When a customer asks for extra caramel drizzle (v.redd.it)

We just had this happen with one of our new drizzle containers... interesting to see that they’re breaking elsewhere. I really like them with the little stand but not so much if they’re gonna do that

We found out it was because we were running it in the Hobart instead of hand washing. The main part shrinks in the heat.

I’m trying so hard not to scream out laughing in public right now god help me
samanthamsabo 3 points 3y ago
Haha same for me! People may think I’m crazy

God I hate these bottles so much. They leak everywhere and sometimes dont even squeeze out unless I hold down the button on top. Even when everything is screwed on right. These bottles suck.

SAME. we have our backup caramel bottles sitting at an incline on a shelf above a sink near DTO/DTR, and they ALWAYS leak onto the sink. It is SO obnoxious to constantly have to clean that spot!
BlooperBoo 4 points 3y ago
We keep ours in a bin and the other day there was like half an inch of carmel in the bottom! My rage grows each day.
sarextrashaken 3 points 3y ago
I love them so much better than the old ones. Caramel leaked everywhere through the green openings, the bottle caps flew off and so did the bottom part. I wonder why some (of the new ones) are so bad and others are so good
BlooperBoo 4 points 3y ago
Thats so weird, we never had any issues with the old ones! Maybe some of them are just faulty. Huh
sjrave 2 points 3y ago
there's a button on top?? ._.
BlooperBoo 4 points 3y ago
The little plug thing. Sometimes the air comes out of it instead of the bottom when I squeeze
sjrave 4 points 3y ago
I have to try that bc it takes forever w the new bottles for eXTrA CaRaMEl dRiZzLe
iBombshell 1 points 3y ago
If you give the lid and the plug a quick soak in hot water it fixes that issue but that honestly shouldn't have to be a thing. Worst design ever imo 🤦‍♀️

What the fuck😂 truly how

There is also a small part of you that’s satisfied when their indulgence literally causes equipment to fail. 👌

This happened one day when I was making a cloud macchiato for someone, it was the most beautiful one I had ever seen, it was right around the time we got the new caramel bottles. Rip.
ShadowGrebacier 7 points 3y ago
Yeah, i've had this happen to myself and another barista. You really gotta be careful with how hard you squeeze the bottle.
zsmith0919 5 points 3y ago
So scared for this to happen to me 😩😩😩 I’d be so mad
Cyberspace224 [OP] 7 points 3y ago
It is what it is. I’m just glad I caught it on video for a good laugh
ianbz 4 points 3y ago
I am SO relieved this hasn’t only happened to me. It’s hilarious but in the moment it’s a nightmare

YOOO the patience is REAL!!! I chucked a strawberry açaí refresher into the sink REAL hard today because the cup tipped over when I was pouring it and I wasn’t having it. Bitch if this happened during peak i dont know what I would do.
cali_diamonds 2 points 3y ago

That caramel sauce is a BITCH to clean up too!
hipbs23 1 points 3y ago
The other day we had that happen to four different people on bar... it never ends! And without fail they get covered in it!
mattchaa 1 points 3y ago
This happened exactly like this to me today and I swear for a minute I thought this video was of me. Haha.
