#i turnd off all my lights and im hiding out of sight lmao. just in case.

OK I'm home now which means I can go into the Hell that was this shift.

For starters, this was our sales for the day (taken about 5 ish pm)

Blue is today, grey is last Saturday. Note the giant bars at 12 and 4. Two fucking Crazy rushes that kicked my ASS. & last week wasn't slow! They were complaining about rushes when I went in to close. Which Really displays how awful it was today.

And then Things That Went Wrong in the order I remember them:

Absolutely blazed thru our brown sugar boba. I made two pots & one was Gone within an hour (for reference: on the average weekday, we can generally make it on two pots Total for the whole day.) So we had to rush to make more boba. And Again at 4 when they just Instantly cleared us out.

We were out of a lot of things, which made everything harder. No oat milk, no strawberry, no creme brulee. Ugh.

I literally set some creme brulee powder on fire bc I spilled some while making creme brulee. See reference:

It was dying down here but at its tallest it was like twice this size lol.

I tried making cookies when it was slow. I did a Dogshit job (though I baked the scraps so we got some cookies to snack on ❤ this one actually isn't that bad, more frustrating in the moment)

I nearly got MURDERED by one of the big tea dispensers. I put it on the shelf, then it started falling forward (towards me). Employee standing next to me saw & jumped to catch it (saving my life in the process. I swear she was like superman), so I didn't get hurt, but it still did slosh on me so I got milk tea All over my shirt and arms.

One of the employees accidentally knocked over a bottle of rinse additive for the dishwasher & I was the first to react to pick it up so we wouldn't lose too much chemicals. Except I reached by hooking my foot under the mouth of it to push it up. Which worked! Except I got chemicals in the toe of my shoe. And bright idea me decided to rinse it off with the floor soap water. So then my toes were WET... Miserable.

Glass breaking mentioned in last post was an entire fucking display case falling over & some glass jars breaking. I came out to find an employee sadly sweeping up the glass & helped her put it in an empty creamer can for safety's sake.

We ran out of green tea at one point bc of all the confusion so we had to go without that for a bit as we brewed more lmao.

The 12 rush was just me and opening employee and that SUCKED. The 4 rush we thankfully had a lot more ppl around (5 at that point, including me) & it was an All Hands On Deck kind of situation. That's the rush where I was continuously looking at the massive line of drinks and cursing, "Jesus." I took over making drinks bc im by far the most experienced drink maker, but Man. I started boba as soon as I saw this happening but we still ran out of brown sugar Bad. It was awful.

Aaaand other than that there was a wide assortment of messes and drink mess ups. One order we messed up Three Times & I ended up just giving them a sorry card lmfao. They were nice about it at least.

There's probably more but I'm forgetting it. This is already a Hefty fucking list lmfao.
