Today I had a woman order a verde black coffee. I knew she meant venti, but it still made me giggle.

I think Tai-Chi Latte is still one of my favorites. Classic.

Or people looking at 'Bacon & Gruyere' eggbites and not knowing what to say. Or just saying Bacon Gouda Eggbites.

I giggle everytime someone in the drive thru says “Trenti” or when my fellow Latino customers order the Grande Frappushino, but they mean the venti

We have a "trenti" guy and we gently correct him every damn day and hes yet to learn. Its been months of his daily Trenti iced coffee.

I had someone ask for a “birthday party cake pop”. I was super delirious at the time and I laughed so hard into the headset. The woman laughed too and was like “I’m so sorry I took my kid to a birthday party today and now I’m exhausted.”

"megan dragofruit" is one of our favourites at my store

my coworker once ordered a "grande blondie" instead of a blonde americano in another drive thru LOL it was our first day back mid-quarantine, we were a bit rusty
hawaiian_potato 3 points 3y ago
We have a customer who orders a maggot dragonfly. Every day for the past year. 😂😂

Incorrectly marked cup by ASM ca. 2006. Iced venti cup that read "Lice" in the custom box. Horrified, I asked for clarification. "That's light ice."

Sure, Jan.

Edit: I just remembered another gem. An older woman walks in and said to me, "I'd like a tall hot Colombian". I responded, "so would I."

A lady the other day ordered an "iced CARBON macholatto" and I had to turn off my headset and lose my shit

A few days ago a guy came through tryna act all smooth:

Thank you for choosing Starbucks, what can I get started for you- “Gimme a hammock.”

Now, I know I didn’t hear that right, so I take a second. I’m sorry, could you repeat that for me?

“I need a cam mock.”

... I’m sorry, sir, I’m having trouble hearing you over the headset, could I get that one more time?

“Come on, a cammack! A cam mock, a caramel makeeto! I thought you guys were supposed to know this stuff!”

Took a minute to not want to reach through the box and smack him in the moment, but it was definitely a good laugh later on for sure.

I’ve said this before on a post like this and I’ll say it again but mainly because this is how my dad said it when I was growing up. My ultimate favorite is the “venTAY”
mel_mel1 3 points 3y ago
Caramel Mariachi, Strawberry Ikea
Tidal_wavves 2 points 3y ago
“Vintage” is my favorite variation of venti
andysorrel 2 points 3y ago
My favorites are the different pronunciations of “açaí” we get “a-sigh” or “a-kai” or “a-kay” a lot haha

I had a lady order a Trenti Mango Dragonfly just this morning.

Also I couldn’t stop saying Maggin Daggin Fruit when that drink was first released.
