I just want to have a talk with whoever designed them 😤

Yes, it’s nerve wracking and adds to our plastic waste

Corporate be like: waste? What waste we don’t waste
nicathor 71 points 1y ago
I rage about them at least every 5 minutes; the damn cup gets crushed more often than the lid goes on 🤬
hailvy 26 points 1y ago
Grab another cup and double cup it so it won’t get crushed! But even then, sometimes the lid just won’t go on and I still throw it away in a rage
designated-grapes 49 points 1y ago
I tried to dome lid a whipped iced white mocha and the cup gave in from under me a month or so ago.

It's been traumatic doing whipped iced drinks since. lol
clumsycalico 12 points 1y ago
Oh yeah, that’s happened to me so many times in the past few months. On Grandes in particular like other people have said.
FragrantWin9 20 points 1y ago
Yes! Has anyone recently gotten a box of pastry bags that are halfway glued together? SO ANNOYING
mewvb 5 points 1y ago
I had a meltdown on warming last week because of this. 🙃
FfierceLaw 4 points 1y ago
Yes! Glued shut but also bags glued to each other! This week

Man I hate those mfs, esp w stuff that has drizzle,,, I just fill it a little under the top and don't have whip going to the outside so there's a gap all the drizzles and crap can fall into lol
luv_u_bb 11 points 1y ago
I constantly have to ask my coworkers to help me put the dome lids on and we all struggle for several minutes before we finally get it!! It's so annoying omg
girl_in_blue180 9 points 1y ago
Yes! Some of our Dome and Trenta lids were defective over the weekend ughhhh
goldqueen287 4 points 1y ago
Omg I’m not the only one struggling w Trent a. I noticed these small ridges around the lid snd they won’t go DOWN. I almost gave a customer a half open pink drink
ChemicalBarnacle 5 points 1y ago
I feel that, I think the quality has gotten worse on the lids. EVERY other lid in my store falls off or spills on a customer
strangeyeena 5 points 1y ago
Fought every grande dome lid yesterday and I had a trenta lid split on me. 😆😤
marilynmansonsbitch 4 points 1y ago
8 hours of bar was draining enough, but now i gotta play lid wrangler???? this is above my pay grade
Smallest_Bean 3 points 1y ago
If you're having trouble getting the lid on try double cupping, let's you put more pressure on it while also helping you not break the cup! :D
depressoroast 1 points 1y ago
This!!!!
peachfaeries 3 points 1y ago
dude the dome lids fucking suck i hate them😭
cactuscamel20 3 points 1y ago
The dome lids on the venti cups are so frustrating
SubstantialTree7 2 points 1y ago
YES!! I haven't been able to put one on without a struggle for ages
Jew_3 2 points 1y ago
Does anyone else talk to the dome lids? I’m on cold bar like ‘we are NOT doing this today dome lids’ and ‘oh we ARE doing this? Then you’re going in the trash!’
Taytay327 2 points 1y ago
What I’ve noticed that’s worked best is stretching it out, by pulling on it opposite sides.
FfierceLaw 1 points 1y ago
I'll try that
FairProfessional0 2 points 1y ago
I feel like dome lids are the sole determinant of drive times during a rush at this point 😭
Inside_Drink_3968 2 points 1y ago
it’s the mf tall ones.
xxsophiamiller 1 points 1y ago
These LIDS I wanna throw them all in the garbage
darkwolf523 1 points 1y ago
Yes
briannuzzi 1 points 1y ago
YES especially mezzo/tall dome lids!!
bearrrgirl 1 points 1y ago
Girlll fuck these lids. I am done!! 😂😂💀🙄
PaeCantSpin 1 points 1y ago
I hate them
HebatheBarista 1 points 1y ago
It’s not the lids YALL it’s the cups. When I change the cup the lid fits just fine.
FarTie8802 1 points 1y ago
THE CUPS FOLD UNDER PRESSURE I SWEAR
babeasaurus 1 points 1y ago
I know my local one is. I was handed a latte w/a dome lid, I got a foam top, and as the barrista handed it to me, it came off and fell all over me and my car! I unfortunately had no time to go back home and change, so I worked all day covered in coffee! 🤣 He felt so bad, but hey, accidents happen!
TJW351 1 points 1y ago
Put another cup under it just to close the lid. I call it my “emotional support cup.”
moonwindcactus 1 points 1y ago
i struggle with all lids 😂
chinfox 1 points 1y ago
trenta lids are about to send me over the edge
Magnhild94 1 points 1y ago
By “recent” do you mean “ongoing” struggle? 😅😭😅
ItzBoogieMan 1 points 1y ago
I don’t have much of a problem with the lids, if you put down the side furthest away from you first I find it easier. However, the new cups we use for iced waters sucks balls, none of the stupid lids go on without looking like a moron fitting the stupid lid on. Whoever thinks up of drinks and new ideas at Corp really sucks and needs to quit.
lanceofruin 1 points 1y ago
i can never get them on 😭
