I had one just like that on my hand. Until a bean got stuck in the brew basket and grounds over flowed and when I pulled it out the grounds went on my hand with hot water and instead of registering it was hot I slowly walked over to the garbage and dumped it... and it left me with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on my whole hand and I was out for a month. After the plastic surgery laser treatments and my hand healed the burn I originally had from the oven was gone. Moral of the story, make a bigger burn over that one and it will go away lol 😂

Holy crap. I had this happen last week. Didn't know the basket was clogged with a bean, pulled it out. Luckily i thought fast and dump it in the sink. Managed to only get grounds and water on the floor and not on myself or the partners around me.
How bad was the pain?
mcr04146 points4y ago
Honestly not that bad. Lol I was in shock and I didn’t even want to go to the hospital. The grounds were sitting on my hand which is why it was so bad. If it was just water it wouldn’t of been so horrible. But ya I mean I was forced to go to the hospital and I was actually embarrassed I went for something like that and the next day when I went back to the hospital I saw my skin. That’s when it registered how bad it was. I thought everyone was over reacting. All the skin was literally dead so everything they did wasn’t bad. Lol

Holy crap! I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the shock.
In my situation I was so glad I didn't accidentally turn and toss it on the people next to me
mcr04142 points4y ago
Oh my god! Lol I am 4”10 so I didn’t see it was over flowing lol. My barista was like ... why would you pull that out quickly if it was doing that? You did it to yourself lol. And I was like dude it was above my head haha I can’t see the brewer like that. And I pulled it hard so it just all splashed onto my hand lol I’m thankful it was my hand and not my face

I have to battle scars from my starbucks career (other than the emotional ones) one from a DSB and the other one from hot chocolate lmao

Only from crispy grilled cheese
SlippingStar5 points4y ago
Putting it in butter-up helps prevent that.
queenlechat2 points4y ago
Guys even my manager said it’s butter side down lmao and they wonder why we get burned, I almost got burned by a smoked shoulder
SlippingStar1 points4y ago
Forreal? I’ve never been told two ways, just what I’d noticed.

I’ve not been injured at a job more than I have this one. All the scars on my hands are from the ovens. And I still can’t feel my finger after stabbing it with a scissor trying to cut the tight zip tie on on an RTD bin. Take care of yourself. Hope it heels up fast.

I have an inch long scar from a hot cookie pan that I brushed against my arm. Idk if Starbucks bakes cookies but we do at B&N cafe lol

goldenlemongirl3 points4y ago
One time I got hit full force with the hot water when we were cycling the bars because I was wiping the drawer 😭😭 I still have a tiny burn scar a year later
ATXNerd013 points4y ago
I was out for over a week due to a serious grease burn on my hand. Fuck that noise. I'm interviewing for office jobs now.
Nig_Bigga420693 points4y ago
Make sure you buy "scar away" ointment or gel from walgreens unless you want that to turn into a big nasty scar once it heals. Fix it while it's recent
la_croix_boii [OP]1 points4y ago
Thanks I’ll give it a go
Mynameis2cool4u3 points4y ago
lmao last week I accidentally put my thumb on it and it burned right through the glove I was wearing for cleaning. The skin on the top of my thumb was white for a few days.

Yes on my finger but not as bad
noooom1 points4y ago
just got back from urgent care checking out a burn of my own (: love me some 500°F charred melted cheese flying off of the oven door at me.
piratedancer1 points4y ago
I don’t have pictures, but over the last 4 years I’ve gotten quite a few burns from the oven. I’m almost always placed on warming during peak cause I’m one of only a few people who can keep up with our 85 uph. I have a scar on my left hand from a blob of molten chocolate of a CHCT. As well as a couple scars on my forearm from DSB grease.
smallgoodboy1 points4y ago
I've been lucky with the oven, but I've got a bigass one on the back of my hand from some of that devilish RFTB cheese so i feel your pain >:C
GrandpaCody1 points4y ago
I have one from the bacon grease from a dsb and one from the chocolate out of a croissant
_Pulltab_2 points4y ago
Those chocolate croissants are no joke.

Sadly, I got burns from the nitrogen of the bombs we use to make whipped cream. It leaked and I got a couple of drop on my wrist. It wasn't really fun x-x

Smh the say I do is the day I sue trust me
AnnaRenae1 points4y ago
Yup. I have a scar on my arm from the grilled cheese oil flying out of the oven and landing on my arm.
