When Green Beans make whips (i.redd.it)

submitted by slicedbre4d

DevilXann 56 points 3y ago

As a month old green bean i literally panic making these 😂 you mess it up once it sticks with you forever

slicedbre4d [OP] 23 points 3y ago

Its funny because i told her to make sure they all had gaskets lol

SymptomOfTheStorm 6 points 3y ago

I teach my green beans to cover it with their apron/ body to block it from getting everywhere.

I’ve recently blown up two whips myself not checking for gaskets. They’ve been how effective it is to recognize immediately when it’s exploding and to cover it up.

I’ve also seen that a little ole towel thrown over it can help defend against the barrage of dairy.

RoaringDragonite 5 points 3y ago

I was stupid and tried to make one without the spout... when it started to blow I used my hand to cover it.....

That N20 burn was NOT fun and I still made a mess.

How are you a green bean if you’ve been there for a month?

DevilXann 2 points 3y ago

Im brand new that's why, you can be fired after 3 months if you dont fit the job so im still a brand new partner aka green bean

killyousoftly13 20 points 3y ago

Someone at my store got hit by a car on their bike a few weeks ago and so they couldn’t charge the whips because there arm is in a sling. They asked me to twist them and charge them. I looked at every single person on the floor and said if I charge these whips and one doesn’t have a seal, I’m gonna be pissed, but it would be a hilarious joke to pull on someone.

Spoilers:

All the seals were in tact lol

ive seen non green beans do this more than actual green beans lol

coolcactus69 7 points 3y ago

Same, I didn't do this until like 7 months into the job lol

Assiqtaq 4 points 3y ago

So fun fact, you can actually feel if the gasket is in there when you screw the lid on. If someone hands you whips to charge and you didn't put the lid, loosen and then tighten the lids back on, if there is a slight "give" when tightening there is a gasket. If not, check it.

Won't help if the gasket doesn't align quite right, but it'll keep you from having a huge issue.

Hey hey hey they tried

Bearded_Operator 2 points 3y ago

Well this is odd. I've charged whips without the gasket before and they've never exploded on me. They've only not fully charged, and I had to go back back, find a gasket, and charge them again.

If they did explode then I would have made many more messes, I'm sure.

slicedbre4d [OP] 2 points 3y ago

Its a weekly occurrence at my store. We have a girl whos worked here for a few months and somehow explodes at least 1 whip every time she makes them. Last saturday the entire floor, trash barrel, and drive thru POC were a sticky mess of heavy cream because she exploded 3 lmao

wontonbitch 1 points 3y ago

Same 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

stellar_and_cosmic_ 2 points 3y ago

Oh my- 😌 it's okay, yesterday I was brewing coffee. Forgot to dump the old coffee out. Didn't realize the hell I unleashed until the batch was done.

slicedbre4d [OP] 3 points 3y ago

Best is when you dont empty the urn and accidentally brew another full batch on top of the other one and get a nice counter full of hot coffee

stellar_and_cosmic_ 1 points 3y ago

Lmfaoooo that's exactly what I did 😂😂😂

oxyrynchus 1 points 3y ago

Cascara is an espresso bar pump not a cold bar pump

slicedbre4d [OP] 1 points 3y ago

Well we put it in our little cold foam station (we have another blender for fraps) because we really only use it for the cascara cold foam

oxyrynchus 1 points 3y ago

Yeah but the cold foam is supposed to be made with the full espresso bar pump not the smaller cold bar pump. Check the recipe card

slicedbre4d [OP] 1 points 3y ago

Okay im just a barista so i didnt set it up lol ill make sure i let my managers know

oxyrynchus 1 points 3y ago

I didn’t mean to come at you like that I’m sorry. Just something I noticed. Have an amazing weekend!

tictacstar 1 points 3y ago

Well I am a 198 and was having a shit day and made 4 perfect whips. Cept they were breve

sammieduck69420 1 points 3y ago

thankfully, as a green bean just over a month i’ve never done that. whips are pretty easy to make

I remember this one time I was making whips and i forgot the rubber gasket thing and it exploded in my face and I started yelling “SOMEONE LEAD ME TO THE BACK!!” so I could wash my face bc it got all in my eyes and my manager was like “you’re fine it’s not even that bad” to which I sadly opened up my whip creamed eyes and lead my defeated self to the back LOL

Toni463 1 points 3y ago

I did this once, but ive been there for a month and I've been pretty solid on making them.

Except for the one time i made like 10 of them with sugar free vanilla instead of normal vanilla...😬😬😬

deckrat 1 points 3y ago

I recently started at Starbucks and have yet to make a thing of whipped cream...how do you prevent this from happening???

mochajavalatte25 2 points 3y ago

There’s a little rubber gasket thing in the lid and if it’s not in there when you charge them KABLOOM. WHIP EVERYWHERE
