Barista Kryptonite? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Caffeineadick
So a few of my coworkers and myself have come to the conclusion each barista has a kryptonite there more Likely to mess up on
. One of my coworkers is matcha powder she’ll spill one at least once a month, mine is mango dragonfruits in the last 2 weeks I’ve spilt 5 of them. And another one of my coworker always mixes up the teas to the correct pitchers.

This was mostly for the question what is your guys kryptonite?

100% feel that I lean away now the amount of times I’ve gotten chai on my forehead and didn’t notice till after work

Heavy cream and I absolutely hate it. I try to shake it because sometimes it just gets clumpy but people cANT CLOSE THE TOPS SO IT ALWAYS SPILLS ON ME

Coconut milk.

Every time i go to shake it, without fail, I end up getting it all over me due to it not being closed properly 🥲

Feel this except it’s the steamed coconut milk when I try to groom it without fails splash’s all over my apron

Same with extra hot for whatever reason when it’s extra hot I always spill on my hand on the plus side I’m immune to hot water/substances now

Mine is ice. Everyday. Everyday i drop so So much ice.

Not the typical rush time and dropped a few ice cubes. Like i miss the WHOLE CUP sometimes. By sometimes, I mean way too often 😵‍💫

Trainer told our green bean today, “Dont worry about dropping some ice cubes! We have the floor fan, and you will never be on due-ear’s level so dont stress”

LMAOOO

Hopefully it gets sweeper up otherwise I feel like the melted ice would be an annoyance

I can already tell you that for a vast majority of our store it's probably either the dome lids or literally any frappicino.

Idk why but when I'm on bar it's the almond milk. Every time i go to shake it after opening, it gets EVERYWHERE. And when that doesn't happen? The pull tab on the seal will break and I'll need to get a box cutter.

But if I'm on ovens. One word: cheese. I'm not lactose intolerant. It's just a pain in the ass to deal with.

I would genuinely cry if I spilled a Frappuccino, I can not for the life of me open alternative milks or lactose milk it breaks each time I get my coworkers to open them for me now

chai ☹️ pumping chai is dangerous
Caffeineadick [OP] 2 points 1y ago
100% I had to get taken out of bar today to flush my eye out with water, the burn has made me hate chais except the ice ones too easy to make to hate

lilly260_ 2 points 1y ago
once i dropped 2 whole cubes of coffee beans in the same shift when i went to grind them. the LIDS are terrible omg
Caffeineadick [OP] 2 points 1y ago
The lids never fit tbh we keep our sweet cream in them and I spill that every time I get it into the fridge, there badly designed
National-Surprise-26 1 points 1y ago
Iced white mochas for some unknown reason they’re the only drink I spill and it happens multiple times a week
Decent_Wall1380 1 points 1y ago
i always get minor injuries cleaning the ovens

I feel like this is weird, but when customers order their refreshers blended, I make it in the shaker and then pour the contents into the blender, then I blend it but forget to put the lid on the pitcher. Every time. It goes everywhere. I ONLY do this with blended refreshers! I did it 3 times today lol, but my Frappuccinos were fine. Why does my brain do this.

Egg bites. I can’t ever get them open and I drop them coming out of the oven.
