"Just to confirm you wanted a Carmel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccinno with extra Carmel Drizzle and extra Carmel Sugar Topping?" (self.starbucksbaristas)

"NO! I WANT RIBBON CRUNCH FRAP WITH EXTRA DRIZZLE AND EXTRA CRUNCH"

What the heck is wrong with these people? Why are you yelling? We have a microphone in the drive through, you don't have to try to yell through the exterior wall! How the heck do you think you can correct me!? If you're going to be demanding, at least know what you're talking about

“First of all, how dare you?” is generally how I feel in these situations.

Sorry this dingus customer got you riled up, I feel you OP.

I’m always like “yes.... that’s what i said.” Or “yes that’s what you ordered.”

"Perfect! That's exactly what I said (: now is there anything else I can get u"

“Awesome! those actually mean the same thing, yours just makes you sound like an angry 6 year old. I’ll see you at the window!”

we have a regular who orders "extra caramel and extra ribbon" every time no matter how many times we correct her. and always gets upset when we read back the order as "extra caramel and extra crunch topping" and yells at the speaker "NO I SAID EXTRA CARAMEL AND EXTRA RIBBON!!!!" like ... wtf is ribbon even supposed to be if not the topping 😭😭

If anything the ribbon is the caramel??

Maybe its whip

She wants you to go to Walmart and buy some ribbon, but then it'll probably be the wrong color
kthrnlxndr 3 points 2y ago
the ribbon is the caramel you put on top of the bottom layer before the blended portion, not the crunch topping
spicypotatogurl 3 points 2y ago
She probably just wants more layering of whipped cream and caramel drizzle to make it look more like a "ribbon"

I usually just repeat what I said the first time and add "perfect! If that's everything you can pull up to the window" then I turn off my mic.

Don't let them get to you. If they want to be miserable that's on them.

If y'all correct me, I figure what ever I think I said is not what actually came out of my mouth. I thank the batista for the help and say something like, "Oh, I'll try to remember that for next time. Thanks!"

You sound smart, classy, and polite! Thank you!

I didn't realize how much that would make my day until I read it. Thank you for your time.

When a customer is kind and nice, few and far between some times, when they ask for CRCF with no coffee or whip I just charge them for a CRF instead. But when they are like this doofus I charge for every single thing possible.

CRF? Creme?

A basic Carmel Frappuccino

Dude seriously they don't even know what they want but yell at you like it's your fault.

It’s still different from a caramel frap. It would still have the whip on the bottom and use the dark caramel sauce.
