Why is this legal (i.redd.it)

I wish they'd organizer the sticker machine in the steps we sequence, is that too much to ask

Ashesremindme 37 points 2y ago

I'm an ASU student taking the English composition class, and the first paper is supposed to be about a problem at work or in your community. I think if there's any way I can research efficiency or streamlining in a business, I'm going to make my paper about this. It's so frustrating on bar to have to sit and wade through all these modifications to make sure you don't miss anything. You'd think with Starbucks pushing being faster all the time, they'd make it easier for baristas to be fast by at minimum grouping things like syrups together on the stickers!

poetixvirgo 7 points 2y ago

Exactly, you want faster times then make it easier for us. I really hope the paper gets picked up some kind of way to those in charge

HippieinBlack 71 points 2y ago

At that point, they must be fucking with you. Can’t tell me that crap taste good

lily-amber 25 points 2y ago

looking at stickers like this makes me forget how to read.

I’ve never encountered anything like this at my store - we do get some disgusting/complicated concoctions but I don’t think I’ve ever come across one I thought was just bullshit - but I did see someone on here once said they usually set aside the sticker and ask them in person if they’re sure they wanted it made like that. Don’t let them run in and sheepishly take their stupid drink they aren’t even going to drink. Make them look you in the face and see the sticker and admit they just want something normal. This is just not worth the time to make for someone to either not show up or not drink their horrible “joke” drink.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

lelaluv 23 points 2y ago

i’m convinced people get a free drink and want to fuck with us or think of it as a prank like .... i know you’re not going to drink this 😐 i just know you aren’t

mradeline 29 points 2y ago

Before I was a barista I used to be worried I was being too difficult when I would use my free drinks for a venti soy iced chai with three added shots. I now realize how simple of a drink order that really is lol

buzzy9000 2 points 2y ago

same, I used to think wanting more than 2 modifiers was being awkward, especially after having to cut dairy ...then I saw this subreddit.

blahblahcapitalism 20 points 2y ago

it’s always the goddamn mobile orders

Arianasagapo 7 points 2y ago

No one would have the balls to order this with a straight face in person

mspattydotnet 17 points 2y ago

I pray I never get an order like this whenever I’m on cafe/mobile bar because they genuinely confuse the crap out of me. The sticker is so out of order I know I would miss and mess things up, although with these kinds of orders I guess would it really matter if I left our one of fourteen odd ball ingredients?

mysterious_yams 8 points 2y ago

To be fair if you missed something, I doubt they would notice

Edit: I should probably read your whole comment before replying...

*Me putting a single pump of everything we have in the drink and throwing at the customer*

Loughiepop 7 points 2y ago

I’m glad that he suggested light praline topping, light dark chocolate curls, light cascara topping, light hot sugar sprinkles, light cocoa powder, light salted brown butter topping, light cinnamon powder, light caramel drizzle, light mocha drizzle, light caramel brûlée topping, and light cinnamon dolce topping. You don’t want to go overboard.

brannaan 2 points 2y ago

the salted brown butter comes with the pistachio latte I believe lol. but agreed, wouldn’t want it to come out too sweet ya know?

the42ndfl00r 5 points 2y ago

I'd be there with a sharpie marking off the stuff I put in already

wheres_mayramaines 5 points 2y ago

RIP David

jams1015 5 points 2y ago

David lost a bet.

GracieofGraham 4 points 2y ago

1) Just, WHY ? Why do people order shit like this?

2) What does a drink with this many ingredients cost on average?

leslie_lester [OP] 10 points 2y ago

It was $11.65 I honestly thought it would be a $20 drink

shikiP 1 points 2y ago

1) either for stars. Like if they say you need to order a mocha but you dont want a mocha and want a vanilla latte or something then you'd rather pay it as a "mocha" with no mocha in it.

Or they like to drink shit. This picture I don't think was about stars.. but I think other pics posted here are because of the app challenges.

Gingerpunchurface 4 points 2y ago

People who order this kind of shit are God damn potatoes. Wtf

chowderchop 3 points 2y ago

Would they even notice if anything was off or missing? Probably not.

SierraLVX 1 points 2y ago

They did all that on MOBILE?!?? Jeesus, that's like four drinks worth of syrup!!!

darthtinmay 1 points 2y ago

I would walk out if I saw this or I would fight David to the death... there’s no in between

PhlyChef 1 points 2y ago

I woulda just gave him some coffee and sugar packets. But I’m not made for Starbucks.

buzzy9000 1 points 2y ago

is this starbucks version of the airport jungle juice?

Makorra45 1 points 2y ago

😰😣 this hurts too much. Ugh I hate this

theblondebarista 1 points 2y ago

They probably used a free drink

EmpressDaniQ 1 points 2y ago

I think this proves that there should be a cap on modifications for mobile orders.

timewarpkid 1 points 2y ago

What the fuck am I looking at here
Why don't they list the sticker by like syrup and topping

NyanBecca 1 points 2y ago

If I got this drink it would take everything in me to not just walk off bar

Tlw91 1 points 2y ago

They really said lets try almost every syrup, topping

oversoakedoreo 1 points 2y ago

What the fuuuuuck...
