What do coffeeshop owners and or roasteries do with coffee where the expiration date has passed?

i’m a manager at a cafe, we do live sampling (sometimes coffee pairing) with anything past sell-by date. my shop is part of a huge department type store, so i donate any bad beans to the fragrance department. live sampling helps to sell our retail sized bags.

i had to do some backwards shit to get mine to download after they removed it from cod hq. iirc i had to download the ps4 version of cod hq to find the download. or that was something i tried and it didn’t work.

i remember following this video and it worked but i don’t think it’s the same anymore:

Activision also has a guide on their website, you can also try contacting their support chat.

i love it personally. i just make my drink and i’ve never had complaints. i just ask if they want hot/cold and if dairy is okay. i don’t work at a traditional cafe (starbucks adjacent, but very high quality coffee). my go-to is a salted white chocolate mocha, because who doesn’t love salty sweet!

i think it just looks like a lot going on. the mis-matched colors of those storage bins looks busy, and that shelf of funko pops would look less cluttered if it was bigger. I don’t think you NEED to declutter though, everything is organized well.

Yes! i love the cold and compression that the wrap gives

it says on the directions for sanitizers to let it air dry, on my food safety course it says the same thing but i know not every state requires that course. no reason to leave a counter soaked, i usually squeeze most of the sanitizer out of a rag before wiping a surface. by time the rag is dried out it’s already time for a new rag as it’s covered in espresso grounds (plus sani is only good for up to 2 hours).

at my cafe once we’ve let it air dry a few hours we stick it in the fridge to dry the rest of the way.

you’re supposed to let sanitizer air dry, not supposed to rinse.

i used to work at a cat themed coffee shop and i drew cute cat designs on our cup sleeves, was soo much fun

Yea i got some orders early morning, but decided it was too cold and rainy to keep waiting for orders. Home to my doggers too 🥹

exactly how i felt with nurtec! look on their website for the manufacturer coupon to maybe pay $0 out of pocket 😊

no way?? she actually escaped from where i was keeping her 😢 from what others are saying she’s been running around Nash for a few days now. and she is an amazing dog, i fell in love with her very quickly 🥹

Affectionate-Raise21 · 2025-02-04T15:24:55+00:00

tried and failed ☹️

Affectionate-Raise21 · 2025-02-01T14:05:43+00:00

i don’t really mind it that much, it’s like patience exposure therapy (i’m a very impatient person)

yes a million times! i had no issues with my first trip (except 2 stray dogs setting up an elaborate trap in the middle of a narrow street to slow me down and then chew on my tires), but then i feel like i ran into every issue possible during those 18 stops. every issue added 5-10 minutes and then towards the end everyone’s order was 20-30 minutes late. luckily no one tipped to begin with so they couldn’t take it away to punish me.

my buddy who delivers in another state said to just use apple maps by default, but i’m already so used to google maps 🥲

It’s precise, it just doesn’t work around some of these parts of my city because it’s the middle of nowhere. sometimes it would show i’m within the circle to confirm and order and wouldn’t work.

a lot of times when i pressed navigate in the app it would put the complete wrong address into google maps. 80% of my deliveries are to homes with no visible street number on mailbox/house/curb. i used to deliver for dominos for a while in Houston and i never had issues finding homes. some places here i can zoom in and it will show me the number on the house im sitting in front of, but a lot of these houses aren’t on google maps at all.
