i used to do it in the blender also but with ice added so it mixes nice and doesn't foam, until customers caught on and a lady asked for me specifically to make it and do it in the blender. that part is ok by me because i think it's fun making it in the blender, but what if i wasn't working at the time, no way am i gonna make that extra work for other baristas so now i only do in the blender when i know there's no customers seeing me do it

my coworker showed my that way but i forgot all about it till you just mentioned it. :) im gonna try making at least one that way tonight (if i flop then im never attempting it again lmaooo)

Please stop

That’s awesome! I’ll have to remember to try doing that next shift

sometimes by the time i realized, the uber driver has already came to pick it up & the person prob has their incorrect drink. one time i gave an uber eats order the wrong drink (after i talked to the girl on the phone telling her what i was gonna give her instead since what she wanted we didn’t have). it was a genuine mistake, i just packed the wrong drink in her bag. i felt so bad because by the time i realized, i was off the clock.

Little bit of both. It depended on how the customer treated us if they were in the store and how complicated their drink was if they mobile ordered or used Uber eats. If they were jerks I decaffed them. If they ordered decaf I let the shot sit as long as possible. If they ordered sweet cream on a hot drink I put whipped cream on it. Honey citrus mint tea? Nah just jade citrus mint, honey, and a splash of lemonade. I don’t have time to steam stuff when there’s a line to the door

Yeah that’s not science. It’s literally the exact same ingredients as whip.

It’s literally made from milk, heavy cream, and syrup. If that’s how it worked we wouldn’t be allowed to put creamer in coffee either. Your manager doesn’t sound very bright, no offense.

We used to do that too. But if the mobile app isn’t going to stop the customer, why should I?

Two substances mixed with similar ratio one just isn't pointlessly blended since you prefer your whole drink homogenized anyway. It just saves your barista some time. At the end of the day there is no problem, it's our job to do it, however in a job where one of the biggest problems is our customers have absolutely zero idea what they were ordering, it can be frustrating putting up with the entitled incredulous responses when we recommend something to make everyone's lives easier. I hope this helps.

Edit: also I hope the comment about it "already being blended" comes from the ignorance of being a customer, because yes it comes blended for YOU, but the employee still has to spend the extra time making it properly before you obliterate your sugar confection with a spoon for the "texture."

Oml nooooo you have to build them in the shaker

That’s an opinion. A lot of people like it.
