At least it happened at the sink. I didn’t get the o-ring on right once and the canister sprayed all over me and customers sitting at the end of the bar.

I recommend dish soap and very hot water to clean your glasses 🤓

Was today just a living nightmare for everyone? I was shaking an iced shaken expresso and the lid slipped on me and went everywhere.
HarleyLeMay 3 points 1y ago
That’s a good question because it was a living nightmare today for me, too. I swear every time I would start using a new whip it was practically liquid from not being shaken. And my coworker spilt coffee on me…twice…while I was solo on drive during a rush.

Honestly how I felt. Next to crying. I am usually the most chipper person on shift, this morning was not it.

this happened to me once when I didn't let the canisters get all the whip cream out because I was too busy in my head. I opened it and boom... it went all over my face and hat..... but luckily I was closing and I had only 15 mins left before heading home 🙃
Not_Another_Karen [OP] 20 points 1y ago
I only clocked in 5 minutes prior to this....
Minute-General-2090 1 points 1y ago
oh no! 😭

Yeah when I was new I was washing dishes and because a whip didn’t have the white spout thing on it I figured it had been emptied already and opened it, big mistake lol. A coworker came back and just stopped in his tracks and busted out laughing.

One happy camper you are !

This happened to me yesterday.
There wasn't a charger in the whip.
Apparently there was also no gasket. So that was fun.

This is stunning. Bravo.
ElizzyB 2 points 1y ago
Look at that sink setup tho. Hot damn
PavlovianNinja 1 points 1y ago
? I'm confused. I worked at a Tarbucks and a corporate store and they both looked like this. Lol
dkr1829 2 points 1y ago
Lol it just happened to me yesterday too. Someone forgot to put in the white little ring and I got to deal with the aftermath 😂😂😂

At least it ain’t milk edit: actually I don’t know what’s worse.
Not_Another_Karen [OP] 1 points 1y ago
It was so oily in texture. I think milk may have been easier to clean up at least.
Necessary_Low939 1 points 1y ago
Ah I see. Damn sorry this happened
