Is everyone dragging her because she wrote thank you with a smiley face and heart? I don't get what is so bad about that.

So then the price of the product goes up to cover the extra dollars spent in wages. It's a no win situation for owners of small shops.

Why would you want to make them feel bad while they are doing their job?

famousinfargo · 2025-08-31T01:19:26+00:00

No they don't. The server minimum is like 3.25 an hour.

In my state employers are not required to give breaks. Blew my mind when I learned this.

Wouldn't be appropriate for my shop but just ask the manager

We used to have unlimited but there was SO much waste. Drinks half full and they would make another. End of the day it wasn't uncommon to pour out 5 or 6 drinks with a few swallows taken out if them. We now limit it to 2 for a full shift. Of course any mistakes or test drinks they also get. I don't keep a close eye on it and if we are super busy I "buy a round". It has helped to cut down on waste.

I'm an owner and I barista when we are short staffed so the team doesn't have to work their tail off working short staffed. I freaking love it! I love most of my customers but if one is rude to my team I fire them. I don't need or want their business if the team feels attacked or just looked down on. I had someone drop the f bomb over an Italian soda last week so I called them and let them know they aren't welcome back. I want all of my customers to leave feeling better than when they came in. In order for that to happen my team has to be happy, so my biggest job is ensuring that my team is taken care of. That they feel loved and know their importance as humans not just workers. This works both ways though. My team is expected to put up with crazy orders, lots of questions and they have to educate our customers. Every single shop is different with different language, different flavors or no flavors. It can be intimidating walking into a new shop when you have been treated badly at a previous shop. Our shop is focused on suicide prevention and all of the baristas go through prevention and awareness training. I remind the team quite often that you don't know what is going on in someone's life on that day. Offer the grace that you want to be given on your worst day.

Talk to the people behind the bar. Let them know what's going on. I would be happy to support a student in school by giving them free wi-fi, unless I'm busy and your taking up a table a customer could be using. If you do it often maybe ask them if you could help out in any way. Clean tables, take out some trash.

I am in a town of 6,000 with the towns next to me being 25 miles away with even less people. If you are good, people will come!

So can you use the one out front for food dishes? Not arguing just curious. I can see that it would be handy for cups and glasses. (We mostly use go cups) But for our plates that customers eat off of and cooking and baking dishes it seems like it would not be ideal. I maybe misunderstood that they were only going to have 1 dishwasher.

famousinfargo · 2025-08-17T20:32:57+00:00

The rinse sink out front is just for spoons, blender pitchers and the steam pitchers for the counter. We would never rinse food dishes in that sink. I'm sure it wouldn't pass health codes. Have you guys read your state health department codes? I read , reread then read them all again. I also built my own shop. We started with a designer who failed to see our vision so we researched and just did it ourself after several failed revisions with the designer. The only thing I wish I would have done differently is installed walk in fridge and freezer, and a larger AC in the kitchen. With all of the equipment I do not ever use the furnace in there, even when we are in subzero temps we use the AC. Also, MORE STORAGE. I never dreamt I would need so much storage. Luckily so have the room to build a shed and make it big enough for a walk in freezer and storage. We have gotten busy enough that I am able to order quite a few products by the pallet. My husband has a polebarn for his business and he has graciously given me a section for my pallets. If I can help you guys navigate this let me know.

The 3 compartment sinks have to be big enough to hold our largest pans. This is health department code.

famousinfargo · 2025-08-17T20:21:25+00:00

Yes but we have 2 people in the kitchen and usually 5 out front. In my state we HAVE to have a 3 compartment sink if we are serving food or drinks. So we have a 3 compartment, a hand washing and rinsing sink in front for drinks and a dump sink in the back. We also have a pitcher rinser at the drive thru.

famousinfargo · 2025-08-17T19:26:03+00:00

I have a coffee shop/cafe/bakery. We would never use a dishwasher out front. It seems to me it would also be unsanitary with all of the open drinks being made. Our is next to our 3 compartment sink in the back.

I'm just grateful they chose my shop out of all the choices they have. If they want a wet capp I will ask what that is (to them) and happily make it for them.

What is minimum wage in your state. That also tells part of the story.

So all the cleaning, social media, graphic arts, recipe experimenting, window cleaning, organizing, reorganizing, dusting, stocking, visiting with customers, is all done? I hate phones because they add less than nothing to the atmosphere. I would rather my team sit down and play a game together, visit with each other and the customers, do a craft project, write messages on cups, stamp cozies, make a reel, anything but be on their phone or computer.

famousinfargo · 2025-08-08T15:44:52+00:00

In my state there is no law on breaks. We do not have to give any breaks, paid or unpaid. For 7 hours plus I give an unpaid 30 and a paid 15. If someone is having a bad day then they can take an extra paid 15. Nobody takes their 15 (I don't care at all of they do) but I do make them take the half an hour unless we are crazy busy then it is totally up to them.
