It’s YOUR phone! (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Koffee-Brown
The amount of tension I feel when someone tries to force me to read their order off their germy phone is enough to ruin the entire day. I just find it incredibly rude and inconsiderate yet SO many customers find it an acceptable thing to do! My job is to take your order, not decipher it, not to attempt to listen as your daughter explains a drink she saw on tik tok, not to read it off of a scrap note that your wife scribbled... these are YOUR responsibilities. I’m not doing it, so people should stop trying it.

I really hate when they do that... its a huge pet peeve... especially when the first thing they do is try to shove this phone into my face. If I see someone on their phone I try to make sure to stand behind the face shield.
But im a really slow reader, and having a screen full of words shoved at me is a bit overwhelming. Ours are usually in text messages, and there's just a big list of text bubbles. All I can think about in the moment is that the line of customers is getting irritated that I'm taking a while to read this person's order.
To avoid it in general I just state "I don't wear my glasses with my mask(which is true), but if you want to read that off im ready when you are!" This usually work and doesn't upset anyone.

With customers like that I always say "yeah sure I can make that"! and make up a completely different drink and send them on their merry way. Thanx and Fuck off Susan! (I call them Susans)
