just want to share the absolute win i had today, i’ve been a SSV for like six months, barista for a year before that, and today i ran the opening shift for red cup day. we ended up doing an 1000 dollar half hour around 8am, with 600-900 dollar half hours sprinkled in from 5a-11a. after the crusade my SM told me that nobody else could have handled running the shift as well as i did, and that it went so incredibly smoothly. nobody cried! we didn’t run out of cups! everyone got their breaks (i didn’t get a lunch but that’s okay)! we had a 52 second window time all day! and i got out on time! and only like three customers asked for red cups with their non-holiday drinks! god bless the siren for a good thursday and a good team, i hope everyone else survived:))
