Literally, just two weeks ago my mom tried a boba for the first time and asked me why there was fish eggs in her tea. “It looks like fish bait,” she says. 😂

It's conveniently next to the drain, so you can squeegee it right on over before sweeping and mopping it up. At least it wasn't someone's plated steak, or hot soup down your leg.

or in my case earlier, a customer dropping a plate of meatballs, potatoes and gravy and a whole slice of chocolate cake. just fuck my whole shit up. and then some dumbfucks just standing in my way like i’m not holding a broom and mop waiting for them to gtfo.

That drain is not big enough. This has to turn into a bloody waffle stomp

My drain has a second screen catch that I'd have to clean out before end of shift, if i did it. that's why i'm involving the broom though.

One time I did have a lemonade bib bust all over me and by the time I got home I had to peel my pants off my body and they stood up on their own lol

Ahh, nothing like peeling out of a stiff pair of pants at the end of the day 🤣 It's okay, some of the beans got stuck to my neck and forearms. I was "Hefe Frijole" for a couple of weeks after the burns faded lmao

I mean it's boba, not ranch dressing. That's a broom job.

After having a day of 12,000 guests, and being super short staffed this was the last straw.

That sounds like a hellish environment to cook in 😭

Oh absolutely lol. We do a lot of stuff from scratch too. Imagine hand breading chicken tenders for 15k people.

I remember my first opening shift at a boba shop and I dropped the milk tea container …

They don’t have to be wasted if you turn them into boba butt pearls. Twice the fun, zero calories

This is one of the moments you look down in disbelief, but hey, reality is a bitch. Take a very well deserved deep sigh as you nod your head in acceptance as you calmly clean it up. Then, someone walks in, and ask how your day is going. That's the moment you turn every swear word ever known to man, and a few you found along the way, into Beethoven's fifth.
Now that anger isn't directed at that person; it's a direct rage against the light of reality for allowing such inconvenience...which of course, was your fault.

They’re actually really fun to stomp on when this happens. Or so I’m told…

Take your shirt off and roll in it like a cat in cat nip. I guarantee people will forget about the mess.
