So it’s overpriced Steamed milk?

jams1015 75 points 2y ago

With extra whipped cream.

iqueefkief 6 points 2y ago

vanilla is in the recipe as well, maybe he doesn’t know how to order a steamer

darkwolf523 28 points 2y ago

No it’s not. Not anymore. They changed that

iqueefkief 4 points 2y ago

damn, quit working there 4 months ago after a 5 year run due to the pandemic. figures. customers prob don’t even notice the difference anyhow

darkwolf523 4 points 2y ago

Don’t think it matters. Then again, I don’t drink hot chocolate

strawbubbie_ [OP] 54 points 2y ago

for those wanting an update- we didn’t make the drink till they came to pick it up. turns out they wanted a white hot chocolate but didn’t know how to order one in the app ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

NapalmBarista 44 points 2y ago

did he come in for that steamed milk yet? what’d he say?

strawbubbie_ [OP] 98 points 2y ago

he wanted a white hot chocolate but didn’t know how to order one in the app lol

ahhpoo 74 points 2y ago

I literally just checked and there are only 3 items under the hot chocolates. One being the hot white chocolate. These customers lol

xEman26x 8 points 2y ago

You don’t understand how many times I’ve had customers complain about their item not being ready but they never clicked “confirm order”

scoot_the_poet 19 points 2y ago

Probably one of those doofuses who sees “mocha” and immediately assumes coffee

dahmerpalms 5 points 2y ago

Mocha is highly associated with coffee and used to be an actual type of coffee so it’s really not strange to assume that... lmao

isglitteracolor 5 points 2y ago

Had a lady order a mochaccino a few days ago. A latte. She wanted a plain latte.

howdudo 3 points 2y ago

lollll now that is a customer

jocaseyjo 13 points 2y ago

So they want a vanilla steamer?

Higgins_is_Here 30 points 2y ago

There's no vanilla in hot chocolate anymore.

sparkytheboomman 13 points 2y ago

Really? I’ve definitely made a lot of hot chocolates wrong then ._.

Higgins_is_Here 14 points 2y ago

Yeah, at least in the US. No worries, it's probably your boss's fault you don't know. But I wouldn't make it with vanilla anymore to line up with nutrition facts.

its_Lydia_ 12 points 2y ago

We just changed it like In the fall update so it’s kinda new. Also I often convince people to ask for it to have the Vanilla still cause it tastes so much better that way 😂😬

jocaseyjo 1 points 2y ago

Ahhhhh I see. I quit like a month before the fall launch lol

sugartea63 7 points 2y ago

It is in Switzerland

rudebii 2 points 2y ago

really? since when?

halfyellow 9 points 2y ago

hot chocolates don't get vanilla anymore 🙃

asst2therglmgr 3 points 2y ago

Nobody seems to know what these are anymore. I don't know that you can them through the app though?

jocaseyjo 4 points 2y ago

There’s one of the food delivery apps like Uber Eats or Postmates that has them listed in my area. They’re called “crème” in the app.

asst2therglmgr 3 points 2y ago

That makes sense. They’re actually rung in on reg with the “syrup creme” button.

BaroquesCafe 11 points 2y ago

This is definitely one of those things where they don’t know how to order it on mobile 😅

pres_ofcanada 9 points 2y ago

Can I trouble you for a glass of warm milk? It helps me go to sleep

haileybelle26 6 points 2y ago

he need some milk

Laneytann 5 points 2y ago

He need some milk

StarPeachSquid 5 points 2y ago

I’m surprised it doesn’t say “No 2% Milk”

rollerderbydyke 3 points 2y ago

HE NEEDS SOME MILK

fvckjvckie 3 points 2y ago

I would say that’s a vanilla steamer but we don’t even put vanilla in anymore 😭

cristianap36 2 points 2y ago

Oh yea its big brain time

kaiyohan01 2 points 2y ago

i have a regular that orders a venti hot chocolate, nf milk, no vanilla, no whip, stirred, no foam, at 170 degrees. and then she’d take that hot ass flavorless watery powder and down it... disgusting

kmoonster 1 points 2y ago

He may not be aware that mocha is the chocolate. It is fairly common for people to think it is a drink and not a flavoring, meaning that it contains substantial amounts of caffiene.

When he comes, clarify with him what he is looking for and offer to remake the drink if my hunch was correct.

edit: and then I read the thread, the point to clarify still stands whether for white mocha or caffeine confusion.

teet_teet 3 points 2y ago

Ok so this is what I always assume— and EVERY SINGLE TIME the customer says “I KNOW” and I’m like ok.

mcdermottbobby 1 points 2y ago

Who hurt him?

rosegoldhiips 1 points 2y ago

I would let Alexander know he may have overpaid for what's just steamed milk with whipped cream 😭 but then again I don't think you can order just steamed milk through the app 😅

asst2therglmgr -72 points 2y ago

That's not very nice of the barista. You know it's steamed milk with whip yet you go ahead and charge them for a Hot Chocolate?

squidmammal 52 points 2y ago

He placed the order from his phone

asst2therglmgr -25 points 2y ago

I tend to skim and missed that.

Charimia -23 points 2y ago

Also, it’s steamed milk with vanilla and whip. Not just steamed milk.

Edit: Okay, it seems I’m wrong about the vanilla. I guess my sm either never got the memo or just didn’t care to make sure we were all told (a legitimate possibility). Our recipe cards even still have vanilla, but I’m not sure when they were updated last.

BaroquesCafe 15 points 2y ago

They actually took the vanilla out of the hot chocolate recipes 😶. In America at least

Charimia 1 points 2y ago

Oh, really? I wonder when, I don’t recall ever seeing that.

BaroquesCafe 2 points 2y ago

It was in one of the weekly updates, I believe around July-August time.

asst2therglmgr -23 points 2y ago

So a steamer. Not a hot chocolate.

Alohomora420 23 points 2y ago

It’s literally a mobile order. This customer placed the order himself

asst2therglmgr -22 points 2y ago

I literally already addressed this so maybe you should literally read comments before literally posting your own literally all willy nilly.
