It doesn’t mean coffee but from my understanding, the POS system labels the coffee chocolate drinks as mocha and the non coffee ones as chocolate. Like the Mocha Frappuccino with Coffee is “Mocha Frappuccino” but the Chocolate Crème Frappuccino is labeled “Chocolate Frappuccino”

Had a guy ask for the white mocha with sweet cream with less coffee. I responded with my default, "So, the normal is three shots of espresso, how many would you like?" His response, "Why are you talking about espresso, I want a white mocha not espresso." I try to explain, "Yeah, the white mocha has espresso in it," and he cuts me off, yelling about how he didn't ask for espresso, he wants a white mocha with less coffee. First car of my shift, really set the tone for the day.

brings back memories of a time when I was a closer. It was so busy I ran out of mocha and since I was by myself I couldn’t make another one. 2 minutes before close a man came in and I told him I had run out of mocha. He said “that’s okay. I want CHOCOLATE “ 🙃

I would've just dumped some bar cocoa powder in it with hot water and locked the doors

Man I swear to Glob the minute you says "I'm out of mocha" the the exact moment ppl don't understand what chocolate is and also the point where sanity breaks (I had a woman start crying. Like grown ass 45 year old with the Karen haircut, I didn't know what to do)
'ill have a caramel mocha then....oh okay a mocha frappe...oh. okay a hot chocolate! " 😭

Listen, I cried one day because the KFC/LJS combo didn’t have Sweet and Sour. I was so exited to finally find a LJS after I moved and was so disappointed they only had KFC sides. Then now S&S. I just broke down. 😂😂
Sometimes dumb things make you cry rather what’s really bothering you.

I agree that a lot of the time there's underlying reasons for people's reactions, but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar lol
The city I live in has a very high poverty and homeless rate, a lot of addiction and virtually no middle class just poverty and wealthy. It's hard not to shake your head at people who have their day ruined by one particular coffee shop not having chocolate when there's three other Starbucks withing 5 minute drive and around 10 (imo better) local coffee shops that can offer you the chocolately drank of your dreams lol. This lady was driving a very nice vechile and had options, I just have a really hard time wrapping my brain around crying over an over priced drink when there's still other options to get the exact drink you want or other very similar options especially when people 20 feet away from you that can't afford to eat that day , that's my shitty bias though. I need to remind myself that suffering is suffering ...either way I'm sorry you didn't get your sauce and hope you're one day able to enjoy the sides of your choosing

I had a woman ask me how to find a mocha on the app, and I told her and she said “oh but that says caffe mocha” and I just didn’t know how to respond
hailvy 2 points 2y ago
It’s like when people ask for a caffe latte and I type it in, and they get upset when the screen says latte and not caffe latte -.-
blueravefox 15 points 2y ago

proletarithot [OP] 14 points 2y ago
Me listening to other partners over-explaining drinks: pls just say “ok” and send the order
skagod02 8 points 2y ago
“I want a latte with white chocolate... NOT. a mocha. A latte. Please.” “Ok no problem” “make sure it’s NOT a mocha I want a latte with white chocolate” like ok karen that’s exactly the same thing but go off lmfao
tang0foxtr0t 8 points 2y ago
She probably things it’ll be cheaper if you put it in like that or something. Jokes on her.
skagod02 2 points 2y ago
Lol she came back today, my coworker with more patience than I have explained that it’s the same but more expensive, she still insisted on getting the latte 🤣
moderncarrot 7 points 2y ago

Starbucks pretty much means coffee or tea. Go to 711 or Baskin Robbins for a sweet drink 😱🤯

I wish you were right, but if you look at our menu you're wrong... The menu, and our orders, are mostly just sugar overload

Oh my gosh I didn’t know this was a thing. But the other day a guy was yelling at me that he wanted a hot mocha with no coffee
“NO ESPRESSO JUST MOCHA ABSOLUTELY NO COFFEE JUST CHOCOLATE”
“...so you want a hot chocolate?”

Oh my god. One time this woman came in and ordered a white chocolate mocha and my coworker... made it and called it out as a “white mocha”. The lady says “I wanted the white chocolate not the white mocha.”
My coworker tried so hard to explain to her that it was the same thing and she was so extremely nice about it too but this lady would not have it. I think she had it out for my coworker because she pointed to me and said “can you have her make it”. So I make a white mocha, exactly like my coworker had made and hand it off. She makes a point to thank me and walks off with it. Wtf?????
