Coffee of the day always killed me.
mechaweavis 40 points 3y ago
Back in the olden days, (I’m a 109****) we used to have a coffee of the day. We would pre-grind a 5 lb bullet of a different dark roast and medium roast at the beginning of the day, store them as half batches in 1/2 lb coffee bags and keep them under the brewers. No spoodles, no rotating every 15 minutes, we would just set a one hour timer on them and rebrew when they were out.
Oh how far we have come.
Oh how far we have come.

We have a really nice man that comes in every sunday and gets "a venti coffee of the day" and recently I started having it ready for him. I love seeing how happy he is that I remember his drink

“Venti Pike’s PEAK.” I win.
jacksondrose 21 points 3y ago
Colorado partner. Can confirm.
OriginalJokeGoesHere 13 points 3y ago
I asked someone who ordered a Pike's Peak if he was from Colorado the other day. I don't even think he knew it was a mountain lmao
mirnavela 5 points 3y ago

rosallia 2 points 3y ago

(Venti Black-Eye is hot coffee with 2)
burberrybradshaw 17 points 3y ago
Everyone here ( Seattle area) calls them shot in the dark. Weird :)
cbrookman 7 points 3y ago
Shot in the dark, depth charge, red eye, black eye. Not sure where the variation comes from, but here we are.
AndGood 5 points 3y ago
Where I am the difference between a red eye and black eye is the amount of shots. Red eye gets one, black eye gets two
Thirdatarian 1 points 3y ago
I was told red eye is one shot and black eye is two. I’ve also heard that green eye/purple eye are regional terms.
CallieTheCommie [OP] 1 points 3y ago
I had a guy ask for a purple eye once and my shift was just like "okay man we gotta talk about your color-coding system" and it turned out he meant 3 apparently
Herry_Up 2 points 3y ago
That sounds really cool
CallieTheCommie [OP] 8 points 3y ago
Yeah i know, chaotic goods need that E N E R G Y
ihateyousoymatcha 6 points 3y ago
Just mentioning it for others cause all the rest are straight coffee with no adds ;)
priyasingh25 1 points 3y ago
i go “ok a pikes place and how many shots do you want”
canigetaventiuh 13 points 3y ago
I get so many "large double double"
magical_unicorn24 12 points 3y ago
I feel like chaotic evil should’ve been “large black coffee with cream” lol
babbyalien 4 points 3y ago
And 7 splenda

sweetinasense 11 points 3y ago
Chaotic evil is for sure: venti pike <<pays>> oh! and 6 pumps of hazelnut with steamed soy milk.
Thirdatarian 3 points 3y ago
That’s lawful evil. Knowing what you want and how to order it but being super oblivious about it.
sweetinasense 1 points 3y ago
Ha I had originally put lawful evil and changed it

VENTI PIKE COFFEE WITH WHOLE MILK.
Have a woman who comes in every morning and shouts this into the Drive Thru speaker.
I once made the mistake of telling her “here’s your Venti Pike Place, I put a little whole milk in there for you.”
She would not have it.
“NO— I SAID I WANTED A VENTI PIKE COFFEE WITH WHOLE MILK.”
“Yes— this is it— this is your Pike Place—“
“NO I WANT A PIKE COFFEE.”
“— yes—“
“WITH WHOLE MILK.”
“Yes this is that—“
“IS THAT A PIKE COFFEE?”
“Yes Ma’am.”
“WITH WHOLE MILK?”
“Yes.”
She takes it and aggressively rips the lid off to see that there’s milk in it. Scowls and drives off.
I warn new partners not to call it Pike Place when dealing with her, it’s PIKE COFFEE WITH WHOLE MILK and that’s that.
People.

‘Venti Pike but as a pour over’
THIS KILLS ME BC MY STORE HAS A CLOVER MACHINE AND WE NEVER HAVE ALL THE PIECES TO DO A POUR OVER
- One day when it was very very busy and i was relatively new, we had someone order a pour over and insisted on it, wouldn’t accept the clover even though that’s all our store uses, i had never been trained to make one, everyone working had either made one once or never at all, let’s just say in took me 15min to make this damn pour over bc i literally had to climb ladders to find all of our pour over stuff. -i hated that man.

I had someone ask for a large black American coffee with "none of the sweet crazy stuff" and wouldnt clarify if she meant an Americano or Pike :/
Jensroar 3 points 3y ago
I get “one large medium coffee” a lot.
burberrybradshaw 3 points 3y ago
Large house coffee. I was so confused.
Herry_Up 18 points 3y ago
Like “Sir, whose house” lol
curlygreenbean 2 points 3y ago
Ok but can someone explain what this chart is and where it came from??
katiejaguar 3 points 3y ago
Its an alignment chart. People use it when they play role playing games, like Dungeons and Dragons. To really understand what each of the alignments means, google your favorite show, with the phrase “alignment chart”. It’ll give you a good idea of what each one means
BaristaBoiJacoby 2 points 3y ago
I've had a shocking ammount of people that just say "Regular" and if you ask any more questions, especially about size, roast type, or anything in it, they will get mad and say "JUST REGULAR". Somehow they always mean the thing you didn't get them. Like a "regular latte" when you got them a pike, or vise versa. Once it was a fricking croissant some guy wanted. I wish I was making this up
smaidit 2 points 3y ago
it’s so obnoxious and like I assume “regular” is medium
but they always means small?!?
