Three trentas? Bro, you do you but that’s a lot of sugar.
OW_Silver [OP] 3 points 3y ago

How about you let them drink their liquid gold, shut the fuck up about what they do, and leave them the hell alone?

One of my partners gets insane drinks like Trenta black tea lemonade with 12 pumps classic or trenta lemonade with 10 classic 10 raspberry. Sometimes when she’s extra sleepy/hungover she gets trenta cold brew with add 6 shots and 10 pumps classic :’3

We aren’t even allowed to sell Trenta cold brews, only venti cold brews and grande nitros

I open so I start my day with a tall iced white mocha with half the pumps and double sometimes triple shots depending on how much sleep I got 😂 and then during the shift usually on lunch I get a venti SAR lemonade with no inclusions and light ice and at some point in the day I get a venti or Trenta water and refill it before I go home

Iced venti dirty chai with 4 blonde shots. Light Ice and soy.

My store is busy and hard tbh we do high numbers and I know policy and stuff but I get to make myself drinks all the time. Honestly it's made me such a better berestia.

I also fucks wiff a venti iced matcha latte two extra scoops of matcha and one vb powdered. If I make it myself I blend that bitch up. Good with soy and if I worked out that day I'll be a cheap bitch and add banana into it and do coconut milk. It slaps.

It rained yesterday and I did a nice Americano that really hit the spot.

Our staff is big on being creative behind the line and alawys make some crazy stuff. If people are nice and willing to pay we'll make them cool stuff.

Also the star bucks double shot on ice is lowkey the boss, fuck iced coffee. Just do yourself up one of those with whatever you like and enjoy.

i used to not be a really big coffee person until one of my old partners gave me a suggestion and after modifying it a little bit more my every time i work drink is a triple venti iced blonde americano with 3 pumps white mocha, 3 pumps toffee nut, with soy, light ice, extra caramel drizzle, and cinnamon dolce topping

Just probably about to the first line; it’s 4 shots so maybe halfway to the second line and then ice to the top

Licensed Starbucks does not allow free drinks. However, our the calibration on our espresso machine is constantly on the fritz. Thus, I am able to drink plenty of espresso on the job in an effort to keep the shots within acceptable quality. Shame these machines are all automatic. I miss the old days where you used espresso headers and ground the espresso from a remote appliance. Many more points of failure instead of the just one big Cadillac of an espresso machine.

Grande blonde to start the day, then I’ll drink some of whatever coffee I’m about to re brew so it’s not all going to waste, then I’ll usually leave with a nitro or cold brew in my hand.

For your free food, that pork shoulder breakfast sandwich is so damn tasty. I tried the black bean wrap yesterday and it was also pretty good when dipped in ranch.
TheNamesDC3 2 points 3y ago
I like to get lemonade with apple juice and depending on the size, half the normal pumps of raspberry in the shaker and shake.
rkmoses 1 points 3y ago
damn I’m almost always water during a ten and then some iced tea lemonade with like a pump of liquid cane for afterward
J0Iv3r3n 1 points 3y ago
If I’m opening (4am babyyyy) I start off with a venti strawberry açaí to the first shaker line, passion tango to the infusion line, and lemonade halfway up the ice section, 3 pumps of LCS, light ice.

If I have a lunch, I get either a tall blonde with two raw sugars and a splash of half and half, or a tall double iced cinnamon almond milk macchiato.

I normally drink three full refills of my Hydroflask while working a 5-8hr shift, and normally just get a drink for my boyfriend on my way out.
astivana 1 points 3y ago
Lately, Peach Green Tea Lemonade (unsweetened), Pink Drink, passion tango tea, or chai latte

At the end of a hard day, I’ll sometimes get myself a frap to take home - chai, strawberry, or s’mores, usually.

I’m also slowly working my way through bits of the menu so I know what things taste like if a customer asks, but only if I’m feeling adventurous/don’t already have my heart set on something I already know I like.
JHOOOOBI 1 points 3y ago
Mine is always changing because I’m always experimenting. But a good fall back for me is either cold brew, iced americanos, or a double shot on ice.
steamymilk 1 points 3y ago
sbux double shot on ice all day bb. Usually do white mocha and coconut milk. When I’m feeling fancy I’ll make a salted caramel mocha iced double shot style. Soy good
CoffeeFueledFiction 1 points 3y ago
I get different things different days, but generally get one of the following:

Venti blonde Starbucks Doubleshot on Ice with either six shots or eight ristretto shots and coconut milk. Usually I sub white mocha for the classic, but lately I’ve been doing pumpkin & white mocha.

Nitro vanilla sweet cream cold brew, occasionally with additional sweet cream foam as well. Or I’ll just do a regular sweet cream cold brew with extra vanilla if I want more liquid.

Venti steamed apple juice with 8 pumps chai and whip cream.

Pink drink, no strawberries, light ice, add matcha powder.

And, well, undertows. And nitro bombs. But that’s usually just on rough days.
peach_boba 1 points 3y ago
depends on how tired i am and what i have to do later. my go to is an iced latte w almond milk and one of the syrups (usually cinnamon dolce or french vanilla) or a mango or strawberry refresher. sometimes if someone orders something that i make look good i get it during a break. ive been big on spinach feta wraps as my meal lately
xsshazamm 1 points 3y ago
I go in and fill my orca with water then on my lunch/10 minute break I’ll make a triple blonde espresso with 5 white mocha and 5 sf vanilla and extra heavy cream. Tastes like melted ice cream 🤷🏼‍♂️
moonkive 1 points 3y ago
it depends. If I go in early morning, I usually haven’t had my breakfast, so I get a tall double blonde caramel latte during my first ten, for my lunch i get a venti SAR with a turkey pesto panini and avocado spread on the panini (I don’t eat the top piece of bread, it’s too much bread lol), and I usually don’t get anything on my last ten, but if I do, it’s probably a short snickerdoodle hot chocolate with no whip. occasionally I take home a grande or venti guava white tea lemonade if I think I need it
baengali 1 points 3y ago
you get two tens?
moonkive 2 points 3y ago
when I take 8 or 9 hour shifts yeah

0-5 hour shifts get one 10

6-7 shifts get one 10 and a lunch

8+ shifts get two 10s and a lunch inbetween (obviously it’s different if someone does a double)
hlysmkstsbnnywrm 1 points 3y ago
Usually when I open I start off with a cold brew with vanilla and sweet cream, but usually I’ll get either a guava white tea lemonade w/o LCS or a color drink during my shift, and sometimes I get a caramel apple spice with chai instead of cd and extra whip if I’ve had a really long day
UmFoxy 1 points 3y ago
I always get a Venti Iced flat white with white mocha or I get a Venti Peach green tea lemonade with no sugar
CosmeticComa 1 points 3y ago
Usually a grande cold brew with soy, 2 pumps toffee nut when I come in.

On my lunch I have a venti green iced tea, no LCS.

After work I usually get nothing lol
