Ngl the first time someone tried ordering from me when I was working on bar, I was so surprised I just said "Do you think this is a cash register?" in the most astonished voice lol

I was bar and greeted a woman who came in, no hi back or nothing she immediately starts telling me her drink. I said oh X will ring that up for you at the register. She’s like “why did you even fucking say hello to me if you’re not here to take my order???”

“To be polite, not that you know anything about that”

Ill be BUSY on drive bar and a customer will go “hi ill have a “…..” like have you ever been anywhere in your life
lewabwee35 points1y ago
It never ceases to amaze me how hard it is for so many people to find a register.
And I totally get it happening sometimes just because we all have those days but it happens a lot so I think it goes beyond people having a “bad day”.

No but I remember going in for my interview without ever being inside before, and for some reason the plexi glass at the reg and the bar made me so mf confused 😭 I felt so stupid standing there like 🧍🏿♀️

one guy came to our mobile order section (WHICH IS NEXT TO OUR POS😭😭)and gave me like five drink orders and i was like "ummm did you mobile order?" and he was like "no, clearly this is where i pay and i'm telling you my order." LMAO clearly you don't see the two big signs that say MOBILE ORDER PICKUP HERE

recently had a woman who already ordered in the cafe and got her stuff come back up to the handoff area with cash while we were super busy and tried to order a bagel becuase her sandwich was smaller than she thought

Don’t forget coming up to you while you’re making drinks asking about the food they ordered.
MAAM YOU ARE LITERALLY WATCHING ME MAKE DRINKS I DONT HAVE YOUR FOOD
navkabar6 points1y ago
this is my biggest pet peeve
Royal_Concentrate_004 points1y ago
Fucking annoying. They ask for food I say, "the person working on the food over there by the ovens will bring it over, I just work on the drinks here at the bar" Freaking Morons lol. Sorry this comment struck a nerve
kIose15 points1y ago
Same with people waiting in the DT line behind other cars to order.
"Oh, I thought we ordered up here."

Barista and customer here! We supposedly have our Order and Pickup signs "backwards" according to our non regular customers and jeez Louise, they cause a stink! I mean, I look for a line, sure but my ass looks for a register BEFORE I ramble off an order (always a hello, we are in the South. They beat manners into you down here). I was raised in a barn but dang people! I guess that phrase is a good thing now.💁🏻♀️

Yo I've had some keep pushing money over it and I had to keep letting her know that the register was on the other side of the store 🤦♂️ she asked for my manager, who kindly showed her to the register and she just left

I had a customer do this and I held up the venti iced latte I was making and said “am I in the wrong spot? This looks like a latte not a hundred dollar bill! Dang it must have gotten lost again.” In the most sarcastic tone I could muster. They still didn’t get the hint so I pointed to the Mastrena and said “espresso machine.” Pointed next to me to the register and said “cash register. Order there.”

This was awhile ago and I don’t even work for Starbucks any more.
randomhoe9992 points1y ago
Yo I swear they just started doing this during the pandemic
hannamarinsgrandma3 points1y ago
Which is even wilder when you realize that pretty much every single public place started to place arrows down indicating where to stand/go once the pandemic started.

TheMarmaliser1 points1y ago
I work at a Starbucks at sky harbor airport, Jesus Christ the traveling public are a different type of stupid... due to low staffing, out store is only opened from 4:30am to 12:30pm. I cannot tell you how many guests will walk into our store, past the ropes.and barriers, to ask if we're open and try to start playing an order. Or guests that'll walk to the exposed pick up counter while I'm working bar, drowning as there's two cashier's, one person on ovens, and I'm the only person on hot and cold bar, and try to place an order with me or ask me while their 17 dbl's from ovens are taking so long
