My mood felt fun and playful a day I was sampling brownies. A customer turned down my offer, and I rebuffed her with "put it in your mouth, (slow pause) and eat it." I thought I was funny but the customer didn't; I got a write-up for that one.
Another time, feeling silly on bar, I was calling out food and drinks from the hand-off plane while intentionally mispronouncing names. I handed out a SFW and called out, "Casey! I've got your Spinach Feta RAPE ready!" I could not have sunk farther under the table. I'm still cringing.

I have two jobs, and whenever I answer the phone at the second one (bubble tea place) I hit them with the "hey welcome to Starbucks what can I get started for you". Thankfully it's usually my coworkers calling in but 😰

I’ve said “welcome to target” ON DTO TWICE
“Welcome to starbursts” once
I’ve said “a grande latte comes with 2 shots of VODKA”
“I’m sorry we don’t have olive juice” the first time some asked for a dirty chai (I was a bartender before this, and if you order a dirty martini it means you want olive juice in the drink)
I also said ‘holy shit’ over the drive through mic when some one tripped and dropped the metal covers for the ice bins and scared me half to death. Thankfully the customer thought it was hilarious.

My first week at Starbucks I answered the phone as if I was at my old job “H&M at ..... what can I help you with today?”

I asked a customer if they wanted to try an ass shot in their drink. It was unbelievably embarrassing, luckily they had a good laugh about it

We were busy and training a new hire for the day at the same time. I tried to say “Have A Good Day” and “You’re Welcome” to a regular - ended up combining them both into “You’re Gay!” luckily she laughed and I explained and it made her day :) but I still have flashbacks about it 🙃
