A man asked me if I could read.(self.starbucksbaristas)

Today I put more than two ice cubes in a customer’s americano and he asked how many I put in there. I proceeded to see that the label said “two ice cubes”, then apologized and began remaking the drink. He asked why I didn’t put two in there and I apologized and said I’m only human and that I make mistakes. Then he asked me if I could read. FML

Woah what a dick. I’m so sorry you had to put up with his abuse

why do they ask for exactly two ice cubes anyways? they’ll melt in 2 seconds and don’t make a difference… he needs to calm down

He told the barista on register that it makes a HUGE difference haha but I bet if I put three ice cubes in there then he’d have no clue 😂

I do this all the time with rude customers that piss me off. If they specify ice cube numbers I give them one more or one less. Sometimes it’s two more or two less. Never the number they wanted. They never notice. It’s very funny to me though.

I'd just put my bare hand in and take the one ice cube out

I’d stick those 2 ice cubes right up his ***

The customer her is a whole ass so just throwing ice at him seems sufficient

I had a customer challenge my dignity once. Claimed I maid his coffee wrong on purpose. (Like no dude, I want you to get on with your day so I can stop being harassed by you.) I remade it for him 3 times. Manager stepped in and handled the rest. Also misgendered me… on purpose. 😒

i had a guy ask me “did you smoke pot before you came here young lady” bc i asked him to repeat his order :/ he’s always so rude whenever he comes in that i just have to ignore it lol

People that say young lady to people who are over the age of 18 infuriate me. I'd have to restrain myself from saying no old man im just doing 3 different jobs and can't put your order in through an oven across the store from the pos

To which you said, "don't you mean *count*, or are you human like me?"

What an ass. Just remember that this is about HIS shit, not you! Some people just behave badly.

I regularly joke about not being able to read if I mis-make an order, but if a customer inferred that I (or any of my team) couldnt read I'd make them leave without a drink.

I’d look him dead in the eye and say “kinda, I’m dyslexic.” Just to make him feel like shit. I’m not dyslexic but just to prove a point I would say it.

I love when people go that far because then I feel justified and emboldened in halting everything and asking them to repeat themselves and explain what they mean. If they’re bold enough to say it the first time then they can explain what they mean. Make ‘em say it again. Make the conversation uncomfortably long. “Excuse me? Why would you ask me that?” And then when you can tell they’re uncomfortable that when you keep the conversation going. “Why would you ask me that? I already remade it for you the way you want it. It’s not necessary to make fun of me. Do you just hate me? Do I displease you? Why would you feel it’s necessary to say mean things. I didn’t say anything mean to me. Do you think I’m just here for you to make fun of me?” You just keep ‘em coming until they regret ever starting the conversation. And then you just keep going on. It’s pretty fun.

What a fucking asswipe. Some guy started pounding on the counter because my coworker asked him to repeat his order, and I was just waiting in the wings, so ready to tell him where to go if he was going to continue being a fuckhead to her. I don’t care enough about this job to kowtow to people who act like THAT.
