Alright, so yesterday I posted about the $1 who got mad about not being able to fill her iced double espresso in a venti cup with whole milk to the brim because we were out of whole milk.
Today the same lady returns and orders the same thing. Unfortunately my coworker gave her the milk she wanted and sympathized with her when she whined about me not complying to her entitlement. *sigh*
A while later I’m in the lobby sweeping and there she is sitting with her ‘poor man’s latte’ all smug and satisfied. Her table is a mess with napkins and candy wrappers and cups. I see her getting up and heading to the door to leave- her table still a mess. I call out to her
“Excuse ma’am aren’t you gonna throw that out? The garbage can is literally right there.”
She turns around slowly, looks me dead in the eye and says: “no that’s YOUR job ugh” and walks out the door.
I’m. So. Tired. Of. This. Bullshit.

That's so upsetting. :( I'm sorry that happened to you.
Perhaps you can invite her to leave if she does something like this again because, for example, leaving a rotten mess behind isn't exactly conducive to a comfortable Third Place^(TM)?

Yeah and state how it does not allow for a welcoming environment. Speak to your store manager about it. Take pictures next time. Get her banned from your store

I hate people like that. My usual drink is four shots over ice in a grande, ice to the top (aka iced americano with no water but nobody seems to understand what I want when I order that way), and partners always think I’m trying to get away with something and give me side-eye. She is the reason I’m either regarded with suspicion or my drink isn’t made right. I use a little bit of milk but I just like it strong, and I can sip for awhile before it’s too watery. It should be a simple order but it never is. I curse that woman and the rest of the cheapos.

Yeah that sucks. I usually get side eyed as well even though I am a partner in the 147× era. I bring my own milk because our almond tastes like cardboard.

That must be a common drink for old timers-I was a 278xxx and almost all of my old store partners got the same thing.

Unfortunately i am personally so used to it that i don't even notice it anymore. I am near high school so we have bunch of high school kids at ours and they can get really messy. Yes they often leave trash all over/under their table and just leave. Only thing that helps is we have teen working for us from same school, so she will call them out of if she sees them do it.

My store has this lady come in and order a hot grande Americano no water with steamed heavy cream no room....
