I hate it here. I made this drink and the customer didn't show up for 5 hours, so I threw it out. Then she came through 30 MINUTES later and wanted her drink and I had to remake it. See if you can top this drink with your most complicated order you've made.

Ugh you should have like a 2 hour window. Why the hell are you five hours late anyway?

Oh I forgot to add light ice do you mind remaking it?

worst part is they show up HOURS late and have the audacity to be upset when we have to remake it because “it should have already been made”

i would’ve told her she had to reorder it tbh, 5 hours is absolutely ridiculous

My irrational stress over how annoying I am to my Starbucks barista rents far too much space in my head. Can we settle this once and for all? Here’s my order:
Grande caramel frappe with three shots of espresso and no whipped cream in a Venti cup.
Lay it on me. How cringey do I sound when I order this? Do you guys roll your eyes at me in disgust? If so, I don’t blame you. But it’s just *so delicious*!! Even my own shame over this level of entitlement is not a sufficient deterrent.
— Sidenote: I usually acknowledge that my order is complicated and make some sort of apology. Especially if there is anyone else with me, adding more customized orders... in which case I blush and beg forgiveness for being weak and bougie...

I’m gonna be real it’s pretty annoying but not for the reason that’s it’s over complicated. See the thing is when ur adding espresso to ur frapp, especially three shots of espresso, it’s gonna change the consistency of the drink. Like personally I’d add extra ice to your drink but any barista is going to make diff choices to compensate for that extra liquid. Also Frappuccino’s are time consuming to make & caramel frapps are basic lol. But it’s not complicated to ring up or anything, making the actual drink can be somewhat complicated. I’d recommend the iced lattes with extra shots (blonde ristretto shots are always good). You can order a plain caramel latte or right now we have caramel brûlée as a seasonal flavor.

Also the caramel brûlée is EVERYthing. This morning I had a grande caramel brûlée frappe with three shots of espresso in a venti cup. And I know for a FACT I annoyed them today because she was confused and asked if I wanted extra ice exactly like you said. *sigh* Time to try something new...

Omg same I’m so obsessed it’s been my go to since we got the seasonal syrups. It’s heavenly:) I love the sugar topping
lowlow_dolo 2 points 2y ago
Oh okay! I’ll try that then!! If it matters at all I never ever complain about my drink and for the reasons you mentioned above, it comes out different every time. Sometimes is PERFECT... sometimes not... but I expect that may happen with an obnoxious order like mine. Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll def try them out.

What kind of human being can consume this? Just the pumps alone is around 740 calories and 185g of sugar. Someones pancreas is just going to say "Fuck this shit! I quit!" one day.

Policy is that drinks get thrown out after 30 minutes. I often save the stickers for another 2 hours after that just in case, but the drinks go after 30. If you show up 30 minutes after you order, I'm remaking your drink and explaining to you EXACTLY why that happened.

You guys are open until midnight? Or 24 hours maybe?
