Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

I'm tired of getting glared at by customers at the drive thru window when their drink isn't ready in 2 seconds (i.redd.it)

Customers been calling the store while they are in the drive through and asking what’s taking so long even though they knew damn well the line was super long when they got in it 😂

“Let me just call the store that’s taking a long time so that someone has to stop what they’re doing to answer the phone” makes perfect sense 😂

Our left bar has been down for three days -- they said it was repaired last night and then when we ran tabs this morning and tried to calibrate shots it made a horrible grinding noise, so it was unusable.


Multiple days of gigantic cup queues really gets old. And I feel bad when they put me in window and it's like "all right, I've got your money, now they haven't even started your drink yet, so hang tight."

We had a customer come through yesterday during peak and as she was ordering she goes “yeah just so you guys know you have like 9 cars in a line here” Yes Karen we definitely didn’t know that.

I tend to stare back, this little girl was in the backseat and I caught her staring at me so naturally I just stared back and I could see her mouthing the words "hes staring at me" ... ditto

Or when you tell them their total and they huff and puff dude did you not think you had to pay??

How to fix:
ask how their day has been, if they have plans, what they do for work, do they enjoy the weather?
Id say it's 50/50 people who just give short replies and obviously hate your guts. However you'll soon find that many people are pretty enjoyable and nice people

I know lots of customers that are enjoyable and I have good conversations with, but they are the ones that smile and look at me like a real person.

that’s not easy to do when we close with 3 people and I’m soloing drive/bar

Today I had a man drive up who’s car, except for the driving seat area, was completely filled up with trash (not even in bags) and literally not one other seat was usable

unless it’s boiling hot
METAXILLUS 2 points 4y ago
Oh you forgot to mention it was also busy lmfao
falsepath 15 points 4y ago
Or I could take other orders, prepare other drinks, and just generally not cater to them as if they’re the only living human being left on the planet.
METAXILLUS -6 points 4y ago
That’s a lot of projection hahahaha
falsepath 2 points 4y ago
That’s a lot of downvotes. Carry on friend.
