Got yelled at today by a Karen who came in, sat at a cafe table for 15 minutes and then came up to scream at me that no one came by to “Take her order”(i.redd.it)

Gotta love that. So many people will come in and order then immediately go sit outside on the patio and expect us to bring it directly to them. Starbucks customers really have the biggest balls

No fr. Why do people think they can order, sit at the farthest table from handoff and then yell at us for their drink being where it’s supposed to be.

Had a customer at my current Cafe (not Starbucks) order $75 worth of food at drive through after being told we close in 2 minutes. Adults are entitled pricks all the way around.

Yesterday I had a guy pull up to the window; his drink wasn’t ready so we chatted for a minute, really cool laid back guy. The car behind him honked at us, so I apologized to the man, gave him his drink and he left. The honker pulled up and it’s a woman who looks about 60. Without looking at me, while on the phone, she says “sorry for honking, I’m just a very busy woman with places to go and people to meet. Where’s my drink? I’ve gotta go.” So I said, then why did you stop here? It’s 530pm on a Friday, we’re very busy as well.
She just looked at me and handed me her credit card, took her drink, and left. The next car asked me if the woman was rude to us as well because it turns out she had aggressively cut that car off to make it into the drive thru.
The point is, Starbucks is the McDonald’s of coffee and no one can convince me otherwise. People don’t see us humans, they think we’re just coffee machines and they don’t care about us because they know we have to be nice to them. I’m near my breaking point with this company and I’m sorry you or anyone else has to deal with the abuse or customers regularly give us

That's the situation when you accidentally don't see your partner place the drink on the drive counter and she has to learn some patience. I always wait a while when someone pulls up to the speaker box and immediately says "hello??"
_lanalana_27 points1y ago
I always wait a second too lmao but i have one manager who always jumps on for me if they say hello and it drives me nuts
LavanderSkies093015 points1y ago
I hate that too because I’m like well if you wanna be on speaker so bad then take it or else let me do MY job

I call that putting them in timeout and I make sure they wait at least 30 seconds before anyone says anything to them. If you’re gonna act like a child, you’ll be treated like one.

Where does she think she is, an Applebee’s? The gall of some people 🙄

customers forget we’re people too. They genuinely think as soon as we put on that apron, we’re their slave workers.

Last week, a single customer, kljust left her entire mess on the Cafe table. We had been so busy I didn't see it until like an hour after she left. She thanked me and my partner for the drink suggestion, but trashed the table. Like left her cup, the straw wrapper, the second straw she asked for ????, and an unfinished baby cup of whipped cream like??? Why did you ask for the pup cup for yourself and not touch it like ?????????? WHY DID YOU EXPECT ME TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOU AFTER YOU WERE Q DECENT HUMAN TO US EARLIER THAT DAY WHY

My favorite is when someone orders a drink right after calling an Uber and gets mad at us for taking too long bc their Uber is outside like excuse me Karen why tf didn’t you wait to get your drink first?
Or the man who ordered at reg and then when I turned around to fill a mobile coffee order he goes I didn’t order that I want a refresher and I’m like sir this isn’t your order and then he DOES THE SAMR THING TO THE BARISTA as if no one else was ordering in front of him??
