First_Leather_11595 points1y ago
Give it a couple days/weeks!! We only had creme base for 2 weeks and then we ran out entirely
getcassedfag28 points1y ago
we’re out of coffee base but fingers crossed that the shortage on that means we use up all the cream base 🤩🤩

puppyboidrew2 points1y 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 🙄
dotzlerlaura15 points1y ago
A customer today- “Well can’t you just add more milk?”
😩 you’re not wrong sir.
pickled_goblin6 points1y 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.

So curious what would you say instead?

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-
cokecane27131 points1y ago
hi can you send some my way thanks
Amalathecreator1 points1y 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-Ad43641 points1y ago
hopefully it spreads to utah 🤞🏼
anonymous1991pj1 points1y ago
Honestly it would be better if they got rid of them altogether.
MathematicianExact421 points1y ago
I’m in Fresno CA and my store just ran out today. I was so happy to turn customers away 🤣
Micandizzy941 points1y ago
I’m in Arizona and we have base still 🥲
ShareInternational741 points1y ago
We just got em back at our store 😭
Mulattobutts4201 points1y 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_Doana1 points1y ago
Our store (Alaska) just ran out yesterday. I hope we get base back soon because I actually like cold bar!
Suki_Supercute1 points1y ago
For us we just ran out of whole milk, but they got more at Target XD
willywankaz4321 points1y ago
I actually like making fraps though...

Momo-ko_the_Fox1 points1y 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.
Markedsoultheif1 points1y ago
I am almost certain my store is gonna be fine because we have two shelves worth of both bases in the back.

RamiTrolleyFan0 points1y ago
Why can’t y’all just let people order what they want to? (Except if it’s crazy, that I understand)
LKP95 [OP]3 points1y 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.
Batgrill1 points1y 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_bibi6 points1y 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 points1y 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.
Batgrill1 points1y ago
I just don't want to make life harder on anyone (:
