There’s this girl who comes by a few times per week. She orders not too complicated drinks (ex. tall iced americano with sweet cream and hazelnut). However, there’s ALWAYS something wrong with it.
“It tastes bitter okay you tooootally killed the shots”. “There’s too much cream wtf”. “There’s no syrup in this”. “Are you training someone on bar like are they just learning the drinks?”
Like bitch, if you’re gonna be so damn picky then just make your own drinks at your own store instead of holding up the DT line or making the barista on cafe bar stop everything she’s doing to remake your “ruined drink”

You know, customers can’t actually see you making the shots. She would never be able to tell if it’s decaf.

People can have a decaf allergy.

What, allergic to the absence of caffeine?

Yea, the beans go through a chemical wash and can be allergic to that stuff. Regardless, why did like 4 people dogpile me in the comments? I hate baristas that put decaf in place of caffeine. If you feel like god so much, go do another job. It’s just coffee and you shouldn’t mess around with what someone buys.
Here’s what I gathered from my internets because curiosity killed the cat. To decaf, we take chemicals and wash them through the coffee for hours on end. If you don’t think that someone could possibly get a horrible migraine after drinking this Voldemort beverage, I probably shouldn’t trust anyone on this thread let alone my fellow coworkers xD

I just looked that up because I’ve never heard of it, and it says that you can either be 1) intolerant to caffeine in general or 2) allergic to coffee in general

I hate to say it but some of my worst regulars are partners. “Are you busy rn?!? Omg mine too anyway can I get a venti iced soy Carmel brûlée with extra caramel, 2 pumps cinnamon dolce, 3 pumps toffee nut, no whip but extra sprinkles my numbers are 295-“

There is this partner who likes to come by our store and always orders a peach tranquility, venti, with x amt of agave...but iced. Which is fine, we can make other drinks while her tea is steeping, but she ALWAYS orders it in drive thru when it’s really busy. Kinda sucks, and this past time when she ordered it we asked her to drive up, and I accidentally knocked it over 🤦♀️ she ended up calling our store from where she was parked and asking when it would be ready :-)

There are a couple stores I complain at in my area. I get iced chai with 10 pumps. The lose two stores never pump full pumps. It’s LIGHT. I take a drink and if I can’t taste the chai or it’s not dark enough I ask them for more pumps. 10 pumps of chai gets very close to that bottom black line.
Edit: I’m a partner and also a trainer who uses the chai as a teaching point on why it’s important to do full pumps. Not doing full pumps of chai or leaving out pumps is like not doing the right amount of espresso shots. It affects the taste a lot.

When we reinvented Frappuccino’s a while back, we got this stuff called “Pourable non-dairy Frapp Base” and it was some sick shit... but a pourable chai base just sounds like heaven. And I just want to open up a box of chai for you every day and pour to that first line.
