“What keto drinks do you have?”
We aren’t trained to know that and most of us have no idea. If you’re trying to be keto Starbucks shouldn’t be your first option unless you just want a black coffee, 90% our drinks are loaded with sugar.
“Can I get [*secret menu drink*]?” Without a recipe and expecting us To know what it is.
Again, we have no idea what it is.

“can I get extra caramel drizzle but not too much, just like medium extra?” ~in drive thru~ “what kind of tumblers do you have? can you bring them up here so I can see them” “do you have the tiktok drink?”

“What type of bread is that?” When referring to the breakfast sandwiches.... I have no clue does it really matter??
And this is my personal opinion, but I don’t like chocolate or eggs or cheese and 9 times out of 10 I only drink refreshers so I don’t like when people ask me to describe what our lattes taste like or how do the sandwiches taste because I don’t have an answer for them except “well I don’t like them but it’s pretty popular” lol

Omg yes when people ask “do you like this drink?”
Well no I don’t but not everyone likes the same things! My tastes aren’t the same as yours! I hate white mocha but it’s one of the most popular drinks!

i hate when people ask me if a drink is good because i feel like i could get in trouble if i say “oh no i don’t like it!” so i just say i haven’t tried it and that “we sell it quite a bit!” haha

“Why isn’t my drink ready yet”, “is this mine” (pointing to a different size and temperature drink than theirs) “why is x so expensive?”

Customers asking me to remake their free water because they are unhappy with the (standard) amount of ice. Also had one lady to tell me to wipe off the cup because it was 'too wet'. You k now, because of condensation.

"Can you surprise me with your favorite drink!" and then I do... and they hate it, get annoyed/mad at me, and want a refund... like...u asked.

asking to blend a cake pop in their frappuccino’s, “is this mine” when your name is on the cup and i just yelled your name out with the drink you ordered, “what do you recommend” with no insight on what flavors you like
