audrey_mae_ 29 points 1y ago

I am never going to financially recover from this
ItzBoogieMan 13 points 1y ago
No way
Forgetful-Red 17 points 1y ago
I asked several times if it was actually 40. "FORTY? Four-Zero? Are you sure?" When I put the pumps in, I turned and showed the customer the cup. "Like this? Are you sure?" I was in disbelief lol

No ice frappechinos

I love making those and they come in to an empty cup of foamy milk. Or people who try to play the system by ordering a grande nitro in a venti cup.
Oh or no Ice shaken espressos
uwumoment 15 points 1y ago
i make the “in a venti cup” drinks in grande cups then dump them in the venti cup or i just use the middle line for milk and put the size scoop of ice. also someone once asked for a venti chai but split into two tall cups (bc it was cheaper) so they both had a good 3/4 inch of room at the top but if that’s what they asked for then they’re gonna get ut
mrsnataliehooper 5 points 1y ago
Oh the pain of a grande nitro in a venti cup with ice 😭😭😭
turpentinetears 16 points 1y ago
I literally ignore it if it says no ice. Sorry can’t blend it without ice.
expressof0x 38 points 1y ago
I have a regular who gets a trenta pink drink with heavy cream instead of coconut milk AND requests light ice. Like, your girl is just over here drinking a whole ass carton of heavy cream with some strawberries in it. You do you I guess, it's not like it's particularly complicated or anything but I'd be SO sick if I did that.
TheOnesLeftBehind 12 points 1y ago
I’ve had one get that with vanilla bean. Apparently tastes like some Mexican dessert she can’t get in the US

LilacFlores 4 points 1y ago
I have a customer who gets a trenta pink drink, w/ no strawberries, and soy milk instead of coconut milk, and no ice… then always asks for more soy milk at the handoff once she drinks some because the strawberry taste is too strong??? Like just order a cup of soy milk at that point with strawberry base in it 😭

Buying an evolution orange juice, a side shot, then mixing it in an iced cup 🤢
Saradigm 23 points 1y ago
Like bro, wrong kind of shot, add vodka to that orange juice lol
turpentinetears 2 points 1y ago
Orange juice and espresso together is actually a thing. Not at Starbucks, but just in general. I used to work at a cafe that had a special drink with fresh OJ and shots in it. I think it’s gross but a lot of people LOVE it.
mozziemozzie 18 points 1y ago
i have a regular that gets 12 pumps of classic, vanilla, and sf vanilla in her dragon drink with almond milk.
olivinemultichrome 8 points 1y ago
That’s straight up cursed
voidsalts 16 points 1y ago
We have a regular that gets a venti lemonade with 2 shots of espresso…
kaitrsmith 3 points 1y ago
this is a real drink though i don’t love it but it’s a thing, though i think it’s usually lemonade and cold brew
benevolentchainsaw 3 points 1y ago
I work with a guy who gets that and insists it’s good, I am consistently horrified by his drink choices lol
DarlingMollie 14 points 1y ago
Any version of the "keto pink drink" just 🤢
DentistSafe4872 6 points 1y ago
But like, strawberry refresher juice is made mostly of grape juice concentrate. Therefore NOT keto. I suppose if they made it with passion tea instead? People are wild either way.
DarlingMollie 6 points 1y ago
LMAO that's what it is. Passion tea, sub SFV, add extra heavy cream 😱

Matcha and malt powder in green tea turns it this disgusting green brown color
liiaammm 2 points 1y ago
My partner has espresso in their matcha bubble tea and honestly it's difficult for me to make it 🤢 (homemade not bux, but I'm surprised they haven't jumped on the bubble tea trend. It's very easy to make)

"Is the iced apple crisp any good?"

Me: "ok. Here's the thing about that..."
mewvb 3 points 1y ago
I feel like my pause when asked answers this enough. I usually try to say that I prefer the Apple in a chai though. 🤷‍♀️
paolathepanda 5 points 1y ago
Yesss when people ask for cold foam and then I ask them whether they want regular cf or vsccf and they still say regular cold foam I'll tell them straight up it's just nonfat milk with no flavor are you sure ??... and they still want it ... 🥲
mysterious_yams 6 points 1y ago
The regular cold foam gets 2 pumps of vanilla syrup
Ordinary-Theory-8289 1 points 1y ago
What’s wrong with getting cold foam? Some people don’t want sweet cream…
paolathepanda 1 points 1y ago
There's no flavor to it so I guess that's why I don't get it.
liiaammm 5 points 1y ago
A person once ordered an iced black americano with peach syrup 🤢 I asked if he was sure and he said yeah it's surprisingly amazing. I made him his then made myself a small one to try and it was unsurprisingly awful. I wonder if these people taste the same things sometimes.
croutions 4 points 1y ago
i once had someone ask for like 15 scoops of vanilla bean powder in their frappuccino, like how is it not just super gritty at that point
Kailikesplants 3 points 1y ago
Hot pink drink
IfuDidntCome2Party 3 points 1y ago
Years ago, I asked for an Espresso Frap, and the Barista looked at me like I was from Mars and told me "you don't want that, it is going to taste terrible." Now look what's a regular menu item. Exactly what I had in mind.
Ct-Tourist [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Espresso frappes are the most underrated frappes on the menu
Western_Pea1011 2 points 1y ago
Also "shaken espresso, no ice. Just fill the cup with milk" So.. A latte without ice? No? Then I need to charge you for the extra milk..
Good_Viibes 2 points 1y ago
This customer ordered a lemonade with raspberry and blonde shots and we tried one after she left and honestly????? It sounds ridiculous but it wasn’t half bad! It reminded me of a rly bright espresso tonic
VegetableParliament 2 points 1y ago
Raspberry and espresso in a green tea latte.
