Pouring soy/almond/coconut milk is the Starbucks equivalent of peeing with a boner. (self.starbucksbaristas)

Change my mind.

also feel free to argue over hierarchy of milks

when it super slow pours so you squeeze it and it changes it entire trajectory missing the cup and landing all over the counter 😏

Thank god it's not just me 🤣 I covered my apron in almond milk first thing this morning because of this.
No-Tooth4593 [OP] 10 points 1y ago
I think I’ve collectively dumped at least a gallon of soy milk on the bar so far

so glad its not just me lol I thought I was just clumsy when I shot almond milk all over the machine and counter lol

Better than letting the top of while shaking an pink drink. Happened to my coworker. I helped him clean freeze dried strawberries off the ceiling

When you've got it pouring fast because you've turned it completely upside down or are squeezing it and then it's hard to stop it from pouring so you pour too much and just waste product

It takes like years of practice to pour that shit perfectly. I don’t have the coordination to adjust my hand pressure quick enough as the milk glugs out uncontrollably

what a beautifully accurate analogy.

It came to me whilst wiping stray soy milk off the poor refrigerator

also a fresh bottle of oatmilk. either super slow pour or you gotta squeeze tf out of it to keep the flow going. if you don’t it just splashes all over

Oat milk is the easiest. Just pour out with the opening on topside

The spouts are too damn small!

They’re just so poorly designed with that weird plastic thing you have to rip off/poke through. The most annoying shit ever

our coconut milk is the bane of my existence but so damn popular

Soy milk is the worst with this.

Lmao. God bless oat milk for having a well-designed carton.
No-Tooth4593 [OP] 6 points 1y ago
Oat milk is the goat milk 🙌
pranasoup 2 points 1y ago
yes this ^^^but lowkey still waiting for them to upgrade our oat to a large carton like they did for almond so quickly. oat’s proven more than popular, why are they taking so long?!

The strawberry purée carton looks like a crime scene from the very first pour. It’s truly ridiculous.

If you can—like during peak or if you know you’ll finish a box of milk on your shift—you can stab a hole on the top side of the milk carton with the skim spoon/clean metal spoon (either opposite where the spout is on the top or opposite on the side) to make it pour better. But definitely don’t let it go for more than a shift unless you want the next partner to cuss you out for making them spill milk….

If your store has the luxury of extra jugs you could always put them in there (did that once when we were out of lemonade for a day. It truly felt blissful lol).
No-Tooth4593 [OP] 6 points 1y ago
That’s hella smart I never thought of that. You could pre-pour like two nut milks per jug which solves spilling AND constantly throwing them away

Counter point—Oatmilk that had to have the seal stabbed when it ripped.
