when someone asks for 20 pumps of classic in a venti refresher and you just have to smile and pretend like that’s okay (i.redd.it)

Ewwwwwww -

I’m only a customer. I always ask for less shots because flavor is overbearing and it saves on calories... how can these ppl even drink this stuff. Are you ever like uhhhh, are you sure??

People don’t realize that they’re drinking deserts when they get specialty drinks from Starbucks.

No because we would get fired if we said stuff like that

Nothing beats 35CL in an iced tea, but with the long pump. Not the short one.
Kaywin 5 points 4y ago
My arteries and brain hurt just thinking about this. Oh my god.
pinkindigo [OP] 3 points 4y ago
😭 i seriously can’t even imagine what that tastes like!!
hoodiewithoutpockets 3 points 4y ago
It’s literally like an inch and a half of syrup. I can’t deal with her lol

“Can I get a grande caramel macchiato with Splenda”

“It already comes sweetened, did you still want Splenda in it?”

“Yeah I want 14 Splenda. Thanks.”

I had someone come in and order a Grande Strawberry Açaí with 12 pumps of classic. I was about to let her know that I can do that but the refreshers come already sweet, but then she hit me with “Oh and I have partner numbers” :(

Partners sometimes can be the worst

I had someone get 60 sfv in their trenta iced coffee a couple times.
Markedsoultheif 9 points 4y ago
At that point just give them the bottle and a straw
nomad23 1 points 4y ago
Basically! It took about half the bottle, and then she came up for a refill. Lol.
Markedsoultheif 1 points 4y ago
But it’s sugar free! That means it’s actually good for you /s

I appreciate your enthusiasm for sarcasm, but to become a master you mustn't use /s.

Guarantee you that person spent 3 days on the toilet regretting every single pump
dangerouspraline 1 points 4y ago
Even 1 pump of the SF flavors are sooo sweet because the maltodextrose they’re made with is higher on the glycemic index than sugar is. (Aka it’s sweeter than sugar.) I can barely handle the normal amount of pumps we put in an iced latte, I can’t imagine how sweet this is. Does it take the whole bottle to make this drink?
nomad23 1 points 4y ago
It was about half the bottle. Then she wanted it all blended 5x with almond milk and the extra poured into a separate trenta cup. She kept talking about how she was allergic to sugar and yet emptied the rest of the cinnamon shaker into her drinks and made a complete mess with some sugar packets.
myredbug 2 points 4y ago
people who complain about having “severe” food allergies and then eat the food anyways are the worst 🙄

The teens I work with are often worse than the customers. 15 LCS 15 classic and 13 raspberry in a venti iced tea lemonade. 🤢
focketeer 1 points 4y ago
Damn it, all you need in a tea lemonade is 1 cherry or 1 raspberry. That’s it!
StWyncent 7 points 4y ago
Got a Venti hot 25 pump white mocha before
tinycherrypie 3 points 4y ago
My stomach hurts just thinking of that what the actual fuck

That picture of Lisa Simpson staring at her plate and this picture have the same energy

We have one regular who comes in and gets 19 pumps of classic in his pike every single day. A good quarter of the cup is just syrup
Kaywin 3 points 4y ago
I’m new, one of the regulars at the store where I’m training gets 12 pumps of vanilla in their grande hot drink if I remember correctly. I can feel my *soul* cringing. Even before joining Starbucks team I would always ask for my drinks unsweetened. 12 pumps of any flavor syrup just seems like it would be nauseating to drink.

I Am brand new to this sub and I'm actually an imposter because I do not work at Starbucks but just like to read stuff. You guys have your own language. I don't even know what half the stuff means but it's fascinating to read!
iloveanimals90 2 points 4y ago
Customers are allowed on this sub
monandwes 1 points 4y ago
Thank you!
iloveanimals90 2 points 4y ago
Well I’m guessing it’s allowed! Lol

Tall iced chai 12 pumps almond milk
yunglacroix 2 points 4y ago
I have a regular that orders an iced chai with 20 pumps and always askes for extra once she gets her drink.

the most recent time she came in, she got her regular, and I decided to give her 25 pumps because I knew she’d ask for more anyways.

I gave her the drink.

she tasted it.

she asked for three more pumps.

:/
Ker972 1 points 4y ago
We have a customer at our store who gets 30 pumps in their SF Mocha.. at least it’s sugar free...?
SnazzyVow 1 points 4y ago
I know this isn’t syrup related but I sure hate opening 20 fucking packets of Splenda
ENFPGirl1985 1 points 4y ago
Agreed!! And then when a piece of packet falls in the drink. 😫
Avatar_Yung-Thug 1 points 4y ago
I once had a guy who got a venture chai latte with 18 pumps of chai, soy, no water. Literally one inch was left for the soy milk. Every day around 7am. And in average if not decent shape. Incredible.
kophiphi 1 points 4y ago
I had someone get a tall dark with 15 raw sugars on Sunday
