I coach all of my baristas to ask hot or iced on every white mocha/caramel macchiato/mocha/any of the peppermint variations/all of the holiday drinks.
Works pretty well for me

I do too but the worst is “would you like that hot or iced” “the cold one” and then when they receive an iced blah blah they throw a fit of “this isn’t my Frappuccino”

If they say cold and don’t seem sure we ask if they want it “over ice” or “blended like a milkshake” and that helps a LOT

An old lady did this to me with two mochas. She asked for “the iced one”. So annoying

Yep, I ask hot or iced on every single order and get glared at by so many customers who think I think they're idiots... but it's worth it not to have to remake in the middle of a rush.

Always ask

I always ask hot, cold, or blended and people will always respond “what is blended?”
Lmao there’s literally nothing we can do for people like that

THIS. BUT ALSO THE OPPOSITE.
"Can I get a toasted white chocolate frappuccino?" "Sure! What size would you like?" "Grande!" "Alrighty, would you like anything else today?" "I think that's it" "Alright see you down here!"
"Why is this cold? I asked for a toasted white mocha, aren't those hot?"
Me: ***headdesk headdesk headdesk***

THIS. and it isn't like they don't know the word frappuccino, because they whine about it and use the word at the window. i always try to double check, but like. if you know what it's called, there's no excuse. or just say "frap" or "frappe". it ain't just kids that do this either, it's folks in their 20's, too! and they rarely ever apologize or own up that they were the ones that didn't specify!
