to the woman who keeps coming in and ordering 5 trenta mango dragonfruit refreshers with no water, no ice (“except one which i’m gonna drink right now”) (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by sunflowertoad
please stop. we keep running out of mango base because of you. why do you want to drink mango base??? also it doesn’t taste good if you leave it too long??? are you okay? what the FUCK?
i hate people why do they order shit like that ajdbbf

You can buy freeze dried dragon fruit and presumably she has water at home, so she’s probably just making MDR’s at home for a fraction of the price. It’s so frustrating when they do that because it decimates our supply but we’re not allowed to turn them away. There used to be a guy who would come every happy hour and get 4 SAR, no water/ice/berries (but pay for 2) for his girlfriend and I truly hated him.

I had a SM that would drink a venti BHR base (no berries, with light ice) multiple times during a shift as their partner bev. 🤮
They would also demand that it be shaken in the shaker as well.

God she was awful.

If you guys are having a supply issue couldn't you sm refuse to sell them that many? Or at least order more for that specific person. I mean 5 trentas has to be like 2 boxes
jchbegg 11 points 3y ago
5 trentas is 5 whole boxes, which is almost a full case.
diabeticsmash 9 points 3y ago
Jesus yeah I'd ask my SM if there was any way to refuse serving them that many. I have a relatively chill sm tho

we wouldn’t be allowed to turn her away, no. she’s relatively new so the random +5 boxes we use hasn’t like... affected the order yet i guess? so we haven’t been ordering extra to prepare for it lol

the mango dragonfruit tastes terrible when you don’t drink it right away. I don’t know how to describe it but the base didn’t taste right after sitting over night without the lid on it. don’t know how she’s drinking these and they’re still tasting alright

Tell her that it is possible to buy a dragonfruit drink at a grocery store and she can make it at home way cheaper.

Just put light ice in them (on accident, of course, that print is so small... I swore it said “Light Ice”) and then when they ask for remakes dump it all and then say, “Oh, so sorry, we just ran out... If you wouldn’t mind going back in line we can get you a refund or exchange.”

Edit: /s

Fantasy scenario. That leaves you with the same problem, less money, and a disgruntled customer.
