At my store it’s nothing but chai tea lattes and caramel frappucinos

Yeah I was going to say dirty chai is where it's at. Last time I got a green tea frappuccino with caramel the barista went overboard but I think it cured me of my love of caramel so I consider that abomination a win for me.

"and no whip"

And I used to have a quick moment of *do I tell them it doesn't come standard with whip or just ignore it*?

I love telling people when they're wrong otherwise they'll never learn..... But I still have yet to see any progress in their intelligence

UPSIDE DOWN PLS
Meinax151 [OP] 10 points 3y ago
Would you rather them order it upside down or suffer watching in horror as they grab it and swirl it like they have a fucking robot arm?
shomolo 3 points 3y ago
This is true 😭

I literally cringe so hard and I hope they see me reeling in agony at the sheer stupidity
cfuqua 4 points 3y ago
it's not the customer's fault, the menu was designed by assuming the customer is stupid.

if i were ordering a coffee at another shop they would have "latte $x.xx" "macchiato $x.xx" "americano $x.xx" and then "add syrup $.xx" and then a list of syrups.

now, you'll notice the starbucks menu does not look like that. in fact many of the menu boards have, in lieu of educational information, two or three pictures of drinks. like, JUST two or three. PICTURES. with a price for the grande.

so what exactly are you expecting to happen differently?

Never get mad at an ice drink. They save us.

Smh, I can’t tell you how many times I hear someone order this with an extra shot of “eXpREsSo”

I swear a solid 80% of our drinks are caramel abominations. Fraps, lattes, macchiatos, almost always with extra caramel ("extra syrup in it or extra drizzle on top?" "both"). At least a dozen times I've turned off the headset and said "OR you could just get a single shot and go to the Kroger for a bag of caramels since that's what you actually want."

Don’t forget “with an extra shot”
