Michele. (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by El_Trundo17
Today I clocked in as usual and washed my hands before I started on Cafè bar. 3 minutes into me being on bar Michele, which is of course how her name is spelled walks in. Before I could finish saying welcome in she goes, “ I have a mobile order.” Me: “ Ok, what’s the name?” “Michele” I look at the stickers on the cups which are all iced drinks. Her “ it’s none of those.” I see a hot cup that’s empty because we were out of almond milk. I say, “ it looks like we’re out of-“ she interrupts and yells “ YOU JUST TOUCHED ALL OF THOSE CUPS LOOKING FOR MINE WITH YOUR DIRTY HANDS” I say “I actually just clocked in and washed my hands, so they’re clean but, Thanks. Anyway what milk do you want instead?” Her “NO YOU TOUCHED ALL OF THEM! Put MINE in a clean cup and do COCONUT MILK!” I said fine and made it and didn’t say anything to her the rest of the time she was there.

You pretty much handled it beautifully.

Normally I’m really quite but, she talked to me like I was a child and drew so much attention everyone was staring at us. The words you don’t have to come here were in my mouth but thankfully I didn’t say that

Wouldn’t you have touched the cups to make the coffee that was inside them anyways? What a weirdo
El_Trundo17 [OP] 7 points 2y ago
Yeah, I have no idea what was going through her head.

i dont understand some people… also if her problem was your “dirty hands”, the new cup is being handled by those very same two hands!!! what!!!

These customers who are bitching about our "dirty hands" are probably the same people who bitched and moaned about having to wear a mask in stores. Because they couldn't possibly be the problem.

Would it have been ok to get another partner to do it, seeing as how this customer insulted OP? That’s what I did when I got the dirty hands insult at DTR recently. The customer was angry because she was trying to say she had ordered a venti nitro in dt. First of all we don’t sell that second my partner and I heard grande nitro. She started this routine after she paid so I printed her receipt and showed her we charged her for a grande nitro and that’s what we prepared. So then she started with “you’re putting your dirty hands on it” I walked away and got a partner (who turned out to know a very embarrassed passenger in her car)

Maybe, but she would’ve been rude to anyone. After she got her drink she went to sit on the patio and was talking , no, YELLING on the phone. Everyone that was out there left. I’m not kidding. She really wanted attention but I was not giving her any. One of our partners was having his break outside and said she was crying into the phone because she stepped in a puddle the other day. Also this was like a 40 year old woman.
