Strangest Order you’ve ever heard thread(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by jbritholm
Today somebody ordered a strawberry açaí refresher, but with an added shot of espresso. I wanna know, what’s the strangest order you’ve ever heard? (Not to drinkshame, just some out of the ordinary customizations)

Grande mocha, no milk, sub APPLE JUICE. we made one for ourselves when they left and it was hella gross.
Worse than the americano with half lemonade. Tho that drink is a real thing another coffee shop offers so we may have not made it right.

I like to do matcha apple juice. All my team hates me for it but shit done slaps.

Sure, that's green tea and juice. I like matcha with so many things.

10 waters with whipped cream on top.
I hate unsupervised 11 year old boys🙃

I’d be fine with this because it seems pretty easy to make and I’m still learning the cold bar (I’m a very green bean)
karliseofdeath3 points4y ago
Its not that it was hard it was that it just took so long to do and the left a mess after

Coffee base matcha frap with mocha drizzle in the cup and on top, with whip. It was a 10 year old boy and he looked so excited...idk how he drank it but he sucked it down

I had someone ask me for a extra large Yep they said extra large Americano iced coffee Frappuccino with soy milk hot. The craziest part was it was an older woman in her 50s.

How did make that monstrosity?
SDaoudi7 points4y ago
I just had to explain to them that’s not a real thing they just said never mind I’ll just go to McDonald’s and get coffee there.

One time the barista taking orders decided to tell a customer I could totally make them a hot java chip frap right as a line started.

My weirdest was something similar. Venti berry hibiscus with two shots. I was worried she didn’t realize what she was doing so I let her know it was like a fruity juice and it wouldn’t pair well. No no, she insisted that she gets it all the time and it’s DELICIOUS. I tried it after she left and...it’s exactly as bad as you think it is

GROSS
Matcha iced latte, shot of espresso and raspberry / peppermint pumps. Like 5 each. I made extra to try it out of curiosity and that bitch had basically ordered a venti cough syrup on ice

I had a person who ordered a lemonade with shot of espresso. Curious, I made my self one and it was the most disgusting I've ever tried
kayelaine13 points4y ago
Ps why do people order ‘no foam / extra hot’ when it’s on the fucKING CORE CLOVER

Iced match latte with 14 scoops of matcha. It was just green sludge.

I’ve had a customer ask for an iced cocoa cloud but wanted it blended.

We have a customer who uses his rewards for the most bizarre drinks ever.. so many different syrups and toppings. I couldn’t even remember one if I tried to, but they are the most ungodly concoctions.
Weird drinks that I do remember:
Tall SiGTL with no LCS and 2 blonde affogato shots.
Grande strawberry creme Frappuccino with chai concentrate. (Haven’t tried this one, but could potentially be tasty.. maybe?)
And lastly, 10 espresso shots with 20 white mocha pumps in a venti cup with 2%.. and no, it is not a reward drink. This customer actually orders 2 of these regularly; I have watched her immediately start drinking them when she picks up her M/Os. It’s appalling.

half water, half STRAWBERRY PUREE shaken with ice and strawberry inclusions...it reeked of sickly sweet berries and sadness 🤢🤢
renaaria1 points4y ago
Trenta strawberry acai refresher, 10 pumps raspberry, 10 pumps classic, heavy whipping cream instead of water. Almost threw up making it 🤢🤢

Someone at my store recently ordered an espresso frap with 6 extra shots, light milk, 4 pumps chai, and extra ice and base. I made it with 4 extra pumps of the base and it looked so runny. The customer seemed to enjoy it though, so who am I to judge.
