When you acknowledge a mobile order and say their food is on the way and they go “egg white bites right?” Idk dude, it’s whatever you typed in your phone
Caramel_Muchacho 24 points 2y ago
I just say, “Yup!,” while thinking, A- how the fuck would I know, and B- IT’S WHATEVER YOU ORDERED!!

That’s exactly what I did yesterday

“which one’s mine?”
“whichever one has your name on it”
Catpants21 44 points 2y ago
Or the classic “is this one mine?” I don’t know dude, what’s your name?

Called out a girls drink today and she stood halfway across the store for ten more minutes and then was like “oh HAHAHA is this mine?!” Like it was.. quirky? That she didn’t pay attention or something? And I just said, “I don’t know what you ordered.” I didn’t take her order, so why would I know if it was hers or not? There’s 5 other people in the cafe

I’ve watched customers grabbing at hot drinks, asking if it’s their iced drink, and vice versa. Do you not understand what you ordered?

Before we started setting mobile orders out for customers to pick up themselves again, I handed out a 4 item order. 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches. I grab the drinks and hand them out and the woman goes, “I have sandwiches too.” And I said, “I’m aware, I only have 2 hands.”

Like yeah let me grow 2 more arms so I can grab all your stuff at the same time?

Or I hand out a drink carrier full of fraps in DT before grabbing straws for them and as I'm handing the drinks to the customer they're like "wE nEeD sTrAwS 4 tHiS" and sometimes I say something along the lines of "no way, I expected you to suck it thru the straw hole like a savage..." like bruh...I can't do it all at once...usually they laugh but sometimes they look at me like I'm an idiot.

Today I was on main bar for Sunday peak and I handed a woman her drink and she told me she also had a blueberry muffin. I gave her my standard response of “oh, it’ll be down from the oven in just a minute.”

“But I didn’t want it in the oven!! I wanted it cold!!”

“… yes ma’am but the muffins are stored down at the ovens, not on my espresso bar”

I hate the “do you need your receipt?”
“No i need my cheese danish” in drive. Like im just asking about your receipt so it’s not awkward ass silence.

I really don’t have the brain energy to make my grammar 100% perfect in a reddit comment

It’s a reference to the xkcd comic it links to, it’s not saying to did something wrong.

The opposite happened today where a barista made an iced drink by accident and the lady took the drink to the oven barista and said, "this is supposed to be hot" like...... Did she want the barista to put it in the oven lmao

Had a woman tell me that sugar free vanilla is sweeter than normal vanilla and how she can’t be on her diet with the SFV. And I was like whatever plz leave my DT
Caramel_Muchacho 2 points 2y ago
This happens at least three times a shift.

Today for me was, “This is supposed to have extra berries!” on a mobile order. Totally did not say that on sticker. “Is there a way to select that on your app?” “No. I new I should have just called.” Uh...yeah...how am I supposed to magically know you wanted extra berries? And also you literally select how many scoops you want on the app. You can have 10 if you just select it! Calling will only be annoying and we may not even answer, but...
