Don’t touch my cup, but make my drink. (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by vanillamilky
I work in a tarbucks and a lady came up to the counter and ordered a caramel ribbon s’mores Frappuccino. I asked if she wanted two separate drinks, but she insisted she wanted one. Which is fine. But I pointed out to her on our menu board that they weren’t the same. She finally settled for s’mores, but then the size game begins where I have to show her each individual cup with the price. She then points to the trenta cups, and I told her we can’t make fraps in those cups. She got pissy and asked for the size below, but she was convinced I guess that the two venti cups I was holding were different sizes, and made me pull three cups before telling me that she doesn’t want one that my hands have been all over.

I have to touch your cup to make the drink.

I’m so sorry! You poor thing! As I kept reading I felt worse and worse for you. Lol smh I’m sure you handled it well! Brush it off. That lady has bigger issues and she’s the one who’s gonna have it bite her in the ass one day. Not you. 🤗

I appreciate you so much! Thank you (: I know people just have bad days and take it out on others so I just held patience. Even though I was shaking the whole time haha. It’s hard in the kiosk too because you’re on your own, so if a customer complains you don’t have anyone there to back you up, you just sound crazy.

I can’t even imagine! I always make eye contact to my co workers and they know to move towards me if some person is being obnoxious. I am proud of you for doing it! I would be shaking too! I hope you have a better shift next time! I can’t believe this happened!

I used to work at Target as a GSA, this sounds like this one woman who came in and asked one of the grocery team members to grab a gatorade bottle off the top shelf for her. She proceeded to come to the service desk and ask for hand sanitizer and napkins to wipe off the bottle his ~grimy hands~ had been on. People enter a Target and go feral 🤷‍♀️
