In a viral video, a Dutch Bros. employee poked fun at his co-workers who were dealing with an influx of orders just as he clocked out.
“Me clocking out of my shift at dutch bros right when fill a tray starts and we’re 50 orders deep,” the text overlay on the video reads.
A “Fill-a-Tray Day” at the coffee shop chain is a promotion during which guests can fill a drink tray that holds four drinks, with any four medium drinks for $15, according to a local news outlet.
In the TikTok, Ajay is seen smiling into the camera as his co-workers are all busy working around him. There appear to be at least five people working the drink rush.
At the end of the clip, Ajay has clocked out along with a co-worker who smiles uncomfortably at the camera while he gives her a thumbs-up.

In addition to traditional coffee drinks that have unique names like Annihilator and Double Torture, the chain also sells their own energy drink called the Dutch Bros Rebel. The energy drinks come in a variety of flavors and combinations, including peach, lime and blue raspberry, and blackberry pomegranate.
