Shout-out to the lady who came through our drive thru yesterday (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by PoeTayto88
She ordered a dopamine espresso and made me laugh more than I have in a while.
After a good long chuckle, I also want to shout-out my barista who asked her if she wanted a shot of seratonin with that.
Good, wholesome interactions are the best.

And Frappuccinos avocado style. Though Affogato Fraps are not in right now, so many of you probably haven't heard that one yet. It'll probably happen.

I had like 4 people order one in a day last week. I think someone started a new TikTok drink with affogato shots.

I had a venti frappuccino with a triple Affogato shot the other day...I had to leave about an inch of space in the cup, put a tiny dot of whip, then dome it, add the HUGE amount of HOT LIQUID to a FROZEN drink...then add more whip. I thought for sure they were gonna complain, but apparently they like watery overly sugared coffee...?

this lady orders a venti frappuccino with 3 affogato shots in a trenta cup 🥲
Assiqtaq 3 points 2y ago
I thought official word was that now we were not allowed to up the cup size? Or is that another thing they put a word out about but aren't enforcing at all?

Yeah, I remember when they said that, you’re right. But I think it’s one of those things that aren’t being enforced. It’s kind of ridiculous though. I understand the reason behind it but like who am I to fight with customers who just want their drink in a bigger cup. It’s not worth the fight to me.

i haven’t heard about that 🤔 but our new manager doesn’t seem to care about enforcing that so i def don’t

Did have someone order an affogato frap a week or so ago. Idk these tik tok trends are weird

This reminded me of a customer a few years ago who asked for a latte with risotto shots.

I accidentally said this yesterday and no one even laughed but I haven't been able to stop thinking about how funny it was.

I like saying "Gouda morning how can I help you" and no one ever laughs except one new coworker and I felt like a king for a few moments.

I've had someone ask me for the spinach fettuccine wrap

Yum, chunky.

Love these slips. I had someone ask for sativa in their coffee the other day lol
LegendaryKegendary 6 points 2y ago
someone pronounced it stehvia instead of like steevia and then this Karen smith looking girl comes up to the window and the person on window was like "grandeatte with one stevia?" and she's like "yeah, stehvia"

I’ve had people ask for crappuccinos or ask for an extra shit of espresso. Life is good at the ‘Bucks.

Every time this comes up at my store I talk about how much I love “mangan” dragon fruit. Kills me every time

I can’t not say this and I’ve worked for Starbucks for 7 years. I don’t know why, but I just cannot say the word violet

“Strawberry Assy”
“Park’s place”
“Trifecta Green Tea”
“Bacon Gary Egg Bites”
“Dope-a-Lin Expresso”
“Mochin Cooka Crumbie” - dude was at least 80 so I had to give him props for trying
“Strawberry Refreshner”
Some of my favorites at my current store

I can never understand why 'ribbon' is so hard to say. And they are usually reading it when they say it! Come on guys, its not even one of the weird words.
Also "Pike's Peak" is something I accidentally say quite a bit, probably because it is a local actual sight.

I always get confused with the old ultra caramel Frappuccino so I end up saying “ultra caramel crunch” sometimes. I can’t get these drink names straight since they became paragraphs. I still say “salted caramel cold brew” instead of salted creme. It just happens. Every time.

I have one lady that consistently orders a vintage green tea frap and won’t change the way she says it for anyone😂

My favorite is the confusion about shaken OAT MILK and people constantly saying they want a brown sugar shaken oatmeal.

We had someone ask for a caramel mojito the other day and I was like honestly, I would have that too

Ten points to the woman who asked me for “two sativa” in her cold brew. I turned my headset off and the whole floor howled. Amazing.
