Their hands are not okay. Sincerely, my poor bloody, cracked hands.

As an SSV, y’all are the backbone of the store when I have to do other slow supervisor stuff! Love CS baristas!!

Thank you, I actually take a little bit of pride in it because I know how much stress my shifts have and I don’t want to let them down. It makes me feel guilty on the rare occasion that I’m not on CS though lol
Thank you for your comment! <3

i wish i could be on cs i was never shown how to properly take note on what needs to be stocked or how many all i know is backups which i only recently learned and refilling things like ice or inclusions

I used to be terrible at CS and now I’m usually always CS bc I kill it. My tip is to imagine you are on bar. What would you need in this moment? Some urgent easy things to start with are changing sani, restocking cups and lids, then move on to milks. Imagine you are on any planted position. What would you need to seamlessly do your job? You are the glue that holds things together, and if you’re doing it right they won’t ever have to ask for anything and will probs forget you are even there. It’s the most important and thankless position. It’s like hospital triage, or like you are the puppeteer anticipating needs and making life easier for the planted baristas. Best advice I can give is step outside of yourself and fill in the missing pieces

Awwwww I’m sorry ❤️ can u take a cheap pair of like $1 gloves slather your hands with Vaseline and sleep with them on overnight? That should help a bunch.
TJW351 [OP]2 points1y ago
You’re so sweet! I’ve considered this with lotion but not Vaseline. I didn’t realize that worked. Thank you!

No problem! I’m a mom so helping people is second nature! Hope it helps! 😊

Am I the only one who's hands are completely fine?
Some of our partners have really dry or cracked hands but I'm just in there literally sticking my hand in a keg full of urnex to scrub it with zero problems
TJW351 [OP]1 points1y ago
For me I think it’s having my hands covered in sani water for 5-6 hours at a time that makes it dry. Mostly I’m just annoyed with the amount of cuts covering my knuckles and fingers from scrubbing the kegs and the rest of the sharp things
ihateyousoymatcha2 points1y ago
My cuts all come from the fridge corners when I pull them out to mop under them

I don’t envy our CS. She angry mutters every time she takes fridge gaskets off to clean. I didn’t even realize they came off…
TJW351 [OP]2 points1y ago
Oh yeah. Those things get extra crusty but tbh the worst thing is putting those suckers back on

Did this today for clean play, behind bar fridges gaskets are easy asf to put on..but I struggled for 10mins tryna put the gaskets back on the milk fridge and prep breakfast sandwiches/keg fridges today in the BOH 🤦🏽♀💀

I WISH I WAS A FOREVER CS BARISTA IM STUCK W WARMING AND BAR THO
Buttafly_3601 points11m ago
I'm stuck on bar soon as I get clocked in and stay there till b4 close.. :/ I hardly ever be on POS and warming unless I'm Solo'ing..😫💯
TJW351 [OP]1 points1y ago
Man I know how hot it gets standing in front of the ovens all day. My store is understaffed enough that I am covering front register, warming, and CS duties most of the time. Hope you have a good day and that your shift moves you to something else!

its alright im looking for new jobs as we speak actually will be lining my ducks in a row and promoting myself to customer soon
