Had a teenage customer come in with her friends and order an iced coffee with vanilla, no cream or anything. So i made it for her but when i handed it off her friends start saying stuff like ew!! What is that!! Why does it look like that! And the girl who ordered was looking at the coffee like it was from another planet so i asked her if something was wrong or if that wasnt what she wanted. She then says "well when i got it last time it was coffee colored, this is like black...." i then had to explain to her that that is the color of coffee without dairy and i could add milk if that was what she wanted but she said it was fine. (I think she wanted a vsccb) Ik not everyone knows that coffee is brewed black but made me laugh thinking about how some people think coffee comes out cream colored.

This happens more often than I’m sure we’d all like to admit. If I had a dollar for every time a teenager ordered an iced coffee and then got upset when I gave them a black iced coffee because they ordered one with “nothing in it”... I wouldn’t need a job. Yikes!

i feel like dunkin is partially to blame as their “regular iced coffee” means cream and sugar in it

I’ve had plenty of older customers this dumb, it’s not just the kids

If there is a single thing this job has taught me, it's that unfathomable stupidity knows no age, race, or gender.
violetskies714 points2y ago
other places serve their iced coffee with milk as a default. so she was probably expecting it with dairy. i usually confirm if they want milk in it at the register

That's the literal translation of brown in Spanish .. maybe that's where she got it? Funny

I’ve had similar interactions with customers. Like please just know how to order the drink you’re wanting instead and save us both the confusion.

it’s okay. this week this lady asked me to “make her iced coffee on the blonde side” and when i explained to her i wasn’t sure what she meant by that she said (very snarky ofc) “just add more cream to it”👁👄👁

Almost like when someone said "double the sugar" so i did twice the amount of sugar packets and she said "i wanted two thats why i said double" like girl... why didnt u just say two then

I have one dude who consistently asks for cardboard coloured coffee. I always asked Taiwanese or Chinese because I used to work in a bike shop and all the expensive bikes come from Taiwan in much darker cardboard boxes.

Yall don't ask if they want cream or sugar?

Awee why do I just think that’s precious? & the poor thing drank it anyway </3 bless their teenaged hearts.

Right there was no one else in the cafe i had no problem remaking it but she said she liked it! Got to try something new

I always confirm before I send it thru if they want the classic syrup in it, let them know how many pumps the size they asked for comes default with, and do they want any kind of milk or cream in it. I've just had way too many mistakes when I don't ask those questions.

You’re not 100% wrong, but it will definitely not be “with dairy” colored. Roasters call that tea-like because if you put light roast in a glass, it will be a dark amber brown and fairly translucent, like black tea and pretty thin bodied—especially when backlit.
