I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY FOR NON DAIRY RANT (if you wanna skip to the summary, scroll down.) (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by kaytlynnpolonis
So today I worked a short closing shift as usual since this is my second job, and I hate being put on drive thru, but I just deal with it. I only hate it for a specific reason. CUSTOMERS ARE WORSE IN THE DRIVE THRU. FIGHT ME. I had a lady tonight come thru and order a venti mocha cookie crumble Frappuccino made with almond milk. After I said her total of like $7 something she grumbled and drove forward. I finished making her Frappuccino and as I leaned forward she asked to talk to my coworker. He came over and she started asking him why she was being charged for the almond milk. After trying to explain it to her multiple times on how we always charge for non dairy, she continues to argue with us. As she is, I have four cars lining up behind her. She tries arguing that it’s not 4oz like the rules say and that she shouldn’t have to be charged for nondairy when she can’t have dairy. I let her know that this is how we are trained that the best I could do would be to give her my managers card. As she’s trying to win her case she also throws in there that she normally doesn’t get a venti. Like hoe, I don’t care. My ASM finally came over to chat with her, and was even kind enough to offer to let her go without paying, but she REFUSED and just asked us to take of the charge for the almond milk.before driving off told us again for the 80th time to check our rule book. The best part about all of this??? MRS. I can’t have dairy, got whip cream on both the bottom and the top of her stupid Frappuccino. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Summary: lady in drive through complains about having to pay for non dairy and says she can’t have regular dairy. Says we should check our rules, and continues to get whip cream on her Frappuccino all while holding up a line of 4 cars.

Yo I got a lady kinda like this, except she asked for no whip and I accidentally put some on. She literally screamed at me through the window “NO WHIP” and I was just like ‘damn I’m sorry Jesus’
She held up the drive thru while I was taking other orders, and when I came back over to see why tf she wasn’t leaving, she yelled at me, and I quote: “NEXT TIME DON’T JUST SCOOP IT OFF, I HAVE A DAIRY ALLERGY.”

She ordered a Mocha Frap with Whole Milk and no whip .-.

I wish I knew. This was back when I was still considered a Green Bean so my face was literally like the Surprise Pikachu meme.

And then I was informed by my coworkers that this lady does this often to try and scam for free drinks. 🙃

Customers are ABSOLUTELY worse in drive thru. In my experience at my store, the customers who come in drive get more drinks than those in the cafe and are super picky about them, handing them back, complaining, asking why it cost so much, adding drinks at the window, etc. often times in my drive thru people will be so difficult that I will see 3-4 cafe customers in and out before one freaking car will leave. I thought it was just my store

NAHHH B. It’s my store too. I see the same thing! It’s stupid. Speaking of ordering more at the window. The guy behind her ordered a Grande Pike, black. Then came to window and after I handed it to him, asked for a straw. Then after that was like “can I get some artificial sweetener?” THEN asked for an ice water. Like EFFF off bro. 😂😂😂
