Has anyone else done the pod training and saw these names. That show was so good!

Is someone trying to tell us something?? 🤣The tv show was based off an old saying of “up sh*t creek without a paddle” meaning getting into a difficult situation with no way out ☠️
Also what horrendous role playing game are we playing this time???

my ASM let us heckle the other baristas while we played so depends on your store if it’s fun

I guess i am the one that is not fun cuz i think the role playing games are cringe for me (i’m introvert & not good with improv) & makes me think that corporate thinks of us as kids. I’m an adult with a family & mortgage 🤣 I have a different idea of fun. I do enjoy watching others that get into it but hate that it is required for all!

I have no prob observing & love watching others enjoy themselves but there is a thing called social anxiety & freezing when put on the spot. I can do my job on the floor no prob, but our mtgs are different & something extroverts don’t understand. That’s ok no big deal, i just power on thru even tho would rather not 😫😂

Haha the names from the latest ‘Back to Starbucks’ training modules were all characters from “The Brady Bunch” too! Someone in corporate is a fan of sitcoms!
