Most bizarre customer experiences? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Otter_Khaos
Two that come to mind, but I’ll first provide the most out there.
Dude comes in one afternoon, I’ve never seen him before. He is dressed like he’s been observing the people of earth for the past few decades. Dressed vaguely human, Bro is wearing sweatpants, a vividly designed american flag leather jacket, has station wrap around sunglasses, and a middle eastern men’s headdress. He asks me for the cup of coffee that costs two point zero seven and asks for a for hear mug. He then asks if refills still cost point five three.
Did I serve coffee to an alien?

Definitely. That should reflect well in your customer connection scores.

Customer connection scores must be above three zero point zero.

Guy comes in, regular, orders the same thing every time. Trenta water with 30 pumps simple syrup. Sits at the bar and stares at us while chugging his water, then leaves.
This happens like once a month or so. Very bizarre.

A customer ordered an iced latte with light milk so I asked him if he just wanted more ice but I don’t really think he understood the structure of a latte and said it was for his gf so I tried explaining it to him while we were in the middle of a rush. He got frustrated, called his gf and shoved the phone in my face to explain to her what I just explained to him. His gf was confused too which made the conversation super long and all the customers waiting in lobby were just giving me death stares. Safe to say, it was a bit odd and overwhelming

I have had a customer ask for a "One hundred and sixty pence (instead of saying £1.60) Filter coffee" before. Tbh allot customers seem to have no awareness that our drinks come in different sizes/prices (it confuses them greatly) , so I wasn't mad, and he was v polite. :)

Mine is when this guy said our pike was cold so he stuck his whole hand in the cup and stared and me and my shift, deadass. Another is when a guy said our old pike tastes like “crack house coffee”. Last is when this one guy had a full blown convo about recycling and Jesus when I was changing the trash cans. He also now lives behind our store in a sleeping bag apparently.

We have a guy we call the space Cowboy that comes to our store and spits out philosophy. He is a rare encounter for sure.
