The other day my bf and I were cuddling.

“I didn’t know you had a freckle on your ear.”

“I don’t. It’s mocha.”

Or syrup in your eyeballs/glasses if you hold the cup at the wrong angle . . .
LatteMaster 2 points 2y ago

“Gosh it’s 10 degrees! How are you not wearing a sweater or a long sleeved shirt?!”

Because I like my clothes.

My pro tip on pouring ice into cups is to slight squeeze the top of the cup as you pour the ice from the scoop into the cup. I don’t know sciency physics but when I do this, it seems to lessen the splash of the ice.

Edit: clarification on the technique

oh this episode of “wow i have a new birth mark on my arm!”

I was JUST about to say this! I’m a rly pale white person with many body freckles/moles/beauty marks (I basically look like a flour tortilla) and I always get a minor scare after a day of frappuchinos that I’m getting even more on my arms LOL

My favorite is when you get that one person in cafe who orders a refresher after you’ve done a crap ton of fraps and just looks at you weird. Like yes I know my arms are spotted just move on 😪

I try tilting the cup away from me but it still somehow lands on my face...

i literally stick the whole pump inside the cup to pump syrups and it still gets on my glasses. it doesn’t make sense

A pox by any other name. I get the same from mocha, but it washes off easier.

I just *love* being stared at by customer at the window

This makes me wonder how I can still see with all the times I’ve sprayed myself in the eyes with chai
skylinegtrr32 2 points 2y ago
I've had chai tea before and have never had a problem but something they must add or do to the starbucks chai causes some allergic reaction for me LOL. Every time I see a chai ticket print out I groan. Shit makes me all itchy and red for like a good hour whenever it ends up on my arms...

Where you around for the raspberry syrup before it was made clear? Regularly looked down to think I smeared blood from a finger or something on my arm. Also don’t get me started on going to the bathroom and panicking when you see mocha smeared up your wrist and arm
throwaway3456678 2 points 2y ago
i don’t care where i’m positioned, i don’t even have to touch bar to somehow end up with a streak of mocha near my elbow.

there have been a few times i’ve spilled the purée on myself and thought i was bleeding, causing panic from the other baristas because i’m super messy

I always say I can be fast, efficient, or clean, pick two.

Mocha and froast up to my shoulder and a very wet stomach area from all the refreshers and melted ice
chuhai-drinker 1 points 2y ago
Gross. I hated that feeling so much, especially being on the shorter side where all the runoff from the bar is perfectly at belly-button level.
LegendaryKegendary 2 points 2y ago
I've spilled vanilla syrup all over myself two days in a row, this is nothing
Catpants21 2 points 2y ago
The other day I somehow got mocha on the back of my upper arm... ask me how. Guess I was just slingin frapps too fast.
SurferSkim 2 points 2y ago
So true
XxTRUEPINOYxX 1 points 2y ago
*starts a post where it’s says tell me you been on warming without saying anything. And ends up showing burnt oil arms 🥴
ashtonmil 1 points 2y ago
I like to refer to them as my frap freckles

My dad has vitilago, and one day when I came home from work he freaked out and thought I had it on my arms!

"No no dad it's just frap roast!"😂

Poor guy ;(
