You're gonna need to order the exact same thing in the exact same way from me every day for at least a year before the muscle memory kicks in.

You mean you HAVENT been indoctrinated into the siren's hive mind?

My favorite is the “I come here all the time though.” Honey, I liiiive here. I’ve never seen your ass before. Bye. ✋🏽

Only once can I recall a server at a restaurant remembering I had a “usual” but i had not ever thought of myself as having a “usual”. We used to go to the same restaurant almost every Friday and he remembered that after dinner I liked a patron shot and brought it to me without me asking for it. I was so embarrassed but also flattered. I don’t remember if I was charged for it since I didn’t ask for me but it didn’t matter. I wanted it and he got a big tip.

If you're just gonna assume (rudely) I remember, I'll automatically pretend I don't and make you repeat the whole thing twice.

the only regular drinks i can remember are the ones that absolutely scar me, so here are my top two!

- venti iced americano in trenta, decaf, 12 pumps sf cd, 12 pumps sf vanilla, 10 splendas (used to be 13! i see she’s keepin it more simple), and 1 inch almond milk. in the winter it’s the same but hot and steamed almond (not massively complicated but she is always very bratty about it and Always orders 2+ of these in drive thru)

- grande iced ristretto latte, lactose free, milk to the top, throw it in a blender with a tall scoop of ice and cinnamon, blend 4 times (up to 6 if shes in a bad mood...) on the dry cold foam setting, iirc it ends up filling 2 trentas and a grande because it expands so much, more cinnamon inside the cups and on top (the worst part is that she orders u around while ur doing it, refuses to pay for more than a grande iced latte + lactose mod, and to her defence she “used to work at starbucks” but not sure if anyone bothered fact checking that)

Asked a woman her name after she ordered in the cafe and said “you should know my name, I come here everyday!” For one, she looked like every other basic brunette boomer woman who came in and two I had literally never seen her before or after that day.

How it feels picking up a shift at another store.

I only have one regular order i actually know, this customer has got the same thing for over 2 and a half years every day... other than that... yeah i don’t know your drink

Or when people say “I get a such and such from
Beans and brews” okay....and? Why would I know what that is?

Three regulars I'll never forget (Mayfield & Lee in Cleveland Heights),

1. The guy who have us a Christmas card that was handdrawn and really funny. He got an Americano with an extra shot.
2. The guy who wanted 8 pumps of vanilla in his caramel macchiato. Cute, but sort of a jerk. If you want to be remember, this is not the way.
3. The lady who orders one doppio espresso and always said "now you take care".

I don't know any of these people's names. But I do remember their faces and their drinks and they made me smile.

My boss came over and was like "yeah. I'll get my regular, and the sausage wrap." Sir. I've never served you before in my life. I hope your regular is a venti black coffee, because that's what I'm giving you.

One time a customer was offended that I didn't remember her name or her order, and said "I expect you to remember that next time." I had never seen her before this, and I still have not seen her since then.

I used to know people’s orders at my old store but ever since I transferred I haven’t learned a single order or customer’s name. Everyone just looks alike to me.

This guy at my store comes in thru the drive thru and when I say “Hi welcome to starbucks how are you doing? He says good and I’ll have my usual” We call him the my usual guy. He’s maybe 20 if that. While on solo drive he called me bro 2 times in 1 minute. Bear in mind, we all think he is creepy and very social awkward. He isn’t even an every day regular nor is he that memorable.

Omg his videos are hilarious!! 🤣

i worked at 3 stores. 2 licensed and now 1 corporate. i for the life of me cant remember a regular’s order at corporate but i can still tell you 5 regulars from my kroger starbucks 6mo ago
