What are some extra drinks you get from regulars ? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Skitsskatss
I get a guy who comes in and orders a trenta cold brew with extra heavy cream, 2 scoops vanilla bean, 6 equals, no water and shaken. I tried it once and it mostly tastes like equal. 😷 he’s super nice though I don’t mind making it at all.
HOWEVER..when I worked at a license there was this woman who would come in every morning and order a venti ultra caramel frapp with almond milk, extra extra caramel around the cup, extra cold brew whipped cream on the bottom and a side of cold brew whip with extra caramel in a short cup. It’s not insanely extra but she would get that sometimes twice a day and then come in later to get a caramel macchiato made almost the same way.

I have a regular customer who orders a grande americano everyday. She doesn’t list any modifications but she expects us to make her drink as a grande americano with extra room light splash of steamed half and half, light water, and light foam. And if we don’t make it that exact way she gets furious and screams at us and our manager. She even said that one of our best shifts doesn’t deserve his job or his position because he couldn’t make her complicated drink that she didn’t tell us how to make in the first place. There’s only a few of us that know how to make her drink but I don’t understand the entitlement of her thinking that everyone should just already know what she wants without her specifying.

AHHH I hate this!! I have people who do this shit and if I ask them what they’re having today they look at me like I’m freaking stupid for not already knowing. ( even if I do know I always ask because you’re not special and I’m not going to remember your drink for you.) and similar situation I have a woman who orders a venti ice coffee with cold foam no sweetener and never mentions that she wants heavy cream too. Then she flips because no one knew she wanted heavy cream despite her never telling us. Girl goes the extra mile by angrily tapping her nails on the counter and dramatically letting us know she’s late for work


Also..... light water in an americano? 🤔

There’s a regular at my store who orders a grande coffee in his own cup with an inch and a half of “steamed milk.” The first time I made it I used 2% and he came back telling me to remake it because it wasn’t right. I asked him what kind of milk and he just said “milk.” So I asked another barista and she said oh he always says milk but wants steamed half and half... people 🙄 I don’t understand people.

Tall black iced tea in a trenta cup, 10 pumps classic, extra extra ice, affagato milk with caramel drizzle on top

tried it and it just tastes like ‘caramel’ milk. mostly milk.
Skitsskatss [OP] 7 points 3y ago
If anything that’s just an overpriced and over sweetened milk tea 😷

Used to have a lady get 12 pumps of vanilla in her latte 🤮 she was so sweet but man that sounded sickening! And she used to get it every day lol

Had a guy once get a banana blended into his caramel frap, it actually tasted really good

BANANA IN STRAWBERRY FRAP TWICE BLENDED IS BOMB!

I have this one couple who comes in multiple times a day and order two venti matcha tea lattes, 7 scoops of matcha, 7 pumps of liquid cane sugar, extra hot, nonfat, no foam. The worst part is that if there is even the tiniest bit of foam they will come back and tell us to remake it. Such a headache

venti java chip frap, decaf shots, nonfat milk, peppermint syrup, half a pump of toffee nut syrup, caramel drizzle in the cup, double blended, light whip with both caramel and mocha drizzle on top. twice a day. too much whip, it gets sent back for a remake. not enough drizzle in the cup, remake. can’t taste the toffee nut, remake. too many or too little java chips... you guessed it. remake.
Skitsskatss [OP] 2 points 3y ago
God...I can’t stand it when people mix the peppermint syrup with anything else it’s already kinda nasty
mk6yettatdi 3 points 3y ago
on god this is real. a venti vanilla latte with 16 sugars. one for her, one for her husband every time DURING PEAK. whenever she comes thru we have cs stop what they’re doing and just pre open 32 sugar packets for the poor soul thats on bar

My favorite regular gets a quad mocha frap sub skinny mocha almond milk light ice double blended and we put it in a trenta. I adore her but her drink smells like farts
LiamboMusic 3 points 3y ago
My question is how the hell do some of these regulars get to these concoctions. Are they striving for diabetes or heart failure?!

I feel irritating when I ask for a skinny latte extra hot..

Venti cappuccino made with coconut milk but make the foam 2% milk. Sets my heart on fire i tell you
Skitsskatss [OP] 4 points 3y ago
Wtf...just why
bbun223 6 points 3y ago
“A sweet barista suggested it” to her. They must both be eliminated.
deprellis 3 points 3y ago
Theres a regular who orders a venti vanilla bean frappe no modifications but will stand over the syrup rack staring at you until you get to her drink and then will ask for 10 pumps of white mocha every time, never at the register. Honesty shes nice just...why
Skitsskatss [OP] 3 points 3y ago
Agskahsn probably to avoid the charge at the register. I used to have people get espresso over ice and then wait until I handed it off to top it off with soy milk.
aspiringandroid 3 points 3y ago
becky gets a venti iced caramel "mochiattah" with extra caramel drizzle on the sides and top of the cup, and extra ice. if the caramel drizzle falls to the bottom of the cup, or if there isn't a fuckton of ice with a splash of milk, she makes you remake it.

A venti triple blonde latte with 10 scoops of vanilla bean steamed into the milk, extra caramel drizzle and whip.
OsaXhan 2 points 3y ago
Venti decaf 5 ristretto shot, iced latte, upside down with 5 pumps of SV vanilla, non-fat milk and light ice.
IPinkerton 1 points 3y ago
This goes against every recipe I learned and she orders it every day, multiple times a day.

Venti Java Chip Frp
Grande scoop ice
Two cold bar mocha pumps
Two leveled out java chip scoops
One pump coffee frp base
Double blended
No mocha drizzle
Dome lid then whip
And a sleeve on the iced venti cup.

This drink I rang was so pricey!

I have a woman who comes in and gets a venti white mocha. 11 pumps wm, 5 pumps classic, STIRRED! I've never had the urge to try it but I imagine it tastes like a sugar bomb.

Venti caramel macchiato EXTRA caramel drizzle, white mocha, 7 equals, 6 splenda, toffee nut, and vanilla bean powder with whip.

There's also a lady who orders a skinny mocha with like every single topping we can do on top. The label will say extra cinnamon dolce, extra pumpkin spice topping, extra salt topping, extra caramel drizzle, extra mocha drizzle, extra cascara topping, and then there's another one I'm forgetting.

Venti iced matcha green tea latte with 16 scoops of matcha along with two more consisting of 14 and 10 scoops of matcha 🙃
Maddyc0709 1 points 3y ago
I have a regular who gets a tall iced coffee in a venti cup, 6 pumps vanilla, 6 pumps white mocha, light heavy cream, extra coconut milk, coffee base, and double blended. Makes me want to strangle myself.
