When you’re taking someone’s order in the DT and they’ve had to repeat themselves 5 times because you can’t hear them but even after the 5th time you still can’t hear what they’re saying (i.redd.it)

Ok-Personality_ 5 points 2y ago

This makes me so happy that I’m not the only one that does this🤦🏻‍♀️

hailvy 3 points 2y ago

Every time I do this no one helps cuz they’re not paying attention 😪

LatterRooster 145 points 2y ago

“Ma’am please have the driver tell me what you’d like to order I honestly cannot hear you at allllllllll” 🤣

[deleted] 21 points 2y ago

LMAOO I’m gonna say this next time

impasse602 10 points 2y ago

I really wanna say this cause idk why girls think we can hear all the way in the passenger seat

hailvy 7 points 2y ago

I say “Do you mind having the driver speak, I can’t hear you at all, sorry” and they always get huffy like it’s a big deal, but they listen most of the time

OtherwiseAbled 3 points 2y ago

I say it all the time

Purple-Construction2 2 points 2y ago

I love saying "Our microphone doesn't reach that far, can the driver please repeat what you're saying so I can make sure we get your order right"

Ilovedemcrystals 117 points 2y ago

Or when you keep asking them what size and they just keep repeating their syrup requirements lol

[deleted] 34 points 2y ago

YES THAT IS THE WORSSSSTTTT

impasse602 11 points 2y ago

Or they just repeat the drink. “What size?” “Caramel macchiato!!” No stupid the size

SillyD19 2 points 2y ago

If they don't say the size I say that will be a Venti & then repeat the drink!

TheDoubleDan 83 points 2y ago

I SAID, CAN I PLEASE HAVE A VENTI hmmrrruummmuurrruummmmuuudruuummm

[deleted] 39 points 2y ago

“I’m sorry what was that?” “Can I get a venti xjcjdjisjfksjgksjd” “I’m so sorry I can’t quite hear you” 😭😭😭

G37_is_numberletter 56 points 2y ago

Referring to pumps of syrup as shots at mosquito volume from the passenger seat in a giant lifted diesel truck with screaming kids in the back seat while getting angrier and angrier towards me. Thanks bro.

arcanalalune 47 points 2y ago

I just start guessing randomly. Odds are it'll be a mocha cookie crumble.

Tytanka 35 points 2y ago

Or a Venti Iced White Mocha with extra caramel and sweet cream cold foam.

espresso_messo 7 points 2y ago

Or a caramel ribbon crunch

Tytanka 37 points 2y ago

I have a partner named Brittany who can hear the tiniest whisper in the backseat of a fifteen passenger van. When we can't hear we all turn to her and she fills us in.

[deleted] 34 points 2y ago

I need a Brittany at my store

chelsthegrinch 24 points 2y ago

our store is on the corner of a pretty busy street, so I always use “I’m sorry the traffic behind you is SO LOUD you can yell I don’t mind”

Saradigm 21 points 2y ago

“Hey, sorry, don’t kill me, can you say that again?”

jelizt 14 points 2y ago

That’s when I just type something in and then say “is everything on the screen correct?” and hope for the best

[deleted] 11 points 2y ago

My DT doesn’t have a screen 😭😔

moon_light523 12 points 2y ago

If it’s the passenger, I just ask them to have the driver order it. If they’re not talking loud enough, I tend to ask them to speak up a little more 😂 it kinda depends on the situation but I just also explain what I heard and what I didn’t and most of the time they repeat it when I do that 😂

numberonehowdareu 10 points 2y ago

My store is right next to a car wash with this most deafeningly loud pressure washer that is on intermittently all day. There’s a lot of “I’m sorry, can you repeat that?” on both ends of the calls.

kiwip3ons 7 points 2y ago

I'm just going to live in the forest among the beasts to avoid situations like these. I see my whole future dissapear in front of me when I get in a situation like this.

InvestmentMuch7643 7 points 2y ago

i always tell them u gotta speak up because i cant hear you clearly and then they will still talk like a mouse

black-barista 6 points 2y ago

This is me! I literally panic into my headset like “guys I literally can’t hear anything please help me”

L_Swizzlesticks 4 points 2y ago

Oh no!! 😵😂

faytyagami 3 points 2y ago

my go-to phrase is, “you’re speaking at a 4, and i need you to crank the volume up to at least a 9.”

jupiter_bug 3 points 2y ago

Thats just me in cafe 🙃

[deleted] 1 points 2y ago

Honestly me too with these freaking face masks and all the noise in the back 😓

Bewitchingmoon 2 points 2y ago

It's really disrespectful. Why do people even bother pulling up to order if they have no intention of communicating their drink.

throwaway3456678 2 points 2y ago

At that point I try to decipher whatever I can and that’s what they get. Don’t whisper in the drive thru, it’s not cute or funny to do for shits and giggles.

maybae-xxx 2 points 2y ago

I literally look at my coworkers with eyes like 🥺 help me my loves.

[deleted] 1 points 2y ago

They must think I have hearing problems by now 😭
