Behind the Counter

RaJeanna and Dawn swap three "facts" each about coffee and attempt to parse out the fibs. No phone-a-friends, no lifelines, and minimal trash-talking.

In response to several surprising recent headlines about Starbucks, RaJeanna and Dawn reluctantly take a trip down memory lane and recount their time as partners (and apologies to anyone miffed that the title of the episode isn't "Me & the Siren;" but that's kinda anxiety-provoking, no?) The music used in the "Starbucks Dumpster Fire" news clip collage is "Let's Hang" by Laughing Manny and the Swinging Dicks, CC-by-NC.

Back in judge mode, RaJeanna and Dawn troll the Redditors in r/amithea**hole who have shared their coffee-related dilemmas. Our intro/outro music and AITA storytime music were created by Holizna: https://holiznaroyaltyfree.bandcamp.com/

RaJeanna and Dawn talk longevity in the coffee industry and get personal on job situations from the past so bad they had to “rage quit.”

A discussion of six specialty coffee cinematic universe topics and objects and whether they're overrated or underrated. This homage to Pitchfork's series is our last episode recorded sans microphones!Thanks to Prima Coffee for allowing us to use an audio snippet from their PUQ Press overview in this ep. Check out their video here.

Scooby Gang meetup at the Bonefish Grill, for this important conclusion on our discussion about tipping, service fees, and giving RaJeanna her money so she can do some important world travel.

Wether or not ewe have a strong opinion on tipping culture in the United States, thanks for listening. Apologies for the sound quality; Dawn recorded her portion at the bottom of the Potomac river.

The episode so chaotic we couldn’t bring ourselves to label it as episode 1.
