The calm before the storm: One of my go-to drinks for night shift - La Colombe draft latte (12AM-9AM, earlier/later)

Love La Colombe coffee for their shops (a few times in Manhattan I go but they’re based in Philadelphia), but like a lot of things they’re nowhere near my job site. We do sell them at vending machines at my job but it’s… $4 a can. We do sell them to customers but less than $3 a can. At least I kicked the energy drink habit I had?

They were having a membership sale so I picked up a few on discount and have a reoccurring subscription to get them delivered once a month.

However once a while I do buy Starbucks for delivery to work (also nowhere near my job site) and it’s expensive. Only ordered Dunkin’ once in my two years at work last month for delivery… never again.

(My other job/business is doing photography.)

TBD on doing phone orders, no delivery orders until next week, no reservations until next week (new). For now, only dine-in or take out.

I’m at a Fresh FC in NYC, but we’re in the process of transitioning to a SSD (TBD when that’ll be done), fortunately that won’t require us to close. However one thing on my mind and maybe one of the top three reasons I won’t properly transfer to full time (I’m Flex, but work full time hours): my site does **not** have a night shift differential for working nights to early morning. So all associates earn the same thing: $20.20/hr starting out, up to $23.20/hr for 3 year step plan. Only a few associates do pull in overtime or work more but they’re typically helping out nights, cross trained in specific roles (dispatch, dock hero/inbound, so on) so they can work 12x5 schedules if they’re up to it, and business needs warrant it.

I myself don’t mind night shift, most of my work day (typically 12AM-9AM, sometimes 7PM-10PM weekends in the mix) is working with that team or seeing the same associates. Working nights does present its own challenges, the biggest one being your health/circadian rhythm (sleep schedule). Then comes burnout or fatigue from an associate or managers POV. Some of my ASMs do split shifts: two days nights, two days on day shift. Others (inc. work friends) just stop showing up or quit, or get terminated/transferred to day shift or another site.

My site hasn’t paid out premium/surge pay ($2/hr) since around the end of February. Perhaps it can be a nice incentive if night associates (+ hourly ASMs) can be paid more for working nights and putting their health and lives aside for up to 10-12 hours, 4-6 (or so) days a week.
