I had a coworker drop one last month and we’re still finding little chunks of glass under the fridges. Make sure to check the ground before kneeling to restock 😂

Ahh yeah. I cut my hand on a piece of shot glass a year ago while kneeling to restock.

Haha yep. I didnt tell anyone cuz i didnt wanna get in trouble or sent home, couldnt afford that. I mightve gotten blood on one customer’s cup but doubt she noticed.

That's gross. Wash your hands and put a bandaid on. No one's gonna send you home.

I saved one of our brand new ones with my feet today, shoes covered in espresso but no glass cleanup

makes for quite a lovely stain, no?

So many ruined shoes, I get the dirt cheap ones so it doesn't matter so much but damn

This happened to me but it exploded in my hand, i pulled shots, dumped in the cup and then immediately rinsed it and it crumbled to pieces 🥲 too much hot and too much cold

If I got paid enough and had an award to give, this would be it. This would be the one.

A coworker broke one a couple weeks ago. It bounced around for a solid five seconds before it exploded.
We all just watched it zing back and forth like 😲

It’s crazy how far spread the shattered glass goes on those things!!!

the fact that it literally went *poof* when it hit the ground

No idea how many I've knocked over without chipping or breaking

ive done this twice and each time was either right before closing or during 😭 it lasts 3 bounces on tile before shattering and i had crunchy steps for weeks

my former coworker did this once no more than 5 minutes after she had JUST swept and mopped the floor. we all laughed about it but boy was that a bitch to clean up lol. sorry that happened to you!!!! hope no one got hurt, be extra careful in case y’all didn’t get to clean all of it up :-)

I’ve worked at two different coffee shops in the past almost 6 years. Both had shot glasses and I STILL haven’t broken one.. I think I should just drop one on purpose because I’m starting to think it’s unlucky lol.
