Someone once made a batch of cold brew with Turkish sized grounds.. the bag broke and we had a bucket full of sludge. Pretty funny
saint-ives 3 points 3y ago
During my first week I was pulling cold brew from the toddies into the cubes and walked away from it to work on something else because I was afraid of looking lazy...I walked away for too long and came back to find half of the cold brew overflowed onto the floor :')

At my old store we kept the cold brew toddy on a buggy like thing. Once after I made cold brew, I was pushing it back to its spot and pushed it too fast and hit the corner of a rack where the whole thing tipped over:)

Ever pour caramel into a bottle and forget to put the bottom on? Green bean me did
Midnight-greetings 7 points 3y ago
I did the exact same thing and I didnโ€™t realize it until it was already filled ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…
Zeldaluvr2007 4 points 3y ago
I went to fill our caramel bottles once and didnโ€™t realize the pouch was open on one end already. I cut open the other end and proceeded to pour the caramel into the bottles, while pouring caramel all down my apron, pants, and shoes at the same time ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ

Spilled a 2L pitcher of tea directly into the cleaned and filled ice bin...in the middle of peak.

if it makes any green beans feel any better, on my fourth day i spilled a container of cloud powder on the floor. i really thought i was about to get fired lmao

I'm so clumsy, it's even worse at work. Last night I spilled a whole pitcher of Green iced tea then an hour later I spilled all the White tea ๐Ÿฅบโ˜น๏ธ it was so wet, I had tears in my eyes.

TheYesExpress 4 points 3y ago
No longer a green bean yet I still do this.
buxlife 4 points 3y ago
My very first day on the job I dropped an entire pitcher of passion tea all over the floor - went in the back room and cried- that was four years ago!

When I was a great bean I didnโ€™t know over the mocha, however I did knock over the mop bucket trying to get it over the hump on the door to the back
kiervince 3 points 3y ago
Ran a cleaning cycle through the espresso machine without the tray in and got scalding hot chemical water everywhere, including burns on both of my hands
desssiayleen22 3 points 3y ago
I once accidentally put pike beans in the espresso machine. Worst thing I did as a green bean ๐Ÿ˜‚
JCaligirl420 3 points 3y ago
I did too!! And then the SM at the time yelled at me and said I owe her $55 for that bag of coffee that is now in the trash haha.
canunotalex 2 points 3y ago
If it makes you feel any better I once almost put cold brew in pot to brew (:
desssiayleen22 3 points 3y ago
You see you *almost* did. I just got too scared to tell anyone so for a solid two days everyone was drinking pike shots lmaoo

phc2bd 2 points 3y ago

PerfervidPiscene 1 points 3y ago
