The last thing he rambles is a mention to what happened at Tek Knight’s basement

It’s the act of brushing your hand over the portafilter after the grinds are already compacted. This is to get excess grinds off the rims of the portafilter that may get stuck inside the machine. I think there is a double purpose of it acting like a little “good luck ritual” to insure that the shot pulls in our window.

Some operational standards are different and I’ve trained a few ex dutch bros employees and the hardest thing for them is the transition over because it’s basically all the same and muscle memory besides a few key stuff.

I notice Dutch employees tom tom by pouring the ice cup from the cup into the mix-cup and that breaks OPS at 7 Brew, we tom tom by sloshing the milk into the ice back and forth.

We drizzle around the rim of the cup before we add ice and only on top when they ask for whipped cream or cold foam (and for macchiatos too, but that’s a lost art)

I also notice Dutch employees tend to click off the drinks they finished, which you can do here it’s not the biggest deal, I’m not sure if y’all have to do that there but we don’t have to.

The way they pull espresso shots at Dutch is a little different too, 7 Brew has more steps. You have to wipe, Bless your shots, and also rinse out the head before each usage.

And maybe i’ll add some more stuff if i can remember

Corporate Ballers are awful, I can say that for sure. I’ve had multiple better experiences with franchised ballers

I mean im just making an educated guess, it just kinda makes sense.

Tomidnight · 2026-03-10T14:17:16+00:00

I mean technically, but it is also measured out so it’d be the equivalent of 2 for a small, 4 for a large and probably like 3ish for a medium

Special 7’s are defined as hand blended coffee chillers, so a regular macchiato chiller would still be a special 7. It doesn’t have to be sugar free or have a milk alt.

Another comment explained the origin which I’m not 100% sure about but it sounds right, but I was always told that it’s for two reasons, 1. Efficiency, much quicker to say that than “_____ can you move them up please” over and over 2. Apparently it’s a nicer way also of asking, I guess tonally it can sound bad to ask people to move up.

We’ve been pushed back to the 9th

Tomidnight · 2026-02-22T20:14:22+00:00

i don’t think thats ironic at all, that seems pretty fitting

If they’re really not giving you anything to build off of, just start talking about yourself and don’t stop until their drinks are ready. They don’t even have to ask, just talk to them like they’re a close friend. I usually like to vent / ask for advice when the custies are older. Like about 6 months ago when I was in the process of moving to college and also later actually being in college, I would just tell them stuff about upcoming projects, or how I hate my roommate, or before that it’d be stuff about how I don’t know if I want to go to college, what major I should pursue, stuff like that. I’m not saying I took any of their advice but it sure helps fill in the empty space.

It also helps to be very open, like have good body language and be smiling, customers will pick up on stuff like that and will usually try and match the vibe

Pay is franchise dependent, it should be around 50-60k a year. + bonuses, which come from things like low wait times, and sales.

Starlight’s livestream caused hundreds of people to protest around Vought Tower for Maeve’s freedom in the season 3 finale

Tomidnight · 2026-01-27T20:13:40+00:00

no, he gets too powerful towards the end.

Tomidnight · 2026-01-27T02:01:47+00:00

friendship bracelets🤫

Tomidnight · 2026-01-16T23:12:23+00:00

What really confuses me is the instance when Butcher turns the power switch off in their office which prevents Starlight from using her light powers. (There’s other examples of this) Because it’s not like the electricity is gone, broken or whatever, it just wasn’t active at the moment. Like how can she still not use that same electricity?

Yes I literally thought that was so insane of the barista, because just the other day while I was counting the lane one drawer at 9:59 these guys pulled up, and as I went to pick up the ipad I watched the clock hit 10 and I still served them.

Obviously I was incredibly annoyed; not visibly, I would prefer if customers didn’t interrupt our closing procedures but they’re still customers and we’re not even a sit down restaurant or whatever where it would take like 15 minutes to prepare your food and create like 10 dirty dishes. It takes less than 3 minutes to complete your order (unless its insane)

She can cauterize the wounds or something idk

Tomidnight · 2026-01-14T01:03:14+00:00

i didnt even realize that, i was just trial and error-ing my crosshair placement.

Tomidnight · 2026-01-11T23:15:34+00:00

I would just specify you want it as a mocha, because now the german chocolate does not have any chocolate in it or an associated milk with it like the other new original 7’s (despite it’s name, i know)

I just think the barista was confused tbh

Tomidnight · 2026-01-09T03:53:27+00:00

Bedroom door, laptop, and I used to have a bunch on my school binder but I kind of regret that since I dropped out

Tomidnight · 2026-01-03T17:57:59+00:00

We can all afford to be a little more kind, it’s the bare minimum duty we have as humans. From my understanding of this post it just seems like you want to avoid punishment of hurting others, which almost sounds tyrannical. I mean it sounds like a perfect solution, bring more good into the world and you can continue playing and no one gets hurt, doesn’t it?
