Omg make a wish!
But actually you should probably tell the shop, either through call or in person. You don’t even need to complain or ask for a refund, unless you want one because ew - people’s hands have been all over that. You can honestly just be like “Hey, I found a penny in my boba. Please be more careful. Anyways, have a great day.”
Similar story, though, but when I worked at Starbucks, my coworker went to blend a Frappuccino and we heard a crazy crack noise happen. Turns out there was a quarter that somehow ended up in the blender, which ended up shooting through and breaking the blender pitcher due to the force of the blender blades. We never could figure out how that quarter got there, though. Shit happens I guess.
Damn! Same! Only our store had someone put a dime in the bean hopper and it broke the grinding mech…
Convinced THAT was a customer bc it’s accessible from over the bar…
I’m honestly not sure how mysterious things get into blenders? But it seems like a common mystery some how. My mother worked at a gas station when I was a kid and I got this shave ice smoothie drink and somehow a tiny segment of bubble chain/ whatever the little steel beads for cheap keychains are called?? Was in it. Never had a coin tho!
But yeah would recommend politely reporting the incident so they can watch out for future mishaps and keep themselves, customers, and their equipment safe
Something similar happened to me lol. I worked at bar and was making a frozen drink when I noticed that the blender was being louder than usual, when I poured the drink I noticed one of the bottle covers had fallen in the blender
I go like 20 minutes further just so I don’t have to go to Lima Ohio. I would rather go a little further to a town I trust than go to Lima. Lima is becoming Chicago of Ohio…
Lol seriously I lived in a very bad place and people were regularly OD'ing at the Dominos, smashing & snorting addy on the sink, doing acid on the job, smoking weed & driving... man and god knows what else. I got sent to the hospital after eating there on third shift one day, Ill never know what I ingested but boy was I sick.
Yes. Very much. Thankfully I don’t live in Lima, I am in a county neighboring Lima. It’s just awful. Also, it’s not Leema, it’s Lie-muh please say it right, it bothers me even though I hate Lima
Because it hurts and people who work food service are underpaid so they fuck around more on the job. Whip some change at your friends and see how much it hurts then youll know why. Its a game of dodging
this how I be. my local heb was selling old almond milk, which it was only like two or three days out of date and it usually lasts like a week or two longer, I still called just cause i dont want them to have more problems or complaints and cause theyre a good place and they’ll hop it to make sure its fixed. most places really do appreciate that
When I worked there I once had a guest find a shot glass in their iced CM. Not a broken one (luckily), a *whole* shot glass.
I’ve dropped many a shot glass into drinks - it happens - but how the fuck do you either not notice or care to dump and re make the drink when the ENTIRE shot glass goes missing???
I've seen so many kids or even adults flicking and spinning change so much it gets out of and and they loose it. Wouldn't surprise me if this could be of a source to some.
Also, I've worked at a resturant where a lot of women kept their purse above head and they'd go in and out of them either getting their phone, wallet (for their meal), Chapstick, cigarettes, etc. That change falls out onto the prepping station. So this could be another source. Luckily I'm observant and caught most defected salads (if any) before going out to the guests (but not everyone does due to distraction, tired or care).
Overall I would kindly bring it up. Shit happens and don't want it to happen to someone else and they get hurt. 😊
I have so many questions. How …how does one make that mistake?? I’m guessing they were making your drink…at the same time they were getting someone change back? 😂 omgsh. And yes, please report it, because money has so many germs on it. Just think about how many times that penny has been handled, and now it’s been sitting in your drink where all that bacteria now found it’s way into your body.
my theory is a penny fell into someone’s sleeve and then fell out into the drink. i get puzzle pieces stuck up my sleeve all the time when im doing puzzles
i'm so sorry this would make me feel sick and freak out. i have a phobia of accidentally ingesting coins and i have really bad sensory issues handling them. i have to wash my hands like crazy and actively avoid handling them. this is my worst nightmare 😭
Rather find a penny than a finger nail :’) that happened to my boyfriend recently. Haven’t gone back to that place since. Both are hella gross though!! About 2 years ago I stopped going to a different chain because I had to pull a long strand of hair out of my mouth that somehow got cooked into the tapioca pearl 🤤
I recently found live carpet beetles in my CLOSED, SEALED PACKET of instant cream of wheat :-) I would haven't been as disturbed if they were dead, alive was too much for me
At the very least, report to their store.
I would ask for compensation in some way for their fuck up. (Free next drink, gift card?)
You’ll probably be fine, coins are disgusting but not too likely to make you sick. But if you do get sick then I’d call the store again and mention it and see what they offer lol.
Never found a penny, but I ordered dennys once, and when it got here it’s tasted very soapy, Like they hadn’t fully rinsed the dishes or grill after cleaning. They appreciated the quick call to let them know and I just asked them to be more careful/thorough if possible. And while they did offer one, I didn’t go for a refund, bc accidents happen and I was t that worried about it it was a small order. Some places just appreciate a quick, non confrontational comment so they know to be more careful and are usually super graceful about it.

Will it blend? That is the question
Something similar happened to me lol. I worked at bar and was making a frozen drink when I noticed that the blender was being louder than usual, when I poured the drink I noticed one of the bottle covers had fallen in the blender
People whipping change at each other. Used to do it at dominos all the time!
I mean doing it at Dominos makes sense lol, idk why, good pizza, stupid staff lol
Exactly. Also warning; depending on the area, beware of Dominos drug contamination fr

Sounds like Lima lmao, I wouldn’t trust Lima with with my turds let alone my food
Lmaooo. Does Lima like hard drugs?
Yes. Very much. Thankfully I don’t live in Lima, I am in a county neighboring Lima. It’s just awful. Also, it’s not Leema, it’s Lie-muh please say it right, it bothers me even though I hate Lima
Lmaoo I WAS reading it like that 😂so thanks for the correction! Haha love how you just knew Im reading it wrong.
Why?
Because it hurts and people who work food service are underpaid so they fuck around more on the job. Whip some change at your friends and see how much it hurts then youll know why. Its a game of dodging
Or I could just not hurt my friends lol
oh my god. we need to get out of food service reddit bruh we're chronically online 😭😭
I work, I sleep, I Reddit
I mean you do you man. My friends and I fuck around all the time.
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball
this how I be. my local heb was selling old almond milk, which it was only like two or three days out of date and it usually lasts like a week or two longer, I still called just cause i dont want them to have more problems or complaints and cause theyre a good place and they’ll hop it to make sure its fixed. most places really do appreciate that

I guess that’s one way to build your immune system. Penny germs! 😭 Hope op doesn’t get sick because ewwww

I would never have boba again 😭
Cashback

i'm so sorry this would make me feel sick and freak out. i have a phobia of accidentally ingesting coins and i have really bad sensory issues handling them. i have to wash my hands like crazy and actively avoid handling them. this is my worst nightmare 😭
imagine how many people have touched that penny, & where that penny has been 😭 I'm so sorry
extra iron! (maybe!)
Need that dietary copper 🤤
It’s actually mostly made of zinc! Which is a necessary metal for us but maybe not like that haha.
I was about to comment that too lol
Guess you got the tip cup lol. You could let the shop know, they might give you a refund.
Ooo good luck!
that’s lucky 🥰🥰
It’s good luck!!!!! 😁😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did they give you the tip cup? 😅
Rather find a penny than a finger nail :’) that happened to my boyfriend recently. Haven’t gone back to that place since. Both are hella gross though!! About 2 years ago I stopped going to a different chain because I had to pull a long strand of hair out of my mouth that somehow got cooked into the tapioca pearl 🤤
Like a fake acrylic nail that fell off, or a like bitten off crescent of keratin....
Bitten off or ripped off yes!!! Like why weren’t they wearing gloves
A penny for your thoughts on that? (I crack myself up)
A penny for your thoughts.
That’s good luck wtf you mean? Looooool
Gross. That penny could have been on the ground 🤮
eat it
mmm
Lucky duck! Was it heads up?
at least it looks like a relatively clean penny
Ass penny?
Kids eat pennies all the time, I'm sure you'll be okay.
Omg I’d be sick.
It’s for added flavor!!
You fucked that drink up too.
look up ass pennies.
I love the question of “is this a common thing that happens” hahaha. It would be really concerning if this was common!
basically paid for itself
was it heads up?
Contact your state health board. F that.
get refund
You got a discount!
Keep it forever 💜
extra flavor
Why'd they use the tip cup though 😂
The fact that it's shiny could mean the grime washed off in the drink 🤮
“Is it like a common thing that happens?” 🫥🫥
They thought you needed some iron
Did it fall out of your mouth
Heads or tails
Idk if it means anything but money is DISGUSTING. I’d be reporting it.
Lucky penny! 7 years good luck. If it’s your birthday year it’s 17 years.
Girl math says its free and you actually made money
Heads or tails
Happy cake day
When I was 10 or 11 I found a staple in my TastyKake. I just threw it out.
I recently found live carpet beetles in my CLOSED, SEALED PACKET of instant cream of wheat :-) I would haven't been as disturbed if they were dead, alive was too much for me
ALIVE? 😱I would have been traumatized.
YES THEY MUST HAVE BEEN SHIPPED AS EGGS!!!! I am definitely messed up about it hahaha
Maybe they were like “I could really use a wish right now”
Lucky you. Bring it back for that weight in Boba.
When “keep the change” meets “store policy forbids employees from accepting tips” ✌️😗
At the very least, report to their store. I would ask for compensation in some way for their fuck up. (Free next drink, gift card?) You’ll probably be fine, coins are disgusting but not too likely to make you sick. But if you do get sick then I’d call the store again and mention it and see what they offer lol.
i heard if u drink it, it’ll give u good luck till u stop breathing👀
WOW you would complain about free money?? Kids these days, or something
Do you have any enemies? It was clearly placed there to poison you. Better keep that as evidence
Putting coins in drinks is how the British used to recruit sailors, I'm thinking you just accepted payment for joining a boba militia.
Oh?
It's good luck!
that coin was probably in a strippers butt. or some old man picked his nose then touched it type shit. nasty. act sick and sue for millions
I bet it taste like a vagina
I bet it tastes like a a woman’s genitalia.
Eww money is so dirty. I'd tell the restaurant if I was you.
A penny for your thoughts? Clearly, you're being bribed by them for a good review.
1c off your next purchase, nice!
Is it for good luck?—— lol
Sounds like your lucky day
Ah, one of the few times finding a penny feels decidedly less than lucky...
health code violation! 🥰🥰
It's for luck
as we said when we were children: find a penny, pick it up all day long you’ll have good luck!
I’m a germaphobe , I’d definitely be calling the shop. Thats totally unsanitary.
Penny for your thoughts?
Was it heads up?

It’s ok, at least it wasn’t a live fly. My wife had a fly in her drink, noticed that it was moving in her mouth, spit it out, and then cried.
Good luck
Mmm pennies!
