What is worse? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by RoaringDragonite
A) the customer who tries to scam the drink (ex. Oh I ordered this hot/cold, iced espressos light Ice oh can you fill the milk to the top?)

B) the customer who orders an absurdly customized drinks but pays for all 12 of their customizations?

Does tipping matter? Or is it fine if they’re just nice? What’s the tipping point of “nice” into “demanding”?

Customizations, always. It’s rare I’ve had someone legit try to scam an extra topping or something, and even then, I don’t get a bonus, I don’t care enough to not give it to you if you try lol.

For me, it’s scamming drinks.

At least with modified drinks, I know what I have to do on bar and I just send it off into the world.

With scammers, I have to listen to their fake story, STOP what I’m doing, and remake the whole drink again.

Yeah, the excessive modifiers are worse, in my eyes. I swear it happens at least once a shift, that I’ll getaways drink with like 10 modifiers, and I’ll miss one, and either the drink comes back to be remade, or I’ll realize it while I still have it, and have to dump it and remake it. Sometimes when it’s really busy, I just can’t remember them all.

That said, it would be cool if the modifiers were printed out in the order that the drinks are made.

I don’t care about either of these things, it’s a total waste of emotional energy that I simply do not have to spare.

as long as there's no one else in the store, customer b every gd time. usually it's just some stupid teen, pretty nice. tip as always is a bonus. people who try to scam you by trying to make you break policy are always rude as hell and KNOW that theyre being difficult for us. customer b just wants their instagram pic, customer a is an asshole.

my personal Motto, more than two modifications get a 1$ tip no matter what and then past that it’s based on customer service
