Got yelled at for not having an Ultimate sandwich. Told the customer we have an Impossible but he INSISTED on getting an Ultimate. (self.starbucksbaristas)

And then he called me a liar when I told him we never had an Ultimate sandwich as far as I know...and took off.

All over a sandwich we don't carry.

Haha amazing. One customer told me, "I want a drink, I don't know what is it... some drink with 'gold,' something to do with 'gold'!" I was like, "Did it have 'gold' in the name or was it a golden color?" (I wasn't trying to be flip.) She said, "I don't know! Something with 'gold' or something!" I said, "Is it the golden ginger drink?" "I don't know! Something with 'gold' or something! My friend ordered it and I tried it and I liked it!" Trying to be kinda helpful, I go, "Well, I'm really not sure what you want, and I don't want to give you something you don't like... Maybe you could ask your friend what it is so you know next time?" She replies, "My friend is dead!"

THAT got dark REAL quick.

You should have taken all of the sandwiches and stacked them together with a ham croissant in the middle and served it to him as the ultimate sandwich.

Even when you search ultimate it brings up impossible lmao

Had a customer order a mocha supreme once and was mad when I didn’t understand what that was. It was just add mocha drizzle.
interyx 14 points 2y ago
Oh you add tomatoes and sour cream to make it supreme.

Wtf??? Some people!!!

A customer told my coworker she wanted a "bliss Frappuccino" and after we told her it's not our signature drink and that we won't be able to make it if she doesn't have an ingredient list, she told my coworker that my cowoeker doesn't care enough about her to figure it out for her.

And drove off mad.

Years ago, we had a frankensteined sandwich that was the guts from a sausage and cheddar and the guts from a bacon gouda put onto a toasted everything bagel. Some of our baristas called it the "Ultimate Sandwich," but I always called it "The Hangover Buster" and had a trenta Iced Coffee with it. Worked like a charm.

We had a customer come through like an hour ago and yell at the girl on DTO because he wanted a “cookie mocha crumble” not a “mocha cookie crumble” and yes, we asked if he meant the creme based version. He wanted the coffee. Gotta love our customers!

You seriously couldn’t figure out what they meant by cookie mocha crumble?
lilkiosk 2 points 2y ago
We knew what he meant, he just insisted she was wrong because she said it mocha cookie crumble when she repeated his order back to him.
