I love this cute dance, but giving people the wrong base makes me sad.

Out everyday par is literally 20e lol

I don’t mind the free pour, but not shaking seriously makes the teas taste shitty and lukewarm with a puddle of syrup at the bottom.

Please shake the refreshers guys. The drink looks/tastes horrible when you do this. I get teas with no liquid cane/water, but refreshers? Ghetto as hell

Perfect compromise, IMHO and bcz its my preferred method (especially when it's busy), set them up in the cups with everything, then toss each into the shaker then the cup and back a couple/few times. If u can line them up next to the pitcher-rinser, group the ones that are the same and go to town. It also prevents things like Splenda from making that giant foam on top, and makes judging ice easy.

I only have a "thing" about shaking things with coconut milk, sweeteners like honey/agave/raw sugar, or lots of syrup/inclusions. People that don't shake those annoy the hell out of me bcz customers usually ask *me* to fix it.

Edit: BTW, their dancing is fuckin adorable

Edit^2: you can use this method *and* shake all the drinks, too, bcz the lines on all except the trenta cups correspond to the shaker lines (in practically); I just have a tendency to spill if im not stupid careful with the shaker lid, so I'm quicker with the cup-to-cup shake where I can judge by the temp of my cup-hand if it's properly mixed.

So I never shook my OWN iced tea/refresher mark out because I’m lazy. But I told a new trainer (after he told me that you don’t need to shake no water iced teas) that shaking it is not only so everything is mixed properly, but adds air to the mixture so the texture was different on the tongue. Kinda like how the steam wand adds air to the milk. He said he never heard that in training. Then I felt crazy because did I make that up, or was it an old school training thing before they even had books about what to do behind the bar. I couldn’t argue with the facts about training. But freshly shaken stuff even like bottled vitamin water has a better mouthfeel than without. I’m probably nuts.

I do this all time lol you eventually learn how much to pour,, or you say to your self”” hmm that looks about right”

But not everyone is a Karen

someone’s gotta do it

war crimes

it’s a rite of passage
