Sorry for format, I’m on mobile
This happened yesterday. I stepped on the floor for my 8am morning shift, and this is the very first conversation I hear. Omitting names for labels :)
B: Barista S: Shift Supervisor C: Customer

C: *walks in to store* I just ordered a hot CHAI latte and this is a green tea!!! It is DISGUSTING!!!

B: Oh I’m really sorry, can you come over to the register? I can get you a recovery card and a brand new drink

-transaction happened, S comes to do the card and handle everything. It’s worth noting that this S is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met-

S: You can go stand by the end of the bar and we’ll have that out for you, sorry about that!

C: *doesn’t say anything, just stares at B making drink*

S: Excuse me ma’am? It would be great if you could stand at the end of the bar for us

C: You know what, I won’t do that. I’m going to stand here and make sure that you’re not going to SPIT in my drink

all of us: *collective confusion*

S: I can assure you, that won’t happen; no one is going to spit in your drink.

C: Uh huh sure, I’m going to make sure

And then she left with her drink. I really don’t understand people. I didn’t think that those type of interactions happened in real life. We were all stunned for the rest of our shifts

Maybe if you’re afraid someone will spit in your drink, you should be a little nicer ._. just a thought

same w us, this isn’t the first time its happened; a few weeks ago a guy insisted we make his drink in front of him since he was a “targeted minority” and was worried that we were going to spit in it. like in what world do people do that????
