Am I the only one who cringes when customers say "frappé" instead of "frappe" or "Frappuccino"? Like this isn't McDonald's please stop saying that word.

I don’t know how to tell you guys this, but in many countries they call these kinds of drinks frappés. Neither SBux or McDs made the word, and in fact SBux is the only one who made anything up at all.
clumsycalico18 points2y ago
Yeah, a bunch of people at my store also get upset when people say frappe, and that drives ME crazy. Because it is a frappe. A Frappuccino is what’s made up.
ETA no shame to anyone who doesn’t know of course

Huh you learn something new everyday
daughterhood47 points2y ago
I used to but then i realized for me it wasn’t worth it to get upset over. Sometimes it’s kinda nice in the DT bc Frappuccino sounds too much like cappuccino
Fatkidsid09 [OP]8 points2y ago
I guess that would make sense but I work at a tarbucks so we don't have any DT lol

or a sausage and cheddar McMuffin
BatWeary9 points2y ago
I had a man argue with me one day that he wanted a sausage, egg and cheese mcmuffin, NOT a sausage cheddar sandwich

I cant stand when people say the flavour of frappuccino but don’t end it with frappuccino. You want a strawberries and cream WHAT ?????????????? ‘Can i have a caramel brownie cream’ caramel brownie cream WHAT
maemac11 points2y ago
At my store we get a ton of people that will just order a “Frappuccino” then we have to guide them through the rest of the order. “What flavor?” “Venti” “What FLAVOR”. They really think we’re mind readers you know!
chumberchive1 points2y ago
That sounds frustrating
Crowchick173115 points2y ago
I do too!
Fatkidsid09 [OP]8 points2y ago
A customer said it twice and I was cringing so hard
stealingsight14 points2y ago
one time, after i finished a shift, i was ordering at dunkin and accidentally let the word venti slip out. what followed was me apologizing 5 times because they probably get that as much as we get "3 cream 3 caramel swirl"

Those are the worst lmao
snenzie7 points2y ago
i don't care about that but when people say grandi, ventay, trenti.. i can't
YellowSphinx5 points2y ago
That’s doesn’t bother me as much as customers asking me for a McFlurry. Seriously go to McDonald’s and leave me alone 🥸
Fatkidsid09 [OP]3 points2y ago
Lol ive never had that one but I'll wait for it
pythotgoras4 points2y ago

It makes me cringe on the inside every time. I know it’s not the end of the world or anything to lose sleep over, I just like calling things by whatever they’re named at wherever I’m at. I’ll call it a frappo if that’s what’s on the menu lol. I feel like for me it’s being considerate in a way.
ittybittybakerkitty3 points2y ago
I'm in a state with Tim Hortons, when they call a frap an icecap I wanna rip my hair out.
rudebii3 points2y ago
Frappuccino is a word the bux invented so it could trademark the drink. It’s literally a frappe, which is what almost everyone else calls it.
crzyshiba3 points2y ago
Or they order a sausage McMuffin hahahaha
Saradigm2 points2y ago
Yeah I really don’t like it because Starbucks had it first, and we make ours from scratch. It doesn’t come out of a bag, and y’all better appreciate.
zewave_2 points2y ago
I worked at mcdonalds before Sbux and too true LMAO. we'd just blend it, and then out the whip and drizzle on top. Altho tbh it wasn't much easier because when it was insanely busy it was difficult still to make all the types of McCafes/smoothies while taking drive thru orders.
Fatkidsid09 [OP]1 points2y ago
Yeah lol they just have someone stand there and get it from their machine

Frappe doesn’t bother me at all but when someone literally comes thru asking for a “sausage McMuffin” I want to off myself
