is it just me or are the shaker lids not sealing as well since we’ve started making so many shaken espresso drinks 😳 i wonder if the hot espresso is distorting the shape or something

A trick is to put the lid straight into the grande cup and it works as a shaker as well. Or if you use a venti cup you just have to use both hands to close the lid and it works just as well

Did this too but with a heavy whipping cream while I was going to shake it but forgot I took off the cap:)))
anissaf2000 [OP] 9 points 2y ago
Damn I hate when I do that :/ today one of my coworkers had a whip literally implode all over her because the top was broken. It’s tough out here

Why is there a table in the bathroom
InternationalBug3582 11 points 2y ago
Oh the many things you’ll find at Starbucks
anissaf2000 [OP] 8 points 2y ago
We started storing it in there because people would still try and sit in the closed cafe and hallways

One time during happy hour this lady ordered 4 venti pink drinks with matcha in them. I spilled the entirety of the first one allll over myself right as our area DMs walked in. That’s the only time I ever cried on the floor :’)

I raise you having that spilled that on your head cause someone hit into the barista making it ...
It burns the eyes
anissaf2000 [OP] 9 points 2y ago
Oof. Well at least you’re not allergic to coconut milk too like my dumbass :)
Dazzling_Cut_6862 7 points 2y ago
You okay OP? 😱
anissaf2000 [OP] 7 points 2y ago
Yeah lol luckily I bring my allergy meds to work
Aliciarox11189 2 points 2y ago
Just curious cause I never met anyone with this allergy, is it really bad or mostly like hives and your sinuses go insane?
anissaf2000 [OP] 1 points 2y ago
I’m actually allergic to all tree nuts, coconut just happens to be one of my worse ones. Mostly hives and tongue swelling, luckily never anaphylaxis yet.
Aliciarox11189 1 points 2y ago
I've had anaphylaxis and you dont want it I promise.

Hopefully the allergies get better - you dont a job that is harming your health
El_Gabe69-420 3 points 2y ago
You gotta love it when the damn shaker decides to open up.

The worse I've had was an Iced Matcha Latte. I'm unsure what was special about it but I remember the light ice! Shake shake - boom. Yay!! Matcha milk everywhere!!! During a rush!!

I was immensely pissed off :)

canithoe 3 points 2y ago
A whipped cream lid wasn't on all the way today and when I pulled it out of the fridge and tried to charge it, it went all over me, the behind the counter area, and the person taking orders:)
TJW351 3 points 2y ago

Slammed onto my back and hands BOH but the people you call about injuries are closed sat/sun.

Then a coffee spilled by hand off plane, which soaked the power strip the POS is connected to and fried it.

I put my two weeks notice in today
kxnkycxrly 1 points 2y ago

Picture it, midday rush, Wednesday. People coming in left and right, I'm by myself because Target refuses to hire and schedule correctly. I just finished making some frapps and had just put the blender pitcher on the draining platform when the HR girl comes in to get her usual bacon wrap. I start it and she comes around to get a water but can't figure out which lid she supposed to use. I walk forward near the sink area where the frapp roast container is, as a pass it, the pump loops into my apron somehow and I pull it down. My legs and the floor completely covered in frapp roast. I actually took pictures of it to share with my coworkers cuz I couldn't believe it happened. Had to go home on my lunch break to change pants. Smelled like smoked meats the rest of my shift. 😭😂😂😂😂😂
anissaf2000 [OP] 2 points 2y ago
Omg I did the same thing once with a FULL container of chai. I was sticky all day.
kizzythaboss 1 points 2y ago
I got lucky that she actually helped me clean it all up before more people came in. Still smelled like smoked meats tho...
AccordingBroccoli2 1 points 2y ago
My coworker had like 12 pumps of vanilla syrup explode all over her hair, clothes, EVERYTHING! I felt so bad.
