I see your 16 refreshers and raise you a 22 drink order that came in last week 10 minutes before I was supposed to leave. (i.redd.it)

OP of 16 refresher post here. You take the cake. That sounds AWFUL.

MattyScrant [OP] 56 points 2y ago

Yours was still rough to see. It reminded me about this gem the other day and the trauma that comes with our job…Godspeed, friend.

May the iced chais be with you this coming summer season. ✊🏼

This is the wholesome, solidarity interaction we needed. ☺️

I LOVE UR NAME LOL

Please tell me they tipped and didn't come through the drive thru

MattyScrant [OP] 69 points 2y ago

Didn’t tip. Wasn’t surprised about that but thankfully they came inside.

jdg996532 31 points 2y ago

Didn’t tip? Fucking people…

MattyScrant [OP] 67 points 2y ago

And he had the audacity to say to me “I bet y’all hate it when people come in with orders like these.”

I just stared

jdg996532 13 points 2y ago

I’m surprised he didn’t ask to speak to the manager.

There should be a 24 hour notice on big orders like this

Improvmomolyfe 32 points 2y ago

If you didn’t triple batch those frapps and made and made trenta pink drinks into talls I swear…

wandering_mind_ 20 points 2y ago

We need a catering charge for this massive of an order

Isaac_Ingram 19 points 2y ago

I wasn’t at my store at the time but someone came in and ordered 42 drinks in cafe.

MattyScrant [OP] 6 points 2y ago

Oof. I felt that in my soul.

unsatisfied_plant 17 points 2y ago

Thinking about this asshole who comes in every Tuesday and gets 47 DRINKS and 10 PASTRIES for his office and IM ALWAYS ON BAR WHEN IT HAPPENS

Aliciarox11189 10 points 2y ago

Batch blend?

MattyScrant [OP] 27 points 2y ago

Used every shortcut I’ve learned in my ten years of experience to get them out of my store as fast as possible.

Arith_Medic_WasTaken 9 points 2y ago

Flock of teens?

MattyScrant [OP] 14 points 2y ago

Nope a dad and his buddy but I’m sure it was for a bunch of teens.

GinaMohundro 7 points 2y ago

Wow. I feel this. We have pharmaceutical reps that come in 5 out of 7 days every week with big drink orders. We have a few who bring their own drink carriers so we’re cool with them plus a couple of them tip very well. Our tip rate is still garbage though, bah.

To whoever rang that up: my OCD appreciates their style lol. I don’t know if the customer came in with a list and the register person rang it like that but that’s my best guess.

simmbea 5 points 2y ago

There was a doctors office that would come every Friday to one of the Starbucks I worked at and they would have a 30+ drink order during peak or right after in the cafe.

MattyScrant [OP] 1 points 2y ago

That’s wild you mention that because there are two guys who work at the hospital near my store who do the SAME exact thing every Wednesday, they only get about 8-9 drinks at a time though and we know when they come so it isn’t too bad.

philosopher_cat_lady 5 points 2y ago

$115 at Starbucks.

Competitive-Exam2264 4 points 2y ago

That wouldn’t have anything to do with me and I would still be leaving in 10 mins when I’m scheduled to 💀😂

the_price_is_right96 3 points 2y ago

One time someone came in and their order was so long, and they didn't write it down, they just had it as a note in their phone. So I had them text it to me so I could write everything down. I still have the text saved. It was over 50 drinks, and they did not leave a single penny as a tip 🙃 I think I went in the back and cried when we were finally done with it. I wrote all of the cups and made all of the drinks while my other 2 (MAYBE 3) Co workers took care of everyone else coming into the store. It was a very busy day.

create_consciousness 3 points 2y ago

Those dread pink drinks! 😅

stqmine 3 points 2y ago

The pink drinks and the frappes would be easy to batch and so will the iced white mochas. I’m sorry OP!!

SyerenGM 3 points 2y ago

Whats the best way to batch pink drinks?

stqmine 4 points 2y ago

You didn’t hear this from me... but cold foam blender!! It’s great to foam it. But also just shaking Trenta amount of strawberry açaí and coconut milk, then putting the ice and strawberries in the cups already, comes out great and quick! Usually fills abour 3 talls and nearly one grande.

stqmine 1 points 2y ago

On 3 btw 🤪

csaine 1 points 2y ago

You can batch iced white mocha?

stqmine 2 points 2y ago

Like pulling 2 shots and then another 2 shots and then only having to pull two more since they’re venti so 3 in each. I know it’s hard to explain

lilac_blaire 1 points 2y ago

I *think* they mean put the two venti cups next to each other on the mastrena, queue a quad and then a double for six total, and three shots go in each cup.

willmfdavis 2 points 2y ago

We don’t get paid enough to do these long ass orders. Really should get a catering fee if they come in and expect this much, LET ALONE TIP WHICH THEY DIDNT DO 🤯

reddskeleton 2 points 2y ago

It looks like a sorority was having a meeting and needed their Starbucks

Broccoli_In_The_Butt 1 points 2y ago

Please tell me it was cafe and they tipped

LatterRooster 1 points 2y ago

Holy wow
