Because Karen has always been able to get 1% milk and doesn’t understand that we never had it (i.redd.it)

We have a regular who chewed me out over not offering 1% anymore. She also loves complaining to corporate when her drink isn’t (I wish I was joking but she actually wants it at) 200 degrees. Jokes on her though, I’ve been giving her nonfat milk for YEARS.

Oh my god..your comment gave me a flashback to when I was on DTO and this man came through and he literally asked if he could get his coffee at « a million degrees ». I like most people- laughed because I thought he was joking...this man was not joking.. and in fact was dead serious. I had to tell him that our steamer couldn’t go that high and after a certain temperature it’s considered a burn hazard...he was disappointed and a little upset that we couldn’t steam it at a million degrees. And just ended it with « I just want my coffee hot. I like it hot hot. » and proceeds to proceeds to pull through. Like I’m sorry. You couldn’t possibly hold a coffee that hot let alone consume it. Plus you really think a barista will have the equipment available to actually produce that? Most of the time our store can’t even get proper sandwich bags.

I can't stop laughing at this, a MILLION DEGREES???
HollowRibcage 13 points 2y ago
Yes as insane as it sounds- the man did not appreciate my laughter when he asked it.

I mean, coffee can’t physically get close to that hot before it starts to evaporate.

It really makes me wonder how some people process things before they act on them.

I have always told people this line “ just to let you know, we don’t offer 1% kill so we will have to mix Nonfat and 2%. “. I never mix them. I used to I’m the very beginning but I realized that IT DOESNT FUCKKNG MATTER!! They CAN NOT tell the difference.

You’re not showcasing the real gem here—the discontinuation of the salted honey cold brew. Which in my honest opinion tasted like bad jizz.
ArcanistKvothe24 24 points 2y ago
I... nvm
ToritoBurito 16 points 2y ago
I’m sorry, it had to be said.

What does good jizz taste like
ebhanking 13 points 2y ago
Better than the salted honey cold brew

You mean we can’t give the customers what we don’t have??? And corporate is ok with this? It must be a 2020 thing.
hufflepuffisonfleek 42 points 2y ago
Im more excited that their discontinuing the salted honey.

But also yay no more 1% milk!!!!
thebeancakes 20 points 2y ago
Good riddance to salted honey cold foam. Semen topped coffee ain't it
cnc32 11 points 2y ago
Not what the post is about, but it's about time they discontinue the salted honey cold foam. I really didn't like it
kylakat13 6 points 2y ago
Let's be honest, who actually gave people 1%? Everyone at my store just did nonfat.
lachance99 2 points 2y ago
i always did half 2 percent and then non-fat💀
Kyenne_Pepper123 1 points 2y ago
I forgot we had the salted honey cold foam cold brew
JeromeBaritone -2 points 2y ago
I don’t understand I’m pretty sure you can go half nonfat and half 2% to get 1%... but okay.
chuhai-drinker 10 points 2y ago
You are right, but the problem with this is that it wastes time on bar... Like, fine, if you're ordering it outside of peak. But mixing half 2% and half nonfat during a rush consumes an unreasonable amount of production time for the barista for a taste/fat content that is negligible.

Why did starbucks get rid of 1% milk?
kylelovershrek2 27 points 2y ago
maybe because 1% milk shouldn't exist
averyhoughton -36 points 2y ago
Well it does exist! I literally drink 1% milk from the store everyday!
kylelovershrek2 21 points 2y ago
what is wrong with you
averyhoughton -29 points 2y ago
Well I’m sorry if I like milk!!!
Hyperioncorp 10 points 2y ago
Are you in Canada?? Afaik no stores in the US carry 1% milk.
maddnannie 13 points 2y ago
Canadian ones don't have it either. We eyeball 2% and nonfat
averyhoughton 0 points 2y ago
No not from starbucks from like the grocery store!
nobullshitplz 9 points 2y ago
If you can read, then you would’ve saw that Starbucks never actually had it
averyhoughton 0 points 2y ago
Yes ik but why would you have a 1% milk button if you don’t have it? That’s just stupid
