Venti, in a Tall cup? I thought this was a prank until they showed up. Can I throw syrup bottles at them? They got a tea and and some lemonade and we said it was a system malfunction and we had to apologize. Ughhhhh! F…This! (i.redd.it)

this is horrendous and shouldn’t be allowed but the name being “warm yummy tea” took me out

I’m sorry mam but there is a tea in your syrup

This is a major asshole move in a way I can’t even fully comprehend yet… cause there’s so much to process. They actually clicked every button. I would stick this sticker right on my damn mastrena until the person showed up. Then I’d start asking what they actually want until they realize how ridiculous they are. I’m surprised this isn’t delivery. Usually these people aren’t bold enough to show their face in the store lol

Think my brain broke trying to process the whole thing

Do the people who order these actually have to pay for it?
neopossums 12 points 1y ago
if it’s a mobile order like this then yes, payment is required before it’ll send it to us <3

Usually they do it with their points :/ we had a guy who would put some ridiculous stuff like this every other time he got a 150point reward 💀💀💀 in the end we just stopped making it CUS we recognized his name after the first three times
existenaliens 2 points 1y ago
I wonder what's the real purpose for these people!? Just to see how much product they can have wasted? I highly doubt they actually savor the beverage.
DarlingMollie 2 points 1y ago
I think they just want to cause trouble 😔
blackclad_ 9 points 1y ago
its the fact that it also says w/room 😭 like all of that syrup wont even fit into a tall cup

Is this a joke

Malicious order. You can't steep tea in four inches of room temp syrup. Put it on a pastry bag in the pickup area and make them ask you about it. Play dumb and just say you want to make sure you craft the most delicious drink that's exactly what they want.
boopsbittie 2 points 1y ago
Just curious why do you say put it on a pastry bag
_abbycadabby_ 3 points 1y ago
Oh, it's just an easy way to make sure they spot it in the mobile handoff area and I can write a clear message on it instead of writing tiny on the sticker. Empty cups get knocked over or thrown away in my experience.

The fact that you're pointing out the tall in a venti rather than the stupidly long list of mods is amazing.

These customers are the WORST

side note… you have raspberry?

I- that sticker wouldn't even fit on a tall cup let alone all the freakin syrup
canithoe 1 points 1y ago
Unless that is a tall cup, then it barely freakin fits, but my point still stands
Pies-in-the-Skies 3 points 1y ago
I had people order like that before, but they either didn’t understand the sizes and thought the tall was the largest cup, or accidentally clicked it.
ladyshastadaisy 3 points 1y ago
Wait...is this one drink?
pearcorpse 2 points 1y ago
i gotta know…did it fit or did you have to put it in a larger cup
_pkthunder 1 points 1y ago
I seriously don't believe this. Like you're just trolling right OP? Lol

I dont get these people ordering all this crazy stuff.. I went into a Starbucks and asked what hot coffee was brewed and they said pike.. I hate pike.. I asked for Komodo, and the manager looked at me and said No.. we dont have it...

I pointed at a bag of it and said Yes.. its right there.. She glared at me and said "What we have made is PIKE..NO KOMODO"

Didn't offer a pour over..nothing...

I couldn't get simple brewed coffee but these mental patients can order these 47 ingredient drinks and its ok?

🤷‍♀️

My store will only offer a pour over of bagged coffee (i.e. Komodo) if you buy the whole bag, since it’s a $20 bag of coffee that we will likely have to throw out in 7 days. Large waste of product if someone just wants one cup
potatopoisoning 30 points 1y ago
Corporate policy is to make the pour over if the customer requests, whether or not they are buying the bag. That manager was wrong in no uncertain terms.

Good to know.. I never went back to that one.
