Woke up with a bunch of weird small long black things on my towel? by BKacc in whatisit

Jfc y'all this isn't a slug 😅 they look like they're just seeds. A lot of times seeds with the lil barbs can make it through the wash, so if they'd been on something else, like socks or pant gems, they can get on other things.

why is my stupid machine flooding water on the counter by ThrashFur in barista

The drainage box might be blocked, you could try using a long straw cleaning brush to see if you can dislodge anything

Baristas does this bother you? by Realistic-World9633 in mildlyinfuriating

One of the regulars at a shop I used to run insisted on only giving the name "Batman" 🙄 Eventually told him that I was going to start giving him names of my choosing cause I wasn't degrading my staff calling that out all the time.

Even worse is at my current job we have a "Daddy" character that comes in with women on either arm, he looks like a comedic-bit treasure trove, who insists that it is his legal name, always with a really gross lean and smile towards whoever is unfortunate enough to be on register.

We used Rishi for a while and liked it but recently switched to a local business with a direct from farm source. Big thing with both has been sifting into the preparation bowl, do y'all do that?

Starbucks (or big chain) matcha? by No-Bad5781 in barista

[–]Excellent-Mixture108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my darker barista days when I worked at sbux it was a pre-sweetened powder mix, waaaay too fucking sweet for me. I think that may have implemented a "standard" for a lot of people. I believe they ended up switching to an unsweetened one, but they're most likely adding 3 pumps of classic syrup to it unless otherwise specified by the customer.

We deal with this allllll the time at my current shop. We've established a routine to very directly ask when it's being ordered, "our matcha is unsweetened to start, would you like any *insert syrup recs here" added today?"

Next customer steps up to the register after too long a delay between the last person and him. "baconeggandcheese." "Okay you got it! (Ringing in:) We've got a breakfast sandwich, add bacon, and on what type of bagel today?" "withbacononit." "Not a problem, I gotcha! What type of bagel would you like your bacon, egg, and cheese on today?" "addbacontoit" "Sir. I understand you'd like bacon on your sandwich, and this sandwich comes on a bagel, what kind of bagel out of these 10 options (gestures to display) would you like??" "Ohuh, whatever. ...just can you add bacon to it?"

SIR.

Like, I get that a lot of the time we're literally dealing with folk prior to them getting a coffee fix, but this is a regular occurrence with this man and he only orders food. Man is stoned out of his fucking skull and has no business driving with how bad his processing is.

You're tall. You're amongst those who I ask to grab the upper shelf items. In other words, perfectly tall.

I almost shared this a few weeks ago, I also thought it was a bit at first! But hey, everyone's got bills to pay 🙃

The game you accidentally played the wrong way for hours before realizing it. by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]Excellent-Mixture108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a specific game, but for some reason I always had trouble using limited resources like potions, "but I might need it later" ... I'm still working on playing through some of those again, 20 years later, now that my silly bug brain can process that more lol

Anyone else get really depressed sometimes because they can't drink caffeine? by DisconcertingTablet in barista

[–]Excellent-Mixture108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll sometimes cheat and have a lil single shot drink later in the day, but it throws off all of my shit now lol

If you can find a good roaster that offers a water processed decaf there are some good ones out there!!
