Bruh some lady just said she wanted a “Frappuccino” today. When the barista on DTO asked what size and flavor the customer was very confused for some reason.
I just thought it was kinda funny.
Cilantro083 [OP]41 points2y ago
We have people like that all the time 😂 we just keep asking what size/flavor and they just repeat it like we didn’t hear them or understand them 🥲
sammieduck6942011 points2y ago
Normally I’d get it but when it comes to what size or kind of drink you want… there are different prices and sizes for a reason. You gotta tell me which one whether you like it or not
sydbey_50 points2y ago
people keep asking if we have Red Bull or energy drinks at my store and it’s like no since when does Starbucks carry any of that?? There’s a 7-11 down the street
happybowtiethefirst6 points1y ago
Just give em a 6 shot espresso and mix it with passion tea it should taste the same
deeciphered4 points1y ago
Energy drinks.
Uhhhh we have coffee? This is a coffee shop.
sophrologie_3 points1y ago
before i was a partner i worked at another coffee place called the human bean and we served rockstar energy w/ syrup and you could get it blended. the worst was when people asked for shots in that

someone came through the DT and tried to order a blizzard yesterday 😂 sir we aren’t DQ

someone tried ordering a skittles frappuccino 🤢 then got mad and said “well then what do you guys have then “
Cilantro083 [OP]25 points2y ago
I can hear how they said it too with that condescending tone 👀

It’s a secret menu item

I had someone ask for a bowl of turkey chili once
Cilantro083 [OP]16 points2y ago
I wonder what made them think we serve that 🤔❓
NervosaNervous26 points2y ago
We’ve had people think we’re a Chick-Fil-A because there’s one right next door. We also have had people think we’re a Tropical Smoothie.
stealingsight21 points2y ago
i hope you gave them unsweetened iced coffee
Cilantro083 [OP]12 points2y ago
We had them pull up and had a SSV talk to them 😂
decemberisforcynics16 points2y ago
Someone ordered normally, but then at the end, asked for chicken nuggets, no hesitation. They were convinced we sold chicken nuggets.
(and this was YEARS before those little chickpea nugget protein box things)
snartblartmcgee16 points2y ago
ive had people try and order frostys before, like ma'am we arent the wendys, thats next door
ardenbriar15 points2y ago
I had someone ask if we served bubble tea....like no, but I wish haha
SkippyMonroe3 points1y ago
I think someone for April fools day made it seem like Starbucks served boba on TikTok. We had numerous people ask if we had boba because of that lol
audrey_mae_11 points2y ago
someone asked for a bottle of diet coke today in our drive lmao

Hardest I’ve ever laughed was when a lady came in and asked where the burger menu was and we told her it was Starbucks and she threw her hands up and said “THIS IS THE THIRD PLACE I’VE BEEN IN THAT AIN’T BRAUMS” There’s a Braums literally 10 ft over
miniinovaa6 points2y ago
Some one came to the drive through once and she spoke Spanish, so I got my manager who knew Spanish because I didn’t know enough. And I was waiting for him to finish and the convo was kind of long. Throughout it he sounds confused and was trying not to giggle. She was trying to order rice and beans and tacos through the drive thru 😂😂 she was so sweet but isk where she THOUGHT she was at

Someone recently asked if they could have some fries. I was literally speechless, they were completely serious. One of my partners had to tell them we don't sell fries.
596259623 points2y ago
This is surprisingly common. I too have had people ask me for fries
TheDestroyer4204 points1y ago
When people ask for an 'iced frappuccino'. As opposed to the hot ones we do????????? I think it's because McDonald's call them iced frappes (here in the UK anyway) does my head in
augustus_zephyr3 points1y ago
Our store is connected to a few others, including a Panera - so a few times a shift we get people in our DT asking for a broccoli cheddar soup. We constantly have "This is Starbucks, Panera doesn't have a drive thru. Would you like a drink before you head over?" on the ready.
deeciphered3 points1y ago
We get people trying to get ice caps
. Frequently get people wanting a sausage and egg Mcmuffin.
I had someone try and order a pizza from me.
I had someone ask what sort of fountain drinks we serve when I told her the closest thing is a spindrift flavored sparkling water they asked for it as a venti.
I've had countless people think we're the Jimmy John's. That's three doors down in the middle of our row of shops.
People just sorta think we're anything but a starbucks
feisty3141 points1y ago
Fun fact: iced cappuccinos used to be on the menu. You can find the discontinued beverage card on partner hub. It's just an iced latte with plain cold foam on top.
Edit: autocorrect.
Kritter821 points1y ago
Our Jimmy John’s was next door, and people in the DT thought there were 2 menus and one window. One lady said, oh I pulled up too far
puredeviance_2 points1y ago
i had someone asking for a big mac menu :D
saddestgirl19952 points2y ago
Also had people pull thru thinking were the Mexican place next door smh
Able_Ad26521 points1y ago
We have had people try to order McDonald’s in our drive thru. Mostly they think we’re Panera or olgas. Olgas is attached to our building and they just assume the drive thru is for olgas. Even while looking at the Starbucks menu 😐
yeeet-haw-baybee1 points1y ago
i’ve had people ask for diet coke maybe 3 or 4 times now and also one person asked me if we carry gatorade
kikuuq1 points1y ago
Used to work at a corporate mall food court starbucks, very busy mall and very busy store. The amount of kids that would come in an order milkshakes, and try to order soda astounded me. Its not like literally every other vendor in the food court sells soda why are you here??
Also had alot of people asking if we sold alcohol
Successful-Regret-761 points1y ago
Last week I had someone ask me on drive thru if we have Coke or Pepsi products 😭
sushisenpaii1 points1y ago
I’ve had one lady come twice now and ask if we sell peppermint gum….like do we look like a convenience store?
toe-sucker30001 points1y ago
my store sells gum, alongside the granola bars and chocolate covered espresso beans
sushisenpaii1 points1y ago
Ohhh, okay, that makes sense then! I work at a licensed location and an icon at that so we don’t sell the little extras that full stores do. Didn’t realize starbucks sold gum at all lol
toe-sucker30001 points1y ago
that makes sense then! i’m confused that the same lady came in twice though, lol. did she think you’d suddenly start selling it?

I’m on pain meds for surgery and I’m sorry but all I could think of was $1
