A customer asked for a strawberry grande today. (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by katstes
“I’m sorry what drink did you want?”

“A strawberry. grande.”

“I’m sorry, grande is the size. Did you want a strawberry refresher or a strawberry frappuccino?”

“I don’t know, whatever the milkshake is.”

I'm honestly baffled by the way customers act and it's not like we can call them out on any stupidity

You should have given them a single strawberry inclusion in a grande cup lol

Hahahah wouldn’t be wrong and with all that random drink order crap I can see why. I would be buckled over laughing tho if I worked with you and that happened.

We are pretty much next door to a McDonald’s and the amount of times I’ve gotten someone being like “hey can we get a mcmuffin and a frappe”


We also occasionally only get to the “hi thanks for choosing Starbucks” before someone is like “wait this is Starbucks?”

The amount of people who have asked for cokes at my location...and we’re nowhere near a McDonalds (or any other drive through).

“You don’t have soda? Why?” Actual question from a customer like? Idk why

I worked at an Einstein’s with a dt that was right next to a Tijuana flats and everyday people would think it’s Tijuana. “Hi, thanks for choosing Einstein bagels, what can we get for ya?” “Two tacos” LIKE they don’t even LISTEN

Occasionally I get someone who wants a -McDonald's- caramel macciato. I make those with the caramel syrup instead of the vanilla.

Let’s just hope they are new to Starbucks ways. I know I talk to many ppl who don’t frequent SB often. And they are actually uncomfortable or nervous to order off the menu. It’s intimidating for many ppl

Or they are suggested a drink by their friend and forget how to order it later.

I can only imagine how annoying it if for you all tho. Especially with the shit being blasted at you with covid and TicTok - so when you’re busy trying to keep a good flow and ppl don’t know how to order or fuck with you all, I can understand the frustration.

I recognized her as she’s usually in once a week, but was really nice about it all! It was just quite silly how confident she was and was taken aback when I questioned it lol

That's when I hit em with, "I'm sorry, but we don't carry milkshakes." I no longer have patience to figure out someone else's order for them. I only get paid so much buddy.

I had a customer who would come through every day and say different variations of a caramel frappuccino. first week it was “caramel milkshake” and then “caramel slushie,” then finally he started saying “blended caramel.” a little better lol but hoping it gets to caramel frap.
