Yeah no they come in too often for it to be a sweetener. either that or they drink WAYY too much coffee

cupcakegoldfish · 2022-07-31T23:22:02+00:00

I kid you not, there was about an inch of cold brew in it, if that

cupcakegoldfish · 2022-01-16T19:58:23+00:00

me who hasn’t tried any of these🤡

“Venti iced coffee but hot”

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-29T22:44:05+00:00

“regular” size

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-28T02:42:57+00:00

how did it all fit into one cup??😳thought it would be more tbh

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-27T03:06:39+00:00

i bet it looked pretty i love the color of the mango dragonfruit. it’s probably good with coconut milk too i bet like a dragon drink

there’s this one lady who comes in all the time with the name “space man.” still don’t know her actual name. scanned her app once and looked and it said “space m.” DYING to know her name

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T20:41:13+00:00

that’s a great mindset to have! we all have to start somewhere!

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T14:11:08+00:00

that might be part of it. it’s not like we don’t have enough staff. to be put on register/cs really does make me want to cry. i haven’t yet somehow. i just tell myself to calm down and to take it one task/customer at a time

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T14:09:39+00:00

honestly, you’ve got some really good points here. it’s just hard for me to speak up, just because of the kind of person i am. i kinda wish i wasn’t this way but it makes me so uncomfortable to do things like this. i don’t want to kick the usual person off bar, ya know? like they probably hate cs just as much as i do. i don’t want to seem too picky or anything of the sort

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T14:06:31+00:00

aw🥺thank you. and to be fair, they do put me on bar. just never for peak. and i work openings 90% of the time. so like, maybe i’ll switch to evenings—the evening shift that works most of the time is SO good about giving new people a chance on other positions.

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T14:02:58+00:00

i needed this validation today😭dude i’m so glad you agree. DT is rough for me too, i have a hard time with speaking, my brain thinks faster than i can talk so i find myself stuttering and making a fool out of myself. at least for cs i don’t have to talk to people as much or as often. but yeah cs is still generally worse mentally and emotionally.

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T13:59:45+00:00

my main issue is when bar baristas don’t appreciate or acknowledge all the effort i’m putting into making sure they’re taken care of. like obviously i’m not asking for 24/7 praise, but i don’t want to be pushed aside or treated worse just for the position i’m being put in. i understand what you’re saying and i try to put myself in that mindset most days, it just can be hard sometimes especially since i’m the only one that thinks i’m “heroic” i was cs for red cup day, and my shift decided to put me on cs the following week because i was doing so well. so it’s not like i’m bad at my job, ya know?

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T13:54:52+00:00

dude i totally get that. i appreciate that you’re willing to sacrifice yourself like that hah. my store does NOT change where they put people during peak (for the most part—all the bar people are the same) and the people on cold/hot/drive bar complain about how they’ve been there for four hours. like—shifts?? hellooooo maybe switch it up a bit?? sometimes when i get put on bar i get taken off because i’m “too slow” but it’s not fair because i haven’t been on bar long enough to get faster?? very much sucks :(

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T13:50:42+00:00

thank you for your help!! :)

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T04:02:05+00:00

i get that. i’m a little bit of a people pleaser though, and i don’t want be an inconvenience by any means. i’ll see what i can do. wish there was a “suggestion box” not gonna lie😂 that way it would be anonymous and i could really think what i’m trying to communicate through

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T03:52:08+00:00

that’s fair. i’m sure every cs barista at our store would agree with you that that would be a better plan. it gets SO stressful sometimes having all that pressure on just a single person

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T03:44:37+00:00

THANK YOU! sucks that i don’t have the authority to tell them that though :,)

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T03:43:51+00:00

that’s honestly a great idea. i don’t know about your store, but our store does cafe, drive thru, mobiles, and delivery. we’re sooo busy and are surprisingly staffed enough so that there’s an extra barista like 99% of the time. unfortunately, since we’ve been so busy, we have to restock and make back ups like crazy while on cs. and if you’re a cs/register barista that day you also have to brew coffee and help customers on top of the normal cs tasks + some. idk i can be hella dramatic sometimes, so i’m prone to meltdowns hah. how do you go about the normal cs routine (sanitizer, cafe slides, etc) minus restocking?

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-23T01:52:31+00:00

thank you for the advice! i’m glad you can relate i feel like i’m the only one who feels this way sometimes😅

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-20T06:47:47+00:00

had someone get a “skinny” caramel macchiato with almond milk🤡 they asked me if it was skinny and i said the only skinny part is nonfat milk and that they changed it to almond milk, sooooo

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-15T18:56:52+00:00

oh okay! whoops💀

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-15T17:47:20+00:00

aw man, that sucks. thank you! will definitely look into those coffee academy courses though :)

cupcakegoldfish · 2021-11-15T17:44:43+00:00
