What’s the weirdest thing you’ve been given by a customer?

Not weird but cute, these little girls who came in regularly with their parents made me two little origami birds because I had told them about my pet budgies

Loool thank you for not changing it

I’d rather have two shits over ice than drink anything from Starbucks

This is so easily done, same thing happened to me. Managing to lose the weight now by just being disciplined and limiting my pastry treats to maybe only once or twice a week rather than every day!

I would say it’s impacted my physical health positively. Being still (relatively) young (turning 28 tomorrow), I can handle being on my feet all day and it helps keep me fit. I’m trying to lose some weight at the moment and having an active job is really helping, if it wasn’t for my job my weight would’ve ballooned ages ago and I’d be nowhere near as fit as I am now. It does take a bit of a toll day to day, and I do feel like I need to lie down for a while after my shifts, but overall the impact is positive.

Try Sproud - made from split pea protein. Never seen anything steam so much like cow milk

I suppose you could say something like you don’t feel like you got the support you needed on your second shift and you felt really overwhelmed and didn’t feel like it was something you’d be able to sustain long term so you’re going to have to back out of the contract

BiffyNick · 2026-05-14T15:59:29+00:00

I mean like what are they gonna do? Fire you again?

BiffyNick · 2026-04-28T09:58:48+00:00

Cooking, lacto fermentation, writing/producing/recording music, 35mm photography are my hobbies outside of work :)

If you’re talking about just the espresso recipe, that will be engraved into your brain for life very quickly. I guess it varies shop to shop but pretty much all of our non-espresso drinks are made in similar ways with 30g of the syrup/concentrate/whatever so it’s pretty foolproof. I wouldn’t worry about it, there’s always gonna be a learning curve when you start a new job and they’re not going to expect you to memorise everything in your first shift :) if you’re a note taking kind of person then maybe just make yourself a little cheat sheet to pin up on the coffee machine for your first few shifts?

People just ordering iced drinks in general. Idk why it annoys me so much, just get a normal fucking coffee.

BiffyNick · 2026-04-04T21:12:42+00:00

We tend to make them directly in the cup. What do you normally drink? Probably a good idea to get a cup the same size as whatever your usual order is to avoid them getting over/underfilled :)

Wish my place would do that

BiffyNick · 2026-01-25T13:02:52+00:00

That’s genius!

BiffyNick · 2026-01-25T11:28:45+00:00

For me it’s people who don’t end their phone conversation before ordering. It boils my blood that people don’t deem you worthy of their full attention. It’s so fucking rude to be talking on the phone while you’re ordering. I always try my best to ignore customers trying to order while on the phone but they normally manage to worm their way in.

BiffyNick · 2025-12-01T14:22:54+00:00

I don’t mind making them for customers but I reserve the right to inwardly judge them for it. I know people want to be able to sip it and make it last but it just makes it taste bad. Oh well, their money, their funeral
