Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

The 7 long blonde shots filled almost the entire venti cup, there was only an inch left for almond milk and light ice, and the whole cup was hot because of all the shots. (i.redd.it)

Got into an argument with a guy because he ordered 4 long shots and they wouldn’t fit in a tall cup. He was mad it took so long and then mad the cup was larger. Long shots are satan’s work

We have a regular that orders quad long in a tall cup and it definitely fits with an inch room to spare for milk.
Edit: It might be just COVID but ya’ll really mad at someone for sharing a personal anecdote huh.

Sounds like your machine needs to be calibrated
skye-17 -13 points 3y ago
Nope. Consistently at 18-21 bracket.

Something seems amiss. Do you guys have the mastrena I?
altered-ever 22 points 3y ago
It was iced. Thank you for the call out though?

So sorry you got downvoted to hell, you were just sharing a story from your store like what’s the big deal? We have enough customers putting us down we don’t need other baristas to do the same:(

Who wants long shots anyway? Watered down espresso is nasty
StarryBlue7 40 points 3y ago
They think they’re getting “more” espresso that way, but really they’re just getting espresso + a couple rinse cycles.

They are getting more caffeine just horrible taste along with the doo doo water
StarryBlue7 7 points 3y ago
I mean, sure, but such a negligible amount of caffeine gain hardly seems worth the awful taste
johnmarkowens 5 points 3y ago
Never underestimate they’re bad taste. Rule no. 1 in green hell

Long shots are dumb and people should just get an Americano.

What a refreshing beverage for a sweltering summer day. Warm, bitter, weak coffee.

When customers complain about long wait times maybe it would help to show them pictures like this

Unfortunately I don’t think a lot of customers would even know what a long shot is lol

Are they trying to fight God
darkwolf523 2 points 3y ago
Sounds like me when I first started working for Starbucks minus the long shot and almond milk

It would be cheaper if they just ordered an iced espresso with extra Almond milk??
