I’d rather make Frappuccinos than honey citrus mint teas or refreshers

The time it takes to blend a Frappuccino is just long enough that it’s awkward to just stand there but too short to give you time to make another drink

Least favorite drink to make is any kind of “build” drink. Caramel ribbon crunch and mocha cookie crumble Frappuccino’s are annoying. Also the famous Tik Tok white mocha, extra caramel, vanilla foam. And please, stop blending teas and iced coffees withOUT BASE SYRUP.

Not exactly a drink. But I strongly dislike steaming heavy cream.

If we could have a third planted barista making all the frappuccinos for both drive through and cafe/mobile during peak, I think it would help without having two baristas traveling from counter to counter, interrupting sequencing, and you wouldn't be elbow to elbow with your partner both trying to make frappuchinos, reach the ice bin, sink, etc. get at the two blenders right next to each other. Would that be better? I'm curious as a partner who gets stuck on DTO/DTR, front/warming all the time even thought I know the beverage builds cold, I get to observe but not participate

If it was just a Frappuccino on its own, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. But everyone’s getting cold foam on EVERYTHING. And not even just standard CF or VSCCF. They gotta add purée and different juices and matcha and mocha and whatever the heck else. Refresher? COLD FOAM. Apple juice? COLD FOAM.

I use to hate Frappuccino’s but I kinda like them now, burned out on making them but I kinda like them now I really hate the damned strawberry açaí drinks (why mix lemonade with dairy )

Now I hate caramel drinks because I had a girl nearly in tears for not having any but we did have a customer buy some caramel drizzle for us 😅

For me its honestly the cappuccino as I just cant get the foam right. Then again I’m only a green bean.

Flat whites.

Hear me out. We still have the old mastrenas which means we can only do ristretto shots in pairs, which means you have to keep an eye on the cup to move it for the second run if you need 3 shots. Which means you have to be careful if you step away to start a cold bar drink, get cold brew, etc. Also, I work mornings which means I rarely have adequate time to properly groom the milk so they frequently turn out like shit with bubble wrap rather than micro foam.

Pourovers are the worst and the instant I hear it even suggested my heart sinks.

POUR OVERS/BREWED TEA so simple yet so tedious when the customer gets angry because it’s taking too long

Lmao nO it's iced London Fog tea lattes or honey citrus mint teas for sure, I'll take making a frap over those two AnY day

Nah, I’d rather do Frappuccinos instead of refreshers.
Refreshers are so annoying.

Basically it throws off my whole flow, not all the time but most of the time. Especially if they're all tall size or different kinds.

I hate how everything has to be blended and everything has to have cold foam now. I don't even care about frappuccinos, why do people want fuckin everything blended? 🥴

i believe its cause it takes more effort to do and not even bc of the steps but bc of like the consistency we gotta have it as well

Fraps with light ice specifically the layered ones

Actually eggnog 🤢 specifically uncut eggnog. That smell haunted me all winter

My personal drinks I hate to make are the drinks that customers make up and expect you to figure out. Then proceed to say the other Starbucks does not make the caramel macchiato a certain way. Like there is one recipe. We ideally all follow it. How am I supposed to make a caramel macchiato with light milk no foam and stronger espresso flavor with out adding espresso. Like... what. Or a latte with no foam but light milk but still full cup?! Like do you want water ?!! What I just I’m done.

Ask anyone about the day of the unicorn Frappuccino. “Can’t be that bad, right?” for an extra twist of the knife.

yes, thank you! idk what it is about them, i just feel like they throw me off whatever rhythm i have

And they actually drank them? 🤢🤮

Salted Caramel Cold Brews are kinda annoying but that's just me and my fear of dropping a salt packet in the blender and having to start over lol

I would rather make ANYTHING than shaken espressos. I hate them.

Heavily modified ice coffees. I don’t know why, but if I’m pumping more than just classic into your cup, I’m annoyed.
