pet peeve (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by gollywhiz
one of my top pet peeves is when a customer corrects what i say, with a slightly different wording, several times.
dude: can i get a grande coffee, room for cream?
me: sweet, grande coffee with room, anyth-
dude: NO. grande coffee, room for cream.
me: *very forced smile* yup. anything else?
dude: grande coffee, room for cream right?
me: *screaming internally* yes. your total is XX
this happened today at 5:30am

I totally get it! Me too! I also hate when I say “ hot or iced?” ( or ask a question) and they just repeat the same thing over. And I’m like “ yes I got that but do you want it hot or iced?” Lol and they go, ICED!!!!!!! And I’m like “okay well the standard for this drink is hot so I just wanted to verify.” And they just drive off lol.

Had a kid ask for water (had to start regulating the after cups at my Starbucks because of this kid) and I go to grab it for him, scoop the ice, and he yells at me to dump out almost all the ice because it was way too much (was putting in a standard amount)

“What size”
“A cappuccino extra hot extra shot”
“Sure! What size is that”
“Don’t forget no foam!”
Repeat ad nauseam

Mine is when at opening shift, I had people already waiting in line. We took off the chains and this guy stormed in ahead of the others. Took a long while ordering, (thus the one’s in line after him already finished before him, and he wanted his sandwiches cut in half), and when discovering he received his order later than the rest he got upset and complained... the world does not revolve around you.

we get a lady with 25 drink modifications who always throws “fill it all the way up to the top” at the end. and when i repeat her drink she says “filled to the top.” and go “okay that’s $5.47” she goes again “and fill it up to the top.” lady, we fuckin get it. get the hell out my drive thru already.

and then after you finally get it all in and ask for their name and they forget their name for like five minutes, because you can remember your complicated order but not your name
