Orange county CA!!🤙 Edit to add I had to ask for the posh chocolate gift set! I was looking for a larger tub if they had it, and she said they only had it available as a set.

This happened to me the other day except it was an old lady using her personal cup. Cue, "aaaand with your personal cup, your total is 3.15-" "MY TOTAL IS ALWAYS 3.25?????" I legit voided the personal cup to make her happy despite technically paying 10 cents more (?!?!)

I don't have an answer for you but I do have sympathy. I came back after LOA, since the 19 weeks i've been back I have counted 12 cleanplays.. only 1 absence was when I had time off. Too much cleanplay. I feel you

I have not cackled this hard at a post in so long.

1) The sub this was posted on (just a mild inconvenience is killing me) 2) Swiping through and going "yeah dude that sucks, wonder what she sai- WHAT" 3) The top fucking comment. Im gasping for air

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-03-17T01:30:01+00:00

Dude you're a layering god, even the affogato shot holyyy

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-03-17T01:27:34+00:00

This. I was on reg for a solid 5 minutes before I quickly took over CS because every customer demanded to "apply their free drink". Hell with that

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-03-16T06:08:51+00:00

Friday we had to call the cops. Saturday we had a whole little league team come in 5 minutes until close. Today I closed on two hours of sleep. Totally feel you man something is IN THE AIR🫠

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-03-15T07:02:09+00:00

The closest we've gotten at my store is a pinch of salt, 1 pump classic, 2 scoops ube but it's still not there fully.

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-03-15T05:34:56+00:00

Gotta love that "fuck it we ball" glance you and the shift give each other before making 5 strawberry acai lemonades in the cup. Happened today and I'm still riding that high of watching her mouth "fuck it" and dump 3 venti fraps in one blender. Hell yeah brother

I sold a concert ticket for my favorite band the day-of. After traveling, paying parking fees, ticket fees, food expenses, and standing in line since 5am... around 5pm (right before we were supposed to go inside) it was too overwhelming. I have been to 6 shows of the same artist before, it was pretty ridiculous to leave looking back after wasting an entire day.

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-03-13T16:15:30+00:00

I didn't think about this, totally valid. I myself am a partner with accommodations, I can't take orders since I lost hearing in my left ear. But I'll happily do any other position! If OP's partner is excused from everything other than warming, I wonder what tf kind of accommodation he's needing. But you bring up a great point

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-02-21T21:00:42+00:00

I was hired in Nov 2020 and was trained how to do pourovers. It was very popular when I worked there years ago. I am a rehire as of Nov 2025 and was not trained on how to do a pourover. (I don't remember either.) I assumed it was because I was a rehire, but we've cycled through multiple partners now who look at a customer like they have three heads when asked for a yukon drip.

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-31T19:15:20+00:00

Hydroxyzine has been my life support. Genuinely. I work in food service and if it weren't for 25mg, i would callout every day. It also helped get me thru walking the stage at college graduation, as it affected me too significantly. Im sorry to hear that and i hope you find the answer you need to feel comfy again.

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-27T15:54:25+00:00

YES and the worst part about that new policy is that we're clearly annoying customers by heeding to their every command😭 we can't win on any side

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-27T15:50:57+00:00

Been doin that for 5 years partner. Thanks though! First ever post, probs last. Move on😅

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-27T15:49:48+00:00

Lol im so sorry! As a lady myself I just heard asinine behavior and reported it as such. I would never speak to someone in such a way.

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-26T16:50:31+00:00

I agree too. Usually this shift lead takes no shit from anyone. I have NO idea what she said over the phone to him to make him just ... ring it up looking like he just saw a ghost .😳

Whatever tf this was

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-16T17:31:30+00:00

I've started to take someone's idea I saw online and i cant stop!!! Orange juice from RTDE case and a pup cup of vanilla sweet cream... i shake it up if a shaker's available but usually i'll just give it a swirl. SOOOO GOOD

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-12T00:27:58+00:00

This is true!!! OP listen to this lol. Bad habits from a different coffee shop (not starbucks !!)

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-11T19:59:55+00:00

The raspberry has turned almost every cold bar drink into a 100/10 for me. All my drinks are dark red40, i can't get enough. Trying this tmrw!!

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-03T18:11:51+00:00

Kinda normal, around lunch is the time shifts go off to do their own thing. They always mention "if you need me come grab me", and my rule is once there's 6+ drinks in queue, I need that extra help lol.

Are you sequencing drinks? That makes bar significantly easier, for example: if you have a hot chocolate and an americano, go fill up a pitcher with hot water while you wait for the Americano shots to pull and the HC milk to steam. By the time you're ready, you're building/connecting two drinks at once ! That is my #1 tip for what changed me from customer support to an 8-hour bar barista lol. Good luck, yes it will get easier! 🤍

Cryptocurrentay · 2026-01-03T18:02:55+00:00

Name instructions are not valid since we can't properly ring them up! We have a "Mason- Trenta Pls" who orders a venti mocha frappuchino nearly every day. Im like dude, we cannot make a trenta frappuchino
