They are just terrible at paying attention to what you order.
But… if OP’s assertion is true, how could they possibly obtain a degree in ANYTHING without paying attention? I mean, Mc Donalds drive through minimum wage non educated employees get my order right and these Starbucks “college grads” can’t figure it out? Well, I guess that’s why they work for Starbucks rather than their degree field?
Lol, I posted that comment on the description of my post as a joke because people always say their name is either misspelled or purposely misspelled to make you remember your experience. There are senior year students working at college Starbucks and they are terrible at remembering their customers' orders while my wife with no GED, and almost a decade of food/barista service experience can remember all the college board members' usual orders including repeat student customers.
You can't be serious. There are plenty of college grads who are stupid as fuck. Source: have worked with many.
Also, if they're fucking up your order that badly it's probably just because they hate their job and don't really give a fuck.
Well ya, I agree with you… but my reply was to OP that said Starbucks required college degrees for baristas and I was amazed that was the case. I mean, when I order a coffee with a “splash” of something else - anything else - added to the coffee, then I would imagine that any rational person, degree or not, would think that I wanted less of the additive than the base. BUT that is not my WEEKLY experience at Starbucks. This is from 3 different locations - not one store. Without fail I will have them redo my nitro cold brew so it actually tastes like coffee not cream. WITHOUT FAIL… I understand that you may have a different experience than I have but I can’t speak for you. I am recording my experience and questioning why a degree is needed as as the supposition by OP.
I'm just objecting to the fact that you're just acting like people with college degrees are somehow more equipped to not fuck up your coffee. That has nothing to do with it. If they truly keep fucking up your coffee it's because they just don't care enough and are phoning it in. People with degrees are equally capable of making you a bad cup of coffee lol.
YES- you just nailed it. That was my entire point… their degree is worthless at Starbucks. OP was upset that Starbucks wanted a degree to work there but, as you said, it doesn't matter. They (Starbucks) have an arbitrary barrier to entry with a piece of paper (degree) saying you are somebody now… only they can’t get the little things right. You know, the little things such as getting my order right… fat lot of good the degree did them if they can’t even serve me the coffee I asked for… you know, their job.
Does not mean they don't pay attention to anything. Much like you paying attention to baristas mistakes but only half reading the comment you're replying to.
I’m sorry, what? I am actually asking you a sincere question. If I order a grande nitro cold brew, add a splash of sweet cream, what would you think I was ordering? No, really, I am truly asking you what beverage you would then hand me after I pay you. It has been my experience that I will get a cup of cream with a splash of coffee. Is that what you think I should receive from my order? Are my standards too high that I think a trained basista can provide me with my actual order? Should I just take what they give me, regardless of what I wanted, and just pay them because they “tried”?
I see you paid as much attention to my comment as the barista did to your order.
