You’re sorely mistaken if you think I’m going to blend 4 tall caramel frappucinos separately
qathran 11 points 2y ago
I had a super cool customer try to tell me I wasn't allowed to blend the 2 grande caramel frappucinos he ordered in the same blender...
pops_secret 9 points 2y ago
I’m so confused, why on earth would it matter?
bestofescher 3 points 2y ago
I was told by my shift supervisor that the contents will be inconsistent because some ingredients will settle towards the bottom of the blender. One frap will have maybe more syrup and the other have maybe more ice. But we still did it anyway.

As a newer customer who doesn’t know what they’re doing and sounds like an idiot saying grANdE I am so sorry. Lol
sara_c907 1 points 2y ago
That's not fair. Only some of us are idiots.

“You see what I’m doing? Don’t do it!”
JSlays0710 15 points 2y ago
Mine is, “If you see me on bar, you didn’t, because if you did then you’re liable”
yikes153 58 points 2y ago
We have so many new hires it’s impossible to slow down and actually teach them standards, it’s just too busy all the time. Any time they train on bar theres a rush so they end up learning the shortcuts. It backfires when our manager eventually sees how they work on bar.
MoreCoffeeWillHelp 52 points 2y ago
As a barista trainer I’m just like “okay its crazy busy so here are some hacks” (batching fraps, batching refreshers& iced teas, steaming the milk for 3 kids hot chocolates in one pitcher) “but if you tell anyone where you learned this, you a snitch”
sizzlesfantalike 38 points 2y ago
My SM: “imma double batch this but I never said you could do it, you’ve never seen me do it, this never happened”
spicygayunicorn 9 points 2y ago
why are you not supposed to do it in the same pitcher or in batches i work in espresso house we get shit when not doing it in the same when posible
mrsnataliehooper 7 points 2y ago
Ok i wanna know how to batch refreshers! Obv. not when my manager is there. Got in trouble for batching 2 grande caramel frappuccinos in the same order because "the blenders aren't designed for that" when the blender did just fine. So now i just do it when he's not around. But i had 5 VBH refreshers and lemonades today and i wanna know how to batch those!
MoreCoffeeWillHelp 15 points 2y ago
Make a trenta, no ice, put a scoop of ice directly into each venti cup, pour. Venti no ice will make 2 grandes, etc. I do this with refreshers and iced teas
mrsnataliehooper 8 points 2y ago
You're a genius. May God bless you and your shifts.
DramaMamma25 17 points 2y ago
I’ve been working for a month and a half and got yelled at for making extra pumpkin cream cold foam for 3 drinks at once but I was copying my coworker 😳 I’m not a snitch tho
caffein8dnotopi8d 6 points 2y ago
Wow that’s a mood :/
RICKYOURPOISIN 55 points 2y ago
What I learned in my years here is blend two Ventis and a grande together you get enough left over for three Ventis and no need to hold down the lid
zydr8te 31 points 2y ago
And if it's a MCC or CRC you can make like 5 ventis
c_reckless35 15 points 2y ago
Instead of holding the lid down, you can put a grande/venti dome lid on top of the lid and it will hold it in place
Out_Foxxed 5 points 2y ago
I just use a shaker lid lmao
yesimabarista 5 points 2y ago
actually on some of the blenders a tall dome lid is the perfect size!
BaroquesCafe 35 points 2y ago
I never understood what the problem was with this. Customers honestly prefer batching, especially if they’re a family

They get mad about that? I’d honestly prefer that as a customer. What difference does it make

iheartcookin 2 points 2y ago
I don’t work there so I’m not sure if commenting is allowed but I never even see how they make my drinks And I honestly don’t care what they do as long as no one is sneaking dairy into my beverage.
trLOOF 2 points 2y ago
About half of my customers would watch how I made their drinks. It doesn’t matter until they start telling me how to do things that are unreasonable. I had a lady who would get mad for not hand washing the steaming pitchers in front of her once during a rush and that was annoying af
aarushsaini 13 points 2y ago
what is batch blending?
ivijacinto 34 points 2y ago
i think it’s blending multiple of the same drink to save time. so basically 3 times the ingredients at once instead of the same ingredients 3 separate times.
westhawk777 11 points 2y ago
Blending more than one frappuccino at a time
hummusheads 12 points 2y ago
We had some new greenbeans that have been on the floor now and when I'm on bar I can see them staring at me like what--the f---- is she doing. I'm pretty sure I've just told some of them not look. You don't see this right now hahahaha.
Alefur 10 points 2y ago
"I'll teach you the standard first. Always follow the standard. Oh by the way heres some shortcuts these technically don't exist so don't mention them.👌"
kellybeereed 6 points 2y ago
There was one frapp hour where my SM watched me the whole time to make sure I didn’t batch blend. I wanted to die
Month_Puzzleheaded 6 points 2y ago
Batch blending is the bomb lol
dayahorne 4 points 2y ago
This is like when customers order a MF then a JCF or JCF and a MCCF or MF then a PMF. ITS LIKE FUCKING BATCH HEAVEN!!!
RockStarNinja7 2 points 2y ago
As a customer, if were ordering multiples could I request my drinks be made as a batch to help you guys out? That way you could just say you were following the customers order
wheres_mayramaines 1 points 2y ago
I would also like to know the answer to this question
dayahorne 2 points 2y ago
We have a new greenbean at work and I literally told her "dont do this" cuz a lady ordered two CRCF, im not doing that twice she'll learn one day
Kyenne_Pepper123 2 points 2y ago
This is me on a daily 😂😂
SimplyKendra 1 points 1y ago
I do that with milkshakes. Oh you want a strawberry and a vanilla? It’s all going in the blender. Pour vanilla shake then add strawberries, blend a few seconds and pour. Anything to save time.
Affectionate_Cut9338 1 points 1y ago
I’ve very new and yesterday I did this no one showed me I just figured it was the easiest way lol oops glad no one yelled at me.
Coffeeaftersex [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Enjoying my posts? Lol and that's the true spirit of a barista🙌🏻
gousey 1 points 2y ago
Oh no! Not that one Christmas song CD playing endlessly again.
YellowSphinx 1 points 2y ago
I once had a customer yell at me not to batch because then the drinks wouldn’t taste right. I asked her if she had ever cooked before.
[deleted] 1 points 2y ago
😂😂 I’m a green bean and thought this was sooo funny
