I have a regular come in and she always orders a venti very berry hibiscus with 2 berries. Just two. That’s all

I have a regular that comes and does this. Except she always order three berries (I always put four hehe, once I put 5 and she sent it back)

I also have a regular who asks for two berries but in a violet drink. And they can’t be shaken in. They must be gently set on top of the very light ice, or she will send it back. Wild.

Ahh yes I have a regular who asks for just two pieces of dragon fruit AFTER it’s shaken. Honestly I’m never even mad to do it for her tho bc she’s so sweet.

I really kinda love this type of regulars..as long as they are nice. Some of my best connections come from remembering silly little orders ppl get

Our store used to have a customer that also wanted only 2 berries in their very berry.

We have someone who only gets one. It’s not that big a deal.

This is a head trip, a game. It’s like a celebrity diva whose team specifies only one color of Starburst candies in her dressing room. It’s because she can. It means someone has to go through bags of Starburst and pick out just her color, and she enjoys knowing that. Same thing here. Next she’ll specify 2 blackberries, 3 strawberries and two cubes of kiwi. Because she can command it and you have to do it.

I agree (she says it’s because having all the berries just makes it too overpowering, I guess). But I read something on here the other day about how sbux has cultivated an environment where their customers feel entitled to their bold requests because they feel they have the power to get mad at you if you don’t make it correctly, like “the other Starbucks down the street does.” Would never happen at a local coffee shop. I think it’s just the aura of entitlement the company has created for itself, man. Because sbux is like the fast food of coffee, the drinks technically should be the same everywhere someone goes, like you’d find at a McDonald’s etc. And then people get mad when it’s not.

Also, they just have some deep stuff going on in their personal life if being rude/entitled to a random stranger who works at Starbucks is normal for them
