So I was by myself in drive thru the other day and a woman drove up and ordered a Venti flat white with 5 pumps vanilla. Pretty simple but she emphasized that she NEEDED the 5 pumps of vanilla and I assured her that the bar partners would make it right since it's on the sticker. She pulled forward and I kept handing out and taking orders.
She came up to the window and I took her payment, I was waiting for her drink and the bar partner was pretty busy with mobiles and other things, so I finished up her drink myself (the shots and milk were already ready, I got the syrup myself tho!) so I know the vanilla was in there.
I handed her the drink and she was like "Are you sure this was made correctly? Because its almost always wrong and I need it to be sweet, I can't drink it if it tastes too much like coffee." At that point my face just lost all expression lol I told her I made sure it was made correctly and then she pulled the stopper out, took a sip and shoved it at me and told me it was wrong and she COULDNT drink it 🙂
i made her another one with 7 pumps of vanilla and she took it but she was pissed. I don't even understand why she gets a flat white if she doesn't like coffee, and if it's always wrong when she gets it maybe she just doesn't like the drink?

If she wants its super sweet why is she only getting 5 pumps if it’s obviously not enough since its “always wrong” l

That's exactly what I'm thinking! Like if you don't like your drink maybe you should try something else

Same thing happened to me a couple nights ago, I’m a green bean and was on bar with my trainer- got a sticker for an iced coffee with 5 pumps classic 5 pumps vanilla and almond milk (I remember this for reasons about to come up) lady pulls around and we give her her drink and she drives off only to come back around into our drive. Shes literally screaming through the window that I fucked up (even tho I put the exact amount of pumps and had a second pair of eyes to verify that) and my ssv just said “oh fuck this” and grabbed a short cup and filled it with classic and gave it to the lady 💀
Why do people get coffee if they just want sugary milk???

If they were yelling I’d ask them to leave

This is usually due to "their" store giving up and making what the person wants/needs rather than what they order. For whatever reason the customer either doesn't care or doesn't know; in some way they are unable to relay the information. It's all good until they go to another store and things go south, as you experienced.
edit: "always wrong" means she probably ignores whatever the barista(s) tell her about how many pumps actually went in. this and my initial statement are not mutually exclusive.

Seriously. The proper response to these ass hats is. Well if its not sweet enough at 5 pumps, why not get 7, Karen. Why stop there? Get 12 to 15 pumps since you don't like coffee. Or better yet! Don't come to a fucking coffee shop when you don't like coffee. Go to Jamba Juice. Go to McDonald's. Go anywhere else you 5 pump vanilla bimbo. Get the hell out of my drive through. Close window. Sorry thats how it feel sometimes

I am now adopting "go to Jamba Juice" as a snide retort to ANYONE when they piss me off. Not just at work, but everywhere. It's gonna be epic. 😂😂😂

We had a customer who would ALWAYS complain her drink was wrong. One day, my coworker had enough. She took the drink with a smile and was like of course we'll remake it. Came and stood by me on bar for a minute chatting. Put a new lid on the drink and handed it back.
