Used to have a regular who'd as for 4 ice cubes exactly, 3 for his wife's drink. Y'all customers are fucking TRIPPING if u think I'm gonna count your ice for you 😭 I'm busy you get half a scoop

I have a (regular) customer who always asks for 3 ice cubes. It has to be exactly 3.
ItzBoogieMan 7 points 1y ago
Give her 3 and eat one
Crowchick1731 16 points 1y ago
Lmao I'd so put 11 or 12. Are you actually counting them? (The customer not you)
hannamarinsgrandma 23 points 1y ago
Yes.

Someone said a customer once asked for 32 pumps of syrup in their tea then complained, insisting there was only 17 pumps

Not 15, 16, or 20 but specifically 17.

there’s a guy at my store that asks for 4 ice cubes in his pike. 4 ICE CUBES that will DEFINITELY MELT by the time he gets it

I never actually count how many I put lmao

My SM asks for a couple ice cubes in her black coffee so she can drink it right away
bootrick 7 points 1y ago
I mean, a specific number of ice cubes is most reasonable in drip coffee. Melting and lowering the temperature is the point.

theres a regular at my store that orders a venti mango dragonfruit but with only 1 berry

i put at least 3 in every time
canidieyet_ 2 points 1y ago
I’ve gotten orders like this. Someone asked for 2 ice cubes, I put 3 by mistake. You’d think I just insulted his entire bloodline
Opposite_Ferret6480 8 points 1y ago
I prefer light ice myself, but being that specific, at that point dude just ask for no ice in your drink and a tall cup of ice on the side and do it yourself, we don’t have time to count your ice cubes 😭 I understand if you need to have it be exact like if you have OCD difficulties or are picky about watery coffee but no barista is gonna happily do that unless business is slow as heck or they genuinely think it’s funny..
BovineCurds 8 points 1y ago
Like at that point just order it no ice lol

i got yelled at because the 10 ice cubes in a HOT americano melted
eunoiadrea 3 points 1y ago
I’ve had someone say 1 Ice cube
darkwolf523 1 points 1y ago
Damn you beat me. Had someone asked for 2
Brgnbo 3 points 1y ago
This guy today asked for five ice cubes in his coffee, they all melted and he got upset he didn’t get ice in it.

Customer asks for two strawberries in their ice water 😩with no water🧐
dangerousdeliights 2 points 1y ago
i had a regular who ordered four ice cubes with her drink. when i made it for the first time, she leaned over to tell me about it, and my coworkers had to tell her i already knew
Ok_Branch_4416 1 points 1y ago
We have a regular who either gets a trenta strawberry açaí with light water or a venti brown sugar shaken espresso and if they have more than 5 ice cubes she throws an absolute fit it’s so annoying 🙄
dallizzlee [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Omg how do you even shake espresso without ice

Y’all lmao, we once had a woman order an iced matcha with light ice. One of my baristas handed it her out the window and she proceeded to promptly throw it right back IN THE WINDOW because it “had more than 12 cubes of ice.” At the time, we didn’t have a store manager so we remade it and asked her not to come back. Our manager now says if that ever happens again, we’re calling the police for assault. I wish we’d done that at the time 🙄

We have a woman who wants her frap made with exactly one ice cube. Just to complain that “we always make it too watery but I’ve been standing her x amount of minutes so I GUESS I’ll take it” every time
Roseyy-Girl 1 points 1y ago
So, not an ice situation, but back when raspberry syrup was a thing, we had someone that would get a venti water with 5 pumps rb and2 berry pieces on top. Idk why, I guess presentation, but yeah.
