Sometimes it adjusts for the new fiscal year. There was a weekly update saying to check it for MLK day and throughout February.

 

[Asuras]

Saw that and must have assumed it was talking about MLK like it does for every holiday. Didn't realize it was going to totally change. Never has in the 2 years I've been in role.

 

[Yetive]

Mine changed a couple of times.

 

[Asuras]

Outside of holidays? Mine did for holidays and suchs but never permanently. Either away, I guess I'll be changing my weekly routines.

 

[Xanatos]

Every February there is a chance of a permanent change. Most years it doesn't. But I think that's when they evaluate the routes.

 

[kimimpossible]

I might have missed the message but did you guys order arrival change? My normally arrives Mondays and order due Tuesdays. I just noticed my next order and all orders in February is now moved to Fridays (order due date too).

This happen to me last year. We would order on Tuesday and get a deliver on Friday, which I loved because I got my order before the weekend. It changed to order Tuesday and deliver on Monday. I haven’t seen any permanent changes since last year.

Did you guys get like a giant roll of green stickers? What is it for?

They are supposed to be replacing the warm and toast stickers with a green sticker. They were supposed to come in the last sign kit but didn’t. If it is not the old green bag stickers they were talking about, then it is the new warming stickers.

have you tried it yet? I’ll breaking down my pallet tomarrow, can’t wait to try it!

Not yet...wanna try it in hot tea though

I immediately got the cloud powder out and made a sample of the iced one. Regular, not cinnamon. It was pretty bad. I don't really know if the cloud powder does that much, except for the fact that the foam is lighter than the espresso, so it became a true upside down macchiato where the espresso was all at the bottom (even though it's poured on top). There was a clear divide between the espresso at the bottom and the foam above it. It ends up being part sweet foam and part straight espresso, not mixed at all. It was better hot because hot macchiatos mix on their own and pretty much are just vanilla lattes with CR - seriously, try making a hot one in either the training tumbler (which is on the order guide now!) or an iced cup; it mixes on its own almost as much as a vanilla latte.

I'll probably wait to get the cinnamon lemon syrup out next week to make sure it doesn't expire before we even launch it. The powder only fills half of an inclusion container, so we'll easily go through a bag just with training.

 

[redeye58]

Street-dated tumbler?!

 

[Asuras]

There was a recall, my DM emailed me about it. Email LSR for a refund, discard cups. Message just says its not to standard and not a heath issue or hazard issue.

 

[Planosss]

Anyone still got cinnamon shortbread?

 

[Xanatos]

Barely. But it sounds like the DC is out. On a related note, I've ordered strawberry infusion 3 weeks in a row with no luck. I told my team the new strawberry frap recipe for when we run out Monday.

 

[Glamoure]

What is the new recipe?

 

[Xanatos]

STP to bottom ridge, whole milk to lower line, into blender pitcher, 1-2-2 classic, ice, base, blend, then STP to lower ridge again, pour the frap into the cup, add whip. Seems slightly easier to make.

 

[very salty mocha]

Never understood why we used the infusion. Wasted so much purée since its barely used in the old recipe but now we go through and not waste any

 

[RistrettoShots]

These are our windows right now....from guest service all the way to Starbucks the windows are covered from top to bottom on the outside with fruit flies. There are hundreds. Not drain flies, not house flies, fruit flies...uhg.
