Are these what everybody else uses to pull shots in? (i.redd.it)

My store always uses these. The little metal pitchers were only for latte macchiatos so they should not be used anymore

What about caramel macchiatos? They both have shots over the steamed milk?

I still use those for caramel macchiatos 👀👀 and affagatto (sp?) shots on frappuccinos. Super easy to pour shots into a dome lid with the tiny metal pitcher.

Yeah the little pitchers are the best imo I just use them for quads mostly

Wait, what? My store pulls shots right into the cup. I’m still somewhat green; what is the difference?

So glad my store still uses the metal pitcher. Pain in the ass to make drinks that require 5+ shots when those only hold 4 max

i know we have those in the back, but we use a cute little metal pitcher!

Yes my store said they aren’t in the standard any more so these are what we have to use for all the drinks. 😣

That’s dumb, the pitcher is so much more convenient. I don’t understand what the problem is, thanks corporate.

oh god i hope we don’t start using them. i’m home away from work for a week so i guess we’ll see.

my store uses those but we just ordered the no longer standard metal mini pitcher for people who order long shots or 4+ shots. My regulars are a little wild lol

Uhhh same, lol. I had the little glasses at my old store and it feels weird to say but I miss them!

My old store used the little metal pitchers but only for macchiatos and affogato shots. My new store, people use them a lot more. Even just for lattes and stuff. I don't get it lol I always pull my shots directly into the cup.

I use the metal pitchers because I kept knocking shotglasses off my bar and breaking them lol. I can't be trusted near glass

Yeah. But for some reason people at my store use the short cups. I’m like why
ilovebrandonj 5 points 3y ago
ew what, do they just reuse a short cup the whole time they’re on bar??
darkwolf523 2 points 3y ago
Basically. Idk why they do that. Same thing with pouring sweet cream into a cup. I just throw them away
baileehwilson 3 points 3y ago
as someone who does this, it’s because anything more than 2 shots doesnt really fit in the 2 glasses, so it’s easiest to just put them into one cup so you can just pour them all in at once :)
