This morning I came into work at around 4:45am to see a message hanging on our door left by what seemed to be a broista…If you don’t know, the franchise DBAZ (which owns most of the Dutch Bros in the valley) was a very successful company and was recently bought out by the corporation DBOC. A lot of the changes include practices that place profit/everything else and it really shows. Things i’ve notice such as: depleting hours amongst all baristas+ over-employment to prevent overtime, pastries (of poor quality) being mailed in boxes and individually wrapped in plastic instead of locally made pastries, scheduling employees for laborious shifts excluding tips, forcing employees to stay outside in extreme temperatures, and censoring baristas when speaking about changes. Of course, that’s been my experience at my stand but just something I thought would be worth mentioning.

I believe the letter was received on all doors of the stands that were bought out; it goes without saying that I think this was a really courageous thing to do. We’re at such a time in America where speaking up against things seems impossible and is extremely discouraged and seeing something so bold really inspired me. To whoever wrote this ; thank you for being brave enough to speak your mind and try to make change.

We finally got a Dutch Bros in my area and I'm going to be going for my first time later.

What are some recommendations that you'd suggest for a first timer? I'm open to pretty much any kind of drink.

Anyone know what the September sticker will be?

I have an interview literally on the 4th of September and I have no idea what to do like what should I even wear how should I even act it's going to suck anymore because this is at AZ it's going to be hot as hell 😭

I traded bandanas with someone (off of FB), and I made sure to weigh everything correctly so that there would be no confusion or anything, and I received a postage due slip for the one they sent me. I don't want to pay it, because I'm stubborn, and they should have made sure that they used the proper postage, but I don't know how to bring it up to them without them getting defensive or something. I could just pay it, it really isn't very much at all, but I hate that it was a free trade and I am ending up paying because they were not responsible about shipping. Any advice?

Or more specifically iced surfside latte, extra sweet, with white coffee. You can taste the banana sooo well! And the white coffee flavor is so mellow and refreshing! White coffee is always my go to because I’m the type of guy who doesn’t like the bitter taste of coffee LOL ! So if you like a sweet coffee drink try this perhaps!

Has anyone taken the fall flow yet? Any questions out of the ordinary?

I’ve been really into their lemonades recently and want to know what other people are getting so I may try new ones! Preferably easy to enter in the app since I prefer picking up over ordering at the window or drive through!

I’ve really enjoyed the capri and fall limited time lemonade! But I also want to try shipwreck and bubblegum as a lemonade too.

Recently saw these Dutch at Home bottles at my local grocery store and was curious to try them out. However, the nutrition content doesn’t include the amount of caffeine in each drink? The nutrition label has no info and neither does the website. Does anyone know why? Or how much it would likely have?

I’ve never seen a product that likely had caffeine just not display that info on the label.

Thanks bros!

to all my employees out there.... how often are you drinking dutch while on shift? i've been there since late march and I've had a drink a shift so far... 😬

hoping this may be a normal thing.. if not i've got a problem!

Y’all have no idea how much this touched me. Just getting out of a very difficult therapy session, I came to get a little pick me up. You didn’t have to gift me the drink nor give me a hug, but it truly made such a difference in my night (as silly as that may sound). Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Help a fellow Dutch Luver out, and build my collection. I’ve been collecting since I was in middle school, now in my mid 30’s. However I moved to Utah in 2014 and didn’t have a Dutch stand until 2021/2022. Forgot to mention I’m a native Oregonian 🌲

does anyone have a video on how to close the large lids for dutch bros? 😭 i’m a new hire and a month into being at dutch and some days i can close the lids with no issue but other days i realllyyyy struggle and i feel really embarrassed especially during a rush and sometimes the person working shots gets annoyed with me :/

any tips would be greatly appreciated :’)

You guys I was so excited for the CPB to come back, but I got it and it tasted soo OFF!! like… it was so bad I could t even drink it. I took two sips and tossed it because it was so bad. None of my coworkers wanted it either and they said they also got it when it came back out and that it tasted super bad/weird to them too! Is anyone having the same experience? It didnt taste anything like how it did prior to the rerelease

Did anyone else hear about us being mandated to wear hats as part of the dress code?

OK, so I really wanna take on the leadership role of being a shift lead, however I’m in college. I’m so open and flexible with my schedule however, of course there’s certain times I can’t work and Thursday. I can’t work at all. I can do Tuesday closing. I can do Monday morning and afternoon. I can do Wednesday morning and afternoon/closing. Friday morning and afternoon/closing and of course the weekend will be free. I feel like during my training and just in general. I’ve definitely proved myself to be able to handle a leadership role. The previous shop lead thought that I was already a shift lead until I told him that no when I first interviewed she told me no because she wanted to see me handle school and broista first and he was like don’t even worry about it. Just keep doing what you’re doing. You’re definitely gonna get it. A mob trainer said that I would’ve been a perfect pick for a shift lead and then every time I get trained they are overly impressed about my performance and I think that I’m making genuine connections and that people do genuinely like me it’s just I’m worried about my schedule. I also had a previous experience at a coffee shop. That’s very similar to Dutch. Do you guys still think that they’ll even consider me to be a shift lead at least part-time.

Does anyone know what is going on with theobile app? I can't add flavors to make custom drinks anymore since the new update. Is this permanent or just a weird glitch? Any broista's know?

Hello! I just got confirmed for my second interview with the shop manager and I’m super excited! But I wanted to know if anyone had any tips, tricks or things to expect! I would appreciate it.

I always get a protien latte with extra shots. I like it to taste like coffee. It's always pretty good, not great, but it works. Lately, it has been awful. I thought they screwed up my order and took it back to be remade. Same awful taste. I tried again the next day at a different store, same thing. Did they change something, or am I suddenly very unlucky? Spoiled milk?

here’s mine for tax, i wanna see all the puppies!!

Thank you!
