I know the over time is UNREAL, but my district manager put a freeze on getting new people. So right now my store (a 34k/week store open from 5:30-10) is stuck with a SM, ASM, 3 shifts, and 8 baristas. We all working +40, overtime if we want it, and we still have phantom shifts. Its crazy.
Since my district manager had the freeze over hiring/promoting I'm still a barista. In NOVEMBER, I went through all of the training to become a shift. I was waiting for my district manager to approve me to take my shift supervisor class, while (with out her knowing it) I was running shifts. Then after leading me on and not telling my manager or me what was going on she said that there was a freeze on any promotions.
Other DMs didn't follow the freeze, and I've watched 2 shifts get transferred into out store. One of which talks out of his ass and was an external hirer from home depot who's shifts I had to run along with some good baristas for the first few months. Its very frustrating, but my old store manager apparently put my shift raise in... so... as frustrating as it is, I don't know if I should be complaining. That answer your question?

i'm sorry that I offended you or anyone else. It wasn't my intention.
However, this is the internet. You might get offended.

boring?! absolutly not, its incredibly beautiful. first you have this really nice guitar intro, and then his voice comes in and its so perfect with the lyrics which are so amazing - "At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up 'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup." don't try to tell me that its not gorgeous especially with the second vocals. And then after the verse chorus once more, the strings then come in and it escalates, and then comes back down with the wind and harmonies. the whole thing is just such a beautiful contemporary composition.

i knew he was bullshitting me, but we were slow enough where applying the just say yes policy wouldn't bother anyone else. & the latte was more expensive than the berry chai

don't feel bad - you aren't the first! i don't know why people think i'm a dude. maybe it a result of the sad fact that guys are usually the ones recognized as being funny. or maybe i just write super masculine.
but thanks for saying I'm awesome :)

Re: THE JIG IS UP. WE KNOW YOU WANT A TALL BLACK TEA LATTE.

147xxxx — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 21:10:38 -0000

I totally don't mind when people say small instead of tall, medium instead of grande, etc. But the thing is... THIS GUY KNOWS THE SIZES. He's been buying and drinking out of a tall cup for like an eon, and its not like he asks about the other sizes, he just wants to clarify the tall.
& sorry you had to order that drink! :)

Re: We had a mandatory store meeting today. I think that if anyone would observed it, they would understand how my (ridiculous) store operates

Re: i should ask the barista for her number.

147xxxx — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 11:12:18 -0000

ah do it! people ask for my name all of the time. Customers and I see each other a few times a week and feel like we know each other, so asking for her name isn't weird at all
