Lovely customer note. Only TX Sbux open in the area, we’ve been swamped (i.redd.it)

Should respond “ask customers to stop the bitching and complaining”

A decaf Americano in a hot cup with cold water.

ahh entitlement... it never changes

Passive agressive me would put up a sign "No compassion toward baristas? No coffee for you."
cs_phoenix 21 points 2y ago
Hey I mean this note pretty much violates the newer third place policy so it’s totally reasonable to deny her service!
Serienmae 54 points 2y ago
I feel your pain, are you guys starting to run out of stuff too? Im in a licensed kiosk in a grocery store here in tx and its been a little rough lol.
Webshooter38 23 points 2y ago
I'm same as you. Our supplies didn't come in and our mastrena broke down on top of that. I guess it couldn't handle the nonstop line
deeciphered 6 points 2y ago
Oh my god your poor mastrena!
FairMaidenRiverMouth 1 points 2y ago
Feel ya. Our order got canceled from the storm and we are SOL until next Thursday. But heaven forbid we have problems.
deeciphered 8 points 2y ago
Oh god I worked in a licensed store for 9 months before moving over to corporate and we had enough issues getting inventory before this whole thing. I can’t even imagine. Good luck with everything!
Serienmae 4 points 2y ago
Thanks!, we are nearly out of caramel drizzle so we might need it
deeciphered 6 points 2y ago
Oh god! The tik tok drink crowd will riot

Sounds like a Texan. About as self aware as a blind armadillo in marshmallow factory in a hurricane.
xenotiff 25 points 2y ago
Bless her heart. [heavy southern /s intensifies]
plushiequeenaspen 10 points 2y ago
I promise we aren't all shitty 😭😭 but also I'm dying at your comparison a marshmallow factory in a hurricane 😂
Dharmadragqueen 4 points 2y ago
Thank you. Born and raised in Houston. There are tons of decent folk there. That’s why I left.
Herry_Up 1 points 2y ago
Psst, not all of us.
emosweatshirt 45 points 2y ago
what an awful person, sending you love and hugs :( we do way too much work for such little appreciation and crap wages. we deserve so much more
Js_On_My_Yeet 34 points 2y ago
Tell the customers to grow some common sense and understand what logic is 🙃

We are at a Starget (Sbux in target) in MO and our distribution center is in Texas. We are out of vanilla, Strawberry Acai, Dragon Fruit bits, peach, white mocha and a few other things as well.


People are so pissed at us "Well why is your distribution center in Texas?!" Like I know!
King_Spamula 29 points 2y ago
I prefer to call Target Starbucks locations as Tarbucks

There's a nation wide shortage on all refreshers
Tall_Draw_521 20 points 2y ago
Boooooo
beaudebonair 19 points 2y ago
They actually cut out a heart to do that, wow and such nice cursive for such an awful bitch themselves lol, sorry for ya!
lvbni 15 points 2y ago
Looks like a heart-shaped (in the factory) note paper to me, meaning, it came that way.

Nevertheless, fuck her.
V-lop [OP] 5 points 2y ago
Yeah, they’re heart-shaped. My SM left them out for Valentine’s Day so customers could leave us notes. Most of them were genuinely nice though!
lvbni 2 points 2y ago
Takes a special kind of asshole to seize an opportunity intended to spread kindness to instead shit on some long-suffering service workers..
Fukitol_Bourbon 15 points 2y ago
"I'm sorry for bitchin', but bitchin' is what I do! If you want me to stop bitching then got on bar 2"

A song I sing in my head!
dayahorne 14 points 2y ago
I really wonder what these people do for a living or whatever because it's obvious this person doesn't work in costumer service. Even if they don't work in customer service, how do people go through life thinking like this?
cdog141 11 points 2y ago
Decaf em
jas0nd3an 10 points 2y ago
Fuck em. And fuck corporate and fuck management for not protecting you. I used to be the guy that would have to protect partners from dickhead customers. I was always asked to go to the handoff or the drive window when people were jerks. It kind of stops them when they were talking shit to a 100 lb girl and all of a sudden a 210 lb dude with muscles and a giant beard is standing there. They change up real quick. I had a dude launch a sandwich at me one time. When he saw me turn my head and realized I knew it was him he literally ran outta the store. People are assholes. I always used to tell my partners that would get upset “hey, it’s just coffee and these people don’t matter. Just laugh at them. Because you’d never act like that. Think about how ridiculous they are.” Would usually get them smiling again.
lewabwee 3 points 2y ago
I’m a pretty lanky dude but customers are still much nicer to me than they are to small girls. It’s absolutely fucking cowardly and beyond pathetic.
CobaltLemon 10 points 2y ago
Sorry we’re all lazy millennials here we can’t read cursive. /s
doodlebug72898 2 points 2y ago
Ooooo, that's what you should really respond with! Put it on another heart directly underneath this one.
SillyD19 7 points 2y ago
Sending love & strength to all the baristas in Texas!
NervosaNervous 7 points 2y ago
I’d rip it right up in front of her and refuse her service.
philosopher_cat_lady 5 points 2y ago
Entitled, asshole customers can go fuck themselves
Tania1290 4 points 2y ago
Hey!! What do you mean? We don’t complain when you tip!!
butterflyloach 4 points 2y ago
i feel you, we are out of all non dairy milks, caramel drizzle, 10ish syrups, sleeves, stoppers, short cups, and more and so many people were mean today
corvsglaiv 3 points 2y ago
Imagine pulling out a heart shaped sticky note pad just to write this foul note and actually hand it off to someone who’s making your order? Must be miserable in her own life
greyplains 3 points 2y ago
May this customer have the day they deserve...
misodeadinside 3 points 2y ago
I’d give them the most deadly glare and just walk away. Honestly how can people have their head up their arse and not see how busy the store is?? How stressful it can get when there is a million people in the lobby for cafe and mobile. Plus having to do drive thru? Come on people, we are human too.

Texas store here too. I feel the pain and appreciate you guys.
BlondeBeast96 2 points 2y ago
I read this as “batching” and complaining... which also makes sense tbf.
leekyabloh 2 points 2y ago
fuck dat bitch
thatrandomguy565 1 points 2y ago
My faith in humanity card was just revoked seeing this
Month_Puzzleheaded 1 points 2y ago
I’m sorry that you guys have to put up with such entitled crappy people, they should be thankful for your store being open instead of making you all miserable. Those a-holes always forget that we are humans too and probably going through the same stuff or worse than they are.
