That was horrible. Today was horrible. Let's face it, when you have an extra five hundred people swarm your cafe during the course of your shift for free stuff, there's no reason not to brew decaf in all urns.
So how'd the rest of you guise survive today's charlie foxtrot?
By the time I came to work today, much of the interest had worn off....but it was still SUPER annoying. The sense of entitlement was disgusting! We had some loser come in with TEN personal cups for himself....yep we filled them, but I sure as hell wasn't happy about it. Who would even WANT that much SB coffee?
I was wondering why I couln't find a parking space at my local Starbucks, I figured it was just the afternoon rush. Every friggen space was filled, oh well.
And Senor, you just keep getting cooler and cooler by the second. Charlie Foxtrot, I get it and it that is funny, really.
A group of 10 idiotic teenagers came in 3 minutes before we closed with their personal cups and all asked for coffee (which I guess is better than them all asking for frappuccinos...) and proceeded to take 10 minutes at the condiment bar just laughing about what a grand old time they were having. Of course, they left a mess all over the bar and the floor. Thanks, kids! :D
Oh god today was my first real day on the job and we were swamped. It was kinda good in a way cause I got to do some actual work (ie: brewing the pikes, working the register, getting pastries). But we had a whole family of 6 come in and ask for their free coffee. Some wanted it iced, some wanted it hot. But some of those people wanted syrups in their coffee and got really offended when we told them we'd still have to charge them for the syrups.
@senorcardgage
charlie foxtrot... amazing
wow today was horrible. fuk earth day, I think I might cut down a tree just to counteract how horrible this day was. we were literally going through full batches of everything including decaf, it was impossible to keep up w/ coffee. plus some t wat ordered a coffee traveler through the DT. not to mention qasa came in today for their inspection. why the fuc k would qasa come in on any day that we are giving away anything for free?
Luckily I closed and it wasn't TOO bad. Lots of teenagers wanting coffee because it's free, and of course the random f'ing idiot asking for something that is NOT brewed coffee or tea in their cup. I still wanted to stab my face off.
I can't wait for the "happy hour" thing coming up. /sarcasm
Well, atleast we all made it out alive and with atleast nine fingers each. And haha, I'm glad you kids got the joke thar.
For the frappy hour horror yet to come, there's a simple solution. Eight packets of decaf VIA make one liter of justice.
earth day sucks ****
1234567....qasa came in to our store as well.
it was crazy nuts...we had one **** come in trying to get us to fill one of those thirst busters from 7-11 full of passion tea. if i never have to brw ice coffe/ any tea again it will be too soon.
all around a day of hell.
Just out of curiosity, what did your guys stores get on the audits?
So pathetic we have to bribe these people to do something decent for the earth.
Sadly senor, the lack of caffeine will be compensated with the 50k voltz of sugar and fat of a Trenta XXXCR, XXXWC CRF!!
Fok it.
I loved all the people that came in today saying "So do I get free coffee or something?" No. Learn to calendar.
**** earth day. We were so f'in busy, I'm surprised we weren't there for hours cleaning after close. And people are stupid, soooo soooooooo stupid. We had one idiot in particular.
DT: DING!
DT: "Blah blah blah hi."
Idiot: "So, are you guys still doing that free cup of coffee today?"
DT: "Yes! As long as you have your own cup, you can get a free hot or cold coffee or tea."
Idiot: "What if you don't have you own cup?"
DT: (looks at me, I clearly say, "then it's no free...duh.") "Then no, you wouldn't be able to get it for free, sorry."
Idiot: "Oh.............okay, that's fine."
DT: "Can I get you something else?"
Idiot: "Uh..................no." (Drives away)
So...explain this to me, how does us giving out free cups of coffee in OUR stupid paper cups have anything to do with Earth Day? Does that help cut down on waste? Uh, no. Why is it that people are so stupid that they can't seem to THINK before they just go with whatever stupid notion is in their heads?
Also, stupid idiots that don't seem to notice that we have a line of cars wrapped around the building, our parking lot is full, and our lobby is full.... But of course, their drink(s) weren't done fast enough for them. YOU WANT F'IN FAST COFFEE, GO TO DANG MCDONALDS AND GET SH*TTY COFFEE.
A guy came in with 10 effin cups??? I'd have told him it was one per person. I don't care if it was a lie, what was he going to say, I don't believe you?
12345678: When people ask for travelers through DT I tell them they can order it and pay for it through DT but out of courtesy for the customers in line behind them they have to come inside the lobby to pick it up. Some get really **** off, but at times travelers that get ordered on the spot take up to 10 minutes to prepare, we can't have the people behind them stuck there for that long. Inconsiderate !diot, if it were you behind someone with a traveler you'd have a heart attack!
Yeah we made them come inside to get the traveler
avonmeowsdale wants to know if you teabagged it, since with a line out the door and things exploding into volcanoes of grounds, syrup and sorrow, we totally have time to go in the back room, drop trow and stretch the bat.
Senor...you crack me up:)
Someone brought in a soup thermos. Like, really?
Some ghetto idiots came into my store with big gulp cups from friggan ampm wanting their free earth day ice coffee. Yes thank you for taking it all...lemme just say they got extra ice.
Oh, there's a solution for that, too. Take some decaf coffee beans (whatever you have open, but decaf Pike Place is the most hilarious), four scoops ground for metal filter, brew it on a half batch (key, here), mix that up into the two two-liter pitchers with ice and blammo. You have decaf iced coffee.
Use this liberally this summer, it's going to be a derpfest.
