Oh yikes that sounds like a nightmare. We ran out of all our refresher bases and grande-Trente cold cups.

I've not spilled anything at Starbucks yet, but at my first job I spilled all the oil from a big deep fryer on the floor. 🤗
dabsncats [OP]9 points1y ago
oh no that sounds awful! i hadn’t spilled anything in a while until that trenta iced coffee i spilled in the second pic. slid it onto the drive thru counter with a little too much force🙃

One of my first days I spilled a whole freshly-made 2L pitcher of sweet cream all over the floor. It was fantastic and I had NO IDEA what to do.

Did you guys shutdown the store down? I remember when someone's kid threw up in our lobby we closed our store until bio-hazard came
dabsncats [OP]22 points1y ago
yes had to close the cafe until they could come clean it up. kind of a blessing in disguise haha

I always worry that will happen as someone with emetophobia. I would have to leave

Oh I’d hide my waters and drinks in the back!

it was my first Sunday morning experience, and also my last. the Drown that I was Drowning. the amount of huffs and puffs and eye rolls I received from customers who had to wait for their drinks because i was doing all of bar, and drive through, cafe, and mobiles were coming in every second i blinked. thankfully had some help to get the rush down, but im guessing Sunday was terrible for all of us :/ i hope you relax and enjoy some self care after everything
dabsncats [OP]4 points1y ago
jesus, i’m sorry. solo bar for sunday peak sounds rough. we had 4 ppl for peak and that was rough and even still we had 2 bars. yes, i hope you took some time to take care of yourself after that morning!
overturned234 points1y ago
I would’ve quit
dabsncats [OP]2 points1y ago
definitely thought about it

i was on cold bar and someone had stacked one of the refresher inclusions on top of the little holder and it fell off and knocked over 3 trenta cold brews 🥲

My Sunday was by far the worst day ever.

So far no spills yet, but at my first job I spilled half a pan of red sauce, that was fun.

puke in the lobby: blessings in disguise

also spilled the whole backup mocha yesterday bc people don't know how to put shit down on a sturdy surface 😭
SeaOrganic372 points1y ago
My bet is the phone was the cause of the mocha madness here
dallizzlee2 points1y ago
If you kids weren’t on those damn phones so much
dabsncats [OP]1 points1y ago
my coworker tripped over the crate from our order and dropped the mocha :( i’ll have to ask him if he was on the phone lol
mama_bibi2 points1y ago
If it makes you feel better the spill at drive counter happens at least once a day at my store
Starlex012 points1y ago
The same as always. As I work at the best selling store in my country, countless people come, you can't see the end of the queue, etc. Even before closing. So briefly, busy as hell. And very stressful. Hahahha
Necessary_Low9392 points1y ago
Damn.
dabsncats [OP]5 points1y ago
the funny part was that these 3 incidents all happened within like 5 minutes of each other
Necessary_Low9393 points1y ago
Might wanna check the feng shui lol. Sometimes things just goes wrong for some odd reason.

I got busy and distracted during a rush of tourists. Double brewed pike into one urn yesterday on accident. Then I Went to take the grinds out and the whole top was full of boiling liquid that gushed all over my hands. Wet grinds everywhere.
dabsncats [OP]2 points1y ago
noooo! that just happened to my coworker last week, hope you took care of any burns and get workers comp for any medical bills related to it!!
MeetingFull88852 points1y ago
No burns thankfully!

Someone was stabbed in my friends lobby yesterday
dabsncats [OP]1 points1y ago
what in the world
One_Abalone61061 points1y ago
Yeah she sent me a message saying that after the cops had everyone escorted out they shut down completely and eventually sent home. Luckily none of the baristas actually saw it happen, just saw the poor man bleed all over the lobby
