So I had someone come in looking for decaf........ (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by juju483
I work at a Tarbucks and a man came in "looking for decaf."
Me: What exactly are you looking for?
An iced coffee
Me: okay, so we don't really have decaf iced coffee, but as far as espresso goes-
Oh I know you don't have decaf espresso
Me: actually that's the only decaf we have-
What's the point of decaf espresso??
Me: Aren't you ordering decaf?
Well yeah! But I just had gastric bypass surgery!
Me: There's a lot of people who are on medication or just can't have caffeine or need to limit it, but still like the taste of coffee. Anyways, so I could do a decaf iced Americano which would be similar to an iced coffee
Like 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Tarbucks guests are the best. Half the time they don't even know what they want. My personal favorite? Can I get a grande vanilla. Grande vanilla what? Latte? Frappuccino? Americano?

I was once asked if they could have a “cookie and milk” and I was like… ? 🤪 ¿
My shift was like, “Oh yeah, that means they want the double chocolaty chip”. 🤦🏻♂️

My personal fave is when they ask for a Carmel macchiato upside down without caramel.
Like you mean a vanilla latte?

No. I want a caramel macchiato upside down without caramel. It's different. Yeah ok. Without you say. Proceeds to make an expensive vanilla latte, with one less pump of vanilla.

I had someone order a “grande” then when I asked what drink they wanted in a grande size they yelled at me for not knowing they wanted a grande iced coffee with creme 😀

You're not a mind reader yet?! How dare you.
I've been getting a lot of grande matchas lately. Matcha what? Matcha water? Matcha latte? Matcha lemonade? Come on people! Work with me!

I had someone say they wanted a Caramel Ribbon Church Frap ⛪️ once. Someone the other day said they wanted an “eye pop” (bullseye cake pop) 😆 gotta love Tarbucks
snarky_fireball21 1 points 2y ago
I have heard so many different animals for the bullseye cake pop. I love even they say the want the white one... the bullseye or the unicorn... there's literally two of them right now. And they are the same flavor.

I say the same thing about “caramel”

thinking about the time a lady kept asking me for a “grande breve” and got annoyed when i kept asking her what the fuck she was talking about
thelondonblitz 3 points 2y ago
A breve when at a regular coffee shop and not at Starbucks is a latte made with half and half.

A breve latte is a latte made with half & half. A breve what? Latte, vanilla latte, hazelnut latte ???
