Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Customer: “I want one of them caramel ribbon crunch things hot.” (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by vanillamilky
My soul left my body out of utter disgust. I calmly explained that ma’am, we can’t make a Frappuccino hot. “Guest” (r/tarbucks) proceeds to ask friend what she got the last time she came and her friend confirms it as the hot Frappuccino. Customer asks “so you don’t do that here?” I, again calmly, tell her that you can’t make a Frappuccino hot. It’s a blended drink. I offered her a caramel latte w the dark caramel sauce, whip, and crunchy pieces on top but no. That’s not good enough. And now I have a customer strike. Thanks Karen.

guaranteed someone made her the drink you offered and she just didn’t know it. they probably didn’t want to deal with this exact conversation.

it’s people that don’t explain that make baristas deal with these conversations it’s so tiring

while i get that side of it and do my best to explain these things, there are myriad of reasons why one wouldn’t be able to explain this as well, so i try to give our fellow partners the benefit of the doubt.

I got a customer strike for asking someone if they wanted something warmed up because it was “a stupid question” and “I sounded sarcastic”

Aren’t you not allowed to heat those up as it’s dangerous?

Welcome to the target Starbucks world.. If that’s a thing I was never told. They skimp hard on training and procedures at my location.
