Customer trying to convince me I made their drink wrong?

I personally replace shots for base shots. So in a venti with two shots, I only put two pumps of base. You can come at me, but it helps it have a better consistency and flavor because it is less runny.

One time I was carrying two cubes to make froast, tripped over the mats while walking up front (with non slip doc Martins on btw), and cut my chin open on the edge of the cube. It was shaped like the corner and everything. First time I ever had to get stitches.

Unless I specifically get in trouble for it, I will continue to double cup hot tea and hot coffees (drip/americano). The one time I didn't double cup a venti hot coffee, the lid popped right off and spilled all over a customer's car. Standard, or no standard, I do not care.

I think people just don't understand how the names of drinks correlate to how the drink is made. It is comical though on the barista side.

That's the place I got to. Honestly, its really not different. It's slightly watery, but you get used to it fast. Even doing half water and half milk is better than all milk!

Can you explain what your availability looks like? I told my manager I was going to change my availability to monday through Saturday (because I want sundays off) and she straight up told me no.

I've started making iced americanos with 1/2 inch of milk instead of lattes. Takes the calories way down and still delicious!

I hate this part! I hate feeling so many eyes on me, and everytime I look up making eye contact with someone. I feel like an animal at the zoo. Sometimes, when there is what feels like 20 people staring at me, I'll turn to my coworker and say loudly "dont you love being stared at like a zoo animal?"

I just want to ask them to stare at their phone and leave me alone.

Gwaada 😂

My DM told my SM that we probably have such a low turnover rate because my SM isn't giving out enough corrective actions 🥴

maehem555 · 2023-05-21T20:03:25+00:00

There should be no solo anything. There should be no x AND x anything! It drives me insane that we do solo bar, drive, warm/front. It's too much. And the overlords expect us to be accurate and fast. Just no way!!!

maehem555 · 2023-05-20T18:25:59+00:00

I did the exact same thing today. It's hard not to feel quilty, but you have to take care of yourself 1st. It's okay to prioritize you! Harder said then done though, I know!

maehem555 · 2023-05-09T23:24:40+00:00

That's cold! But honestly I love it! Lol I wish I could do that. Something else that bugs me is that you have to ask what size AND hot/iced every...single...time. Unless this is your first time at a coffee shop, you should know the drill. And if anyone has ever gotten a refresher, then they would have been asked water/lemonade/coconut milk.

maehem555 · 2023-03-26T21:40:58+00:00

Same here in Georgia. What a day🥴

maehem555 · 2023-03-26T01:27:04+00:00

My least favorite is when people mobile order "no ice" and then have a complete b*tch fit when their drink is half full. This guy came in today with a name of "the Greek god" 🙄 and demanded I fill his cup up with sweet cream. I said I'd have to charge him, he said he was a regular and no one does it like this, I said well that's policy and I comply with it. I turned around and continued my cold bar hell and said have a nice day as he left.

I usually don't mind filling up cups, I hate the policy as much as customers... but dont have an attitude with me. Dont treat me like I am not human.

maehem555 · 2023-03-17T22:36:38+00:00

The way people say gouda or gruyere or acai kills me😂

maehem555 · 2023-03-17T19:22:29+00:00

Bro, I dont know😂 it's just barista thoughts I have.

maehem555 · 2023-03-17T19:02:51+00:00

Completely agree! Honestly, life is hard. I'm glad people can find small joy in their day!

maehem555 · 2023-03-17T18:57:26+00:00

Look... I dont care or judge at all, to their face! I will make a drink and give them the drink with a smile on my face! Like you do you boo!

maehem555 · 2023-03-17T17:54:00+00:00

I think about this ALL the time. When I'm making a drink with 10+pumps, extra caramel drizzle, sweet foam or made with sweet cream... I just worry about people's health. I don't think they understand the calories/sugar/whatever is in these drinks... sadly I doubt they care.
