May I have a little green sword? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by RainOreShineDTLA
The other day I had a customer ask for a little green sword. I immediately knew he was talking about a stopper. It’s the little things that make my day 🥲

That’s hilarious! I love that. The other day some guy asked for a “4 by 4.” We were all so confused and he said it so confidently. We asked him what that was and it it was 4 espresso shots and 4 pumps of white mocha. Like how were we supposed to know what that was😭

People come and order real coffee shop shit like cordada or horchata or whatever else and we have to be like ma’am this is basically fast food

One time someone asked if we bake everything here at the store, like sir noo

Omg I had a woman get mad because she though we gave her a raw cake pop and she just couldn’t believe that they aren’t baked in store

My niece calls them swords too. And I believe she’s stashed some away for play with her barbies and dudes.

When we go to my store and we’re out of ‘swords’ her face looks like someone just killed her favorite pet. It’s kinda hilarious.

One of my customers referred to it as a “plunger” and I’ve never been more disgusted 😂

Someone asked for a T.I. dark roast. I thought it was like some tiktok thing T.I. started.
Guy just read the sticker wrong and thought the lowrcase l was an uppercase I
