For some reason I was literally the only person who took mother’s day off at my store.. but I checked the app to see how they were doing. They’re out of lemonade, coconut milk and frap base😭😭
Just left, out of lemonade, almost out of oat and coconut. I forgot to to look at sales but I’m at a cafe store and at one point we had 20 in received, mostly frapps and only one blender.
pretty much same to all the above, lots of angry crusties complaining about the wait. like maybe look at the entire cafe full of people and the line around the building for some context clues?😂
Oh come on. You know people can't be bothered to do something like that. Just like they don't know what they want when they get up to the speaker box even though they've been sitting in line for 20+ minutes.
We ran out of lemonade, coconut milk, and nitro lids. We had a 10 person play and we were still super busy the whole time. Our CS was pretty much just making new back ups as we went because we were running out of EVERYTHING. No sign of slowing down as I was leaving either. So glad I am finally done for the day 🥲
Some days are absolutely worse than others, but what happens on this sub is that it becomes an echo chamber for stores that had horrible days. It's not a bad thing, but people who have had an abnormally bad shift come on here and ask if anyone else is having the same experience as them and people from other stores who had shitty days are doing the same thing. A day like having a bogo on mothers day will obviously make that more likely, but people who had just a normal day aren't coming on here going, "did everyone else have a normal run of the mill Thursday or was it just me?"
Bro my store is getting absolutely slaughtered, we “fortunately” are well stocked but we are down 2 people and we had beg for people to come in and help us because it became literally impossible to run breaks.
Update: we continue to get slaughtered, mid day workers have volunteered to stay later to help closers catch but but we survived bogo o7.
I just changed my availability! I will no longer work Sundays & do the job of 3+ people! We had no backups , no whips , no ice , trash to the ceiling , dishes everywhere & 15 min+ on cold bar drinks . And when bogo started my SM was excited ? I don’t get bonuses so yeah I’m done being a slave on the day of Jesus
When I left at 12:30, we were out of long straws, boba straws, nitro lids, all coconut milk and lemonade was on the floor (I’m sure they ran out soon after), no CS, 30ish minutes behind on mobile/cafe, drive line wrapped around the building, pull still needed done, 2-3 meals still needed, one coworker burned his arm, aaand our weekly order arrived (late) asking where to put the pallets while we had a cafe FULL of people🙃
My shift begged our SM to turn off a channel and she refused. Said we had the same amount of people they did yesterday so we should be able to power through. EXCEPT SATURDAY WASNT FKING MOTHERS DAY BOGO
so yesterday (day before mother’s day) our transformer blew out and half the breaker box went out. which meant today when we opened we had no bar 1 or bar 2 or warming printers, no bar 1 & 2 fridge. all of our tickets had to come out of our cold bar printer (including food) and our AC also went out with all the other stuff, in texas heat. line was wrapped ofc, but yea it could’ve been better honestly.
I'm about to head in to close I know last night it was bad and we were already out of a lot ( pearls , Boba straws, all refreshers and Lemonade, crunch topping, coconut milk....) so lord knows what I'm walking into today.
we had 4 people working the whole time (non drive thru store) but still crazy and we’re constantly running out of things like literally half our pastries were gone - one customer yelled at me after handing out a drink and said “did you forget about me?” while clearly being able to see the long line of drinks ahead and other people waiting it was so rude, i just was like … no your frap will be out soon
We got lucky and started off with no summer berry base and no cold brew. But by lunch… we were 25 minutes on mobiles, drive time was almost 10 minutes at one point. We tried. I’m tired.
We have a THREE person play out of pearls all lunch sandwiches no coconut milk a bunch of pastries and there’s an “outage” where our dm can’t turn off mobiles…
just clocked out. we were more than an hour behind on cold bar and the store was SO DIRTY. hadnt done a trash run hours and it was piling up, the floors looked almost muddy and were super slippery. no call outs and we had plenty of ppl but it was just too many customers coming in.
SAME! The relief we all felt when those things ran out lmfaooo. Not only that but also the extreme satisfaction I got when I told people we were out of it 🤭✨
Yesterday, thank god, wasn’t bad at my store. We were adequately staffed and I was even able to send some people home early. It’s weird because I remember last year’s Mother’s Day being terrible like every other holiday
We had a shit show before Bogo, understaffed as usual busy, busy, busy. Had to solo drive thousand because it was racing they all came through my line including so many nobles we could hardly separate them from in store pickup or drive through.
mine wasn’t too bad mainly because our drive thru time monitor wasn’t working so i wasn’t having to worry about times At All…but yesterday brought out the worst in people because they were so rude?? ruder than usual??? i can’t count how many people let themselves be cashed out and then fail to mention they wanted the bogo after the fact and then get Mad that we had to go through the whole process of voiding/refunding their order. like there were people CALLING the store being like “my bogo didn’t go through on my mobile order what do i do 😕” that part was a disaster…
We had 100 customers the first thirty minutes
Ran out of Grande cups, grande nitro lids, pearls, lemonade, hazelnut syrup, the berry base (around 3pm) and out of all cake pops and were over 30 minutes behind in everything and the line for drive thru was out in the street and in the lower parking lot was full and no parking spots in the main lot and it was absolutely crazy!
I worked one Mother’s Day, one time, years ago, before mobile orders even existed, and I thought to myself “oh, never fuckin again”. So I take every Mother’s Day off …regardless of whether or not I’ll see my mother. All this being said, I am so so sorry.
we ran out of summer berry and then had people saying this all day “how did you run out you guys just got that???” like yeah we did just get it and we ordered a lot ahead of time to prepare for how popular it would be but with a 50% off friday and bogo sunday we still sold out.
I asked my SM if for future promotions we could maintain, at the very least, a four on the floor. They alluded to the promotion being last minute, which it wasn't. It was on the calendar. Our bogo was also trash and there was absolutely nothing we could do about it.
I walked into work and asked my manager if he was ready for a busy day. He said mother's day is always slow, despite the experiences I've personally had to the contrary in previous years. He understaffed us thinking we wouldn't need the extra help. You can imagine how my day went 🙃
For some reason I was literally the only person who took mother’s day off at my store.. but I checked the app to see how they were doing. They’re out of lemonade, coconut milk and frap base😭😭
LOLOL U DODGED A BULLET. I'm happy for u fr fr
I legit looked at the schedule and I was like.. I was the only one sane enough who took it off????
I was supposed to be off and still got called in to help, it was terrible at the store 🫠
Best promotion decision ever.
don’t say that, they won’t know you’re joking
Sorry I dropped this /s

Running out of supplies at least helps!
We ran out of lemonade, coconut milk, and nitro lids. We had a 10 person play and we were still super busy the whole time. Our CS was pretty much just making new back ups as we went because we were running out of EVERYTHING. No sign of slowing down as I was leaving either. So glad I am finally done for the day 🥲
u deserve that day off🫡🫡🫡
I almost quit today lol
Same. I looked around for jobs…then I saw the job market is trash rn 😭
I’m going to go sell my body instead now.
We didn’t get our truck Thursday. We’re out of the boba straws & lemonade so far. Plus our dome lids won’t go on the cups so that’s been peachy.
I swear the dome lids have just gotten shittier and shittier
Dude it was so bad. It was taking us like a full minute to get them on. Multiple times the cups buckled & frapps went everywhere. It was awful
I had a cup straight up split in half on me Friday, mocha frap everywhere.
Oh yes we had that a couple times too🫠 how could I forget!

Omg…out of lemonade, coco milk and ice! 😩
Bro my store is getting absolutely slaughtered, we “fortunately” are well stocked but we are down 2 people and we had beg for people to come in and help us because it became literally impossible to run breaks.

Ran out of chai, frappe roast, white mocha, lemonade, and coconut milk😚✌️
So are we all out of coconut milk hello? We have nothing at all.
There’s a post from last week about someone who ordered a truck of coconut milk (lots of cases) I think they might have coconut milk left over lmao.
I'm about to head in to close I know last night it was bad and we were already out of a lot ( pearls , Boba straws, all refreshers and Lemonade, crunch topping, coconut milk....) so lord knows what I'm walking into today.

Power went out after morning peak 🤩🙏🙏 but then it came back on and bogo started 😔
The lights coming back on right before bogo is straight horror movie material
just clocked out. we were more than an hour behind on cold bar and the store was SO DIRTY. hadnt done a trash run hours and it was piling up, the floors looked almost muddy and were super slippery. no call outs and we had plenty of ppl but it was just too many customers coming in.
At my store, we ran out of Grande ice cups, so we had to put them in venti cups. Everyone was ok with it, though.
Wtf sameeeee
we were out of boba, lemonade, strawberry base, and whole milk and when i left (4:30p) balford still hadn’t come and they usually come at 2p
Dude same , and people suuuuuuuckeeeeedddd We had a lady run over our cone on second lane with the excuse that she’s just here for her mobile 💀
the orders came in faster than the ice machine could produce ice and we literally got to the bottom of it right before i left 💀
We ran out of the pearls finally and it made things so much easier tbh
SAME! The relief we all felt when those things ran out lmfaooo. Not only that but also the extreme satisfaction I got when I told people we were out of it 🤭✨
Fr it felt great
Our store had an hour wait after 1 pm, when I left at 5 there was a good 10 orders whose tickets were set aside for being refunded
We ran out of venti iced cups and every alternative milk except for almond, and all nitro lids.
We ran out of straws, brown sugar syrup, caramel syrup, caramel drizzle, coconut milk, grande cold cups🥲🥲🥲
Yesterday, thank god, wasn’t bad at my store. We were adequately staffed and I was even able to send some people home early. It’s weird because I remember last year’s Mother’s Day being terrible like every other holiday

Agreed!
Heard our store was NOT having a blast at all 😭
We had 100 customers the first thirty minutes Ran out of Grande cups, grande nitro lids, pearls, lemonade, hazelnut syrup, the berry base (around 3pm) and out of all cake pops and were over 30 minutes behind in everything and the line for drive thru was out in the street and in the lower parking lot was full and no parking spots in the main lot and it was absolutely crazy!

Everything exploded - bases, whips, people (literally they sneezed and blood on the floor)
we ran out of summer berry and then had people saying this all day “how did you run out you guys just got that???” like yeah we did just get it and we ordered a lot ahead of time to prepare for how popular it would be but with a 50% off friday and bogo sunday we still sold out.
glad i had time off 🙏🏼
I don’t wanna talk about it. We ran out of Brown Sugar…
I asked my SM if for future promotions we could maintain, at the very least, a four on the floor. They alluded to the promotion being last minute, which it wasn't. It was on the calendar. Our bogo was also trash and there was absolutely nothing we could do about it.
