Vodka, I love you moar than you love Señor.
And I love myself for quitting before happy hour, and getting hired back on after it's done. :) You gets are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous right now. Plus I'm getting paid more now.
If I worked at my old store, where we were the #1 selling frap location in our district (mexicans love themselves some fraps) I would literally be in a living hell, and would probably not sleep for a week before it started just out of pure fear. I got hired on last year literally the week it started, so I avoided it. But I heard about it, I think we had sold 3000 fraps by the time the week was over?

You know who else loves themselves some fraps? The white **** business men at my financial district store. Especially when they're cheaper or they have their 15 stars postcard. Those motherfuckers will NOT pay full price

Everyone loves the frapps except for those of us that make them. I am so not looking forward to it. Especially since I close on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Am in a 'licensed store' and get to do the evening clean up and morning prep. Shoot me now?
@Senor...amazing writing! Bravo!
@Eye...good for you. Come have a Mocha Cookie Crumble (extra cleaning tablets free!) on Friday at 5 minutes before 5pm.

I've been making an effort to lay off the whiskey as of late and I can see that coming to an abrupt end this Saturday. I take solace in the comfort of knowing that a lesser man would have broken weeks ago.

it's only two more days till the two hours of terror, but we're already getting questions.
"why isn't my frappe half off? they gave it to me half off yesterday!"
"this is false advertisement. how was i supposed to know it was may THIRD?!"
"so if i come at 5:01 it will be regular priced?" GOOD ONE, BUDDY.
"excuse me the man at the register charged me full price today for my frappuccino." yeah, because it doesn't start until the 3rd. "well why do you have a big sign up about it?!" the big sign says may 3rd. "well how the hell am i supposed to know what day it is?!"Posted 1 year ago # -
splashofsoy, we had the same retarded customers who thought their frappuccinos were half-price today. I just CAN'T WAIT for happy hour.

Ugh, happy hour.
It's when all the rude cheapos that never come to buy anything, come to buy a frapp.
Hate, hate, hate, hate...

last year our happy hour was so much fun, even though it was insane it was when our store was at it's best in regards to morale and partners. now we have a new manager and a new crew and I know it's going to be miserableeee. I've been throwing away the flyers. when customers ask when happy hour is I say whats happy hour?!

Whelp, I'm gonna be on bar in downtown Boston for at least 10 of our Frappy Hour shifts. Wish me luck, comrades.

Day one is over. Somehow.
The very, very worst is yet to come. Who thinks they're going to run out of ammo (we literally chewed through our entire supply of coffee base (and I ordered extra the last few weeks to stock up, too..)) before their next order comes in? 'cause I sure as crap do.

I would like to nominate whoever invented the name "Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappucino" for the A$$ of the Year Award. I put my tongue into knots repeating it so many times on DT. -_______-

All these months, I thought "it couldn't get any worse than making a java chip frappuccino." Starbucks proved me wrong with a super-modified JCF with the stupidass name "mocha cookie crumble frappuccino."
Half priced iced blended sugar-waters. Starbucks really hates its employees.

A jerk-y construction worker came in and ordered a bunch of fraps, but he was rushing us and was rung up at 2:59pm and so it didn't ring in Symphony as half price.
AND LESS **** COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN. Our SM manned up and doulble-barred to get all of those frappucinos out, happy as a clam that they were all full priced.
We didn't hit our frappucino goal, I think. Most of our regulars think that the frappucino lights are gross, so they just get iced coffee.
I love my store.

Our frappuccino goal was 150. I don't think we reached it during the full business day. It might have been the impending Cinco de Mayo. But we, who were primary on bar, should probably thank the super moon for this unexpected blessing. All hail the super moon!

I was a planted DTO all of happy hour, thank the heavens!

This was my first time working Happy Hour. I thought everyone was exaggerating about how crazy it would get. I thought "how bad can it be?" Alas, I was wrong.
My manager took away our second blender so that we wouldn't be tempted to break the new repeatable routine, and also so our tiny counter would have a place for us to put a jug of whole milk. It was impossible for me to churn out fraps fast enough with only one blender. (Plus, there are some major flaws in the beverage sequencing routine that waste a lot of time.) People were getting angry, our drive thru time was 7 minutes or so, lobby customers kept taking other people's drinks so we'd have to remake them. It was 2 hours of pure h*ll.
4.5 hours til it begins again.
