My brother and I have been baristas for 20 combined years. Our mother still calls it a tai chee latte.

Not technically a mispronunciation, but there was this lady that would pronounce croissant as qua-son. She didn’t have any sort of French accent when she ordered and looked like a stereotypical soccer mom. My coworkers and I still pronounce it as qua-son to this day lol

Used to have a lady who'd come in and order a caramel mach-en-yatta. You'd think what she wanted was a macchiato. But no, she wants a vanilla bean frap with extra caramel walls and topping. 🙄

They ordered a moscato. They wanted a caramel macchiato.

A tall pike: “a tall PEAK” Caramel Macchiato: Caramel Ma-SHEE-ato (I’ve gotten this one many times)
retsehassyla 2 points 3y ago
Yes!! Or when they say “pikes peak”. That is a fucking MOUNTAIN!! **NOT** the name of the coffee 🤦♀️
official_koda_ 1 points 3y ago
I’ve only ever heard someone call it peak once while I was on DTO. Problem is for some reason it cracked me up so much, for like five minutes I was having to hold back laughter while taking orders.

Caramel Manicotti was my favorite. My friend laughed so hard she had to get off drive thru and I had to complete the transaction.
Good times.
Good times.
