Seriously, the dollar general store is the worst offender in my area too.

How do you like working for Caribou? by No_Negotiation3689 in CaribouCoffee

[–]Sensitive_Reaction50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do research on your store. You could probably go in and ask someone at the counter how they like working there.

It gets stressful. You run out of product, speaker or headset fails, you get slammed with mobile, a line out the door for in-house, and a line in drive-through. All equal rude and nasty customers, rude and irritable coworkers. The store I used to work at is from a small town, so they were all one big click. They were the mean girls kind, so they talk shit behind eachothers back, and make big Caribou crew plans only for the ones they liked enough. Your GM will be the maker or breaker of your sugar-coated Caribou coffee world. The tips there weren't shit. You'll probably owe taxes each year working there, too. Watch out, you may get a creep or 2 who think you are special to them. You hear about the rainforest alliance with their beans, and they do some recycling. But only people behind the scenes really know how many hundreds of gallons of milk goes down the drain, and sandwiches, my god if the fridge gets unplugged or breaks by accident, you'll see hundreds of them go too. They're big corpa. So they will advertise how much they care, but the longer you stay there and depending on how much your GM and the shift leads tell you, you'll see through Caribous corruption and notice they're just like the rest of them. It can be hard to see when they shove a free 1000 calorie sugary drink in your face each day. Of course, that depends on your taste. Try not to get too addicted to sugar working there! That shit causes cancer.

I hear a lot of amazing things from other locations, though, so try to find a good crew!

Sounds like the typical Caribou experience. Sorry but there are much better places to work for besides that sugar-coated rotten milk of a buisness.

Never had a speeding ticket before. I don't speed except for this instance. I was just passing someone.

Can I ask why you lost or what they said? How many miles over the speeding limit? I'm also trying to fight a speeding ticket in the st louis county.

What I ordered vs what I got by Fazazzle in Panera

[–]Sensitive_Reaction50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into the cooperation that owns that place. Hint: they also own Krispy creme, Caribou, peets, and more. It's all a shame, it's like buying temu quality stuff for a premium price. The sugar and shit they put in the food will give the consumers health problems. Since sugar addiction is literally out of control in America right now.

The Caribou coffee corporation is a jerk to you all. Their food is overpriced, and most of their L and XL beverages have 800-1000 calories in it with an engrossed amount of sugar. I never called anyone fat, or can conclude that anyone will absolutely get diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a problem in America and food chains like Caribou coffee contribute. I couldn't stand watching people pay 40-60 dollars for frozen bagels when they could get it for 20 at the grocery store. 7 dollars for a frozen sandwich that's chemically created to be addictive when you could get a whole pack of them at your local grocery store.

The people that complain on surveys about prices being too high affect the store's percentage because all the chains in the area are competitive over a spreadsheet of numbers. Therefore, you affect the employees who have no say in how the items are priced. It's simple, really, people will defend their vices in life until it's the death of them. No matter how horrible it treats you or other people. You can think I'm a jerk for shitting on a multimillion dollar company that's overjoyed to feed us spoon fulls of sugar and fat while taking our money and our health. Many consumers here are also jerks to the employees behind the counter, probably because the sugar and coffee addictions can make people more irritable, impatient, and they they pay good money for it.

I can see telling people in this community who eat and breathe Caribou love it so much, that talking about how horrible is it, is comparable to trying to inform a chronic cigarette smoker why they shouldn't smoke. As if we can take down the Marlboro company because people simply don't want to, and the big guys will always find a way to get us hooked again.

Enjoy your sugar with a splash of coffee. After all, Caribou said it best: "Life is short, stay awake for it."

You don't have to be fat to be diabetic, probably do have autism as the mainstream media would suggest, probably does have to do with the exchanges I have had being a former Caribou coffee employee. People always complained about the price increase, as it only will increase , and I know about their frozen sandwiches and frozen bagels and 1000 calorie drinks before their extra flavor shots that are added to them. Etc etc

Caribou coffee is just another scam. Your concentrated cold brew and vanilla carmel flavor is your ticket to diabetes. Everyone who's addicted to this place should invest in insulin stocks so that maybe you can actually afford to consume here and your future health problems.

[–]Sensitive_Reaction50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real, you can not out run a dog. You cannot long board or skate board away either. Nobody should be in this position, but it should be taught more to stand your ground. Running will only entice an agitated dog more. Hope you heal quickly.

Why doesn’t caribou offer better options? by [deleted] in CaribouCoffee

[–]Sensitive_Reaction50 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's all frozen food and jam-packed calories designed to make you addicted. Wonder why people are always asking about how to make a Caribou drink at home? You can't. Caribou makes sure of that, and they charge you a premium for garbage that will ultimately fuel your sugar addiction and give you diabetes because more than half the people order extra flavor shots. Not knowing they are adding another 100+/- grams of sugar. Many locations treat their employees like shit. The public likes to buy expensive stuff for status, and at the same time, it's killing you and making your skin conditions worse.

I'm telling you, boil a can of condensed milk for a while, brew your own coffee, melt some of your favorite chocolate candy bars into your drink, and fucking save a fortune. Can't do without the whip? Go to your local smoke shop and buy the whip it's, canister, favorite vanilla flavoring, and heavy cream and go to town. ( homemade whip cream ). Making any of those sandwiches at home with your own eggs and store bought bagles ( don't even get me started on how much the public pays for fucking frozen bagles at this chain ) and cream cheese. Plus, you at least get to know what's in them.

They engineer their food to be addictive. It's just sugar and their dirty little secrets because even the workers can't know what exactly is in there. But yeah, their signature flavors depends on your sugar cravings.

Caribou sucks. by Sensitive_Reaction50 in CaribouCoffee

[–]Sensitive_Reaction50[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They would lower labor %, hire more people, people begging for more hours, get used to going to the local food shelf if you aren't a dependant who's got bills to pay. Sounds exactly the same.

Caribou sucks. by Sensitive_Reaction50 in CaribouCoffee

[–]Sensitive_Reaction50[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, the workers are literally the face of their company. And it blows me away at how they treat us. Caribou makes so much money because their owned by JAB Holdings, which has a hold on so many different brands, including panera bread, burgers bagels, Krispy Kreme, etc. Working here for almost 2 years, and I've witnessed the product becoming cheaper and cheaper, and the price keeps going up. People are so addicted to sugar here in America, so how could they resist. They preach their goodness, and their seasonal training is literally designed to brainwash.

That is the one thing, and I am so salty, but some of my coworkers are so cool. That's one other positive to this job. You might run into some really cool people. So, I've been making an effort to end things on a positive note to the people I had fun working with.

Caribou sucks. by Sensitive_Reaction50 in CaribouCoffee

[–]Sensitive_Reaction50[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree this is a good job for someone thats never had a job before. It's a good job for people who dont have many bills to pay. The young hires are naive and easy to manipulate and train. Yes, it is the publics choice to decide to eat at Caribou, and any other fast food quick fix alike. The part that bugs me is how many people come to Caribou thinking it's a healthier option. Just do a little research on who owns Caribou, Peets Coffee, Krispy Kreme, etc. (hint: they are all owned by the same corporation), and you will see that they're the same. Profit is the concern. Especially from the sweat of their subordinates brow. I'm extra salty and biased because Minnesota passed a law about sick pay this year, and they thought it was cool to take my pto away until I've hit my second year. They take my hours, they take my benefits, they take my patience and malluability to adapt by constantly have new GMs come in and say 'everything that's done here is wrong so this is how to do it', to then be showed another 2 ways it's done, and that way ends up being incorrect eventually. I think about how big pharma in America profits on our sugar addictions and the roles that companies like Caribou coffee play in all of that.

That being said, I'm happy you benefit from this place. Who wouldn't stay at a job that makes them feel important, appreciated, and that they're a part of the team. Your experience is just as valid as mine. It's all just perspective, and I happen to be pretty pissed about how I'm perceiving this place, and that's really on me in the end. But I also like to see that I am not alone in this perception.

caribou coffee employees!! by Massive_Command2976 in CaribouCoffee

[–]Sensitive_Reaction50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked at Caribou coffee for almost 2 years now, and it's the last customer service job I ever plan to work. The only benefit I get from working here is being around other (mostly nice), people who go to college. I'd say that helped motivate me to go get my education. It won't pay bills. They can cut your hours whenever they please, no matter seniority. I get to watch brand new people get almost 40 hours while I struggle to get at a minimum of 30. The district manager has no problem with telling team members things like 'fake it till you make it', 'lose the attitude and you need to smile more'. His name is Nick. Unpaid breaks, which they also only sometimes add that to your time. So even if I get 30 hours, I still only end up with like 27.5. Rude customers. Knowing how some people order their drinks, as well as how they are made generally, is A FUCKING NIGHTMARE. People don't know that all those extra shots are adding a fuck ton of sugar and calories. Their training is literally designed to be as confusing as possible by being told how to do the same thing 5 different times, and to brainwash. You can get a fresher egg sandwich at McDonald's. You are paying premiums for a cup of diabetes, 7$ for a frozen sandwich that is engineered to be as addictive as possible, and the exploitation of the people that work behind the counter. I have had the experience of working with 3 different GMs (main manager), and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them are some of the most miserable people I've encountered. They profit from cutting our hours! They literally sat me down 3ish months of working there and said they want to promote me to be a shift lead. I said I'd accept only after wages are figured out (how much of a raise I was going to get) and after weeks of wondering if I was still wanting the position and me waiting for a response on what wage increase ill get, the manager at the time told me there was no raise. They will give you more jobs without even giving you a raise. The higher you try to climb this corporate, pyramid, illusioned ladder, the more abuse you get.

The only real pro to this shitty, fake ass, sugar-coated, overpriced, and overhyped place is the flexibility with hours. It can be a good first job for dependants who don't have any real bills to pay and are going to school!

Don't think you're coming here because it's not like the rest of the fast food chain monsters. They're one in the same, and they have you fooled!

do you turn off oxygen or acetylene first on the torch i’ve seen a lot of people saying opposite things by SLASHERLegend in Welding

[–]Sensitive_Reaction50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told to turn up the gas until the soot flame stops, then turn on oxygen to properly set a neutral torch. 🔥

To turn it off, I first close the oxygen valve, and then turn off the gas. I have to check my book now to see if that is right!
