Oh, that's not a croissant. That's my soul. Sorry, I forgot it in your oven. It was cold and soulless so I tried warming it in the oven. Obviously didn't work.

Hate it when this happens, i always try to warm it up on my 10 but i get distracted 🤷‍♀️
CoffeeIslander 7 points 2y ago
It's okay. I don't know what I was thinking of trying to warm it up when I already know I prefer my soul cold.
mrsnataliehooper 10 points 2y ago
Trying to warm it up for the holidays eh? Me too man. But it gets cold as fuck when people pay upwards of $20 for their order and dont tip 🙃

One time one of my partners put a sandwich in the oven right before going on his break. He didn’t actually start the oven though and he forgot about it

It was his sandwich

draahstopter 8 points 2y ago
He came back and was so embarrassed lol we’ve all had those days man. I couldn’t even make fun of him 😂

Was the customer still waiting for it? And if so, did you just casually slip it into a pastry bag and hand off as if nothing were wrong?
blueravefox [OP] 30 points 2y ago
lmao no i guess someone just forgot it and got another but the oven was smoking and i thought it was because of the oils but i guess that was the reason

When I was a barista one of my coworkers managed to start a cheese danish on fire in the oven. We used to joke that we had to save the cheese danishes for her

iamstokes 2 points 2y ago
Yo I once was taking a double smoked out of the oven and the grease dripped off the paper and onto my fucking arm.

One time when I was opening I forgot I left a grilled cheese in the oven... I've been very careful ever since. I always wait 5 seconds before it finishes by the door..

Rough day mate ?
dictatorenergy 2 points 2y ago
I did that to a display sandwich once. It was like a brick when I finally opened the oven.

vegan-trash 2 points 2y ago
Long story but when we had those nasty gummy bears i put one in a condiment bar shaker and then in the oven as a prisoner and then clocked out and went home. This was after the overnights came in. I called once I remembered and had no explanation but when the shift opened the oven she screamed “OH MY GOD” and the shaker had melted in there.

Someone in my building (obviously student housing) basically did this but at two in the motherfucking morning and we alllllllllll got evacuated when the smoke alarms went off, three firetrucks came, Flat 18 got publicly called out by the Fire Captain, everyone booed as they shuffled to the door to explain themselves. It was 45° and drizzly, we were not thriving.

Happened again two weeks later, except at 3am, different flat, and this time the smoke detectors had like a seizure and so they went off every five minutes for about 45 seconds straight for over an hour. If it was a psychological experiment, I did not give informed consent. Unethical.

LMAO I've seen that before. Tragic isn't it?

RYAN STARTED THE FIRE!
JMarBrwn 2 points 2y ago
Must have been a slow part of the day for warming lol

This happened a few times at my store, but it never got to this point since we were using the ovens so much in the morning. I find crispy brown warming paper in the oven all the time though

That looks like something you'd barricade inside a museum ngl
MonstrousGiggling 2 points 2y ago
But how did it taste?
blueravefox [OP] 14 points 2y ago
you know i’m brave enough to work holidays but not eat that thing
MonstrousGiggling 3 points 2y ago
Lmao!!

I'm curious, was it like literally just crisp air dough at that point and crumble on touch? Or that weird thing that happens sometimes where its burnt but like...moist still somehow? It looks like it would disintegrate if a butterfly landed on it.
blueravefox [OP] 6 points 2y ago
it was hard as a rock but didn’t crumble
MonstrousGiggling 3 points 2y ago
Ugggh....

Just uggghhh. Somehow that's even worse.
