submitted by jackal_bee

yukhentai 120 points 2y ago

i find often with these mobiles its bc people dont know that mocha is the sauce and is not coffee..

M_Night_Sammich 1 points 2y ago

YES. Similarly I’ll have people ask for a hot chocolate with espresso, or a mocha latte without espresso

Stovetopstuffnbox 82 points 2y ago

With whip

InsertAliasHere7589 10 points 2y ago

With whip Mr Squidward; with whip..

fairygrrl666 58 points 2y ago

Once someone called and asked if we sold boiled milk

collusion54 37 points 2y ago

That’s sounds like a parent of a baby or toddler that is in a desperate situation and needs some hot milk ASAP

frenchfrygirll 16 points 2y ago

I'm trying to think of an instance where you would serve a child boiled milk.

therealmegluvsu 18 points 2y ago

It's a relic from days past. Before we had stricter pasteurizing rules for dairy products, milk sometimes contained dangerous bacteria that little babies weren't able to fight off like adults could. Parents would boil the milk to sterilize it, like you would boil unsafe water. It's one of those rules that doesn't really hurt to follow, but isn't necessary anymore.

collusion54 6 points 2y ago

I imagine it would start as boiled to get it hot and then served as warm

Khmera 1 points 2y ago

Warm milk also helps people fall asleep better. Maybe this parent thought it could help? Edit: something to do with the enzymes, I believe.

lilkiosk 49 points 2y ago

Reminds me of the man who ordered a white hot chocolate and was upset it was white and said I just gave him milk. So in my true, spiteful nature I filled his tall cup with 12 pumps of mocha for a new hot chocolate :) it’s not just milk now, is it?

throwawaygarbage3333 15 points 2y ago

HAHA I ADDED LIKE 10 PUMPS OF CLASSIC TO A LADYS DRINK THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE SHE “couldn’t taste it”

Khmera 3 points 2y ago

That's probably because she has/had Covid.

the-homosexualagenda 5 points 2y ago

Kinda reminds me of customers that would order a carmel or wm frap with no coffee and then say it tastes like vanilla just because it’s white 🤭

lilBalzac 41 points 2y ago

There is an outbreak suddenly of guests insisting they “don’t want mocha” in the chocolate drinks. You cannot tell them that “mocha is the chocolate “ or they will fight you. You cannot explain that “the mocha sauce is not coffee” or they will torch your car. If you explain the ingredients in our classic hot chocolate to them calmly they will curse your family for 1000 years. The ONLY thing that you can do here is prepare a classic hot chocolate and reassuringly say “of course! Good and chocolatey with no mocha coming right up!”

IVE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE BEFORE AND IT WAS SO STRESSFUL

miniinovaa 5 points 2y ago

I had one lady who didn’t speak English and oh man I was struggling trying to explain to her that I can’t take “mocha” out of “white mocha” because it’s the same thing. I felt so bad lmao

D73548 4 points 2y ago

I swear ive had the same experience multiple times. "Id like a white mocha no mocha please". Having to explain it to them makes me sound like an asshole.

Used_Thought4672 1 points 2y ago

Have you ever had to ✨show✨ them though? That’s the douchiest feeling thing I’ve ever had to do.

Khmera 1 points 2y ago

I love your descriptors!

Rochellle 26 points 2y ago

Received almost the exact same order via mobile a couple weeks ago, except it was with almond milk. Customer came back within 5 minutes to complain that I had given them “plain almond milk”. I kindly pointed out that they ordered hot chocolate with no chocolate.... Of cOuRsE it was an accident and they didn’t mEaN that and I need to remake it. Ugh.

Ashemodragon 19 points 2y ago

I once had a customer ask for an iced green tea with no tea...so you want ice water?

hmmyeahrightokaythen 16 points 2y ago

*takes a deep breath* thinks hard for a sec...

nah, I don't get paid enough for this 🙃

Khmera 3 points 2y ago

So, they just wanted the green. Maybe Starbucks simply needs to have food coloring.

sydbey_ 19 points 2y ago

so basically a vanilla steamer

GingerBeatboxes 43 points 2y ago

Not even that since hot chocolate doesn't have vanilla anymore

sydbey_ 20 points 2y ago

really?? 😅 totally knew that /s

schrosarus 13 points 2y ago

Wait really?? I guess the fact that I haven’t worked under the apron for a while is starting to show...

The_Septic_Shock 7 points 2y ago

They're changing a few drinks come spring, not happy
:(

schrosarus 2 points 2y ago

Oh no...dare I ask which ones?

TheBayesianBandit 3 points 2y ago

Don’t feel too bad. I haven’t worked at Starbucks since 2009 in high school, yet for some reason I’m still subscribed.

I don’t even remember HC having vanilla in it to begin with. Not sure if that means my memory is off or if it means they added it after I left.

NixFraser 14 points 2y ago

Wait where do you work I got that order just 2 weeks ago

gavinatoristhatyou 67 points 2y ago

jackal_bee [OP] 1 points 2y ago

NixFraser 1 points 2y ago

Aliciarox11189 3 points 2y ago

jackal_bee [OP] 1 points 2y ago

darkwolf523 2 points 2y ago

No they want the mocha drizzel with whipped cream

mrsweezydc 1 points 1y ago

opalraindrops 1 points 2y ago

I got this exact order the other day. So odd.

No_Historian_8820 0 points 2y ago

Hot chocolate has vanilla...

Lukeholmy 5 points 2y ago

Wrong, that changed a while ago...

No_Historian_8820 1 points 2y ago

Oops, we still do it here

jackal_bee [OP] 1 points 2y ago

yeah I just disregard the change anyway honestly lol

jackal_bee [OP] 1 points 2y ago

not anymore, they changed the recipe a couple months ago to exclude the pump of vanilla
