Only bright side is they are all caramel so you can at least batch blend those fuckers.
Skitsskatss [OP] 67 points 3y ago
We get in trouble if we’re caught double batching 🥺😭
handlelamp 42 points 3y ago
? Why? The measurements are the same
Skitsskatss [OP] 54 points 3y ago
I have no idea. Everyone is really strict about it at my store and will make you start over if they catch you
handlelamp 66 points 3y ago
Damn that sucks. My store encourages it because of how much faster we go
ericanicole1234 11 points 3y ago
Which is so damn stupid because that’s just a ton of waste but my store did too
Skitsskatss [OP] 37 points 3y ago
My coworker has had a blender ripped from her hand and dumped out
ilovebrandonj 32 points 3y ago
I caught my SM batch blending when he was on cold bar for a Saturday morning peak once lol. He only did 2 grandes though. 4 Ventis fit in one blender if you hold the lid down really tight! That sucks they’re so strict on it.
anothersmallghost 4 points 3y ago
Wow. That’s pretty dramatic.

I’ve been told it makes them a bit more soupy, but I can’t tell the difference.
shawnp6298 23 points 3y ago
As long they are each made to standard they will be exactly the same, batch blended or not. My SM would be pissed if they WEREN’T batch blended.
Andomingman 7 points 3y ago
Honestly I'm having a hard time thinking of some more amateur shit than not batching like items
criesincoffee 2 points 3y ago
I'm pretty sure these asinine rules like "no batch blending" and "sHoTs DiE iN 10 sEcOnDs" are only there as a cult like indoctrication into the Starbucks way of thinking
aka_Marie 1 points 3y ago
that’s crazy! we’re encouraged to batch blend
beccaboo2u 1 points 3y ago
we do too
FanboiRyu 1 points 3y ago
Really? I asked about batching at my training and the SSV said they're *discouraged* but admitted that we can do it if it gets hella busy, or if we have many Fraps to make
ladyelenawf 0 points 3y ago
So Triple batch them? Modern problems and all that. 😂

It’s four thirty in the morning! Why are the drinking Frappuccinos?!
SteampoweredClock 39 points 3y ago
itS pArt of mY mORninG roUtInE!
ericanicole1234 11 points 3y ago
That’s the time since the order was pushed thru I think
bootrick 2 points 3y ago
Sunday morning, the dude is picking them up for his teenage girl's Sunday school class
jenkoct12 26 points 3y ago
I never thought a picture could hurt you physically.
lizeken 24 points 3y ago
Batch those bitches
Skitsskatss [OP] 16 points 3y ago
We’re not allowed to 🥺😭
YungUglyUziGod 9 points 3y ago
In my store I’ve been told it’s okay to double batch. You and your SM should have a talk lol.
teet_teet -46 points 3y ago
It’s never ok to batch. That’s not up to your store manager.
YungUglyUziGod 45 points 3y ago
You’re right, it’s up to me, the person making the drinks. And I’m not gonna waste 5 minutes making 10 drinks that I could finish in less than half that time. I follow standard rules, except that one. Tell the Siren fire me 🤷🏼‍♂️

Mayachees 12 points 3y ago
I will tell my people to batch blend.
We have one blender. We often have 8 fraps.
That are caramel ribbon or vanilla bean.
We don’t have time to sit make 4 y’all vanilla beans individually.
eat-reddit-tv -1 points 3y ago
Right!
Does no one else understand that the blenders are programmed with a certain capacity in mind?

It’s like stirring a pot of chili; it takes more time/effort if there’s more in the pot.
GoldTurds- 18 points 3y ago
Quantity 9 - update. No need to ring it in 9 times haha
Skitsskatss [OP] 15 points 3y ago
I was using the copy drink button x)
rachmANGSTinoff 15 points 3y ago
Could also be using the copy drink button…
kobo15 12 points 3y ago
RIP your cold bar
lunaflect 9 points 3y ago
Illegal. This should be illegal.
katierub 6 points 3y ago
Ugh, we have someone who comes in once a week and orders a mix of 7 drinks that are either salted cream cold brews, Carmel crunch frap, or caramel cloud macchiatos and freeze them and then and then drink them through the week one by one. It started because our store had to close and switch hours because someone had a fever scare when we had block schedule, but it’s still happening and I can’t imagine how nasty those drinks are six days old and frozen.
analiseh18 7 points 3y ago
that actually sounds horrid
JCaligirl420 6 points 3y ago
We have some the days she freezes the drinks she buys but it doesn’t make sense, she gets 10-12 extra hot, soy, no water, no foam chais, one iced, and now she’s added a mango dragon fruit to the mix. Why get them extra hot and then freeze them?!?!?
lunaflect 4 points 3y ago
Gives it that scorched milk flavor.
my_name_is_in_use123 5 points 3y ago
I’d be like so sorry our frap machine is down 😂
idk_ijustgohard 4 points 3y ago
Yum, Pike Place. I may be basic but I basically love it black.
goddamnlizardkingg 3 points 3y ago
this just made me throw up in my mouth
goldengabbie 3 points 3y ago
how much did this cost omg
Skitsskatss [OP] 4 points 3y ago
61 whole ass dollars 😭😭😭😭
goldengabbie 2 points 3y ago
bruhhhhh😭😭😭😭😭
BaristaBabeSC 3 points 3y ago
Oh baby :(
bellyach3 2 points 3y ago
I think I would die. We only have one blender currently.
PurpleTIEFighter 2 points 3y ago
...Did they tip?
Skitsskatss [OP] 2 points 3y ago
No :(
JCaligirl420 2 points 3y ago
Why do they need that many Frappuccinos and drinks period ended? So rude
Skitsskatss [OP] 9 points 3y ago
Whenever someone buys that many drinks in like someone isn’t social distancing 😤😤😤
JCaligirl420 2 points 3y ago
Same! Like that’s over 10 people gathered. I saw people that don’t live in my house and I don’t work with for the first time since March yesterday, it was quite weird.
mazexpert 1 points 2y ago
Pro tip, rather than hit “copy drink” a zillion times and then second guess wether you put in the correct amount, just use the “quantity” button
piecetreaty 1 points 3y ago
there should seriously be a limit on drive thru orders
L0130 1 points 3y ago
Why can’t they just say they just want a bag of caramel instead of ordering a Bunch of Frappuccino‘s
