Grande puppacino? All we can give out is sample sizes

I guess it's different for us in drive thru stores. We get to see the dogs, and dogs are always the most pleasant customers we have, so I don't mind them at all!

I dont mind when people get them but people who come through every day or insist i give them a bigger cup than the sample size ones we use (one dude wouldn’t leave until i gave him a full venti sized cup for his pug) make me really sad bc theyre really just not good for dogs

I don't like them because they're horrible for your dogs. Especially people who get it for their dogs everyday 🤢

i… kinda like them? i mean i didn’t have any people trying to get one for themselves yet but when we are not busy i always offer it if there’s a puppy in the car. if we are busy though ill just pretend i didn’t just hear a bark coming from somewhere in your vehicle

It gets annoying after a bit, specially in the middle of peak . Also whipped cream is bad for dogs lol

I don’t mind when people actually place them with their order. What bothers me is when people consistently ask for them at the window. Just. Ask. For. Them. When. You. Order!!! Same with water cups man.

Sample size all day any day loved doing it. Grande sized?????? Who approved this

They get annoying when people don’t order them at the register and then bother you during peak at the handoff. Same goes for people who ask for ice water after the fact. If it’s too busy, I’ll tell them they need to wait in line and that often discourages them. It really breaks your concentration and sequencing when people do it during peak.

One of our stores had a box of milkbones too. I wouldn't ever argue with folks about the puppacinos, but they're awful for your dog. I'd just let them know we had biscuits as well, hoping they'd choose that option. Also we only have out sample sizes as well, GRANDE puppacinos? TF???

Unpopular but I never cared for the dogs that come to DT. my other partners fawn over them but I just keep it pushing. Job made my enthusiasm for costumer connect plummet 🥴

They were definitely giving those to their kids. I had a customer that would get one with a spoon and then hand it to their toddler.

We give them in the cold cup sampler they don't get short cups of whip from our store

We only guve a doppio sized puppaccino. It's a treat, not a bloody meal!

If I can see and talk to the doggy, I’m happy to get a puppuccino, but I don’t like to get used for free whip for humans

Short cups are for short drinks. We need to get a designated “pup cup” ALOT SMALLER. i don’t care. It’s fucking heavy cream and vanilla for your dog… YOU SHOULDNT WANT ALOT?????

Free? We charged them 75 cents in a small cup.

Our rule was it was 1 pup cup per person (no exceptions) and if it was any bigger than a short sized we charged for it (also no exceptions). We work w a lot of kids lmao 😩😭

I have to share this. Every time I think of puppaccinos, this video comes to mind and makes me laugh.

Yep, I hate that shit. Heavy cream and vanilla syrup doesn't do much for humans, but it's really not great for dogs, especially every damn day. Plus, they're annoying to make and the people asking for them are so fucking demanding.

giving out puppacinos in the drive thru is my fav part of the day hahaha but like everyone said we only give out sample sizes and I’ve never rly encountered anyone ask for more than that so I could definitely see how it would get annoying when running low and ppl keep insisting on extra

You guys in starbucks have a lot of patience.

I hate them because they’re not that good for dogs and it just makes me feel SO bad giving them out!

when I was little (and starbucks was still diedrich’s coffee in socal) my mom used to get me little cup of whip cream if I was good, I don’t mind doing this for kids or the puppuccinos. some of our regulars and I will swap pictures of their pups and my kittens. idk I think it’s fun

Frequently, when I’m on window or see the dog in the camera on DTO and the customer doesn’t ask for one, I’ll offer them up. They’ve never been an inconvenience at my store, and it makes the customer feel though of that I’m offering things that they didn’t ask for. It usually makes them and their puppy smile. I love giving out puppachinos

They’re my favorite part of the day, although there definitely aren’t sizes for them. You get a sample cup.

Wait. You quit, but you are still upset enough to post about drinks the store offered for free? You got paid to be there. I know it's easy to stress out about something nobody in the corporate office is stressing out about.

If you had a problem with supply, you could have asked your manager if there are any size or quantity limitations to avoid being out of stock prematurely.

The manager could have reviewed basic rules, if any for the drink, and go from there. If the manager didn't sweat about it, then I wouldn't. The manager could buy more HC at a local grocery store, or from Target.

You run out of HC, oh well, someone should he ordering more based on current demand or buying some from a local grocery store if needed. It wouldn't be the first time a Starbucks Store was out of a product, so I wouldn't have sweated it.

My problem with the puppuccinos is they often ask for one at the window or if I offer them one at the window once I see they have a dog in their car, there's this one barista I work with who is dying on the hill of "do not touch anything on the bar if you're working drive-thru." Even though lots of our COVID protocols are gone now and COVID really doesn't spread that way. Anyway, if she's on the bar or working drive-thru with me, I've gotta get a bar barista's attention and ask for a puppuccino and then get one. That's not easy, and it takes a long time where the customer's waiting for a simple-ass drink to make. The sample cups and the whipped cream are literally a foot away from me, but \*GeRmS\*.
