getcassedfag 28 points 1y ago
we’re out of coffee base but fingers crossed that the shortage on that means we use up all the cream base 🤩🤩

puppyboidrew 2 points 1y ago
my store in LA doesn’t have coffee base, but we still have cream base :/ we ran out completely for like one closing shift and it was amazing, but then my manager ordered more 🙄
dotzlerlaura 15 points 1y ago
A customer today- “Well can’t you just add more milk?”

😩 you’re not wrong sir.
pickled_goblin 6 points 1y ago
see this is why I lie to customers about why we don’t currently offer something, they think they can get me to macgyver a drink for them if they suggest some hack.

We are on our last 2 bottles of creme base. Ran out of coffee base 2 days ago. I've literally dreamed of this day. NO MORE FRAPPS! *cheers Starbuddies!* (until they get more base at the warehouses) 😉

Ok so since Arizona’s running out how about we just stop for good
I hate it here please help-
cokecane2713 1 points 1y ago
hi can you send some my way thanks
Amalathecreator 1 points 1y ago
Damn y’all are lucky. Our store makes us use classic syrup and during peak it’s such a bitch when the frapps come out chunky, spilling out of the blender and all over the cup and what I would assume doesn’t taste that good.
New-Ad4364 1 points 1y ago
hopefully it spreads to utah 🤞🏼
anonymous1991pj 1 points 1y ago
Honestly it would be better if they got rid of them altogether.
MathematicianExact42 1 points 1y ago
I’m in Fresno CA and my store just ran out today. I was so happy to turn customers away 🤣
Micandizzy94 1 points 1y ago
I’m in Arizona and we have base still 🥲
ShareInternational74 1 points 1y ago
We just got em back at our store 😭
Mulattobutts420 1 points 1y ago
I never understood the frappuccino hate, since in my experience, aside from the bs secret menu or holiday-specific fraps, most of them are the most standardized and simplified on the menu to make, aside from teas and iced coffee I guess. The only ones that really annoyed me were the multi-layered whip ones.
Zara_Doana 1 points 1y ago
Our store (Alaska) just ran out yesterday. I hope we get base back soon because I actually like cold bar!
Suki_Supercute 1 points 1y ago
For us we just ran out of whole milk, but they got more at Target XD
willywankaz432 1 points 1y ago

Momo-ko_the_Fox 1 points 1y ago
We still have to make frappe. We just have to alert customers that it’ll look and taste different. So our store was left out of the Frappuccino exemption.
Markedsoultheif 1 points 1y ago
I am almost certain my store is gonna be fine because we have two shelves worth of both bases in the back.

Why can’t y’all just let people order what they want to? (Except if it’s crazy, that I understand)
LKP95 [OP] 3 points 1y ago
That is precisely the problem. It's always crazy. Frappuccinos take longer to make than other drinks. Customers always have crazy customizations that make me take an extra minute or two to make. I honestly would have been fine if we were out of something other Frappuccinos. It just means a few less items on our menu that we have to make. It gives us a break from the constant chaos and business that is Customer Service. My store specifically makes $10,000 a day and we never stop moving. I don't hate Frappuccinos but I am enjoying the break from making them.
Batgrill 1 points 1y ago
So for Starbucks baristas the hardest part is making Frappuccinos? I didn't know that.
Is it at least a little better if I don't have any extra wishes?
mama_bibi 6 points 1y ago
Honestly one frap here or there isn't that big a deal. It's not that bad. It's when there are multiple different ones all at the same time. I can make a frap fast if it's a basic recipe. So yea adding a lot of customizations will for sure make it worse. But it's the bouncing from one bar to the other constantly that makes people tired because the majority of stores won't have a barista on cold bar which means one person is making espresso drinks (hot bar, even if it's an iced latte or cold brew) and that same person has to go over to make fraps or refreshes (cold bar)
LKP95 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
I also don't want to discourage you from ordering a Frappuccino. When we get them back in store, I would like people to enjoy them. I'm just enjoying the little break from them right now.
Batgrill 1 points 1y ago
I just don't want to make life harder on anyone (:
