the worst types of karens (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by babyaphrodita
i work at a starbucks drive thru in an affluent area of San Diego. all karens are bad, but let me tell you, the 25-35 year old skinny tan ladies with their faces full of botox and their lips full of juvederm driving their teslas are THE FUCKING WORST. they have such a bad attitude, and such complex orders that they will demand you remake for them even if you know you did everything according to the ticket. whenever i’m outside taking orders, they always talk to me with such disdain, as if i’m below them for having a food service job. like babe, sorry i don’t have a La Jolla sugar daddy paying my way through life, i am a full time student with a part time job. i work hard to live my life, and i don’t feel as though i deserve that kind of disrespect.
interestingly enough, the classic karen middle age ladies are always a lot nicer to me than them.
anybody else have a unique karen demographic for their starbucks?

Middle aged men with a disdain for the popularity/complexity of Starbucks who get absolutely LIVID if there is even the slightest perceived issue with their order.

“can’t I just get a BLACK COFFEE I don’t want any of that fru fru stuff in there” just black ok??!” 🙄🙄

Or the middle aged white men who come in with other people and give them crap when they order a drink with modifications they like, and then, he’ll order a plain mocha or black coffee. Like okay, Steve, choosing your toxic masculinity over your tastebuds is obviously your priority 🙄

This elderly man came thru drive asking for a “decaf” so my 17 year old barista asked the dreaded clarifying question “a decaffff...latte?” “NO! A DECAF!!”....”ummm so a decaf, like, americano?” “Jesus Christ how fucking dumb are you? What do they teach you kids these days?! It’s not rocket fucking/“ this is where I interject with the assertive I’ve been doing this for waayyyy too long and your a dick customer service voice “sir we offer many decaf options you will simply have to be more specific on the type of beverage you prefer and while you think about that I would like to remind you we will not accept that kind of language or treatment of our partners and can refuse you service” he shut up he ordered his decaf drip coffee and then the next day his wife made him apologize 🤣😂 I’ve never been so close to giving a bad customer regular before (ya know cause normally I would slip them decaf hahahah) grumpy old men are Karen’s.

Correct, a man was very mad someone filled his pike too full. In fact he says that this is such a problem & we are all to oblivious to figure it out.

The worst is when a troop of high schoolers come in all ordering frappes.
