DT greetings? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by okeekee
Title says it all - I’ve been on DTO everyday for 2 weeks now so I’d love to hear if anyone has some funny/more interesting ways to greet people at the speaker box besides “thanks for choosing sbux! What can I get started for you today?”

Hey thanks for choosing Starbucks!
Welcome to your (local area) Starbucks!
Good morning, can I get some breakfast today?
My personal favorite:
“Hey welcome to Stabrucks, what am I doing to Caffeinate you today?”
Also personal favorite for those odd moments when you NEED to put someone on hold
“Hi thank you for choosing Starbucks! Go ahead and take a look at the gorgeous menu, I’ll be right with you!”
To spice things up when people ask for extra things I give obnoxious numbers like,
Customer: Can I have an add shot?
Me: Sure! How many do you want? Just 1? Or 3, 6?
Customer: do you have the bacon Gouda sandwich?
Me: Yes! How many would you like, 1? 2? 25? I can only do 24, not 25 I’m so sorry!
It’s ALL about your delivery, being playful and intentionally trying to brighten their day.
I also say “dear” a lot.
Customer: can I get a grande ice latte with vanilla.
Me. Of course dear! Anything else?
Customer: no that’s it.
Me: alrighty dear, it’s gonna be $4.50 for a grande iced vanilla latte, see you at the window!

On board with all of these except “dear”—directed to myself or others.

I’ve used “Dear” instead of sweetheart or buddy since it’s gender neutral (at least in my area. Which I won’t lie is like 90% senior citizens where they call everyone dear) So it works great! All my customers love it BUT when I worked in Northern California or in the midwest- I would NEVER get away with this.
Make it unique to your area and what’s acceptable. Sometimes nicknames like that don’t work, and that’s ok.
In Iowa I couldn’t really get away anything other than “Bud.” Don’t know why, but it was ok lol

Sometimes I like to spice things up by pretending I'm Steve Irwin.

Accents in drive are my favorite. My ssv likes to do an italian or British that warms my heart.

An elderly partner always has the funniest shit
“Hi welcome this is your whacky barista! What can I get you on this thirsty Thursday?”
“You’ve come to the right place for fun and coffee”
“Is your morning going fantastic so far? If not then that’s our job!”
Sometimes she’ll just sing too 😂

Oh I love it! My go-to is a cycle of:
“It’s a wonderful day at Starbucks! What can I get started for you?”
“Welcome to Starbucks where we make the coffee and the coffee makes your day! What can I get started for you?”
“It’s rainy out there but we’ve got some coffee to brighten your day! What can I get for you?” (Only when it’s rainy though lol)

Sometimes I say "Welcome to Starfox" or "welcome to Starwars" just to see if people are really listening.

I have a coworker that says “thanks for choosing Starbucks, your caffeination destination. What can I get for you?”
