Orders that make brain go brr(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Raq-attack
Does anyone else have that regular customer who comes in and gets an order that just shuts off your brain? You completely blank out on how to do it and it makes you super stressed?

Basically anything before 7am that has more than 2-3 modifications.
I swear when I pull a sticker with a novel written on it and I’m trying to figure out where to start my brain just shorts out sometimes.

Yes. We have a couple regulars that refuse to give up ordering the Coconutmilk Mocha Macchiato.
However, the part that really hurts your brain is they not only expect us to know the recipe to a drink that was discontinued before any of us were hired. They *also* expect us to remember their additional modifications/customizations. The sticker that prints out is really hard to navigate.

The cold foam on hot drinks has me up at arms, like just get whip, it is the same thing and we don't charge you extra for it lolol!

we'd get these regulars through drive through (same car) and they'd both get a dark chocolate almond milk foam cold brew, but with different mods. One would get extra pumps of mocha and coconut milk. The other would also modify their drink \*and\* the foam itself so it would be suuuuuper confusing, and get extra foam, of course.
It'd take a couple repeats for us to get the order confirmed at the box, then it would be another round of q&a between DTO & the barista (if they had missed it when it was ordered). UGH.

Omg that hurts my brain it’s horrible when people add cold foam to drinks it makes everything unnecessarily harder than it has to be!! And it slows everything down when u have to clarify !!

We have a regular who gets two mistos with like 8 shots and sweet cream and all kinds of syrups, and another who gets a like 12 blonde shot ice caramel macchiato with extra whip in a trenta and she is VERY particular about the caramel and all that and will make you remake it. Always both of them during peak, kill me

This lady gets a trenta passion tea with 8 equals, 8 pumps of liquid cane, and 8 pumps of raspberry. Ill get in the zone and get that drink and be stuck.
