BONE DRY TODD (i.redd.it)

Bone dry cappuccino is so fun to make but venti and oatmilk is kinda rude Todd.

budsandrainbowsss 149 points 11m ago

The most rude. But barista tip incoming… if you fill the pitcher up with ice and water first and let it sit 10-15 seconds you can get a lot more foam when steaming :)

floofxs2 38 points 11m ago

And now I want an undertow lol 😆

BaristaBabe13 1 points 11m ago

Ooooohhh SAME!! With a half pump of vanilla and oat milk!!

Ok_Customer7396 2 points 10m ago

My go to every morning condensed "BOSE" Undertow
2 pumps Brown Sugar add cinnamon Oatmilk and 4 shots on top
Fits in a short cup. Goes down super smooth and I don't have to worry about my drink getting watered down if I get a rush.

szhou009 7 points 11m ago

No way, gonna try this out

BaristaBabe13 6 points 11m ago

Before Starbucks, I worked at a natural food store. We had a café there, which is where I worked. We kept a bucket of sanitizer right by the espresso machine, and after each drink, we would dip the pitcher in sanitizer, rinse it, then store them in the fridge. Cold pitchers (especially bell shaped ones) are phenomenal for foaming!!

Ok-Start-6768 27 points 11m ago

We got a customer who got an espresso macchiato in a venti cup filled to the top so basically we had to steam 3 pitchers of foam with 2 shots 🙃

aee78 41 points 11m ago

I'd charge them for a venti cappuccino, because that's what they're getting.

Ok-Start-6768 20 points 11m ago

She does mobiles so I’m not charging her we just know who she is lol

Flat-Whereas3075 12 points 11m ago

I would mark it as unable to be made.

She knows what she’s doing.

When she came I would let her know that espresso macchiatos are in a short cup,
And that she will have to pay with foam in the future.

And then I’d tell all my shifts and my managers.

Because they would all look at it and know what’s up.

nateilebode 2 points 11m ago

I was gonna say how much oat milk do you Waste? (I’m a ex SB employee)

No_Fruit_6188 [OP] 144 points 11m ago

He also reached way across the counter, and lifted the cup up on the bar and set it back down to feel the weight. While my co worker was making it. Then proceeded to coach him on how to make it and watched him like a zoo animal.

cpv_91 144 points 11m ago

OH HELL NO! I'm usually able to keep chill with some of our more 'special' customers but this for sure would have made me lose my shit.

1) there is NO reaching across the counter
2) you can 'weigh' in on the final product when I hand it to you
3) if you are such an expert on drink production, by all means make your drink at home, I'm quite busy here and don't need your help. Ok, thanks.

emileeavi 63 points 11m ago

"Sir if you continue to reach in our station I'll have to ask you to leave" - I said this to a customer once and I had absolutely no permission to say it.. but I did anyways

vertigo00o 26 points 11m ago

there’s a regular named bill, lemme say he’s about 70-80 years old, who’s a regular at my store and he flirts with the teenage girl minors and has done everything to get within 6 feet of them. it’s absolutely fucking disgusting and he’s asked for my age and when i told him he immediately went up to one of the actual minors. it’s so disgusting and everytime my coworkers and i see him walk up from the parking lot all the uterus owning partners immediately go to the back. usually the male shifts and the male guys stay on the floor when he’s there. it’s literally so gross 🤮

brainiaxx 19 points 11m ago

Start filing incident reports. Report to HR if manager/shifts/dm don’t let you, enough incidents and you can ban someone. Except for the lady who threatened my shift, she got the cops called on her.

vertigo00o 4 points 11m ago

….wow i should really look up some things. thank you friend

floofxs2 28 points 11m ago

Nooooooo Todd!!! Once I had a customer grab my milk pitcher off the bar because she wanted more milk (was adding steamed milk to a drip) and i told her of course just a second - she said “i got it” and grabbed the pitcher… I looked at her in amazement and she looked at me and slowly put it down and said “I shouldn’t have done that” I said “no” and we both laughed because she spaced out. But first and only time I had a customer grab off the machine.

lilleniouo 18 points 11m ago

NOOOOO

aee78 16 points 11m ago

I would have tossed the cup in the trash. Then gone and washed my hands.
"Do it again and you'll be leaving."

Had a guy reach under the barrier when they had them for covid to find his drink. We hadn't pulled the ticket yet. My SM dumped every drink he touched and told us to remake them before moving onto anything new while looking straight at this dude. So no way I'll get in trouble.

ItsJustPercy 13 points 11m ago

That’s awful and SO unsanitary. Imagine that if that wasn’t even his drink??

Merodisenpai 9 points 11m ago

My panic would have accidentally burnt the customer. Please don't reach from across the counter. I it's unsanitary! What if I have something sharp near me?

uncomfortableaf008 3 points 11m ago

Like I accidentally burn myself all the freaking time Todd I don’t need your liability hands in here too damn

nathanwp07 53 points 11m ago

Noo not with the oatmilk too! Doing extra dry cappuccinos with non dairy is extra difficult and time consuming oof🤣💀

trousersquid 25 points 11m ago

And a venti? You'd probably have to do two pitchers just to get enough foam 🙃

No_Fruit_6188 [OP] 13 points 11m ago

He did have to use 2 pitchers.

violaaesthetic 36 points 11m ago

Todd (from Mario) ((bone dry))

crescent_coop 6 points 11m ago

i am the target audience for this

leeblissy 4 points 11m ago

seconded on the targeted audience, I did NOT expect a todd from mario comment on the barista sub 😂

crescent_coop 3 points 11m ago

i mean to be fair, you can’t have drawfee without coffee (or handsome men)

[deleted] 1 points 11m ago

lewabwee 24 points 11m ago

It really should cost extra because of all the oat milk it’s gonna waste and the labor involved.

Have_Donut 21 points 11m ago

Or not be an option on it at all. I kinda feel like certain drinks should have restricted options.

lewabwee 4 points 11m ago

Yeah, there’s just so much waste involved. The labor might warrant an upcharge but the waste should make it just not allowed.

SelocAvrap 4 points 11m ago

If you pour another size down in milk, aerate longer, then give it a really good tap-tap-swirl repeat, you can get a lot of foam with **little to no** waste

Edit: bolded for emphasis

lewabwee 6 points 11m ago

Not if you want to do bone dry correctly. That involves you sitting there scooping the foam off the top after it separates. Even going down a size won’t totally clear it and certainly not in a speedy manner since the foam doesn’t immediately separate all at once.

espressojunkie 1 points 11m ago

It’s going to cost 70 cents extra and the system will also keep in mind that the “extra dry” button was used.

defendtrevornoah 17 points 11m ago

Todd worked in a smaller more hipster cafe for sure haha

EarthLaser 15 points 11m ago

People who order venti cappuccinos don’t understand basic science. Foam turns back into liquid! Order a smaller size!

mrsastro 3 points 11m ago

Order nonfat milk!

EarthLaser 2 points 11m ago

🤮

Spookybabette 15 points 11m ago

Todd sounds like he wants everyone to know he knows abt cappuccinos

imtrash315 5 points 11m ago

This lol

converse_ing 12 points 11m ago

We have a regular who gets a extra dry cappuccino with layers of Cinnamon Dolce topping throughout the foam.

narviat 9 points 11m ago

ok ngl that sounds tasty af

insertusernameplease 8 points 11m ago

Ok but honestly? Genius

Kinsamiss 12 points 11m ago

This is similar to my drink. A friend of mine calls it ‘caffeinated air’ but in no way am I making it with anything other than dairy based milk.

rosaliecrowe 9 points 11m ago

I get bone dry... But venti!?!??!? Nooooo 😭 why 18 oz foam 🧐

debreee 9 points 11m ago

I don’t understand the appeal of bone dry cappuccinos

Ok-Start-6768 5 points 11m ago

It’s just a bigger macchiato. Traditional espresso drinks are common in European cities so a lot of people who prefer that get things like that.

wankmasterr_69 9 points 11m ago

Dry Bones Todd

NorthSetting5621 3 points 11m ago

Has he tried lube?

FunBooger 3 points 11m ago

I hate it when my bone dry.

Necessary_Low939 3 points 11m ago

Hate these bone dry people lol

FullOfHelena 3 points 11m ago

This sounds like a McElroy brothers bit

Whang 2 points 11m ago

Todd needs to sit himself down.

katierosie29 2 points 11m ago

oh yeah, at my store we have a Bone Scott as we like to call him

Responsible_Snow7109 2 points 11m ago

Lol at my store we have a bone carol lol she gets a venti cappuccino extra dry and 3 shots and 3 pumps of sugar free vanilla and cinnamon on top. But she only likes it with scooped foam. But she atleast wants nonfat milk which is wayyy better at foaming so i have to still foam 2 or like 1 and a half pitchers of it but i dont mind cuz the lady is so nice lol and she always gives a decent amount of time before coming in to pick it up!

cadmus1890 2 points 11m ago

"...And why is the carpet all wet, Todd?"

Ok-Start-6768 2 points 11m ago

Just get a macchiato ????

navkabar 1 points 11m ago

Affectionate_Guava71 -1 points 11m ago

Aren’t extra dry cappuccinos just lattes?

Beneficial-Weird-817 13 points 11m ago

For extra wet, basically. Extra dry means there's practically no liquid milk, it's all foam
