Blending and double blending should be an upcharge (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by RoaringDragonite
Dear god please put a blend button on the customization page. If we are gonna have all the basic customers order something blended then can we at least charge them for it?

Right??? And so many of them complain if I don't add the creme base, but there's no way to add it as a charge, so we're literally going through b o t t l e s of it unaccounted for.

Ring it as a custom frap if they want base!! That’s standard

Omg I had no idea that button exists. Gotcha!!

I dont add it. I blend it as is. Its actually not that bad.

If they want a blended ice coffee, cold brew, latte, refresher, I blend it with all the standard ingredients.

It's not something I do automatically, it's something I don't do and they complain :( It separates so quickly that unless they take it immediately it's usually a complaint.

Especially because people abuse it to create their knock-off frapps. I think if they want something blended with base so that it resembles a frapp, they should then be charged for a frapp. Things are priced how they are because of labor and product, and a faux frapp takes as much labor and product as a regular frapp.

I absolutely agree with this. Anything blended should be charged as a frappe. Because the time it takes to make

The only thing that throws me off about this is me trying to keep my line voids down and they sooooo often say “blended” at the very end of all their ridiculous customizations

for “blended pink drinks” and whatever else we ring them in as fancy ass syrup creme frappuccinos. then there’s a charge for the blending

Anything additional that slows down the line should have an upcharge.

Fun fact! I was told if you blend blended refreshers on setting #3 the texture holds better

I genuinely do not care about making these people’s drinks better when they’re screwing us over for social media points.

I do add syrup when I’m blending something that doesn’t come blended normally because of the coffee or creme Frappuccino syrup you have to put in to blend it

I was told that we aren’t allowed to do that. Adding additional ingredients to a drink messes with the nutritional facts posted on the app. Unless they ask for the extra syrup we aren’t suppose to just add it

I work at Tarbucks so I might be doing that right
