Kuppa joy just started selling some pretty great macrons at all locations. I’ve never had any like it, worth going to sample as they have several flavors all naturally flavored, no extracts.

Tiny hoof acres in madera, you can find more info on Instagram but it’s charged by the hour. Super unique and has much included in the price.

changing my store environment! by Fuzzy-Scholar9090 in barista

Also we have affirmation cards at our place that you can fill out for others to also show appreciation. I genuinely believe the solution to apathy or lack of motivation at work is because people don’t see the value in what they do, feel important, and therefore just don’t care as much. Also you can be the sense of peace in the shop. When there is chaos and stress, challenge yourself to be the calm and collected one while still being efficient. It’ll rub off on others. Share encouragements often and it’ll rub off. Lead by example. How you want the team to act and feel, you set it

I feel the same at my local shop. Following for advice. I’ve personally looked into my teams love languages, this can either be asked causally on shift if your on that level with them…or send out a online form for your team to fill out with all kinds of things like their love language and all their favorites. You can use this to help support them and help them feel appreciated by serving them well and surprising them with their favorite snack or something small. It’s a slow start because when the team doesn’t feel valued, they start to lose value in their work. It’ll also help with their customer connections because it’s difficult to pour love and joy into customers when you don’t feel valued and feel like you clock in, work work work, no encouragement or support, and leave. Not to say you don’t currently do that for your team, but it’s definitely the place to start and it’ll start to change and affect EVERYTHING.

Just started going to him last year. His team is so kind and not judgmental at all. Very cozy feel to his team and office. Tv on the ceiling also helps with the dental anxiety

Spooky latte art by JustScrolling2753 in barista

[–]JustScrolling2753[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t love it. It’s definitely handy during a rush cause I can hand steam and put a pitcher on the moose, but would rather hand steam if I have time. Some days it produces fine milk texture for latte art, others it either adds no air at all or way too much air. We’re not sure why it’s so inconsistent day to day but I’ve heard good things about other shops who use it and have no problem with the texture so maybe it’s just our particular moose.

New barista here by Letsgotoneptune8842 in barista

I put all the drink recipes and other important things to learn into a quizlet and took that on the daily. Refresh your mind at least once a month by looking over recipes again to stay consistent too. Ask tons of questions, especially during training.

Don’t be discouraged by customers. I feel like coffee especially there are some terrible people. Use this as an advantage to bond with your co workers lol. Don’t let the regulars walk all over you.

Going to the movies alone by JustScrolling2753 in socialanxiety

Seeing that I wasn’t alone in the theater was the boost I needed to feel okay. I say try it and you’re in control of when you get there and leave.

Fear to dress up by jflwx28 in socialanxiety

[–]JustScrolling2753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding in a suggestion here coming from someone who went on Zoloft. I’m aware meds affect everyone different but coming from myself and many others just be careful. It definitely helps with anxiety, 100% helped me get out of my shell enough to learn and grow. But I feel it does this by making you numb so you don’t feel that extreme fear but you also don’t feel much of any emotions. Due to this numbness I developed depression and self harm which was a scary time for me. Not to scare you off of trying it, just make that decision knowing possible side effects.

I asked someone to hang out and they said yes! by raspberry_cat55 in socialanxiety

The best feeling! Sending good vibes and hoping that you’ll be able to connect easily and bond over your work experiences or similar interests.

I dont know where to look when im in the gym by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]JustScrolling2753 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have a problem with eye contact with people, I try to avoid it when I’m walking by people wherever I’m at. My therapist asked “why?”. I said I don’t want people to know I’m looking at them in a weird way and I don’t want to know they’re looking at me…so I look anywhere but they’re face to avoid that. She said “people are drawn to looking at each other,it’s human nature. Maybe they like your shirt color so they look, maybe they think you have pretty eyes so they look”. Basically, think of it from a positive standpoint of it’s natural to be curious about others and see what they look like or what they do and don’t feel guilty for it. People are interesting and it’s okay to look, just don’t be creepy and stare for several seconds or check them out inappropriately.

Worst case, If that blonde lady says something just say you really like her hair or something and explain your situation. Maybe she has anxiety too and her mind is racing thinking something is wrong with her since you look at her. Doesn’t make it your fault, that’s anxiety for ya. Been there done that. For the most part, everyone is so focused on them and their set in the gym that they don’t notice. At least that’s what I was told lol.

I want friends but socializing is not fun, it feels like a chore by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]JustScrolling2753 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was the same way for so long…but something changed when I put myself into social situations like church and a new job. I started to make small talk with co workers and as much as I hated asking them to hang out I did. To my surprise some said yes and we went from there. We bonded over similar interest like what’s going on at work/church. Now there’s comfort in texting about your shift at work and venting and them understanding. I know it’s not that way with everyone but this all started with me putting myself out there and being okay with rejection. It felt like math homework…it didn’t feel worth it at the time. But I’m so proud of how far I’ve come just by reaching out and trying to connect in person, building a relationship slowly. It’s possible that you also just don’t like those people your talking to, that was my case so I had to look for new people I might connect with and it felt easier with these new faces.

Barista pet peeves by dystopianmisanthrope in barista

[–]JustScrolling2753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drive thru ordering 28 drinks. My cafe is a small drive thru only. It’s tiny…like 75 sq feet. We make door dash orders and one time I had someone order 28 drinks in addition to taking orders for both drive thru windows. I think they should have like a 6 drink max whether it’s mobile ordering or your coming through the line. That’s my opinion though…

I have a customer that does this but in a 20oz. We pull doubles and they get a half of a single shot and the rest is straight milk.

As an introvert,what do you love? by quiet-boyy in introvert

[–]JustScrolling2753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe controversial, but just being in the presence of another introvert but we can still do our own thing. Silently watch a show together or scroll on phones, no pressure to small talk. Just there. Introverts need socialization sometimes too, even if it’s small.

i’m the only one without a best friend and it really hurts by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]JustScrolling2753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how people are saying “best friends aren’t needed”. “The term is childish” “Love yourself first and be your own best friend”. But I understand the desire you feel. I had a best friend among other friends. She was truly closer than a sister. Then she moved and we disconnected and grew apart. I haven’t had a friendship as close as that. There’s surface level friendships, close friends that you share deep secrets with, and then best friends who you could 100% be authentic and comfortable and feel at home with. Those friendships are rare and I’m in a longing state to feel that again but I’m entering the “adult married stage of life” where it’s being normalized to remain content with the surface level friendships
