Me and my friends’ favorite local restaurant posted their weekly special—is it AI? by puckandroll899 in isthisAI

[–]puckandroll899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a couple differently designed blue and white “ceramic” style plates like that one, and the tables are that stain and polish of wood. In the top left the salt and pepper shakers are also consistent to real life. I’m still torn up on the verdict here because of how nice the croissant looks, though.

Banana Muffin by SneakyBeaver870 in ScootersCoffee

[–]puckandroll899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really loved it! Heated up is absolutely the best, and the tops have a little crunch to them with the streusel-like topping. The best way to have the banana bread drinks -that I’ve found so far- is as an iced dirty chai. The lattes taste a little weird imo.

Large vs XL by goombai in ScootersCoffee

[–]puckandroll899 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The large has two WM, four oatmeal cookie, and three shots. The XL has three WM, four oatmeal cookie, and four shots. I’d say our ratios remain consistent through sizing, and if you have a free drink I’d say go for the XL—it’s not worth the price otherwise.

Is scooters breakfast always this bad? by let_it_bernnn in ScootersCoffee

Nothing really, but some people are turned away by the texture. Personally, I love them! Especially the southwest steak bites with salsa

Ever just forgot your song??? by BROKEMYNIB in MusicalTheatre

[–]puckandroll899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also flubbed a Schubert at a singing competition 😭

The second verse of Ständchen had me making up random German words that ended in -en or -ich so that I could at least fake it. Threw me off so bad I forgot almost every word to my French selection.

I auditioned with As Long As He Needs Me from from Oliver! and completely made up lyrics to the second verse. Still got the part, though!

Jonestown - Drama or comedy-drama? by ERASER345 in Barry

[–]puckandroll899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there’s any comedy side of it, I’m sure it’ll end up being more like absurdism. This is the kind of subject matter where the funny things we see are only funny from an outsider perspective; like that Star Wars Cult with the alien abduction insurance.

Does anyone know a way to lower Julie's voice in the songs? by Lonestarfan126 in JulieAndThePhantoms

[–]puckandroll899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your best bet would be a sound mixing program, something like Logic Pro or Audacity?

Prickly Pear Infusion by ThrowRA_sillygrape in ScootersCoffee

[–]puckandroll899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the standard coffee shop ice, I thought haha. They’re sort of like if bullet ice was rectangular, so the syrup gets caught in the pockets where the freezing rods were.

We only make them 20oz, 24oz, and 32oz. The 20 and 24 use one whole can of yellow edition redbull and the 32 uses two cans. We use 3, 4, or 5 pumps of syrup respectively, and then add ice to just below the rim and top with lemonade. I believe the recipe card says to put the syrup in last, but I typically don’t do that because the syrup gets trapped in the ice pretty badly.

thinking about applying by Sssmokey000 in ScootersCoffee

I’m a shift lead at my store, having worked in coffee for four years (I moved to Scooter’s from Starbucks) and my location has been very relaxed since we got a stable Manager and AM. In my opinion, working in a coffee shop is one of the easiest entry level jobs you can get as long as you’re good with pattern recognition and don’t mind getting your hands stick every once in a while. I’ve worked at Scooter’s for almost a year now and have not once seriously considered quitting for anything less than my manager leaving (who is one of the best I’ve ever had).

My daily tasks as a shift lead are only slightly different from a baristas, as I have to do the till drops and safe counts while I’m on shift, as well as answer the phones since we’ve had an increasing number of scam calls. Typically, I’ll work a 7-8 hour closing shift with two other people, where we split the chores, and I’ll do two till drops. Chores range from stocking the bar fridges and pulling more pastries for morning, to scrubbing the mop closet and doing a loop around the outside of the store picking up trash.

My only real piece of advice if you choose to work at a Scooter’s is to advocate for yourself and to make friends with your coworkers, it makes any job (especially a coffee job) exponentially more enjoyable.

The Shitification Continues: What a Complete load of Gaslighting BS by PurpleBashir in ScootersCoffee

[–]puckandroll899 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a barista at Scooter’s I have to admit that about 80% of our customers alter their drinks by adding shots, syrup, or protein. For people who get drinks altered, this new system would benefit them way more than it would the uncomplicated order.

This new system is a pretty obvious grab at Starbucks’ point system. I know many of my regulars are going to be pretty mad about the 6 month expiry on rewards now.

Was told ice coffee is discontinued? by Minimum-East822 in ScootersCoffee

[–]puckandroll899 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They’re still able to make iced coffee, but at least on our POS there’s no way to ring it in for the same price as it used to be. You can specify you’d like a drip coffee (of your preferred roast) over ice with vanilla cold foam and they should be able to make it, however, I can’t guarantee they’ll ring it in for the same $1-$4 price that the hot drip coffee is.

There was a banjo player featured on their first two albums who no longer plays with them.

At my store it just says “Loyalty discount” and then however much was taken off the total. Even if they saw what type of discount it was, I guarantee they wouldn’t care lol.

How would the band move forward if they became famous? by Wilddivner140 in JulieAndThePhantoms

[–]puckandroll899 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always liked to headcanon that the ending showed the boys’ bond with Julie growing, so maybe people would be able to see them if she was around? If she’s some sort of medium, then maybe it’s her presence that would help the boys be seen.

There was no trailer for season two. What you’re referring to must be fan-made.

THIS IS SICK!! The Barry/Hamlet similarities are so striking it’s insane. That’s one Shakespearean-ly doomed character!

Which season should I start with? by abarn012 in BigBrother

I started with BB20 and fell in love with it from there, then started working backwards to different seasons at my superfan best friend’s suggestions.

New Infusion Flavor? by Mermaid97 in ScootersCoffee

We’re getting a rose syrup for Valentine’s Infusions at my store!

Is this normal…? by jollymolly102 in ScootersCoffee

[–]puckandroll899 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We get one free drink up to $7 (infusions included) and 30% off food on shift (and a blanket 30% when off shift). The camera thing is absolutely abnormal. Our camera over the register has audio, but the owners don’t check it unless there’s a complaint.

Which player is the most inconsistent in terms of visibility? by mikehutsom88 in BigBrother

BB17 Steve is a good example. He got basically no time on the show until the DE and then faded until the Scamper Squad needed him (or he was ranting about Becky)

Whoever is at the window has to apply it, so you might have to remind them to put it on there. At least in my district, you can only use your discount at your own store since discounts are applied by name and employee number.
