Teeny tall rant (self.starbucksbaristas)

I worked red cup launch day and it was hell all day long. I was never more thankful to be POS/CS for the morning haha. I worked an extra hour of my seven hour shift with only a 10 and a 30. Anyways, i had a shorter shift today but i was so done the whole day. It was fine, but i also was working with super new green beans so everything went a bit slower. I'm only a month in so i understand what it's like to be new, just hard when you're just barely learning things and you're the only support lol. Anyways I was working bar this afternoon and just making drinks, and we ran out of eggnog so my SSV who was on register/ovens made some more for us while we worked bar. I had a lady come over and ask me where her cake pops were, and i said, maam i only make drinks right now and I'm not in charge of food. We are really busy as you can see, so im sure they will be out shortly. Well about a minute later she comes BACK to me while im obviously making drinks, and demands her cake pops be made right that second, and i was like hey, sorry we have been really busy and haven't gotten to it yet! Maybe just ask up front and see if theyre ready! And to that she responds, super sarcastic, thanks, now my drink is going to be WATERY by the time i get home! I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Laugh because that was such a minor thing to be so angry about and nobody was stopping her from enjoying her drink while she waited for her food, and cry because i just wanted to go home and not make another fucking sweet cream cold foam drink. 🤮😂

Fellow baristas, what's the stupidest thing a customer has chosen to complain about?

stupidest thing to complain about? one is definitely when a woman demanded free food because she ate her banana bread and cake pops while waiting on her drinks...that i was putting in a drink carrier. she ate them literally as soon as i handed them to her which i’ve done that too, but she demanded that i giver her new food because “she had nothing to wash the cake pops down with and i should be ashamed of myself” like?? you’re an ADULT, don’t get mad at me because you have no self control 🥴

Oh my gosh. You win lmao I love that she had the audacity to complain after she scarfed her food down. I swear Starbucks customers are a different breed of stupid 😂

Lady had me remake her free water 3 (!) times. First time there was not enough ice. Second time there was too much water (she wanted the cup completely full of ice and just like 2 inches of water). And then the cup was too wet (because of condensation).

2 inches is 5.08 cm

I had a customer ask for a ‘not smashed’ double smoked bacon sandwich....which when I threw it away it didn’t look smashed to me. Looked like it had been taken from an oven with a pair of tongs 🤷‍♀️
