Is this really necessary? Funny yet not amused. (i.redd.it)

I'd slap every single one of these on a pastry bag with a note that says, "See barista," so when (if) they came in to pick it up they'd have to look me in the face and confirm that's the beverage they want before I make it. Those orders are legit just trolling.
NervosaNervous 154 points 1y ago
Oh hell yes I’d do this, too. In fact, I’ve done something relatively similar when people have ordered bullshit like this. 9/10, they never show up.

Bro, you have massive balls for that

extra water
extra yummy
rdagz_ 66 points 1y ago
How do you order “extra yummy” on a mobile order lol? I’ve never seen that option!
TylerJ716 34 points 1y ago
One of my posts on here, someone ordered heavy lemon which confused the hell out of me
8ultaoreune 21 points 1y ago
omg i have a heavy lemon customer too, they get a black tea lemonade?
aquamanreigns93 9 points 1y ago
i get a heavy lemon, light black tea every day at my store too
brokenbadatbest 3 points 1y ago
Heavy lemon is a joke among a couple of my coworkers
ayakowantsmemes 1 points 1y ago
It's covered up I think it's a cafe order with an ask me
Ajskdjurj 104 points 1y ago
I feel like people just press buttons.
Gingerpunchurface 101 points 1y ago
This shit needs to end. Corporate needs to put a stop to it by limiting add ons or something.
cs_phoenix 52 points 1y ago
How in the fuck is there still not a limit to modifications, it’s ridiculous.
okayishsamaritan 11 points 1y ago
Don't worry guys there's a limit; corporate graciously decided they can only add up to 12 of whatever mod they want in there so now there's no more problems! s/
tippinfedora 27 points 1y ago
I wonder if they’re using their free drink option to prank, or if someone is truly paying for this shit. Waste of time and resources either way.
NervosaNervous 83 points 1y ago
That short earl gray sticker is longer than the damn cup.
Nathy97 27 points 1y ago
This comment made me realize that wasn’t a Venti… WTF
Stellar-naut 75 points 1y ago
I would stand for my right to refuse service to someone. Because it wastes my time, my coworkers' time, and other customers' time.
kcycipotel 14 points 1y ago
And it waste the ingredients that we barely have!!
Stellar-naut 7 points 1y ago
Without a doubt! It would be so nice if we were able to limit certain drinks from cold foam due to "ingredient scarcity" (for example). Also when you add all of the pumps of syrup and sugar altogether in a trenta cup and it takes half the cup.. geez, where do I put the drink?

Had a mobile order way back with "Queen *so-and-so* the GREAT"

I called out her drink instead. She was not amused. I wasn't either.
normaldud 15 points 1y ago
I had a mobile at my old store that was “the alpha”, I always called the drink. Refused to say the mobile name
alien-emoji 2 points 1y ago
Yeah, I didn’t call out the names on orders like this. I called out the order with the important addons and walked away.

I had one guy go, “Aw, you don’t say the names?” I said, “Not those.”
Saradigm 65 points 1y ago
We get prank calls at my Starbucks. They called recently to say their drink was wrong. I was so helpful that it displeased them, as they eventually screamed “this is a prank” and hung up.
maemac 40 points 1y ago
I took a call one time that was obviously children pranking us and I said “put your mother on the phone” they hung up soooo fast. Only to call back a second later and pretend to be the mom apologizing. They were like 10 year olds lmao.
different_as_can_be 7 points 1y ago
oh i used to love prank calls. bc id just tell them it was “illegal” and that i’d contact the police. they didn’t know better, so i’d hear a small shriek and they’d hang up. that helped a lot.
bryceofswadia 44 points 1y ago
I just wouldn’t make it until the customer came in
ItzBoogieMan 27 points 1y ago
I’d that bullshit came by my store, I’m giving her a water only, with a splash of foot up your ass

Lmfao
saqueas 25 points 1y ago
We have a “Batman” who orders a single banana a few times a week and never picks it up. We’ve had similar drinks too, but also do the “see barista” method. People think they’re so cute.
roseshrub 24 points 1y ago
I mean, hope it was worth paying for I guess 🤷🏾‍♀️
femalehomosapien18 8 points 1y ago
Probably there free drink

“Beware:
malicious”
poopsh0t 14 points 1y ago
These are crazy. I can’t believe people order like this. I generally just pick a coffee. Pick a size and hit order. Maybe some times I’m not feeling whip cream and I’ll take that off or maybe add a flavor BUT DAMN.
jams1015 4 points 1y ago
Is your name poop(')s hot or poop shot?
poopsh0t 7 points 1y ago
Yes
darkwolf523 12 points 1y ago
The real crime is that short earl grey.

badtz_maru_666 9 points 1y ago
You could not fit all that in a short cup anyway I wouldn’t make it
keylimerose 8 points 1y ago
ew
raptoraptorr 7 points 1y ago
Yeah I wouldn’t do any of those orders! Except Very Good’s
E-X-P-A-N-D 7 points 1y ago
That’s fucked
CakeResponsible 6 points 1y ago
That is ridiculous! It must taste disgusting 🤮
Reddit-user-256 4 points 1y ago
Are they even able to get a refund on these or are these pranksters spending $$$??? I never understand why they’d do this
mrcupcake18 4 points 1y ago
Extra yummy?! Stoooooooop omg 😂😂
wunderkyn 3 points 1y ago
Sooooooooo…they wanna fight, is that what they’re getting at???🤨🤣
cpv_91 3 points 1y ago
#funnyNOTfunny and definitely NOT amused. I haven't gotten ones this bad but definitely have gotten novels that I have had to cram into tall cups. It's really gross when the syrups fill 1/3 of the cups and then they want extra milk/breve, extra VSC, extra whip, extra caramel.. Some of these drinks alone can account for the shortages we are experiencing. 🤦
miakodank 3 points 1y ago
My concern is the money they are wasting on the prank??
lily-amber 3 points 1y ago
omg my eyes fell out
SunBusiness8291 2 points 1y ago
No caramel crunch? Makes no sense.
dayahorne 2 points 1y ago
Why would you put caramel in your passion- oh its trolling okay okay
Standard-Pin1207 2 points 1y ago
When did the mobile order system allow w/room?
royrogersmacfreely 2 points 1y ago
Oh if i get this they get a refund and a have a nice day.
leviownsme 2 points 1y ago
how is it gonna be a short earl grey?!?!
[deleted] 1 points 1y ago
I had a bunch of teens come through and make up really stupid names. One was “hot stud” or something to that liking and I looked at him and said “I’m not calling this out.” They had their phones out and were most likely making a tiktok which pissed me off even more so I asked them to stop because I wasn’t a zoo animal here for their entertainment. They groaned because I wasn’t playing along and I was getting pissed off. They finally took their drinks complaining that I’d ruined their video so I yelled out “next time ask for consent to record before you act like that.”
rpeters91 1 points 1y ago
Sometimes I wonder if these are made up for a story lol
ZacW94 1 points 1y ago
What does extra yummy entail?
rest_aura_nt 1 points 1y ago
If someone has an appropriately funny name and a reasonable (aka like 0-2 mod) order I might chuckle a little. We had a customer do a rhyme with her name on a mobile for a simple earl grey and it was cute. This is not.
alanameowmeow 1 points 1y ago
Cray cray. It must have been a barista playing a joke with that Sh ticket
dallizzlee 1 points 1y ago
Did they have to pay for this?
lilcherry02 1 points 1y ago
this is when "we refuse the right to serve anyone" comes in handy
wendywendy5 -13 points 1y ago
The names are freaking funny. I had a customers name on mobiles be “Superman”
pandiechu 2 points 1y ago
lol idk why you got so many downvotes
