For the last 9 days, Starbucks has been having a "Frappucino Happy Hour" every day from 3pm to 5pm. And in usual Starbucks fashion, there have been lofty sales goals set for us to reach. Our store had to sell 192 frappucinos per day in order to beat that goal which means we HAD to sell at least 13 frozen, blended drinks per hour....including the early morning hours. WHO wants that so early? I get that Starbucks need to make money but sometimes I swear they only use us like robotic slaves.
For example:
Here is Drea. Every day we had an extra person scheduled during happy hour just to sample these cute little frappucino samples. We pushed those little sugar filled, whip cream topped cups down peoples throats until they couldn't resist purchasing one on their own. And it worked because at days end on May 13th, our store was #1 in the district and sat at 185% of our sales goal. That's right. ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE percent. Above and beyond, baby.
That being said, I wouldn't be sad to make another single frappucino in my life.
Or put whip cream with extra caramel topping, chocolate flakes, mocha drizzle, blah blah blah in my life!
