hot frappuccinos... (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by canidieyet_
a lady came through today and ordered a caramel ribbon crunch and some other stuff. she gets to the window and pays, so when her drinks are done i hand them to her and she looks at the frap and says “oh i wanted this HOT”

i SWEAR i almost screamed. i spent a full TEN MINUTES explaining that, no, we can’t make the frappuccino hot (only for her to stare at me blankly and blink very slowly, as if trying to comprehend what i was saying) but she can ask for a latte w/ whip, dark caramel, caramel crunch topping and drizzle since that’s what is in the caramel ribbon crunch (i feel like this was the easiest solution to a hot frappuccino” 😩 that was too confusing though apparently and said she would just continue asking for a hot frappuccino

I get the inverse of this occasionally where someone asks for an iced cappuccino (yes I’m aware of the cold foam cap) but no that’s not what they wanted. I always say “you mean like a milkshake?” To try to clear things up at the register but am often also met with the blank gaze-slow blink. Lord only knows how this stuff happens.

i just don’t understand how people genuinely don’t understand the words “it’s an iced drink and don’t be made hot”

Tim Hortons, along with a couple other Starbucks competitors, have a blended beverage called an iced cappuccino.

We get that as well as customers trying to order McDonalds Frappes all the time at my location.

2 people asked me if a Frappuccino was cold yesterday and today another 2 people asked if we “still do frappes” I literally had to turn off my headset and let out the biggest sigh of my life before answering.

Or when people ask if the cold brew comes hot...I just say "the cold brew comes cold"

I sometimes wonder if people really have any clue at all what they are ordering
