getting money, that we're just supposed to take their word for it.

Not to diverge the topic here but do Starbucks still use Ethiopian beans? I saw documentary back in high school about how these farmers were being paid way less (like some cents) in exchange for the coffee beans.

Holiday Blend is for the heavily populated Jewish areas.

forcing us to rip open individual blonde roast whole bean bags instead of sending us **** five pound bullets.
Posted 1 year ago # -
lulz we open individual blonde bags because it's not selling enough to justify manufacturing/ordering 5# blonde bullets.

I am sick of the stupid bags of whole bean blonde. Why won't they send us bullets? Did they stop making them?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I was told that they're repackaging Blonde to be "Indivisible Roast" or some **** (to go with those wristbands I guess). I miss bullets and not having to run out for a few pounds during a rush.

To summarize that, Blonde roast in a general sense. Whoever's idea it was to have coffees 'even lighter than our lightest coffees!!!' should take one for the team and stick their head in a warming oven.
The single pound I sold? I felt dirty.
