Customer who think they know better(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by jadddddyn
I take this lady's order and it's a vanilla sweet cream cold brew and hand it off to the bar. I go back to what I'm doing and i overhear her as she sees the partner making it pour the sweet cream on top and the lady goes "ugh you guys always make it wrong, it's supposed to have the foam on top! You're not supposed to just pour it on top 🙄"
So I just wanna know what other location is making their vsccb wrong I just wanna talk 😐

The crazy thing is that the current menu art LITERALLY has the vsccb pictured. Without foam.

My favorite is people that ask for foam and then mix it in.

Or get it and then ask for a straw 🙄

My favorite is when I had some one order a started cream cold brew and stick a straw in it, and then complained he couldn’t taste the cream. We told him it’s because he was using a straw and he was all surprised at that. Like, sir, you can see your straw is at the bottom, and the foam is at the top. You’re just stupid.

If it isn’t part of the drink build automatically...then it doesn’t come with it. I don’t understand why people assume certain add ins come with drinks when they really don’t. You HAVE to ask.

That’s the point of OP’s post though, some other Starbucks must just be making it wrong like this for the customer to be demanding that this is the way it’s made. Or the customer is just a rude, inconsiderate person. Judging from my own experience frequently getting a vanilla sweet cream cold brew made incorrectly I believe it’s more so the first part, although maybe a bit of both.

I feel like this happens a LOT...as a barista who enjoys VSCCB and understands how annoying making cold foam is, I never ask for cold foam on top, I’ve gotten so many variations, a vanilla sweet cream cold brew made properly but also with cold foam added, I’ve gotten just cold brew with cold foam added, and since I add white mocha pumps (because I’m addicted to sugar) I feel like I’ve gotten various combinations of them including white mocha/not including vanilla. It always bugs me when they add the foam on when one, I wasn’t charged for it/didn’t ask for it because it’s my mark out drink so it’s not like I’m paying and two, because why make it more complicated.

I used to have a lady come in and order an Espresso Macchiato. And always complain that it was made incorrectly. Well don’t ya know what she actually wanted was a Caramel Macchiato. but absolutely refused to call it that. Because that’s just what She calls it and we’re supposed to know. So I just said. Order it correctly next time or it will not be remade for you and I will make you drink the whole damn thing. 😅😬 cause clearly it’s what you wanted.

people who think it's our fault they don't know what they're ordering is my biggest pet peeve 😭

Yes! I get this all the time! If you want the Vanilla sweet cream cold foam cold brew, I can make that for you. But that's an upcharge. 😊

Maybe when she orders vsscb she thinks it’s supposed to be a cold foam drink. I’d probably explain it to her that just pouring the cream on top is the way the vsscb is supposed to be made, and what she is looking for is a “cold brew with vanilla sweet cream cold foam.” Agree with her that ordering it is a pain, and how similar it sounds. Connekt

This happened the other day! And then when she tipped us because we remade it, she said “your welcome for the tip by the way”. If you’re gonna tip, just do it. I don’t want it if you’re gonna have that attitude 😒

I always ask if they want it on top or in the drink at this point 🙃
indieredditusername2 points2y ago
It literally has it on the menu 😭 plus it looks so much cooler with the cream not the foam
Even_Resolution_20971 points2y ago
I always ask if they mean the foam or just the cream. I hate when people say VSC but don't finish their sentence.

Ever since we got the straw-less lids I’ve been making the drink wrong so they don’t ask for a straw to mix. I just syrup, add vanilla sweet cream, then cold brew and ice. Even though it’s not standard.
lemonjuicepulp1 points2y ago
How else is it made? Or are you just not pouring it on top?
Loose-Thoughts1 points2y ago
Yeah. The sweet cream is suppose to go on top for a marble effect.
