But u shouldn't have to do mental gymnastics to figure out how many pumps or shots or whatever go into the non complicated drinks. The recipes are what they are so baristas can make the drinks correctly with the amount of shots and amount of pumps or scoops. Do u feel this way because ur a green bean and havent been making drinks for long? Because u should feel comfortable when making drinks so u wont have to do mental gymnastics to figure out the amount of shots and pumps the standard menu drinks get

Edit: to add, if u are new then i hope u have understanding coworkers to help u when needed 🙂🧡

Second edit: lmao just saw that ur title literally says new barista. Ignore my entire post..well some of it. I just am trying to say i dont want u to be stressed out in doing mental gymnastics to try to figure out drinks. If you have any questions please feel free to ask your coworkers because they should by all means kindly answered any questions that you may have!

as a fellow green bean of a month, i agree to an extent. I’m still learning how to make the base drinks so when they say a base drink i try and recall the amount of pumps/shots and what syrups go into them, and then they change things and its listed out of order sometimes like it’ll say “caramel macchiato soy 3 shots sf vanilla blonde upsidedown” and it makes it confusing trying to think of the base drink but then changing it

you mean the drinks with customizations?
