I just had to try six grande/venti some lids before one fit. What is going on 😃😶 Anyone else having problems too?
Torirock10 79 points 11m ago
yes and they always stick together too
greenChainsaws 20 points 11m ago
yes and you usually have to skip the first two on cold bar bc they got backsplashed by frap roast
snarky_fireball21 52 points 11m ago
That tracks. There's always that one sleeve every so often that just wrecks your day. And you never know when it'll hit nor when it'll end.
Academic-Garbage-644 42 points 11m ago
Yes especially dome lids
Tdawwg78 31 points 11m ago
Yeah a green bean was training on cold bar tonight and he kept getting faulty dome lids for fraps .. very frustrating you finally get all the steps down for a caramel ribbon crunch and you’re stuck on a damn lid

Yes! This morning we had 3 different partners spill their drinks everywhere trying to get on the tall dome lids
Federal_Chemist_5009 1 points 11m ago
oh my god that was literally me yesterday those tall dome lids were so annoying

When I'm having lids problems I find double cupping helps to prevent the cup from bending and possibly losing/spilling drink all over the place. It also for some reason helps get the lid on.. Sometimes. 🤷

The pro tip we all needed

There goes the g/vt cup par 😭
IzzyIllustrations 11 points 11m ago
Yeah hopefully they address it. I've dumped a whole drink on myself because the lids don't fit properly, and we constantly have people coming back asking for a new one. They're working on fixing the damn warming bags but should probably work on the lids while they're at it 🙄
Wonderful-Put-5972 10 points 11m ago
This happens to be the tall domes for us this week. Every other shipment doesn't fit well.
Mea-fae_Owl73 7 points 11m ago
I have problems with them cracking
Automatic-Editor-519 6 points 11m ago
We’ve been having trouble with our g/v lids as well as trenta lids they will not stay on and will immediately pop off.
bloomykunn 6 points 11m ago
WE ARE HAVING THAT PROBLEM TOO

dome lids are the bane of my existence
Ok_Investigator4314 5 points 11m ago
yes with tall domes!!
SSDGM-cool-cat 5 points 11m ago
I taped down my trenta lid!!!
sh3nan1gans_ 4 points 11m ago
I’ve had this problem with dome lids :/
SNES182 4 points 11m ago
Sometimes, you’ll legit just get bad batches of lids. We had a whole sleeve once that I guess didnt finish forming, or melted afterward, because none of the lids would “click” on the front.
RubySapphireSage 4 points 11m ago
Sometimes the lids are half cut or sharp it’s so annoying
laadupe 4 points 11m ago
Omfg YES. it’s soo frustrating!! Our flat lids have been cut really weird too
Mafiya7 3 points 11m ago
I was literally having this issue a few days ago. One of the customers was watching me struggle to put on the sippy lid and told me to just put on the done lid if I was struggling. I thought it was just cause I was new.
Ok-Start-6768 3 points 11m ago
I have that issue with the tall. They literally do not fit and I end up dumping the drink in a grande and handing it out
XenoDemon079 2 points 11m ago
Yaaaay! Quality control for the win guys! We have some really strange looking gr/vt lids rn shits fucked all around
Coffee-Bae 2 points 11m ago
Yes. We've been having a shit time with tall iced lids (flat dome nitro all of it) the other day we got a new shipment and realized THE CUPS ARE DIFERENT SIZES THE RIMS ARE SMALLER AND THATS WHY it pisses me off dude
lilly260_ 2 points 11m ago
our nitro lids are all we have and they keep popping off when customers grab the cup😃 like i’m sorry but i can’t control how the lids are made don’t get mad at me😭
Dear-Document4981 2 points 11m ago
YES!!! Like five of them will stick together in a damn stack and then none of them even fit! They seem to be too big and slide off. I’ve even had customers ask me for new lids in the drive thru
PTOKEN 2 points 11m ago
Every now and then you get a bad shipment of lids or cups that don’t cooperate with each other. Happened all the time when I worked at Starbucks and i spilled many a drink because if it
Intelligent-Ad1273 2 points 11m ago
I almost had a breakdown yesterday because none of our lids would fit. A sincere ‘fuck you’ to whoever is in charge of quality control
gingergal-n-dog 2 points 11m ago
It's the grande cups! the lids were fitting the venti cups fine. 🥤
CatalyticGenesis 2 points 11m ago
i kept getting batches of g/v flat cold lids that... didn't have holes? most of them would be fine but then I'd have customers come back and be like uh... there's no... hole? and id have to be like damn! ur right, that *is* a problem.

but we also keep getting various bad batches of cold lids that won't snap on, or break when u try to snap them on, or otherwise cause problems and make a mess.
