Cute Coffee Comic
I expect most baristas already know the majority of the information featured here, but it's still presented in a hella cute way:

Dear Starbucks Patrons
Yes I know we are technically a coffee shop
but espresso does *not* I repeat does *not* belong in certain beverages
i.e.
SBS with matcha and breve....and an add shot
and
single bag grande awake tea with steamed foamy breve....and an add shot

Later in the evening after making these someone ordered an iced grande passion tea with three shots of....
I was about to jump over the counter and tell her "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
until she said raspberry
sigh of relief

First-Time Borrowed
Although I've been a partner for a year this month, I'll be working in another store for the first time tonight, while it's staff is having their seasonal meeting. Any advice?

I am looking forward to seeing what it's like in a non-DT store!

Hi *waves*
Hey... not sure if anyone remembers me. I used to post here for awhile, then peaced out for a bit for various reasons. Anyways, its cool to see a lot of the same people are still around. Speaking of, my 6 year anni at Bux is coming up November 27th....geez.

Anyways, I don't really have any specific to talk about. Well I guess today was funny because my co-worker and I were singing "Rock Your Body" by Justin Timberlake really loudly in chipmunk voices and we heard some customers laughing loudly at us. (our cafe is downstairs and our tills/bar upstairs). It was embarassing/humerous.

Well I'm looking forward to posting again/reading barista shanangins/bitching. I have missed it. :)

Current Mood:
 okay okay
Current Music:
 None

Here's a weird question/situation for you. My regular drink used to have anywhere from 2(for a tall) to 5 shots (if not an SDX, which was 6-8), but for the last 2 months I've had some odd experiences with caffeine. Anytime I had even a sip of espresso, I'd almost be floored by dizziness and nausea. Iced coffee soon also became a discomfort. Now I can only have one cup of watered down coffee a day, if that - and even a soda or tea afterwards makes me dizzy. I'm not pregnant and not taking any kind of medications. I'm on the depo provera birth control but I've been on it for 2 years and never felt like that.. the only thing I can say has changed is that I have more frequent headaches, but I think it's from my sleeping habits. Has anyone else experienced anything like this???

 Best moment of my day.

My DTO was taking and order and all of a sudden I heard some outbursts from the people near the monitor for the drive thru.  After the interaction was over, I went to see what had happened.  The girl had been in the passenger seat, leaning over to say her order. Apparently her shirt was rather low cut and she was practically hanging out of it. As if that wasn't absurd enough, the guy driving the car then started GROPING HER while she was talking. 

Major kudos to my DTO for keeping it together. He also wins for best possible comment in the situation. 

Me: I kind of want to tell them we have a camera. Like "um, we can see you, dude."

Him: Or: "You want me to use that milk to make your latte?"

Everyone on the floor burst into laughter at the exact same moment, and thank GOD the DT window was closed. Oh dear... what a stupid day.
