My store's been out of caramel sauce for weeks (both reg and dark) and all we have is syrup. We haven't had brown sugar OR oatmilk in a week or two, and every day at least 10 people ask for Brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso. It's hell. Not to mention our clientele is very entitled as we are in a bougie area, and they pitch a fit and raise their voices at us.

Really, wtf is going on with the inventory? Why is everybody out of everything all of a sudden?
dictatorenergy 48 points 2y ago
I wanna say it has something to do with the Suez Canal being blocked off for like a week.
Professor_Profane 26 points 2y ago
Oh wow that hadn’t even occurred to me. That would actually make a lot of sense
E-hugs519 33 points 2y ago
Whenever people pitch a fit to me I tell them to blame that one guy who couldnt steer a boat in a straight line through the Suez canal and they shut up because it's a classic non sequitur move.

There was a memo about the dark caramel. My store was out of so much last week -- I feel you
insecure-nightmare 30 points 2y ago
**me** : "omg that's such low stock"

**also me** : "at least you guys have oatmilk and brown sugar-"

The day before the truck comes.
KarluhO 26 points 2y ago
This is us every week AFTER the RP order comes in. They literally zero out half our order every week, such bs

You ~~have~~ had blueberries?
Keyndoriel 12 points 2y ago
Somehow my store dosnt have peach but we have oat and brown sugar out the ass and I am fending off the other stores who are trying to haggle with us for it lol. I am normally generous but with these outages I am clinging to whatever preemo product I can
Original-Ad9773 8 points 2y ago
I’m sorry unrelated but I read that as “pre-emo”
Gaming_Demigoddess 3 points 2y ago
Same haha
cuppamaeve 11 points 2y ago
we’re out of caramel drizzle too ! :( and a lot of food items and were about to be out of the non dairy milks too:( it’s been literal hell especially the amount of cold bar drinks I’ve been making for weeks now since it’s starting to get hot in my area 😭
samsauce96 8 points 2y ago
We've been getting away with using dark caramel as drizzle 😂 doesn't work entirely but it passes for our 1,000,000 customers that get caramel macchiatos 😂
keithct6 4 points 2y ago
it’s all fun and games until you put dark in the drizzle bottles and they squirt out at 100 miles an hour 😭
converter-bot 1 points 2y ago
100 miles is 160.93 km

The worst part is we as workers get dragged for it like we keep it from them
sp_c_g_d 8 points 2y ago
Fuck it at this point, right?
Frequent_Flamingo_42 7 points 2y ago
We have 14 boxes of blackberries and we aren't telling any other stores 😂 everyone's been out for a month and a half
Remarkable_Comment18 7 points 2y ago
Honestly I think the stock is low due to the fact there’s a lot of staffing issues at fulfillment centers and other COVID issues.
madiilewis 6 points 2y ago
Dang y’all still got brown sugar?!
Month_Puzzleheaded 5 points 2y ago
We are out of lemonade, oat milk, warming paper (using cookie paper) coconut milk, cinnamon dolce, classic, raw sugar, blackberries, grande/venti lids, stoppers, honey blend, pumpkin bread, lemon loaf, cookies, butter croissants, chocolate croissants. When I left yesterday we were low on vanilla, peppermint, napkins and sugar. Not sure if we are out or will be soon lol
hobo_treasures 5 points 2y ago
Anybody else been out of cake pops?
TylerJ716 3 points 2y ago
I found it funny on Friday this guy bought 9 cake pops and we haven't had anymore since. Our one chocolate and last of the cookie dough
BaristaBeech 4 points 2y ago
Out of toffee nut, brown sugar syrup, raspberry syrup, and peach. Not as bad as it could be but I’m gonna lose it if another person yells at me about “YOU’VE BEEN OUT OF X, Y, and Z FOR SO LONG YOU’RE LYING!”
