Then you just lay there with your eyes closed

I thought the waking up in a panic about missing my opening shift would subside eventually but I’ve been working opening since October and I still have this problem.

Me realizing I accidentally used regular espresso on a decaf drink. I’m pretty sure it only happened once but goddamn I hope I didn’t fuck up that person’s life

Hope this makes you feel better: One time I read that before this person worked at Starbucks, they worked at another coffee shop and someone asked for just a cup of coffee. This person didn’t know anything about coffee and only had experience with the espresso machine, so they pulled espresso shots until they had filled the entire cup with espresso and gave it out to them 😭 I think they killed someone that day

If it makes you feel better, if they were really THAT sensitive to caffiene they should know better to even risk it because mistakes happen

My worst fear being a coffee addict and lactose intolerant

90% of the partners at my location are lactose intolerant 😂

Good news is that there is no lactose in coffee. 😎

I chased someone down once because my coworker gave them whole milk instead of oat and I knew they were allergic. Lol it keeps me up at night

Holy shit that was divine intervention right there

I once thought I've developed cow milk allergy (spoiler: I didn't) and tried various plant milks in my local coffee place. Once on Monday a barista saw me and almost bursted out in tears, because on Friday she accidentally made me a whole-milk latte when I asked for coconut milk. I told her I didn't even noticed and was fine (we had a small talk about milks a while ago and I told her my suspicions about allergies).

Jokes on you. I dissociated so bad at Starbucks I barely remember working there.
