SO I ALMOST LAUGHED IN HIS FACE (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by sunflower_0053
A man pulled up to the window and had ordered 2 pumpkin lattes one hot one iced. The drinks were out of his sight and as I went to return him his card he looks me dead in the eyes and asks me with a straight face,

"How will I know which one is hot and wich one is iced"

I didnt even respond to afraid that making a sound would trigger the laugh I was trying to hold down.

I handed him the tray and he goes

"Oh shit there in diferent cups cool!"

And I ran from the window to the back were I couldn't stop laughing for 30 minutes. Jesus what is wrong with people.

Maybe they were sleepy, but people can really be that dumb. At my old job in a drive thru a woman asked which drink was the diet one. She ordered only one drink.

When I was a barista I had a woman ask for iced hot chocolate. I couldn't help but just go "...so chocolate milk?"

Oh no frozen hot chocolate is a thing. Second cup in Canada (and a few random local places I've found them to) has them and they are AMAZING!! You can find lots of recipes on line. Its more a hot chocolate frap, not just chocolate milk. My favourite is the chocolate with vanilla bean they were my "fancy coffee drink" when I was kid.

Definitely agree frozen hot chocolate is taaaasty.

But, yeah, she didn't want frozen, she wanted iced. I definitely remember asking if she wanted a double chip frappuccino but she wanted iced hot chocolate. When I was working at sbux the recipe for hot chocolate and the chocolate milk for kids was pretty much the same, just one steamed milk and one not.

I had that a couple times, but I'd just read it back as "chocolate milk" and the look of "aw fuck" on their faces was the best

Ahhh I love that 😂. I had never heard it before and it took me by such surprise all I could do was ask the question "so like, milk?"

There is an idiot born every min. Working in customer services proves that.

I had a lady ask me this once at the handoff counter WHILE she was looking right at the drinks. I didn’t know how to answer it without sounding like an asshole, so I was just like “Well, the cold one feels cold, and the hot one will be hot.” She goes, “Oh, okay” and then picks them up, still looking puzzled. This was probably around 3 years ago now. I still wonder about her sometimes. I hope she’s doing okay in life.

I have said stuff similar just to get employees at places to laugh when they seem like they are having a rough day, it's small enough that it doesn't inconvenience anyone but usually makes them smile atleast.

What did they say??
Philostic 12 points 2y ago
One drink is hot and one is cold.. It shouldn't be too difficult to tell the difference once you've got them in your hands.
