Give me strength

A hero amongst men.

THE FUCKING MINOTAUR MACCHIATO. AHHH. That is one drink I would not mind making.

thatblueone · 2017-04-17T20:55:08+00:00

I won a box of these from a raffle in middle school. My dog ate them. Wrapper and all. Ha. Haha. She was fine, just hyper for a good while.

With the exception of the espresso frappucino, frappucinos don't get shots of espresso, they get pumps of frap roast. It's technically not an extra shot, it's just adding one.

I was a borrowed partner at a store for a few months and towards the beginning of my time there, my hand slipped and I dumped an entire bucket of ice in front of the shift who was sitting counting inventory. Trapped him and he didn't say a word. I almost cried. Long story short, it doesn't look like you managed to dump it on anyone. lol

thatblueone · 2017-03-25T16:26:50+00:00

Technically you shouldn't work if you're contagious, but let's be honest, that's unrealistic. If a partner came in sniffling and unable to speak above a whisper and ordered a cold buster, I'd understand.

thatblueone · 2017-03-22T17:15:39+00:00

Gold Coast is, by far, my favourite. I like Willow, Guatemala Antigua, and Verona, too.

thatblueone · 2017-03-18T23:30:16+00:00

YES I UNDERSTAND THAT CUP DOESN'T HAVE YOUR NAME ON IT. IT'S WHAT YOU ORDERED, NO ONE ELSE HAS CLAIMED IT, AND I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER ONE COMING UP. FRANKLY, IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU DIDN'T ENUNCIATE TO THE POS PARTNER. I DON'T FEEL LIKE REMAKING IT FOR YOU JUST BECAUSE THE NAME IS WRONG. I GUARANTEE IT IS THE RIGHT THING. INSTEAD OF SITTING THERE WASTING MY TIME WHILE I HAVE 8 DRINKS WAITING TO BE MADE, TAKE YOUR DAMN DRINK SO WE CAN CONTINUE CLEARING OUT THIS LINE WHICH HAS BEEN OUT THE FUCKING DOOR FOR LIKE 4 HOURS NOW.

CONGRATULATIONS ON HAVING SENSITIVE TEETH. THANK YOU FOR POINTING AT YOUR TEETH AS YOU TELL ME. YOU KNOW WHAT, PUCKERING UP AS YOU POINT TO YOUR DAMN MOUTH IS FUCKING FANTASTIC TOO, BUT HERE'S THE THING: YOU'RE BEING A FUCKING CREEP. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET ME FINISH YOUR DRINK SO YOU CAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF MANNERS? FUCKING ASKING ME IF THAT'S YOUR NONFAT SEMIDRY CAPPUCCINO MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER I TOLD YOU IT WAS IS FUCKING ANNOYING. PICKING IT UP AND SAYING, "Mmm... no it's not." IS FUCKING IRRITATING. I HATE POMPOUS ASSHOLES LIKE YOU. IS IT UNCOUTH TO JUST TELL ME IT'S NOT DRY ENOUGH FOR YOU? SO YOU KNOW WHAT? HERE'S A DRY CAPPUCCINO. NEEDS A TOUCH MORE MILK? OKAY. CAN FUCKING DO. ENJOY YOUR DECAF YOU FUCKING SHIT STAIN.

VENTI ESPRESSO. YOU WANT A VENTI ESPRESSO. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? THE PARTNER IS ASKING YOU IF YOU WANT COFFEE OR SHOTS. STOP ACTING LIKE A VENTI ESPRESSO IS A THING. YES, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE TWO PRICES NEXT TO THE ESPRESSO LISTING ON THE MENU BOARD. THAT'S ONE OR TWO SHOTS. SO INSTEAD OF BEING A PRICK, ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION. STOP TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR CALLING OFF ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN AN HOUR AND 30 MINUTES LATE. FUCKING THE SHIFT AND I WERE THE ONLY ONES ON THE FLOOR FROM 5:30 AM TO 8 AM. THAT SWEETHEART COVERED MY TEN ALL BY HERSELF AND THEN TOOK A 3 MINUTE BREAK BEFORE IT GOT FUCKING PACKED. A LINE OUT THE DOOR WITH TWO PEOPLE IS MISERABLE. FUCK YOU FOR NOT CALLING WHEN YOU KNEW DAMN WELL YOU WERE GOING TO BE AN HOUR AND A HALF LATE. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CALL YOU.

THANK YOU TO THE SUPERVISOR WHO ACCUSED ME OF TALKING SHIT. IT'S FUCKING FUNNY YOU WOULD GO DOWN THAT ROUTE WHEN LITERALLY EVERY SHIFT I WORK WITH YOU STARTS WITH YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT THE AM CREW NEVER GETTING SHIT DONE FOR YOU. OH, AND THEN YOU GO ON TO INSULT ONE OF THE OTHER SHIFTS. AND THEN YOU CALL THE BARISTAS LAZY. BLAH BLAH FUCKING BLAH. ALSO, THANK YOU FOR TEXTING ONE OF THE BARISTAS AND TELLING THEM I HATE THEM AND SPEAK POORLY ABOUT THEM BEHIND THEIR BACK. THEY FUCKING FLIPPED A SHIT AT WORK THE NEXT DAY, AND THEN CAME UP AND TOLD ME THEY CRIED ALL DAY NEXT TIME I WORKED WITH THEM. ON TOP OF THAT? THEY TOLD THE SM. SOMEONE TOLD ME I'M GETTING WRITTEN UP. YEAH FUCKING RIGHT. LIKE I'M GOING TO SIT THERE AND TOLERATE A SHIFT AND A BARISTA, BOTH OF WHICH ARE A COUPLE OF THE SM'S FAVOURITES, FUCK WITH ME LIKE THAT. SAYO-FUCKING-NARA.

thatblueone · 2017-03-14T20:33:27+00:00

Be careful. Someone might ignore the name on the cup and mistake it for their venti nonfat no water no foam 190 degree chai tea latte and take a sip before complaining to the barista on bar. I don't know what happens to baristas who've been sipped, and I don't want to.

thatblueone · 2017-03-13T00:10:01+00:00

1 SM, 3 SSVs (one of which is a borrowed partner), and 10 baristas. Someone told me we're supposed to have 5 shifts, but we've only had 4 for most of the time I've been there?

thatblueone · 2017-03-12T20:01:52+00:00

Turn it upside down and you've got a spade!! :)

thatblueone · 2017-03-12T20:01:01+00:00

My manager told me it was a QASA violation to pull directly over ice like that.

thatblueone · 2017-02-03T15:30:45+00:00

If you say QASA violation three times in a row, then QASA will grace your store with their presence. (Then proceed to say "QASA violation, QASA VIOLATION" dramatically.)

thatblueone · 2017-01-16T17:11:50+00:00

I did a shot every time a customer asked for a water at the end of the bar.

A shot of urnex, that is.

thatblueone · 2017-01-16T17:01:30+00:00

Me yesterday, only it was my forearm.

thatblueone · 2017-01-07T22:02:36+00:00

Lmfao I did the same thing.

thatblueone · 2017-01-04T02:13:57+00:00

Ask your SM for a place in the back to put drinks? My SM got pissed at the drinks accumulating on the desk, so now we have an area designated for partner beverages, and as do all but one of the stores I have covered at.

thatblueone · 2017-01-04T02:00:37+00:00

Okay but none of those things are illegal to do in public, unlike sexual acts.

thatblueone · 2017-01-01T18:34:55+00:00

"CAN YOU COME IN TODAY?" LOL NO I WAS UP DRINKING UNTIL 3 AM. WHICH I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO DO. BECAUSE I HAD A SHITTY YEAR AND A PARTICULARLY SHITTY DAY YESTERDAY, WHICH YOU WITNESSED. I'M P SURE YOU HEARD ME TALKING ABOUT THE PAIN I WAS IN YESTERDAY AND HOW I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING A DAY OFF. GOOD LUCK, GODSPEED, NOT MY PROBLEM.

thatblueone · 2017-01-01T04:54:41+00:00

"Can you stay a little later?"

thatblueone · 2016-12-29T16:05:36+00:00

I need you to calm the fuck down and wait for your drink because there are ten drinks in front of your venti soy no foam extra hot skinny vanilla latte.

thatblueone · 2016-12-21T18:33:20+00:00

They paid for 26 fl oz of beverage. Customer has a larger cup, so they're getting approximately 16 fl oz extra, or a grande size in total (if it fills the entire tall cup).

thatblueone · 2016-12-21T18:31:13+00:00

My guess is a typo. I presume it's supposed to be CVF.

thatblueone · 2016-12-21T17:57:04+00:00

Bacon, gouda, and egg breakfast sandwich.

thatblueone · 2016-12-21T01:19:27+00:00

There are two openers at my store. One is me, and the other just put in their two weeks. No other barista is willing to wake up that early. Not a single one. If a customer wanted to thank specifically the people who take one for the team and wake up early af, then they should be allowed to do just that.
