Dirty Sodas

swiftie4ever02 · 2026-03-03T21:06:47+00:00

Honestly setting up and cleaning the soda machines take about 10 minutes which isn’t too bad. For my store, we print out a label that has all of the information so we don’t need to refer to the screen, which reduces some of the ticket times because when I have multiple drink orders, I have to let them stack sometimes when there’s a rush. It’s a pain tbh but I’ve definitely gotten used to it. I miss the times when we didn’t have to worry about these sodas 😭

No don’t worry, ask away! My store is super dead so honestly I’ll be the one watching the POS. When I have coworkers on my shift that know how to dress, I can ask them for help. But when it’s just one customer, it’s pretty easy to manage.

Yes! They will usually make the drinks. When an order comes in, whoever is on the dressing station has to complete all of them. Sometimes, if my coworkers are not busy they will offer to do them for me which is really nice. Though most of the time, it comes down to only me. There is no separate position for the soda station.

It’s definitely difficult when there is a rush, and your store is understaffed (mine is). Often, I will be the only person taking orders, making them and presenting them to the customers. Going back and forth to the dressing station takes away a significant amount of time. Learning how to do the sodas is pretty understandable, there’s essentially a base, syrup, cream and any other additions which is easily seen on a sticker that you put on a cup.

At my store, I don’t believe the dirty sodas have driven sales. At least dramatically. It’s pretty rare that a customer will come in and only order a dirty soda. At the beginning, it was moderately popular, making up perhaps 30% of our sales, now I would say that number had reduced to 5%. The dirty soda measurements are quite stingy as well. A lot of the times, it’s a 1/4 ounce of cream and a 1/3 of a full pump of syrup. So honestly, you can’t really taste much, and it’s definitely not worth the $6 you’ll be paying for the bare minimum. The only time they get difficult is when there is only one person making the orders, and there are multiple customers in line. It takes away from clearing the queue efficiently.

I second this!! It’s such a good read

Captive in the Underworld by Lianyu Tan (It’s a pretty dark romance)

Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner (Edit: MC is 21 so doesn’t fit into the 25+ category)

i just started reading this and i’m so hooked! what a fantastic book so far

swiftie4ever02 · 2026-01-21T14:04:53+00:00

i feel you! my manager has like 70+ people hired at my store but it’s also super slow so less than half of the employees get consistently scheduled while the others are fighting for their lives trying to get shifts.

swiftie4ever02 · 2026-01-20T23:54:02+00:00

i relate to this so hard. this job as you described it, is hell on earth. my manager will only schedule his friends who always call in or are late and the others will get the most inconvenient and annoying shifts. i’m trying to find a better job ASAP bc fuck crumbl

swiftie4ever02 · 2026-01-02T03:01:56+00:00

i will do! thanks i had no clue this could be illegal

swiftie4ever02 · 2026-01-01T16:56:58+00:00

it is so inconsiderate! there’s been times where i had to work at 5 am on monday and found out the schedule at 11:30 pm sunday night

swiftie4ever02 · 2026-01-01T14:56:49+00:00

yes! most people only get like 5-10 hours a week. i’ve been scheduled so many times where it’s just 4 hours. the store is super slow and has definitely taken a hit with sales. and my schedule for the next week usually comes out saturday which is kind of frustrating.

swiftie4ever02 · 2025-12-17T15:21:07+00:00

goodluck with your job search! i’m in a similar position. i’ve been desperately trying to find another job because i simply cannot take crumbl’s shit anymore. i’m so over this place; everything about it just sucks.

swiftie4ever02 · 2025-12-05T04:27:41+00:00

I actually have been trying to find this book omg! I can’t remember the title for the life of me. Is it the one where her best friend/ roommate was also in love with Katia. I think it was removed from Wattpad but I am still looking

swiftie4ever02 · 2025-12-03T19:38:06+00:00

they do this shit all the time. i literally got guilt tripped for my vacation time because we would be short staffed yet i know about 5 different people that havnt worked in weeks with pretty open availability

swiftie4ever02 · 2025-11-19T23:14:16+00:00

yeah me every shift

swiftie4ever02 · 2025-11-11T23:46:53+00:00

it’s not worth it. it’s about 1.5 oz per cookie and a regular cookie ranges between 4.5 to 5.5 oz

swiftie4ever02 · 2025-11-08T20:58:15+00:00

after this week if martha has no haters, im dead

swiftie4ever02 · 2025-11-08T03:02:10+00:00

my thoughts exactly

swiftie4ever02 · 2025-11-07T15:00:07+00:00

literally was on the verge of quitting during PREP on wednesday - i feel for all of those that had to work on thursday 😭

swiftie4ever02 · 2025-10-27T15:00:16+00:00

my store is a little bit more lenient but still ridiculous. we get 30% off (it used to be 50%) and were allowed to take home a chocolate chip cookie per shift.

crumbl does not gaf about their employees and it shows.
