I used to be scared ordering something at starbucks because i have social anxiety and I always feel intimidated by the ambiance, employees and the customers itself. however, since i work there now and i know alot of drinks, it’s not really as intimidating as I thought of it the first time lol
Kristine Cubacub Yeah I applied without any job experience but they still hired me. I don’t have prior coffee knowledge which is fine for them because you’ll learn it on the way. Memorizing drinks for me was easy because I’m a fast learner. I’m only a month in and I already got the hang of POS and most drinks. I downloaded the sbux app and memorized all the recipes of the drinks too. One thing I noticed is that most customers will always order the same thing so you’ll be familiarized with the customizations they ask. Just don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions. Partners like it when you do because they know you care about the job and how to do things right. For trainings, I did two days of computer trainings and hands-on afterwards. I had practice shift for two weeks before they threw me to the wolves. It was a lotta pressure but I managed to survive those hellish week. The trainer that I had was very helpful. She was detailed when she was training us and she gave us good tips on how to memorize things especially POS. I mean, tbh It just depends on the store you’re going to work at. It’s gonna be hard at first especially if customers are very detailed with their orders. You won’t be able to catch up with them but it is okay to ask them if they can repeat it and tell them you’re still new. I had that struggle first couple weeks and I almost quit but my coworkers were super nice and they always make you feel like you’re not the only person who made that mistake before. If you like fast paced environment totally recommend applying at Sbux, however if you don’t, Ig this isn’t the right place to apply.
samiul gamer same hhh. I get anxiety ordering Starbucks not only because I cannot pronounce some of the drinks correctly, but the fact that I have to teacher the person who takes my order pronounce my name every time is so annoying, and they still don’t get it. I think I’ll just use a fake simple name next time lol
@@kexinjiang9048 That's unlucky but you know what you could actually turn it into fun! Maybe pick a different alias/fake name every time you go haha, all the names could be characters from the same film or something *wink*
Still remember how awkward and nervous my first time was. 'Can I get a cup of latte with soy milk?' 'Please?' After a few visits, I realised no one actually says 'a cup of' LOL so I just listened to people and wrote down what I heard and practiced at home LOL
Anxiety is simply Doubting Yourself. Usually, it is caused at an early age by Someone doubting you. Once you realize (logically) that YOU CAN HANDLE ANYTHING👍 then the anxiety dies.
I'm a native English speaker and just stumbled upon this video (don't know why this was in my recommended). I never would have imagined that this is skill that an English learner would need to master since it comes second nature to me. Nevertheless, it's very necessary! This is such a great video on something that is probably overlooked when teaching English!!
Ah thanks so much for your kind words Maddie. Yeah it's little moments like trying to order coffee that can really stump an English language learner so I wanted to help them in a variety of these situations.
I loved this video!!! I hope you make more like this!! Like how can we ask for information at the phone when calling an office, buy clothes, order in a restaurant and ask for the special, buy a train/plane ticket, buy a cinema ticket and popcorn, call someone's house and ask to speak to someone, call to a online store's call center to request info about an order (when is it going to arrive), call to the doctor to cancel or reschedule an appointment, etc.
Your channel is really helpful. I had taken English Lessons with my private tutor since February 2018 to improve my English. And for an extra efforts I found your channel and it is so helpful. Thank you..
Omg finally somebody who knows how to successfully articulate into words what to order! I'm 33, single and I'm also from the UK. I've been to Starbucks a few times but I ALWAYS get anxiety and nervous every time I walk into a Starbucks and order, it's ridiculous i feel like a kid and i'm 33. I usually say, i'd like a medium mocha, and that's it full stop haha... i have absolutely NO IDEA about the toppings and type of milk and expresso etc... honestly i need to get out the house more! Anyways it's 2018 now and i'm planning on going Starbucks tomorrow.. i have no idea what a latte is, never had latte,... i have no idea what iced coffee is, never tasted it (I think it's also important to note that i don't have any friends in my pathetic life so i'm forced to go to a lot of places alone and figure things out for myself, so going alone only makes my anxiety even worse). i wouldn't even know how to drink an ice cofffee, like the correct way.. i'm basically clueless.. but you've put things into a little more perspective, so thank you Mr Eat Sleep Dream English man
I'm Mexican and I just found your channel. It is such a blessing! I speak American English but I learned it mixed up with the British English so I'm trying now to learn the full British English because I love it and your videos are extra helpfull. Thanks a lot!
Since I've been learning the american english since little is quite hard for me to understand the british english, but with you I understood everything you were saying. Thanks for the tips.
I actually never been in any starbucks store, even when I already start working. I scared to go in SB stores for the reason that I might pronounce the coffee's name wrong. 😭😭😭.
there’s this drink that im dying to try but i’m scared to order it incase i say it wrong. also last time i went to starbucks i had to facetime by bestfriend because incase i nervous laugh so i can pretend that i’m laughing at her AHJSHH 💀👉🏼👈🏼
Hello Tom! I love the fact that in your videos you also show us your city... It's a very entertaining way of learning... You're doing a great job and you're a very good teacher... We're going to visit London this summer and your videos are really helpful. Thank you very much! Greetings from Barcelona...
Dont know how I ended up watching this, but I have a tip to visitors... Americans dont use the term 'Take away' like the UK does. We tend to say 'To go'. Youll be asked, 'Is that for here, or to go?' ....just thought I'd share.
Starbucks has so many options it’s intimidating to me ( American). BUT I braved it years ago by starting simple and took it from there. Loved reading these comments to know I’m not alone.
I used to think ordering in Starbucks is so stressful. Kinda afraid to go tbh. Thanks for the vid. Will try to go next time :) Also, that cup of caramel popcorn cappuccino looks soooo cute! Hope we will have it in Taiwan soon :")
Thanks for the message Yennie, I'm glad you found it useful. Good luck for the next time you order Starbucks in English I hope it goes well. Let me know : )
+Eat Sleep Dream English, if we are having an iced coffee, how can we ask for "little" ice, in my case, I don't like many cubes of ice I'm my drink. Thanks in advance
@@alexp.7193 Yes! You can ask for anything! Less ice, extra this ,extra that. Don't worry just ask the server anything. If they can't do that because of some reason, they'll let you know.
Thanks! My English is not so bad but you know, ordering food at cafe or something makes me nervous, sometimes person at the counter doesn’t understand me once. But thanks to this video, I will try again😘
Well I had to suffer humiliation in one of the SB stores ...it was definitely not because of my vocabulary but was certainly because of lack of exposure. You have been successful in empathising people and that's so nice of you. I wish the world was full of people like you. Good Luck Mate!
Thank you for confirming the fact that ordering at Starbucks (or any other coffee place or restaurant for that matter) is intimidating. And thank you for the great video. I'm here after watching the video titled "10 Starbucks drinks you're saying wrong" which was very helpful
Thank you... Indeed,That's really imformative... Probably...moving to canada next year ...for studies... Well, that will be really helpful to make myself comfortable to communicate...
I have recently discovered your channel and I do love it!! Thanks for your clear explanations and useful contents. I'm a Spanish teacher of English and I'm sure I'll use contents from your videos for my classes ;)
Thank you so much for this helpful video. A lot of times I want to order something to eat or to drink; but because I don’t know the names of what they have available and how they size them I just starve myself. Hope I am not the only one.
Shoutout to my dad who said „I become a latte“ and didn’t understand why the barista was so confused xD (it’s a common mistake made by Germans like him because in German, the verb „to get“ is very similar to „to become“)
I listed down ur tips on how to order in starbucks bcz i really dnt know how to order and what to order ...thanks for the good tips I've learned from you...God bless !
Hi there, I was wondering how should I answer when the barista ask me how much sugar do you want? I always say two or three. Is that correct? I mean just say a number.
This is a great video lesson. He explained in details step by step how order coffee at Starbucks and then he provided the complete conversation on how to order coffee at Starbucks. It's crystal clear explanations in details. That's a helpful/useful video lesson. Keep it up. 👍👍👍👍👍
i loved the video, I'm going to use it with my adult students of English here in BA, Argentina. I think it'd be a good idea to make another video explaining what the cakes are made of and how to order. at minute 6:38 you could expand more on that.
Hey,totally unrelated question,but want to ask which of the cities is better between Leicester and Nottingham for students? Like in terms of socializing and student life.
I'm in love with your channel...I have watched almost all of your videos and they are always useful and fun...all the videos are so clear direct to the point...you never disappoint your students...love from India
I speak English perfectly, I just mentally can’t order. I have really bad anxiety and really don’t have any confidence ordering anywhere and just get my sister to do it. I’m gonna try this tomorrow and see how it goes!

Wet: less or no foam
Dry: more foam, less milk/no milk
Con panna: shot with dollop of whipped cream

Nice
"what language is that?"
*"Starbuck's language :v"*
How come “short” or “demi” isn’t ever mentioned?
Summed up everything. Thanks.
My friend says, "I don't speak Starbucks." LOL!!!

You have to use mate instead of friend.

I can speak English but I am not confident on ordering so what I do is just make some Nescafe at home 😂

I do the same

Hhhhh same here😫 we should learn how to order from Starbucks at school
Still remember how awkward and nervous my first time was. 'Can I get a cup of latte with soy milk?' 'Please?' After a few visits, I realised no one actually says 'a cup of' LOL so I just listened to people and wrote down what I heard and practiced at home LOL
