First Ridiculous Starbucks Order (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by PiscesPrincess31
So it’s only my second day, and I’ve already run into a classic “Karen”: blonde shoulder-length bob, tank top, jean shorts, WEDGE sandals, thick sunglasses that she wore IN the store, and burgundy nail polish that I assume coat her way more than it should have. So she walks up to the counter as I’m training in drive-thru, and she loudly orders “I would like an iced macchiato, upside-down, with exactly 10 ice cubes.” The barista working front asked, “Exactly... 10 ice cubes?” and she said “Yes, and I will watch you put every single cube in my drink to make sure you get it right.”

Y’all, I wish I was making this shit up. She legit stood over the counter, peering down at my coworker while he took a pair of little tongs and placed 10 ice cubes in this ladies macchiato. We joked about it afterwards, but god, if this is my second day, I can’t wait to see what other bullshit comes my way.

That's the best part about our job. We don't have to make this shit up.

Seriously! Had a lady come through drive and asked for a berry hibiscus with exactly one berry.

We have a lady that asks for that at my store too.

I just had this the other day?! Where is the source of this coming from?! Facebook post?

I asked her out of pure curiosity and she said she doesn’t like all the mini chunks that occur when they get shaken and broken up. She said through trial and error she narrowed down to one line berry.

... why wouldn’t she just ask for her berries to be added AFTER the refresher is shaken?

Well then they’d probably get mad that their drink isn’t the right color, considering it gets its color from the berries

We have a dude that does that but he is friendly and we always joke about putting two.

Dude.. I worked at a store and a lady would order the same thing. Only one berry

Oh yes we have a Karen too. Grande americano with 6 ice cubes. (That’s a hot americano BTW)

Not gonna lie, sometimes when someone would asked for a certain number of ice cubes in their hot americano I’d either find really tiny cubes or giant stuck together cubes! 😂

I actually like to show them that "these aren't cubes. This is crushed ice. "
