I love moments when I’m just like “damn that sucks....have a good day!” Because sometimes the issues is really not that egregious and everything is a shit show and I don’t have the time

i also just genuinely did not want to remake it either because it was so gross, i honestly thought it was one of those joke ones where people just put a bunch of random shit in it but from how she reacted when she picked it up it seemed like she knew what she wanted

This happened today with someone who waited 1.5 hours to come get their frappuccinos. They insisted we remake them and I was already there 30 minutes late and I said no originally and they pressed it because “we got stuck in a meeting”.

Because I hate myself, I agreed but told them to come inside because they were three very complicated fraps. They come in and immediately interrupt me to ask if we can make one hot. Dude I was LITTY.

No don’t ever offer to remake those. That’s their fault for mobile ordering and coming like a whole ass hour after they did. If you’re mobile ordering the idea is that you’re already on the way there

Oh I’m with you. I only momentarily felt bad because she said they were stuck in a meeting. It was seriously upsetting though. I wish I hadn’t.

Our managers make us in my district. Which is trash because I can’t tell how how many iced cloud macchiatos we’ve had to remake for this e x a c t reason.

i spent too much time trying to figure out how you got the whip cream to float in the cup like that....

Idk why you’re getting downvoted :/ that’s what we’re supposed to do. These drinks aren’t cheap. Of course, I deserve to be compensated for my labor... and helping customers is part of my labor description. **if I was there past my scheduled time, I just would have said yes to the customer and asked the shift or whoever was scheduled later to remake it because I’m off the clock.

Imagine if you were a regular person who ordered a “coffee” for $7.49, and it wasn’t good. I hope people come back and tell us something isn’t right. I respect the money from their labor.

Because baristas can be very angry for small things. I work with people like this all the time who groan when a customer is being annoying. I don't care for the down votes but yeah it's very expensive. It's just something that I would say instantly and then be kinda like "eeerrrrr...." But then just make it again when I can just it's out job... I always remember it could be worse
callmebyyourdadsname 7 points 3y ago
“Small thing” lol. Barista has to drop whatever they’re doing to remake a drink that’s almost impossible to sequence, even though they made it exactly how they were supposed to the first time? If you’re busy, by the time you finish remaking this you’ll be drowning and way behind and then you’re getting yelled at for drive times. It’s fine if you wanna lick corporate boot. but don’t invalidate the very real frustrations others feel on this job.
captainofkitten 1 points 3y ago
That's why I said I'll make the drink when I can. Finish the stuff I'm working on. That drink isn't that hard it's just syrups
captainofkitten -1 points 3y ago
It's just a drink
bedusseyy [OP] 5 points 3y ago
if she had asked me to remake it i would have, but she didn’t, she took it and left, i just didn’t offer to remake it

i had a caramel ribbon crunch as complicated as this one today too! it’s like they’re all coordinated...
official_koda_ 4 points 3y ago
How do people come up with these crappy drinks. I never offer to remake a Frappuccino unless they’re really nice
Critical50 3 points 3y ago

The s’mores frap gets milk chocolate sauce, it’s different than mocha
SteampoweredClock 4 points 3y ago
She probably meant mocha. Still dumb

Being 8 months pregnant- every time I see something like this out of a female- I assume she’s pregnant. Like Starbucks knew you were pregnant before you did or your family. No need to see a doctor ask a barista!

Edit: a word- swollen fat sausage fingers... two more months can’t come soon enough!
