[@CorinneThians]

this is a starbucks vlog now ☕️ lol. thanks for comparing the two!! that’s awesome there’s a lady that’s been at your store for years! she must be happy there 💖

[@watdavedoes]

The crew definitely fits the vibez 👌

[@BryanTheeStallion]

I just got hired as a Shift Supervisor at Starbucks licensed store I use to work for corporate tho I start September 13,2021. I still remember the recipes lol 1, 2 , 2 “3 Iced”espresso shots & syrup pumps 3,4,5 hot 3,4,6 ice 😂

[@watdavedoes]

Some baristas at my store don’t even know those recipes yet after months 😂

[@BryanTheeStallion]

@@watdavedoes lol

[@LakotaThechihila]

Any tips for the interview? 🙏🏽

[@jawary8474]

Looking juicy with the gloss!

[@watdavedoes]

Hahahahaha I really went all out on the chapstick on my crusty lips right before filming 🙄💀

[@tcap7386]

Dave you are probably really cool as a boss.

[@watdavedoes]

The coolest 😇

[@Rogerbowman]

Getting other Starbucks employees you work with to cover your shift I think is TOUGH, I think it depends on who you ask lol, Got denied too often. I swear my 2nd day of work at Starbucks, The opener called out (from what I found out he was hungover, big party guy apparently, found out on my 5th day)...still picked up check tho -__-. I think 80% Barista's In LA hate doing it lol.

[@watdavedoes]

That’s rough. People at my store are all getting scheduled less hours then they are requesting to work so they pick up any shift they can!

[@BryanTheeStallion]

I’m a former Barista I quit and now tomorrow I have a interview for a Shift Supervisor Position hopefully I will be rehired

[@watdavedoes]

Think of customer service scenarios so they don’t catch you off guard! Best of luck!

[@BryanTheeStallion]

@@watdavedoes thank I applied to a corporate store and licensed store . I worked in Corp starbucks and rehireable I called pcc and they verified everything but for whatever reason the corporate location said they decided to pursue another applicant but that same day I got a call from a license starbucks inside a mall and was offered a Shift Supervisor position . I already have my coffee master apron and everything I will make a video soon about my journey how I became a Shift lol

[@BryanTheeStallion]

@@watdavedoes and my location we have 4 Shifts that’s including me and about 10 Barista

[@BryanTheeStallion]

@@watdavedoes my district and store manager both came from corporate locations I notice a high percentage of people will go from corporate owned to Licensed locations hhmmpphh 🧐

[@nanipanini]

19:17 yeah just this minor incident, never mind. :D

[@watdavedoes]

Hahaha boy needed his Frappuccino pronto! 🚗 💨

[@alexjoj-escun6856]

What’s the pay of a barista compared to a shift hourly? Like how much more they earn

[@watdavedoes]

So at my store in Utah, shifts make $3 more an hour. This could be different in different states though

[@BByMARIAH26]

at mine in Mississippi it’s $3 more as well

[@jadaclowers8877]

Thanks for the tips! I’m starting at a corporate store after working in a licensed store for 1 1/2 years. Do need a certain amount of experience in a corporate store before taking on a shift lead position?

[@watdavedoes]

So it takes 6 months for a barista to be considered for a shift position BUT since u have experience maybe just a few months? Just let your manager know your interested in moving to be a shift as soon as possible 😊

[@vanessaflores9449]

I have a shift supervisor interview coming up. Any tips would be appreciated and interview questions would be extremely helpful

[@watdavedoes]

Although it is an interview and you might feel the need to be very serious, make sure you are very positive and SMILE! They told me after my interview that they knew they needed me as a shift because I just can’t stop smiling 😁 Starbucks literally says to hire shifts with a positive personality to help keep “the third place” Also, u r going to want to be seen as a problem solver so bring up recommendations to help the flow of the store (I talked about moving a trash in the back from next to the desk to the hand washing station and moving the blenders next to the ice on cold bar to speed up the process) but make sure u don’t talk bad about how things r, just ways u feel could be improvements. Ur going to do great! 🥳👍

[@vanessaflores9449]

@@watdavedoes thank you, I haven’t interviewed over 8 years, I am currently getting back into the working field after being a stay at home mom for 6 years. I just had a interview last week for a position and I didn’t get it but I noticed I did nervously smile a lot. I do tend to smile a lot either way. Problem solving I am good at that. When you mentioned your scenario was that based of because you’ve worked there prior so you knew the placement of things or just letting them know that little things make a big difference in performance? I have been looking into how to introduce myself and I maybe overthinking how the interview is going to go but I know some can be hard or intimidating. I just want someone to give me the opportunity to show how hard I can work and make a difference

[@watdavedoes]

Yes, my recommendations were based off previous experience working at that store, however having some examples prepared of how you excelled in ur past work will benefit u. They most likely will ask for examples of problem solving, how you showed leadership, how u have made a bad moment right with a customer, and how you have connected with a customer. Just have examples of those fresh in ur head so u don’t need to awkwardly sit and think about it too long 😂 u will do great!

[@BryanTheeStallion]

I’m a former Barista I quit and now tomorrow I have a interview for a Shift Supervisor Position hopefully I will be rehired

[@jawary8474]

I think I’d make a good shift… because I like perfection. I am currently working an admin job where too many details are counting for nothing… can’t wait to leave now…

[@watdavedoes]

Yes! Being a good shift requires that eye for detail! Good luck, and hope you get the job!

[@MarcosEatsTacos]

Anybody know Starbucks nightly tasks.?? I would like to know this more, or like a video of the following duties (: Especially about cleaning the Ice maker ))':

[@watdavedoes]

I made a video of me doing closing shift and talking about some of the tasks! But Starbucks employees don’t actually clean the ice maker. We have a 3rd party company come in monthly to do it for us

[@MarcosEatsTacos]

@@watdavedoes Thank you so much.!! Awh, dang... I'm still trying to figure out how to clean the ice machine 😭😭

[@springteen3743]

How much does a shift supervisor makes?, this is important to know.

[@watdavedoes]

Really depends on location and state. There was a Starbucks in the same city 15 minutes away from the store I worked at and they got over $1 more an hour 😅

[@inkarupay]

Do the shift supervisors qualify for tips? Or just the baristas?

[@watdavedoes]

Yes they do! They get the same amount of tips as the baristas do!

[@inkarupay]

@@watdavedoes wow thats awesome! And store manager?

[@watdavedoes]

Store managers do not. The tips are split by total hours worked each week and the managers are salaried.

[@inkarupay]

@@watdavedoes in your opinion would you recommend anyone to work as a store manager for Starbucks?

[@watdavedoes]

@@inkarupay I am not sure if I personally would want to be a manager but think it could work for some people! The issue is that the managers are always on call and need to pick up missing shifts. Can be very demanding.

[@Alona86]

Is it a barista job to date dot the sandwich or pastries?

[@watdavedoes]

The shift needs to date dot when they are doing the pull. A barista should never be responsible for date dotting

[@BryanTheeStallion]

I have a question fan is it true an old coworker told me that you guys are mandating the vaccine is that true he said they have to have one dose by the 13 is this true

[@markee301]

NO depending on the store location and state laws. I know my DC location vaccines are not mandatory at all but wearing a mask is mandatory for workers and customers.

[@watdavedoes]

No vaccine mandating to work at my store yet but different districts might operate differently. They would have told you in your interview though if that was the case

[@BryanTheeStallion]

@@watdavedoes ok thank
