What was your favorite way you called out a drink? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by RangerFoxXIII
Or heard one called.

Mine was when someone ordered an passion tea with *17 pumps of Classic*. "[Name], here's your passion tea with lite ice and sweeter than puppies and kittens cuddling."

If a drink is overly complicated/modified and I'm pretty sure the customer will take it in good humor I'll call it out like:

"\[Name\]! I have your blonde mocha monstrosity here at the bar!" or"\[Name\], I have your iced toffee nut-whipped cream concoction!"

I'd be afraid of calling it a "monstrosity" out of fear of getting on someone's bad side (unless it's my husband after he figures out he can add peppermint to a java chip frappuccino; yuck. I call all his mint drinks "monstrosities.") But I use "concoction" all the time.

Definitely true, re: monstrosity. Definitely not something I'll use with every single customer, but it's gotten a couple chuckles. I'm also a fan of "situation" (e.g. "Karen! I have that delicious-looking pumpkin-chai-mocha frappe situation at the bar for you")

Black tea lemonade with the strawberry bits.

"Arnold Palmer in lipstick!"

I once called a short cold brew a "bro jr."

Also I call a double dirty chai a nuclear chai. Dirty bomb to like a suitcase nuke... it's a very dark logic.

... Also I'm workshopping calling a triple a 3.6 roentgen chai.
