I purposely play with our customers. I’ll do voices and characters. I’ll tell them their total in pennies (“that’ll be 2,456... pennies... at the window”). Other stupid shit.
From what I’ve seen it has a massive impact on people’s’ day. Screwing up and going with it also helps. Can’t tell ya how many times I’ve just gone “welcome to stuffbuhhhh........ uh... hang on... *beep*... *inhale*.... *ahem* Yo?” And it’s made a customer lose their shit laughing.

Flubbing easy lines in the morning is a fun way to make people's day a little better, and the best thing is that it's entirely unintentional.
I'm running on like 5 hours of sleep and "bacon egg bites" is suddenly the hardest fucking thing to pronounce and all I can say is "so, words, not my strong suit today" and people get a kick out of it.

I’m so glad you posted this. I just got hired at Starbucks recently & very knowledgeable of an idea it is , to screw up and just go with it.

Yeah! I mean, don’t ever really freak out. Nothing that goes on in Bux is worth getting serious anxiety over. Just laugh about it with the customer and it creates a good, memorable experience.

one time a lady in our drive hadn’t been helped yet and was obviously on the phone, so she said “let me know when you get home, okay?” and my coworker who wasn’t on drive answered “i’m home” out the drive speaker instead of in the store and she thought it was just as funny as we did

Lol, I worked at McDonald's in high school 25 years ago, and I've caught myself more than once saying "welcome to McDonald's" in the drive thru 😬

*Slowly moves with drink in hand to hand off to Joe, the old Tai Chi Master, who snatched it away equally slow*

Went back and forth with the dad of a middle schooler recently after she goofed :
Me- *lol* "you mean the mango dragonfruit? People say megan dragonfruit all the time- it's great!"
"Megan dregan foot"
"Meagan had what in her boot?"
"Mangos are dragons food!"
"Mega dragons are rude"
...
It was the best.

Nothing like the receipt printing and looking at the customer and saying with a chipper and almost aggressive voice “anything else?” 🙃
Usually followed by “sorry, wrong line” and giggles by both parties.
