I was primary on cold beverage today, made all of the frappuccinos.
/flex
Our store only has 2 packets of frapproast left, no more coffee frappuccino base, and we're struggling daily with getting HWC.

It's been terrible weather in MN lately, so frappy hour has been very slow right now. Yesterday we have 12 customers in the last hour for a total for 2 fraps =D

I got to work half of frappy hour alone yesterday. Yay for baristas who put in their "two weeks notice" then don't show up for the rest of their shifts. I love working 10:30 am to 9:30 pm to cover for your inconsiderateness -_-

There were just two of us to handle a line out the door for frappy hour yesterday and the mids **** up almost every can of whipped cream. People kept getting frapps all night long, driving me to near insanity. And I get to do it all over again in T-minus five hours.

If I don't get the tote bag, frisbee, and sunglasses I'm going to rage.

Im an opener/early and as I tend to work a lot of 8 hour shifts I personally make sure that I make a crap ton of whips, stock the hell out of everything and clean stuff before I leave. I've only worked 2 of these cause of my hours but I try to make it easier on my partners when can. We still dont have whole milk so we are pushing the 2%. I feel for you all who go thru this daily.

I tried a caramel frappuccino just now for the first time and for the life of me, Idky people like them so damned much.
I can see the appeal to a small child. But grown adults?! They taste gross, and after every sip I had brain freeze.
I'll stick with my tall coffee. :)

Personally, I'm not sure what fell spirit of unholiness is keeping me truckin', but I guess it could be the nearly 120 vacation hours I have saved up.
All I know is I won't be getting the frappuccino roast stains out of my forearm anytime soon.

Today was insane...perhaps because it was hot today...made so many frappuccinos..argh @ TallHotCoffee, OMG I tried caramel frappuccino today too for the first time; it was sooooooooo sweet that I thought I was drinking sugar-water, and then I added coffee and made it extra coffee CF..I will NOT be drinking it again...gross!!!

yesterday and today my store made 400 fraps within the "happy" hour. 9/10 were also XXXCR, and I am unfortunate to be an experienced Barista that gets placed at cold bar 8/9 of these shifts...fml.

5:00. "Attention customers, Happy Hour is now over but we will be back 3 o'clock sharp tomorrow! Come visit us again soon!"
Chick rolls around 10 minutes later and orders like 6 frappuccinos.
"Um, shouldn't all those be half off?"
- I'm sorry, happy hour ended 5 minutes ago. They're full priced now.
"Well I didn't see the sign until now."
- It'll be back tomorrow, Happy Hour is going on until Mother's Day.
"Are you serious? I didn't know. I need them now."
- You can still get them, they're just not half off anymore.
"Yeah, but I was distracted outside or else I would have been here on time."
- Look, I'm sorry but it's ___ dollars. I can't give you the discount anymore. If you want, you can come back tomorrow and get them half off.
"No. I'll take them now. I just want 2 though."Posted 1 year ago # -
people think we have the power to control the discount and that it isn't the computer that does it for us.
idiots.

TODAY IS MY LAST FRAPPUCCINO F%$*FEST! :D
I've volunteered to work cold bar for each one I've worked, and it's actually been great. Our mantra has been to "laugh when you're angry" and it works out really well. We've managed to keep the DT time around 2:30-3:30, with between 160-200 customers for the 2 hour period. Those 2 hours fly by.
I'm positive it's because I haven't had to talk to customers during those 2 hours.

@KDH, I would die laughing.
I didn't make any frappuccinos or even bar during happy hour. Thank you super moon.

I was alone for it most of yesterday, but had wonderful register help from the grocery department, which I am most greatful for. I am sick of making mocha cookie crumbles...and the winner for yesterday was a venti white mocha frap, espresso shots instead of frap roast, 1 pump of peppermint, and 6 scoops of java chips, with whip.....where the **** do people come up with this ****?

And so the weekend begins. Shall we, gentlemen?
I bid you, customers- achieve me and then sell my bones.

We were absolutely slammed for crappy hour.
Disgustomer: *orders MCF -wc*
Me: *makes said drink*
Disgustomer: "Why does this look ... chocolatey??? That's not what I wanted?"
Me: "You ordered a mocha coconut frappuccino, right?"
Disgustomer: "Yes... why is there chocolate"
Me: "Because it's a MOCHA coconut frappuccino... there's chocolate in it"
Disgustomr: "Make it again, no CHOCOLATE THIS TIME... MOCHA COCONUT FRAPPUCCINO!"
Me: *FACEPALM*while there's a line out the door. YAYYY.

171 today. Not the most I've made, but one of our blenders decided to **** the bed this morning, so looking down at the line of cold bar cups waiting to be filled with awful sugar glop was reminiscent of staring at rows upon rows of white gravestones at the national cemetery.

Today my **** wonderful Manager decides to spray paint the desk in the back room...IN THE BACK ROOM fifteen minutes after happy hour started, not only was our line out the door, we had a line in our queue creeping up the bar, and a girl who is 7 months pregnant on the floor.
Of course, my pregnant coworker left because she didn't want to expose her baby to the fumes, we had customers complaining about the smell, all THREE people on the floor were light headed, I myself was getting quite a nice woozy high off of them, she continued to spray paint while we had three people on the floor and a store full of customers...we have no windows, only 2 doors that are across the building form the back room.
WHO THE **** DOES THAT?!
Needless to say, my lunch started at 6:35, I was supposed to be off at 7. came back at 7:05, another girl needed a lunch, I clocked out at 8:42 (we close at 8:00, closers stay until 8:30) the other 2 girls were out around 9:30.
YAAAAAAY HAPPY HOUR!
oh and who else thinks my managers actions were questionable?Posted 1 year ago # -
What kind of feces-stained malcontent spray paints, uses a flammable and toxic aerosol, in a closed space with no air circulation or ventilation? They ever consider the uh, pilot light on the water heater? You could have all been vaporized. Did your SM's parents have any children that lived?
Though I'm sure if it vaporized the line, that would've been hilarious. Like Willem Dafoe throwing pumpkins at **** yo. DON'T TELL HARRY!
..still, just two more days. I wish I could say we all get a break after this horror, but it is the Season of the Frap. I'm pretty sure we're doing Threat (lolo) Receipts this year, too, but I jesus balls hope not.

Oh my!!! How the flip do these creatures become managers?!?!? It was my sm first time and my sm was not there most of the frappy hours. its ok....better that my sm is out of the way!
and why does corp decide to change the frap process a couple days before the mess?

I almost quit today, that's how **** I am. I was swamped with frappuccinos all happy hour to the point where we ran through 9 whipped creams. The incompetent baristas at the register didn't take down ANY names for drinks, and kept asking light frappuccino customers if they want whipped cream. "Errmmmmm SURE!"
Oh and when someone was told to make WC, he used the "eyeball" method of measuring HWC... BY POURING THEM ALL THE WAY TO THE BRIM OF EACH WC CANISTER. NONE OF THE NEW WHIPPED CREAMS HE MADE WORKED! MY COWORKERS ARE ALL **** IDIOTS

so a car broke down in our DT today during happy hour, so two partners and a random customer are helping push the car out then the line gets going again then I notice it's stopped, I look out the window, the customer that was helping was in the DT, his empty car was then left to block the rest of the cars in DT, so ridic.

I was asked to help other store in the city, and silly me volunteered to do so. It was insanely busy with hottest weather today...gosh!!! We had two ladies come in and got their M%^&*^&* Crappuccino, and when about to leave the store, the automatic door did not opened...so dumb that they started yelling, yes yelling!!! they were like: 'OMG we are locked!!! How are we gonna go home. HELP!" and then to the other girl, "Go check if there is a back door", and she is "NOOO I don't think so"...bizarre, and I stepped in and door opened; gosh they were so happy about it like reallllllllyyy happy...it turns out that they were somewhat far away from the automatic door and the sensor wasn't catching etc.. but very dumb incident!!!
