I find it ironic that a traditional frappe actually more resembles a Starbucks Double shot on Ice, or Shaken Espresso as they recently changed the name.

Frappes first popped up in Greece is in the 50s-60s; they used Nescafe instant coffee shaken with sugar and milk to make a frothy coffee drink.

Modern Frappuccinos come from a New England coffee chain that Starbucks bought out in order to use the trademarked name. It's why they push us so hard to say frappuccino, because it reinforces brand recognition and that name was paid for with hard cash. If you look in the standards for calling out beverages we're actually supposed to say "frappuccino blended beverage" every time we call one out. Which is a little far imo, lol.

Yeah, that’s why she tipped me a five lol.

My SM sucks but my Shift Lead is amazing.

I am unnecessarily annoyed at very specific non important things 😂

You'll notice it bothers you more when your patience is already running thin.

Sbux calls frappes “Frappuccinos”. There might be some small differences between the two but they’re essentially the same thing but the same menu item at two different places can taste different due to slight ingredient differences (I.e. brand of mocha).

The customer in this situation seemed to think that they were two different things and that Sbux had both on the menu.

yes sorry that’s what i meant!

Nothing better than hearing ‘I’d like a white chocolate mocha’ followed up with a blank stare when I ask ‘Hot, iced or Frappuccino?’

I do this too.
