I’m so excited to get rid of it. As a closer, I don’t want to take the time to make something only to have it be thrown away the next night. At my store, only one of the shifts and a customer wearing an eye patch drink SKM. Good riddance.

Love that you added they wear an eye patch 🤣
dancing_durian 18 points 3y ago
Omg! She’s a whole ass meme. One of my partners lovingly refer to her as ‘cyclops’ I call her a ‘pirate with the 90 day fiancé’ 😅😝

I really wish I could witness this in person 😂😂

Tell us about the 90 day fiancé
dancing_durian 1 points 3y ago
The funny thing is I actually thought she was by her lonesome for the longest time. I mean she always MOP 2 drinks and it’s always just her picking up both the drinks. I pay it no mind. Until one day I left a shift and went out at the same time she was exiting her car to come in. I saw in the passenger seat this racially ambiguous man all hunched over and just in his own world. It honestly looks like a hostage situation. That’s why I jokingly refer to him as the ‘90 day fiancé’

we have a rude eye patch customer at our store, i always call him the pirate. maybe our eye-patched customers could meet up one day and make another one-eyed baby

I was a partner the summer they discontinued the light base for the Frappuccinos. I had a man yell at me about “what are the diabetics supposed to do” idk sir maybe order something besides blended sugar??

I had a lady order a light mocha Frappuccino the other day and explained we no longer carry the light base, I’ve been here for 4 years, and after Sunday will no longer get carry the skinny mocha, I was like I can do skinny mocha, nonfat, no whip, but she might want to get a venti since it will be the last time she gets it! 🤪

"I'd like a grande vanilla latte."
"I'm so sorry, we're actually out of vanilla for this evening."
"Oh. Can I get a grande caramel macchiato?"
"MA'AM"
All over again 😞
poorenglishmajor 10 points 3y ago
WHAT? The caramel macchiato has *vanilla* at the bottom?!

For some reason a few months back this didn't click for me in the moment and I said yes🤣 my coworkers all laughed at me.

I wouldn’t be sad at all but one of my favorite regulars gets skinny mochas and I felt bad telling her :’( luckily she was super nice about it

Honestly I really wish they'd get a new mocha recipe. I hate their mocha.

Maybe the Mocha would taste better if we were able to add it to a drink in powdered form, like with swiss miss hot cocoa.

It reminds me too much of those awful hot cocoas people sell at fairs and school events thats just the swiss miss + hot water.

I think its because I know that the mocha syrup is mostly water. But it has such an odd powdery texture to me.

I agree, but also your username makes this comment!
glittergoddess1002 7 points 3y ago
Ugh this is great for the partners, but sucks for those of us who can’t do sugar and need a switch up from the usual latte. Don’t get me wrong, I hate tossing all the extra that never gets used. But it’s my very favorite hot drink and now my soul is crushed.
official_koda_ 6 points 3y ago
I felt bad for one regular who gets a iced skinny mocha everyday...but it was funny how fast she was like “regular mocha is fine” and didn’t seem to care at all.
Kyenne_Pepper123 6 points 3y ago
I’m dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ACleverDoggo 3 points 3y ago
I've never tried the skinny mocha, but if it's anything like the sugar free mocha syrup they brought out when I was a partner back in '07, *good fucking riddance*
vrgnity 3 points 3y ago
i hated mixing it but i hate the taste of the regular mocha so much more. rip sf mocha, I'll miss ya
golden_pinky 2 points 3y ago
There's a regular at my store who talks about skinny mocha like a godsend because he lost a bunch of weight changing his coffee routine. He has tried every other healthy option and has settled on that and I'm NOT looking forward to breaking that man's heart.
Meinax151 [OP] 2 points 3y ago
I don't have any customers that attached to it! I'm sorry you have to deliver the bad news 🥺
cabbagescraps 2 points 3y ago
as much as i hate making it and washing out 99% of it at the end of the night, i’m sad to see it go :( the grandmother of one of my coworkers gets a skinny mocha frapp every day and now i don’t know if she can get it but hopefully we can figure out a way to make her drink still
Mayachees 2 points 3y ago
Maybe do just a little mocha and sf vanilla?
cabbagescraps 1 points 3y ago
i’ll try it for her the next time i see her unless she’s already found a new way to make it!! thank you for the suggestion!!
kaiyohan01 1 points 3y ago
as a nice fair well, we stashed our last skinny mocha somewhere for it to never be found...
Kaywin 1 points 3y ago
I for some reason remembered hearing that they were getting rid of skinny mocha like way back last Xmas or something? Obviously that didn’t happen then.

As someone who eats low-carb/keto I’m pretty bummed about the switch. At my store at least one batch of SM lasts us all day. It’s literally just one more thing to wash. I don’t understand what’s so upsetting about that but maybe I’m missing something 🤷‍♂️ When a bunch of people piled on me and other users for being annoyed with people who order refreshers with no water and no ice I made peace with the fact I have some unpopular opinions lol.
