Stevia (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by [deleted]
I was explaining to a customer what kind of sugar alternatives we have. Instead of stevia I said sativa. During peak. On DTO. confidently.
That is all.
That’s the story.

A customer in dt told me once that she knew the "owner" of stevia and that the owner was mad that everyone pronounces it "steevia" and that it's really pronounced "stehvia". She said at least 5 times during the order "I know the owner personally and he just hates that everyone says it wrong!" And she refused to drive away until I agreed with her that stehvia is the "right way" to say it.....I had to work so hard to not laugh at her! I honestly dont know or care too much which is right, but the fact that she got so mad about it was hilarious.

the funniest part about that is that linguistically, the more popular pronunciation wins; so even if stehvia was the original pronunciation, steevia is what caught on and would be considered more correct (technically you could say they are both correct in this case).

Was the commercial with the Stevia song a fever dream for me or?? They literally pronounced it like Steevia I remember 🥴

Literally had a customer come up to me at my register once and in response my “what can i get for you today” he said “yeah i’ll take an eighth of gorilla glue, an eighth of-“ and then he stopped and was like “oh sorry, wrong place, i’ll just have a grande caramel frap.” true fucking story.

Quite similar to my confirming an order in the DTO as a skin-ammin dolce latte last week.
