today I got a mobile order for a venti latte with the "in a venti cup" modifier. thank god, cause I was just going to pour it directly into her mouth

we had a mobile come through the other day for a trenta refresher...in a tall cup
BlooperBoo 1 points 2y ago
We got a grande in a tall cup but I put it in a venti cup bc I assumed it was a mistake. No, it was not. Yes, the guy knew talls were smaller. Okay dude.

I got an almond milk mocha a few days ago with no whip and no mocha. Some people are so stubborn about being right...
Arianasagapo [OP] 24 points 2y ago
Let me just pull some mocha flavored almond milk out of my ASS
matroid21 20 points 2y ago
Hey now, I don’t think anyone wants that kind of mocha.

I got a caramel macchiato, no caramel drizzle... the customer refused the front register barista's suggestion for an upside down vanilla latte... I mean, I guess it's her right to waste money?

I also today, same day, got a vanilla sweet cream cold brew, no sweet cream
crzyshiba 9 points 2y ago
HH I did that to a customer and she got soo offended “ ummm no I just want no caramel drizzle“ umm ok
hecaete47 17 points 2y ago
When I once got an order like that, I carefully explained it after getting turned down for an upside-down vanilla latte like, "The caramel macchiato is vanilla syrup, milk, espresso shots, and caramel drizzle. A vanilla latte is vanlla syrup, espresso shots, and milk. Upside-down means I'll put the shots on top. It will save you money if I ring it in as an upside down vanilla latte." Once I spelled out the ingredients, she finally understood lol. But we were also trying to stall at DTO to give DT bar time to catch up which is why I took that time.

How are those two different from the regular latte? Just curious...
hecaete47 9 points 2y ago
Pretty much only where the shots go. Starbucks' latte macchiato or upside-down latte are pretty much just with the shots over the milk. So, in those two drinks, it goes: syrup, milk, shots, topping (like caramel drizzle). In a regular latte, it goes: syrup, shots, milk, topping.

One of the green beans kept ringing in non fat lattes today as the skinny syrup latte with no syrup and I'm still upset.
ConfusedByFarts 12 points 2y ago
Our store kinda has an agreement that skinny syrup latte automatically means skinny vanilla otherwise we use the button for skinny cinnamon dolce. The fact that there’s still no a skinny vanilla button is an outrage
westhawk777 5 points 2y ago
us too but our SM was like please charge them for the syrup lol
scubasteve567 3 points 2y ago
They automatically get charged for syrup once you hit skinny latte

This has me cackling 😭
crzyshiba 11 points 2y ago
So a latte with whip cream
Arianasagapo [OP] 4 points 2y ago
Essentially, yes
dalenakitty 8 points 2y ago
I've had a ton of people order caramel frapps and get no caramel syrup or sauce and sub other stuff... I'm just like ????? I also have a guy who gets a caramel macchiato with no vanilla or caramel sauce. I've told him so many times to just get an upside down latte and it will save him money, yet I see the same sticker print out of mobile every morning lmao.
Arianasagapo [OP] 11 points 2y ago
I don’t care enough to correct the stubborn people. If they wanna pay more, it’s really not my problem. Especially if they’re gonna be jerks about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ladyelenawf 2 points 2y ago
So, I just looked & must have missed it. How are you supposed to choose "upside-down" in the app?
dalenakitty 2 points 2y ago
It's under the shot prep section.
ladyelenawf 1 points 2y ago
Thank you very much!
dalenakitty 2 points 2y ago
No problem!

We’ve been getting a lot of these “no mocha” hot chocolates and mochas. I’m genuinely curious as to what they want. We got a hot chocolate with no mocha last time for an Uber eats order and we just gave them some steamed milk. I’m sure they paid $20 for two short cups of milk
JHOOOOBI 1 points 2y ago
Seriously just buy a latte dude. That’s what you’re getting🙄. Sometimes I miss being a barista, and then I remember this kinda stupidity exists.
BruhH0neyBruh 1 points 2y ago
If we educate them and they wanna dump more money to our bosses? Job. Security.

It's a latte having a mid life crisis
