Stupid customers (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by CuteLittleKarty
A woman came through dt asking if we had the following: peach powder, mango syrup, blue drizzle, and some more I can’t remember. Her child wanted a pink frapp. She then ordered a vanilla bean frapp with raspberry and funnel cake syrup. He liked the flavor but wanted it pink so we offered to put dragonfruit in it. He loved it. I’m sitting here on my lunch break just astounded at some people. How does no one know what we actually have????? Looking back I believe the child was autistic but still, the whole world would know if we had blue drizzle 🤦♀️

Lmao mango syrup was a thing like five or six years ago and blue drizzle is probably from the godawful unicorn incident... what the hell is peach powder tho ???? I think the og iteration of the cotton candy frappuccino was pink so maybe that’s the pink thing???? Idk tho your guess is as good as mine

Yeah I have no freaking clue. It would be one thing if she was nice about it but she was so rude too

The raspberry syrup used to be pink but starbucks got rid of artificial dyes and I tell customers exactly that.

Cotton candy frappuccino is just a vanilla bean frappuccino with raspberry, but the raspberry used to be red. And then Starbucks went "healthy" and removed all the dyes.

Aha!! Yeah, we get a lot of them at my store but I didn’t work at sbux yet before the dye got taken out so I didn’t remember if there was something else to it

I get that. It was the dumbest time because all them little children were like I asked for raspberry. It doesn't have it. Gurl I put it in. Try it and see.

I kid you not, I had a teenage girl come in after they changed the syrup and order a cotton candy frappuccino. When she got it, she stared at it for a sec then waved me over.
G: "Sooooo this is supposed to be a cotton candy frappuccino, and it's supposed to be pink."
Me: "Oh yeah, so they changed the raspberry so the syrup isn't red anymore. It still tastes the same though!"
G: "No, it's supposed to be pink. How am I supposed to put this on my Instagram?!" She was so pissed.

“I’m sorry ma’am, your child cannot kiss the heart before we put it in the middle of the Frappuccino”

I mean, our menu boards are the most convoluted mess that use tons of words to say absolutely nothing and they get rearranged every three months, so I kinda get customers not actually knowing what we have.

I just started and I don’t even remember when they were a thing, what was in them?(if it doesn’t traumatize you too much to remember lol)

A one day abomination.
If I remember correctly, blue drizzle is white mocha and the blue sour mix. The pink is from a powder, wanted to say it’s raspberry? Assorted color sprinkles dust on whip cream. The blue drizzle goes on the side of the cup, like the “extra caramel drizzle.”
The people ordered in bulk. Imagine the mess at the ice bar. Our team celebrated that night because we were entirely out.
Our SM was not there the entire day, so the day after, she wholeheartedly apologized for not being there.
EDIT: and they even had the audacity to ask for a Puffing Dragon Frappuccino, which, **THANK GOD**, is only available in California area (on the other-side in Virginia)
