“Screw The Customer” An ode to Karen (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Kyenne_Pepper123
Screw the customer,
Who doesn’t know what they want,
Who misorders their drink,
Who still don’t know that the “Medicine ball” and the honey citrus mint are one in the same

Screw the customer,
Who wants a drink the company hasn’t had in years,
Who gets mad if we don’t have a product
As if we have a Narnia Closet in the back

Screw the customer,
Who can pay for the car behind them
But yet still can’t tip us,
Who wants 99 different frapps
But gets mad when they have to wait 10 min

Screw the customer,
Who thinks we have a secret menu,
And get mad when their custom drink cost so damn much,
Screw the customer who’s mad they cant get their nito as a venti

Screw the customer,
Who brings their friends 2 seconds before we close
And asks for everything in the damn store

*if anyone wants to add something you can
* If you wanna dm ur portion so I can make a revised version you can. You will receive the amazing credit you deserve when I post the final product

Screw the customer that shows up without a mask even though there are multiple signs at the drive through.

sunkistlvr 6 points 3y ago

Kyenne_Pepper123 [OP] 3 points 3y ago

Nigee_Ogee 2 points 3y ago

Screw the customer that just sat in the drive thru line for 10 minutes and THEN reloads their card at the window just causing even more delays.
Kyenne_Pepper123 [OP] 9 points 3y ago
I fucking hate that shit
VectoredClarinet 5 points 3y ago
And then argues with you because they don’t understand how the card reload works and why it makes their total higher.

Literally went back and forth with a Karen for 15 minutes in drive yesterday.
beccaboo2u 4 points 3y ago
Right!? I finally just started doing reloads separately from the order because I was tired of explaining it.
DualWeaponSnacker 3 points 3y ago
I do it separately too. Just makes my life easier.

Screw the customer that waits until you scan and cash them out to say they’re using their stars.
Kyenne_Pepper123 [OP] 13 points 3y ago
Louder for the people in tune back of the DT line
beccaboo2u 4 points 3y ago
Omg... This. Fuck these people
poorenglishmajor 26 points 3y ago
screw the customer who watches me make their drink and asks "are you sure that's right" or "I didn't see you add\_\_\_\_\_\_."
DualWeaponSnacker 4 points 3y ago
Or waits until you’re done, but watched you the whole time, just to say they want it remade.

Screw the customer who comes to the store after closing time, sees the closed sign, sees you walking without apron, sees you spraying chemicals all over the place, and then decides it is a good idea to start banging on the door whilst glaring you down with something I can only describe as a 'I'm-Karen-and-my-mum-should-have-swallowed death ray.'

Screw the people who roll up to the drive through box and scream “HELLLLLLOOO!!! ARE YOU OPEN” 3 seconds after they get there
Kyenne_Pepper123 [OP] 5 points 3y ago
Fuck these people fr fr

Screw the customer who can't bother to read cups to find their drink. Bonus if they don't know what name it's under and expect us to know. Extra bonus if they hold up the only drink with their name on it and still don't know if it's theirs
Vader_Boi 12 points 3y ago
Screw the customer that accuses you of racially profiling them bc you won’t take their trash through the window.

Theres a special place in hell.....
firedaisy 11 points 3y ago
Screw the customer who ignores your cheerful "Good Morning! How are you?", tosses their card on the counter, mumbles their incomplete order in your general direction, then carries on a conversation with a friend and gets irritated when you have to interrupt to ask questions about their order.
katgat 11 points 3y ago
Screw the customer who degrades my fellow partners, who glares down their nose as they scream “I ordered a grande, that’s your biggest size; you made it wrong”.

Screw the customer who says they wanted their drink iced even though I repeated it to them twice then proceeds to stand at my counter, screaming and insulting us as he holds his “messed up” drink and his “corrected” free drink in each hand.

Screw the customer who thinks they know more than my partners, the costumer who tries to talk politics with me, who complains about the masks we have to wear.

SCREW the customers who try to come into my franchise Starbucks and say we do random shit at the corporate starbucks (that is my primary job) then get mad when I call them out on it. You didn’t get X free. You didn’t get X discount. They didn’t tell you we had X because THAT STORE HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR LIKE TWO MONTHS.

Edited to fix some spelling, I started to get angry and angry me has terrible grammar.
[deleted] 11 points 3y ago
Screw the costumer who can’t be specific with their order then gets upset that it’s “different every time”

Would you go to McDonald’s and just tell the cashier “hamburger”? No, so don’t order a cold brew with cold foam and get mad when we ask which one you want.
SkylerSayys 10 points 3y ago
Screw the customer who hands me their card/cash and watches me use it to pay for their order, only to say "and i have a gift card to use today" as i return their card/their change, like they didn't just pay.
Somefemalereading 7 points 3y ago
Screw the customer who saw we have a state curfew yet still gets mad at us when we need to close early.
Amalo 6 points 3y ago
Screw the people staring at us while on bar.. “You’re making my drink wrong.” Looks at the cup.., “Are you Nancy? This one is for her. Yours is still in the queue.” “Ugh, this Starbucks is much slower than mine.”

Not sure if it’s been posted already.
GymLeaderFlame 6 points 3y ago
Screw the customer who demands we order more confetti cups during rush hour that I have to listen to complain on the phone instead of CSing
DualWeaponSnacker 6 points 3y ago
Also, screw the customer that says “I’m so sorry to be annoying,” and then proceeds to have zero shame in how absurd their fifteen orders are (separate payment of course). Screw the customer that can’t be bothered to learn their partner’s drink and just recites nonsense and tells us to figure it out (and screw the partner that doesn’t come get their own damn coffee). Screw the customer that complains and then when I offer to remake the drink, they say no and drive away. WHY DID YOU COMPLAIN? You’re literally just being mean at that point! Let us fix it for you. FUCK.
Minkybun 6 points 3y ago
Screw the customer that want a drink from Tiktok like what fucking drink and screw the customer that kept making me waste 3 sandwiches cause said name wrong : )
Lolindir93 5 points 3y ago
Screw the customer who shows up right before we close, who begs and pleads to get in because they only have “1 drink” and then orders 4 custom Frappuccinos.
agsss 2 points 3y ago
screw the customer who comes in with no mask and leans around the plexiglass barriers to order and screw the customer who pulls their mask down to order- do they not know how masks work?
PromisesNoelle 2 points 3y ago
Misorders their drink then calls to complain and comes back for us to remake it. Brings in their old drink for proof that we made it wrong only to find out that in fact we made it correct and they were wrong and they still expect us to pay for their new drink...
Blackout62 1 points 3y ago
An inverse because I find it both sad, indecent, and kinda funny:

Screw my manager who turned away a Franciscan monk because we were closing.
