At least we have Casi Cielo ... right??
[deleted] 8 points 1y ago
We do have that lol
Nicckles 7 points 1y ago
At least Casi Cielo is a medium roast too and leaps and bounds better than Pike
clumsycalico 7 points 1y ago
We ordered mango base and it didn’t come but that’s not nearly as bad!! I think we only got like 2 cases of pumpkin though and we ran out the last few days and only barely made it by from calling around
[deleted] 6 points 1y ago
I honestly believe it. Also doesn’t help its Labor Day weekend so all stores are slammed too.

At my store we ran out of pumpkin spice, vanilla and white mocha ;-;

edit: just ran out of cold brew and about to run out of coffee syrup and the creme syrup for the Frappuccino’s!

Don’t understand how we’re open or haven’t received a truck yet……. :(
Animuthrowawayplz 24 points 1y ago
Jeeze. Why even be open at that point. We ran out of pumpkin spice about an hour or two ago and there's a few already upset about that.
Maximum2945 16 points 1y ago
have your ssv call around to see if you can grab some from another store maybe?
XMyshelX [OP] 33 points 1y ago
Lolz that was after we ran out the second time after stealing some and target ain't sharing .... This is the kind of stuff that made me step down from a shift. I used to pick up product on my time, and not get paid for millage plus working over time ain't worth it y'all
rudebii 14 points 1y ago
Or the calls before your shift asking you drive to some store to pick up supplies…yeah don’t miss that personally.
OneRoseDark 1 points 1y ago
you are supposed to be paid for mileage.
XMyshelX [OP] 4 points 1y ago
Yes exactly... My manager refuses to do it... I transferred and stepped down I'm.a 10 year partner I miss the good old days
enlighTAYment 13 points 1y ago
We didn’t get any cups on our last order
Due_Ad_6793 12 points 1y ago
My store has gotten other stores orders, in addition to our own, for the last two trucks. Too bad most of it is useless to us. We have so much stuff that can't go anywhere because those products literally aren't moving.
justaweenie 4 points 1y ago
this happened to us this week! we got our order AND an order for a store in a different state. our lobby was filled until they came to pick it back up lol
BuffyBoltonVampFlayr 4 points 1y ago

justaweenie 2 points 1y ago

Due_Ad_6793 2 points 1y ago

We're out of Pumpkin too! So many people have said to us "It's fall what do you mean you don't have pumpkin?!" I can't wait to deal with this all weekend 🙃
XMyshelX [OP] 4 points 1y ago
Prepare for the awwwwahhs and the ugggghhhh!! Had to remove my headset a few times
LeiyoZynne 2 points 1y ago
We had a guy just tonight come in on a bicycle through drive of all things and gave my green bean HELL for telling him we didn't have any. Maybe I jinxed it 😅
Grouchy_Arugula7257 3 points 1y ago
We opened our store on Friday. Our food delivery didn't arrive... We only had crisps to sell.
We also didn't have any whipped cream, apart from one gallon of double cream to make our own (lasted about 3 hours before we ran out). No milk jugs for the bagged milks on the bar, had to buy them from the supermarket to make do. Oh, and I had to pick up 15 squirty creams from Asda to last us until close.
On top of that some of our equipment didn't arrive with the huge order we had to put away while the workmen were still finishing the store, but hey, we've got polos and fleeces. All in wrong sizes and not enough for everyone but who cares, right?

Ouch.
maddiethelee16 2 points 1y ago
we are currently out of both pumpkin and apple crisp, it's a wonderful time to be alive
SnowMune 2 points 1y ago
Yesterday we ran out of heavy cream.. only a few whips, no sweet cream/cold foam. 🙃
FfierceLaw 2 points 1y ago
Same. Two days so far without PS and going into the holiday weekend
cringeqween13 2 points 1y ago
We ran out of frap base the other day and couldn't borrow from another store because they were all on their last few. Had to do a mill run that day too. Had no breakfast sandwiches or paninis. Gotta love the after math of hurricanes and corporates shit planning
olivinemultichrome 2 points 1y ago
We are out of MDR and the inclusions, almost out of kiwi and white mocha and dark caramel and almond milk, and have one sugar free vanilla and one bag of mocha left. I work the next five days.
XMyshelX [OP] 3 points 1y ago
Oh yeah no this is in addition to every thing else... That we have grown accustomed to lately of course we have no refreshers.... I just tell people were out of about 40 items nationally.... It's just the promotion of it and the rabbid fan base of pumpkin is a hit different than say hazelnut and cinnamon dolce people
olivinemultichrome 4 points 1y ago
See I feel like when we ran out of pumpkin a few days ago most people were willing to try an apple crisp or their normal standard drink, but when we run out of the inclusions for a refresher or the syrups to make tik tok drinks (raspberry for SAR, toffee nut/hazelnut for captain crunch Bs, etc.) then people are like… well what now if I can’t get this exact thing I screenshotted.
stoneylizzard 1 points 1y ago
ran out of chai, two percent and heavy cream yesterday. completely out of every single sandwich and paninis too for a bit. 😔
ItzBoogieMan 1 points 1y ago
We’ve had no siracha for months
XMyshelX [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Us too

We have been out of venti iced cups for two days

Here in the Phoenix area the company that delivers our orders doesn't have enough drivers. Our RP was supposed to come a week ago, and never showed up. We're at the point of outage that each morning when we open and the daily hasn't shown up that I have to assess what time we would mandatory need to close the store by, and then the order shows up an hour after we open. They have 100+ rp orders just sitting in the warehouse that can't be delivered because all their drivers keep quitting. I'm so sick and tired of the bullshit. I think everyone from barista to SM in our district wishes we would just close.
Lamlot 1 points 1y ago
We are out of venti and Trenta cups.
briannuzzi 1 points 1y ago
we’re out of the apple spice :(
sofso 1 points 1y ago
pumpkin spice seems to be the one thing they're capable of sending us, on our end!!
KindOfBlue98 1 points 1y ago
I’m one of the order receive partners at my store. We got our big order last night, and while we did get 10 cases of pumpkin spice that I quite literally couldn’t fit anywhere, we got no iced venti or trenta cups. Which we’ve been out of for days
MatchingColors 1 points 1y ago
The first order we got with pumpkin was 20 cases which is WAY WAY more then we need before another order
XMyshelX [OP] 3 points 1y ago
We're a high volume store nothing lasts, we don't even have enough storage to fit everything we need any way lol
MatchingColors 1 points 1y ago
Our store is so weird in that every week the business we get and the amount of certain products we use vary so wildly. It makes it hard to do the York order :(
