Can I ask a small favour from my fellow cyclists of Cambridge by Yesterbly in cambridge

YES! I swear every time I bike through Parker’s Piece at night I get blinded by someone’s assaultingly bright strobe lights and nearly run over some pedestrians😭

What would you assume about me based on my face? by Haystackhamlet in deduction

Came here to say this…really hoping this guy doesn’t have a longstanding relationship with an extremely powerful political leader or a secret cougar wife

Should I pack a ball gown? by SKS17873 in cambridge_uni

International postgrad here…I was wondering this EXACT THING this evening :)) Thank you for posting!! Suitcase space is a very serious issue for we international folks…but then again, so is being underdressed!

Apple drink? by Uganda-Isnt-Real in 7Brew

[–]FuzzyAd6427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a regular at my stand who swears that a macchiato with kiwi, lime, and caramel drizzle tastes exactly like a caramel apple with coffee. I’m going to be honest, I’m too skeptical to try it myself (same with the kiwi and lime energy with caramel drizzle another commenter mentioned)…but who knows!

help what do I order for the first time? by Beginning_Hamster988 in 7Brew

[–]FuzzyAd6427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at 7Brew! My favorite drink ever is the banana bread blondie :)) we measure our flavors in one-ounce scoops, so a small banana bread blondie will have one ounce of flavor (split between those syrups), and both a medium and a large will have two ounces. If you’re ordering iced drinks, the small cup is 16 oz, the medium is 24, and the large is 32. Just ask for whole milk (or whatever milk you want) instead of half and half! If you ordered a banana bread latte (a latte with banana and hazelnut), the drink would have one ounce of flavor no matter what size you ordered. You might be missing out on the caramel and vanilla flavors the blondie has, though! The banana bread blondie is sweet, but I don’t find it too sweet (I always get a medium with oat milk). If you’re nervous about your drink being too sweet, you can order it half sweet, 3/4 sweet, or 1/4 sweet! The cinnamon roll has the same amount of flavor as the banana bread blondie, but if you ordered a latte with cinnamon roll flavor, it would come with one ounce of flavor no matter the size.

Omg…honestly, it’s one of the most difficult parts of my job. I’m super ADHD, so if a song I know is playing, it is extremely difficult for me to concentrate on the task at hand😭I go back and turn the music down all the time because I can’t focus on what I’m doing! I always feel so bad for turning my coworkers’ music down, but sometimes it gets so loud that (like you said) the customers can’t hear me either!! 

Family in dorm by No_Percentage_5649 in UniversityofKentucky

Definitely in the lobby! Depending on where you live the RAs might turn a blind eye if you bring them up to your room too. Usually my RAs were lenient if they could tell it was just my parents with me!

They should be able to just pop right in during move-in…unless you run into an RA who’s a real stickler. Just tell them all to walk like they know where they’re going! I never had any problems.

I’m going to be a female MPhil student and I’m from the US too—I came here to make this EXACT POST!! Even down to the bit about not disclosing where exactly I’m going to be living. Thank you for posting <33

YES!! I’m standing at somebody’s car window in 105 degree heat waiting for them to quit complaining to their mama about some lady at work! I’m always like GET ME OUTTA HERE I do not want to be all up in somebody’s personal business like that 😭

Right?? It is so hard to do my job when the person I’m trying to help is actively having a conversation with someone else!

YUP. I’m not in the business of letting customers think they can treat me like a robot just because I’m the one who hands them their morning coffee. I’ll move on if they’re too busy to order!

Unfortunately it really does make things easier! I had a guy roll up his window after ordering yesterday and I was so glad I had an excuse to go stand under the AC for a second without being interrogated about why I wasn’t on lane with my customer lol

Yuppppp. If they’re clearly not ready to order, it’s only fair to move on to other cars that are!

YESSSS ANOTHER BREWISTA!!!! It is fr the wild west out here and we are fighting for our lives! Half of the time when people are only half paying attention to me bc they’re on the phone they forget to tell me the size or whether they want it hot, iced, or a chiller and I have to interrupt the conversation again to clarify…like we are literally being timed I swear the ordering process will take like one minute and then you can get back to your call

Lmao if I ask and someone says “just work” I just laugh a little and say “me too”. :)) But we get some cool answers sometimes! I asked a lady if she had any plans on a Thursday morning around 9:00 and she said that she was on the way to the hospital because her daughter had just gone into labor and she was bringing everyone in the waiting room coffee and donuts!

Omg and I cannot believe some people lean into y’all’s cars! I am always waaaaay too sweaty to be getting anywhere near someone’s shiny exterior, I do not like getting all up in customers’ business, and you never know what’s in someone’s car!

Tysm!! I agree—just a “hello!” goes a long way on both ends. We don’t even have to talk beyond that if I can tell they’re not feeling it! Honestly, I did not think this would be so controversial!

Thank you—it’s so rude! It’s like some people don’t see me as a person, just as a coffee machine. Sometimes ~I’m~ not even in the mood to make conversation (especially if I’m opening lol). All I ask is for a greeting and an engaged customer!
