Whether I'm on bar or DTO or wherever I Hate hearing the Phrase "Hi, can we get 2,3,4,5+ separate orders?"
Edit: two is my general “yeah ok that’s fine no problem”. Limit any more than that and I just get kinda irritated about it

I don't mind 2 separate orders as much, but if it's 3+ I'm just confused as to why you wouldn't come inside-- pisses me off

I can’t stand this either. Venmo exists. CashApp exists. You can get debit cards with both. Just Venmo each other.

Or have a system where one persons pays one trip, another pays another trip, and so on and so forth.
sammieduck694202 points1y ago
right- like splitwise.
literally so many options to make it so you don’t need to separate order
rio8envy71 points1y ago
How can I politely decline? If I’m not busy it’s fine but I can’t always say there’s a line when there clearly isn’t and I’m not busy.
sammieduck694202 points1y ago
just say the system is being slow or something different this time making it so you can only do individual and not split transactions? in the end you’re the one at the register so they gotta listen to you but i’d just recommend some bs reason that’s understandable

I say two or three separate orders should be the max. Anymore than that, come inside ..

Most times I'll say "If it's helpful, I can split the total at the window" the only people I'll make an exception for is a car full or partners... which happens a lot where I'm at lol.

2 is ok...mildly annoying...no more than 2 though then I stop masking my annoyance
skinniestbarista4 points1y ago
Your store doesn't have a rule to not take more than two orders at the box??? I was told that if it is more than two, make them go around the whole drive-thru again. I just always assumed it was a corporate thing,

I usually have this problem with teenagers. they'll place 4 separate orders && all pay cash, like wtf 😩
BaristaWoosa5 points1y ago
They’re usually the same car that burst out into giggles after every 3 words for no apparent reason it’s like pulling teeth to get through their order 🙄🙄🙄
BlackberryOpposite312 points1y ago
Yeah when they do this and pay cash I get so confused. Like you can do it on the same order it’s not that different
LilKaySigs3 points1y ago
Just told a woman I can only do 2 after asking to do 4. She scanned both transactions with the same fucking card

I used to game my orders all the time to get the bonus star challenges. But, you know, I did that via mobile order. Because I'm not an asshole.
canidieyet_2 points1y ago
someone tried to do 12 separate orders once 🤡 (yes we made them come inside)
rio8envy72 points1y ago
I’ll make them work for it if they try and give me 3 orders from the passenger or back seat. If I can’t take multiple orders I say I can’t. Some people don’t even ask they just place the first order and then say there’s a second one. Like uhh no. Do they not know Venmo and CashApp are a thing or…
diotheleo1 points1y ago
i tend to ask people to come inside as soon as they say they have more than 3, and most of the times my ssv's back me up on it bc we're such a high volume store we cant waste that much time in the drive thru without our sm freaking out on us. had a lady want to do 8 seperate order in the drive thru, all single drinks, all paid with on the same debit card, bc she needed receipts. as if they dont print every item on 1 receipt, but nahhh. every drink needed a different name on it for everyone she was getting them for, even though they were ALL JUST BLACK TEA UNSWEETENED NO DIFFERENCES. she got SO mad that i told her to come inside too like. maam the fuck you think this is.
ftsktln1 points1y ago
The worst thing is when they do this in the drive thru and then pay with the same card… like what’s the point.
RareLingonberry1 points1y ago
At my old dt store our rule was any more than 2 orders you had to come inside because why would you separate orders at all in a drive thru
