We're having a Free day.
That's right, free as in come and try a full-sized drink and don't pay for it. Not a sample cup, a FULL-SIZED DRINK.
Refreshers.
Friday, July 13th.
Be warned.
I have some bad news

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like I have an appointment with Dr. Jack on the fifteenth... Now where is that time off binder??

It's official. I really do hate everything.

hahahahahaha. Really hope this doesn't go to licensed stores.
But double heads up, the refreshers are SOOOO DELICIOUSSSSSSSSS (at least the hibiscus one is)I don't know if they'll be the same as what was tested in my area last year, but it's basically lime & hibiscus refreshers. Like iced teas, but juice instead of tea, half water, shaken with a lime or berries. The limes are ridiculously sour, and if you put more than 1 lime in a tall or grande, or two in a venti or trenta, they become these really bitter sour drinks. And with the berries, you get little pieces at the bottom/scooped in/shaken and then you find little pieces of freeze dried berry getting stuck in your throat/teeth.
But the awesome thing is its super high caffeine. So you can get this huge caffeine rush without having to have a coffee.

This is news to me.

Yup, it is true. Friday July 13th. Customers can try a new hand made refresher. I do believe it is only in the afternoon. Something like 2pm to 5pm.

Hand made refresher? WTF is that?

2012 zombie apocalypse is real

Iced water is bad enough. Pretty soon we're going to have customers stealing the refresher bottles by the armful.
@ONREG: Don't reply to spam threads. Someone will remove them in due time.

Any idea if this is Canada as well
Posted 11 months ago # -
They are pretty good. I had a handcrafted refresher when I in Hawaii.
Posted 11 months ago # -
This is in Canada as well, as well as participating licensed stores. We got an LSON last week with all the grubby details :(

Sorta makes me wonder what kind of terror the employees of 7-11 must go through every year on Free Slurpee Day.
Posted 11 months ago # -
TDF - They don't have to do anything at 7-11. And they have a limited number of cups.

So handmade refreshers are quite a bit different from the cans right? Nobody at my store knows anything about these. I hate using the tea shakers so this is going to be hell....especially using fruit, that will just complicate things even more
Posted 11 months ago # -
Handmade refreshers taste nothing like the canned ones - they taste 1000 better. It's just like making iced teas with an extra ingredient. If you're good with making peach green teas you'll be ok. the biggest hassle is the inclusion tub/shelf, which is another thing to move around and clean.

We don't have peach green teas at my store...guess we're behind. do the handmade refreshers have the green coffee extract for energy?
Posted 11 months ago # -
My store is doing the "Frozt" promotion. I don't think we'll be making refreshers. We sell the canned ones, but I haven't heard anything about making them in store.
Posted 11 months ago # -
I've still heard nothing about this at my store. No one else at my store knows anything about it, either.
I requested it off just to be safe. :)

It's now on the portal as part of the Summer promo details. Free refreshers on 7/13 and sampling days on 7/14-15. I requested that Friday off today :)
Posted 11 months ago # -
My store portal on a NYC store desktop doesn't mention the refreshers.
Posted 11 months ago # -
It was part of the overall Summer promo news item, I'll see if I can look up the title next time I work.
Also, I was looking for the 'Now playing' and track selection thing at the bottom of the welcome page on the portal but I couldn't find it. I wonder if we have different versions of the portal for different markets? Although that wouldn't make sense.

Oh great...there is already this sh*tty 25th anniversary and Starsucks giving out tall coffee for like 25 cents....hopefully it won't be that bad...[finger crossed]
Posted 11 months ago # -
So I just saw the paper on the refreshers.
Its the same day, but from 12-3pm and it says a free TALL refresher. But I think even my manager said it was any size. So I'm not sure. Anyways I asked for it off just to be safe.Posted 11 months ago # -
I love all of you. I requested that day and the day after off. I just saw the update in the back room yesterday with the information that there was a free Refreshers thing on July 13, and on the 14-15 you can get free samples. I didn't want to be completely greedy and ask for the whole weekend off (I SHOULD HAVE) so I'll probably only have Fri-Sat off.
Thank you for this thread. You have saved my sanity...at least for those couple days <3

lol i read this right as it was posted and went into my store and asked my SM, she had no clue about the refreshers or the date, so the other day she saw it and was shocked to see that i know things before her, i laughed and walked out like a boss (:
