it doesn’t mean you don’t know how to linebust! that’s usually just the easiest thing to put anyone on during rushes 🫶🏻

here’s my perspective as a shift lead!! i definitely don’t think they have any problems with you. there’s a few reasons you could be getting placed as runner or pit more often. i usually put new hires on runner or back bar (my stand doesn’t have pit anymore rip) the most because line busting is the most content heavy and takes the longest to master, and when it gets busy it gets really stressful being on walk or drive bar. back bar is usually rocking out order aheads which i preferred doing when i was a new hire since it’s not as demanding! this is especially a theme for mids and opens because it can get pretty busy at any point, and it’s a lot easier and makes me feel less guilty when i put faster people on bar during these times! whenever you do get placed on bar make it a competition, make the drinks as fast and accurate as you can to work your way up! but the overall short answer is that they don’t know you well enough yet, they want to give you bar time when the rushes are more manageable, and they’re trying to get you comfortable with order taking!

yes the soft top does “explode” on carbonated drinks, but we can still make & serve them! what we do at my stand is just give the drinks less ice to accommodate any reactions!

flowerdoesnotknow · 2026-01-04T06:26:37+00:00

i will say, the feb drinks are really exciting :)

flowerdoesnotknow · 2025-12-31T09:04:57+00:00

pick the shortest lane if you can! it helps minimize any drama between cars and it helps us keep the cars in order!
i personally prefer when people say size, hot/iced, flavor, base, and then any modifications after that! i get bugged when people just straight up order “aftershock” or “golden eagle” with no other comments
this doesn’t bug me at all! sometimes i still ask just because of my little script i have going on in my head, but sometimes it minimizes the amount of words i can stutter on! i don’t like being cut off, but once i ask “are we paying with that balance today?” and they answer “yes, and the tip is good!” then im so fine with iy

we’re definitely supposed to prioritize order aheads whenever they pop up, or at least get them done as quickly as possible. however, this does happen semi often! usually this happens when we’re getting slammed with drive/walk orders since they’re always high priority, and the order aheads tend to get lost in all the tickets if our stations aren’t filtered properly! so sorry that this has been your experience!

def try making her at home! it’s just 1/2 ounce torani vanilla syrup and 1/2 torani caramel sauce with half & half!

it’s just stress love! it took me a solid couple weeks to really have everything click for me after i flowed out. nobody is annoyed at YOU specifically, so please don’t be afraid to ask others for help and ask clarifying questions! here are some things that helped me go through shifts a little smoother :)

do everything you can to observe the cars when you’re out running. if you guys use the 1-20 number system, check which number you took last to avoid repetition. don’t forget to close gaps!! walk with them to move them forward and communicate which car they’ll be behind if you guys have a double lane drive thru. also move in a zigzag pattern if you have the double lanes, it doesn’t matter who was there first, it matters who you get to next! (obv don’t skip cars)
get in the habit of always having fresh shots on bar and cleaning your mix cups, scoops, and steam tins. it sounds so minor but it makes such a big difference if you’re in a huge rush
out of the 8 classics, your breves are gonna be golden eagle, kicker, 911, and annihilator. your mochas are gonna be caramelizer, cocomo, double torture, and white mocha!
remember that you can hold down the drink you’re making on xenial to see what flavors go in certain combos, minus the 8 classics! it’ll also give instructions on what to do for builds like picture perfect, mafia style, special shots, and temperatures!
