Congrats! Next rite of passage to spill a full container of anything.

... today I spilt a full container of frap roast for the first time. I felt horrible about it and my shift just laughed the whole time while helping me clean it up

You're not the only one to have done that. I'm glad your shift was such a good sport about it though.

Welcome to the club! I spilled a full container of white tea all over the floor once. I also just spilled a venti sized drink in the shaker everywhere because my thumbs slipped off the shaker as I was shaking it. Stickiness everywhere. It was fun!

Yesterday I was making a kiwi refresher, couldn't find the lid for the shaker. The bartender in me just used the tall cup it was meant to go in...I didn't get a good seal, we weren't busy so the whole staff saw me get kiwi all over the cold bar, the back of the grinder, the floor and myself.

Noooo! I feel you with the missing lid though. I usually grab the training cup and use that. Works pretty well and it makes me feel like a bartender lol

One time I spilled a whole container of freshly made mocha... right after closing... 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Willowstorm9 2 points 2y ago

Nooo! That's the worst! Also best because at least you're closed. Could you imagine doing it during peak?

Followed by blending vanilla sweet cream cold foam on 1 😬

Willowstorm9 1 points 2y ago

I still do that on occasion lol!

i’ve spilled the entire big mocha container TWICE once during a rush because they put it on the bottom shelf and the hook nozzle got snagged on my boots 😭😭😭

A partner told me a story about how she knocked over the whole tea stand and all four teas soaked her. I laughed but felt bad for her at the same time 😭😂

I’m sorry but 😂😂😂

I legit dumped a whole thing of mocha directly into the short lid section on the cup station... thankfully my shift was nice and took the whole thing apart but it was.... a moment

I did it when i first started. In my defense I was washing dishes and at that point all the whips that I had ever washed were empty. This one was full and got over all our cups and lids boxes.

Had a tenured partner forget the white ring last night. It managed to cover from the end of bar all the way to the ovens. Registers took the hardest hit but it was a beautiful mess.🤣🤣🤣

This happened to me after I forgot a canister in my fridge for a whole month. The cream inside nearly solidified so it could not be extruded. I had to put pressure down on the lid to tightly pin the canister bottom to the inside of the sink while screwing the lid off slowly to relieve the pressure. Even then crispy whipped cream shot out from under the lid but it was nowhere near as bad as it could have been.
