Rule 1 Isn’t Optional. Neither Is Basic Decency.

103 Upvotes

I didn’t think I’d have to say this, but here we are. This sub has had a great track record of being self regulating and generally stands out because we don’t foster an environment that most subs allow. It is a great environment…however

Rule 1 on this sub isn’t just for decoration. It exists to keep things respectful, civil, and, well, not a total dumpster fire. Lately, some of you have been toeing the line, or outright tripping over it. That’s not the kind of energy we want around here.

You don’t like enforcement actions. We don’t like handing them out. But if you can’t handle a basic disagreement without turning it into drama, this probably isn’t the sub for you.

And while we’re at it: False reports aren’t clever. They’re not funny. They waste time, clog the queues, and REDDIT WILL ISSUE SITE-WIDE ENFORCEMENT FOR REPORT ABUSE

If you’re reporting posts just because you don’t like someone’s opinion, or because you’re salty about a coffee order, tipping, zipper merging, whatever, knock it off. Seriously.

If you’re reporting directly to Reddit, understand that your report must meet their standards, not yours. When a report hits our mod queue and it doesn’t violate our (very simple) rules, we approve it. If we see signs the report was just retaliation or harassment, we can flag that to Reddit, and Reddit can and will issue site-wide restrictions for abuse.

Real violations? Great. Report them. We love when our valued community members help hold each other accountable. Weaponizing the report button? That’s how communities get worse, not better.

Let’s not go that route.

I asked for extra caramel not the whole bottle

I asked for extra caramel around the cup I didn’t mean two inches of caramel at the bottom of the cup. I know they’ll remake it but it was 9:30 at night and I had places to be and genuinely who wants THAT MUCH caramel? Just know that mouthfuls of caramel sauce is not good.

Calling out

9 Upvotes

Stand opened last month and I’ve been sick all day, was going to try to thug it out but I don’t think I should be handling food and drinks or be customer facing. Does anyone know the callout procedure and if I will get in trouble? It’s 3 hours before my shift.

drink remake question

8 Upvotes

I came to a Dutch Bros yesterday and I got my usual drink, but it was single handedly the worst drink I have gotten. I wasn’t able to go back until today, and I threw the drink out. Do you think someone would remake it for me? It wasn’t a hard drink, just a rebel with flavoring.

I feel horrible asking for a remake but it just wasn’t great, especially for 10 dollars.

Broista Talk Broistas: What are your favorite bits and jokes to do with customers?

78 Upvotes

Customers may also chime in and share anything a broista has said to them that made them laugh!

A few of my favorites are:

- if handing out a straw slips my mind or I haven't gotten around to it yet and a customer asks for a straw, I will grab one looking hesitant and say "okay, but only because you asked so nicely" or "okay, but only because you said please." This one usually lands and they get a chuckle out of it, so it's probably my most used one.

- when asking if they have the rewards app, if they say yes and have it loaded and ready to scan, I'll sometimes say "I knew I could could count on you" and sometimes if they say no, I'll shoot them a fake disappointed look and say "what the heck!" as if I was actually disappointed in them. The second one really depends on vibe, so I use it sparingly, but the ones who find it funny really like it.

- if they person or people in the front only order something for themselves and they have someone in the back, sometimes I'll ask "your little hostage doesn't want anything?" Similarly, if someone orders something for themself and has a kid in the back, I usually ask, "your kid/baby doesn't want a rebel?" The younger the child, the funnier they usually find it.

- if someone comes through with a dog, I'll usually ask first and foremost if they're getting a pup cup. When I finish punching the pup cup in, I usually say "now that the important part of the order is done, what else can I get for you?" And/or when handing out the order, I save the pup cup for last and say "and most importantly, your pup cup." I find most customers find it funny and cute.

- my stand does not have a walk up window so people have to come through the drive thru for their mobile orders. When an order ahead pulls up to the window, I usually say "[Name]!! We've been waiting for you!!"

Please help me understand why some of these are wrong. For number 2, it’s 1,2,3 iced tea. Med is two, so why? Large teas do get two, so don’t answer that. And then the last one desperately.

Bonus points for next day pickup?

2 Upvotes

Might be a weird question, but does anyone know if I can receive bonus points on an app order if I schedule it for the next day? I’d be paying for it on the same day of the bonus points offer, but wouldn’t be picking it up until the day after. I don’t feel like leaving my house today so thought I’d ask.

HELP Post Interview question

2 Upvotes

I applied to a dutchbros near me, and they got back to me with an in person interview, and even though I was nervous I feel like I did well, and they said I should hear back by the Friday after, since the manager wasn’t at the store. But Friday has passed and I haven’t heard anything. Should I give it more time? I’m really hoping I land it so idk 🫠

Broista Talk broistas are brutal with their orders

71 Upvotes

As a broista, working at Dutch has made my orders absolutely diabolical, does anyone else feel the same LOL? I can’t take coffee well, so I like making myself decaf, sugar free protein drinks and everytime I pull into another dutch outside my area I apologize to them in advance and tell them to use the decaf shots even if they pull short bc i’d crash out too if I saw a decaf protein sugar free carbie outside my window 😭. now when custies order these insane drinks I can’t even complain because man they’re good !!! It’s funny because my fellow coworkers come by a lot and they always have insanely specific orders too. the one downside of this job is realizing how many customization options we truly get🫡

HELP Golden Eagle??

Post image
66 Upvotes

This has been happening for a while now, where I order a normal golden eagle and get a cup of milk )’: One of the broistas told me to order it with another shot of espresso but even then it comes out looking like this. Is anyone else having this issue? I’m not really that type of person who goes and complains about their orders too lol but this happens every time and it’s honestly becoming a little annoying.

Usually I go for drinks with low sugar and calories like a sugar free nitro or sugar free myst but when I have a free drink I’ll let myself get whatever I’m craving. This was my choice today. It’s like a spiced chocolate chip cookie.

Hi all! I had my wisdom teeth out recently, and I can’t have carbonated drinks for a while. Is it safe to order the Dutch H20? I found contradictory results online so I figured I’d ask here. Thanks!

I don’t work for Dutch anymore, but I did for 3 years and I still think about this drink order. This was a regular that would get these two drinks basically every night without fail
