Wait until you face the wrath of the grilled cheese lol…
hidethenight17 [OP] 36 points 1y ago
I like to pretend the grilled cheese doesn’t exist tbh

Have you squared up against the chocolate croissant, it’s a sneaky little demon!!!
sparkytheboomman 10 points 1y ago
Honestly sneaky is the word

The grilled cheese has claimed many of my friends >:(

A few months ago, I chose violence, and cooked two grilled cheese at once.

My god…I too like to laugh in the face of death every once in a while, but not to that level of bravery
Wise-barista1103 25 points 1y ago
Omg that’s the worst part about being on ovens
hidethenight17 [OP] 28 points 1y ago
Honestly it wasn’t even the oven! When I was moving the sandwich to the counter, I guess I moved to fast and the grease from the bacon on the paper just splattered all down my arm.

Got put on front immediately after that and not gonna lie it was a little hard to hold back tears as my arm was blistering and pour some lady their dark roast.

I love the Double Smoked Bacon but the grease from them and the Grilled Cheese is hell!

nigglectful 17 points 1y ago
honestly i’ve burned myself with chocolate croissants before- i was so close to crying
hidethenight17 [OP] 7 points 1y ago
I haven’t done that quite yet! I finally took this contraption off my arm cause I couldn’t move my wrist and I got stuff to do. But safe to say my arm is deffs scarred and looks a little crispy too. Only two pretty bad parts, rest are just splatters of burnt skin lmao
nigglectful 6 points 1y ago
i’m hoping for your speedy recovery!! I had to go to an urgent care and get some burn cream and i still have it and it works!! so if you’re able i recommend that!
NardDog1997 3 points 1y ago
Fuck. Chocolate croissant is horrific. It sticks :’)
Sea-Welcome589 17 points 1y ago
The impossible got me good few times. But nothing like this! Sending good vibes!
prmb_1998 16 points 1y ago
OMG I hope you ok. I hate when people order DSB, in the morning it’s ok, but at 8-9pm, I’m like “Why your ordering breakfast at this hour??” 😂🤣

Get well soon!

Wow that bacon grease did you something awful didnt it? It's happened to me a few times and I remember a couple times it left a blistery rash on my arm.
XxTRUEPINOYxX 7 points 1y ago
I have burned my hands and cut them so many times I feel no pain…
hidethenight17 [OP] 5 points 1y ago
I’m pretty good with it normally, but grease burns hit different I guess hahaha
Gameb0i6 6 points 1y ago
Honestly they need to change something about these sandwiches. I have 2 partners that are scarred from the cheese. Really bad scars too. I even have a scar from a chocolate croissant.
hidethenight17 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Yeah my arm is going to have permanent scarring also after this.
moonshroom02 5 points 1y ago
I splattered myself with egg white grease today, my heart is with you
t3llm3m0re 5 points 1y ago
Me last week with egg bites
uwumoment 4 points 1y ago
it was the bacon gouda grease that did me 💔 still have the scar lol. i suck at telling my ssv i am injured it’s embarassing
Feeling-Aerie1989 3 points 1y ago
It's the egg white egg bites for me, our food doesn't like to go down without a fight lmao. I hope you're able to take time time to recover
TheFriendlyFeminist 3 points 1y ago
It’s usually the impossible sandwich cheese that gets me
[deleted] 3 points 1y ago
What did you coworkers say when you got burned?
hidethenight17 [OP] 4 points 1y ago
Only one saw it, but only after it happened. No one really noticed honestly, they asked about it. I had to dig through our med bag and found some things to kinds cover it but no tape. Then I had to wear a glove, even though the burns are on my arm and not my hand

The chocolate crossiant got me good last week
First_Leather_1159 2 points 1y ago
That sausage egg & cheddar is deadly😩😩
ah09022 2 points 1y ago
bro one time I had to do 6 in a row for a customer and I swear all 6 of them splattered bacon grease across my chest. That hurt for so long and then I was terrified of making them after that
hidethenight17 [OP] 3 points 1y ago
My condolences man. It’s so hard when you have to move so quickly, from what I remembered I had my left arm holding the oven open, and my right taking out the sandwich with the tongs. And I carried the sandwich and paper over my left arm and I guess the paper folded and all of the grease just splattered down. You’d think I’d work anywhere but a coffee shop with this 🙃
ah09022 1 points 1y ago
I had so many more injuries working at Starbucks than any other job I have ever had
[deleted] 2 points 1y ago
ooof. did u report it?
hidethenight17 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Oh yeah. My shift at the time did
Metalturds 2 points 1y ago
Anyone remember the Italian sandwich?
morwen538 2 points 1y ago
I've full on got myself with the side of the oven before when I twitched grabbing a muffin x.x I'm officially terrified of warming muffins
OutlawJoseyMeow 2 points 1y ago
Sorry that happened and hope you’re doing better! Looks like that’s taped a bit tightly, though. Use sterile gauze and loosely wrap the burn area
insecure-nightmare 1 points 1y ago
girl i feel for you rest easy :) but also why is no one talking about the ABSURD grease splatter from the egg bites (especially the bacon gruyere like ugh)
Roseyy-Girl 1 points 1y ago
The egg bites break my willpower to do warming tbh

The Greased Cheese is the most dangerous.
