Taught my DM how to make cold brew today. (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by [deleted]
They came in for a meeting and we were a skeleton crew (3 people on peak with drive, cafe, and mobiles) and we desperately needed kegs for cold brew so I took them to back and taught them how to put it together. Seemed like they had fun helping, and got to see first hand what we deal with on the daily.

Like, they ground bags of cold brew on paper (ETA: not what it's ground on, omg, I'm going to put my nose in the corner now!), then cleaned out the old cold brew drip system and washed everything (at least 4 dishloads at my store), then put a new cold brew liner in and then did the damn thing?

Or, they took a cube of already-pulled cold brew, diluted with 5L water, and pretended they were baristas? "I 'worked' today?"

seems like it was diluting the concentrate since they said they needed the kegs quickly, which wouldn’t be ready for 20 hours if it was the first option.

It's still something, which is better than nothing. I was just curious how much actual labor DM did, lol.

They just diluted the concentrate, and mixed ice cubes into water. It was just funny to see them actually doing barista labor.

An old ssv made our DM do drains, we were on a 4 par in the middle of peak (usually we have anywhere from 6-7 people but due to Covid and callouts etc) and he made a surprise visit and complained our drains Weren’t up to standard so she said he wanted them to standard he could do it, he got on his hands and knees and did them and broke way too much of a sweat doing it
