Rephrase the question, it helps!
RinnTheOtter2 points1y ago
I’ve noticed that people tend to understand hot vs cold better than hot vs iced. Especially for those that speak English as a second language, “cold” is more universally understood than “iced”.

gltgphone29 points1y ago
They didn't what?! That's my favourite drink ( not customer, former partner) still, at least that one sbux can still mostly make. Those smores people are SOL
interyx8 points1y ago
It's the toffee nut syrup shortage. Our Mid-Atlantic store hasn't had TN in probably six months, though I heard stores north of us were getting it back in. Our district gets everything absolutely last though.
They didn't make the salt this year without the syrup. It will probably be back next year. People ask year round for that drink.
JackyHighlightVideos17 points1y ago
“Sorry, actually don’t have that right now because of the supply chain issues.”
My store has been hit hard by that, we are literally completely out of mocha right now. Our most popular holiday drink is Peppermint Mocha. *Save me*

"Vanilla bean"
JackyHighlightVideos30 points1y ago
Me: “What size would you like?”
Customer: A regular.”
Me: “What do you mean by that?”
Customer: “Just a regular size.”
Me: (Visible confusion)
Me: “So a grande? That’s our medium.”
Customer: “Just a regular size.”
Me: “Okay...? I’ll just punch that in as a grande and we’ll get that ready right away!”
(Later)
Me: “Here you are, two Grande Strawberry Açai Lemonades”
Customer: “Is this a regular size?”
Me: “Well, I asked if you wanted our grande, which is a medium, and you seemed to affirm that, so I charged you for 2 Strawberry Açai Lemonades, and that’s what these are.”
Customer: “This isn’t a regular.”
Me: “Did you want this instead?” (Shows venti cup)
Customer: “No that’s still too small.”
Me: “Well the only size larger than this is our Trenta, which is our extra-large” (shows Trenta cup”
Customer: “Yeah! That’s the regular size!”
Me: (Visible confusion)
idkksue13 points1y ago
this!!
today someone asked for a regular pike and when we asked if they wanted grande they said “no. tall.”
JustAnotherRyan56 points1y ago
I literally just say “small, medium, or large?” Every time.
Me: “what size?”
Customer: “regular”
Me: “small medium large?”
Customer: “MEDIUM!“
Me: “….. so one grande…”
They almost always want medium so why not just say that? I know very few places that offer a “regular” size.
Fluffybunnybadass3 points1y ago
I'm a dick so I intentionally upsell their ass to the largest size bc I can genuinely argue the case that we sell the larger sizes "regularly", and they wanted a "regular".
Well, maybe if they're *nice* I won't do that.

Legit. Why does it have to splash so much?!?!
Fluffybunnybadass3 points1y ago
Tilt the cup at an angle and let it hit the [inner] wall of the cup. Idk the logistics/science behind it but it works. Alternatively, make sure all parts of the pump are correct (namely, does the neck/nozzle/exit point say "chai/frap roast" (or s/t like that) or does it say "white mocha/cbs mocha".)
mexicanitch118 points1y ago
10 coffees with every milk available. Can each milk be on the side in a medium cup? And every type of sugar in 20 packets each. On the side. With a bacon Gouda. And 3 cake pops. Never mind the type. And can you hurry? I'm going to be late. As they're in the drive thru.

JackyHighlightVideos12 points1y ago
Me: “May I have a name for your order?”
99% of customers: “Just on debit please”
Me: “But can I ask for your name? Just so we can call it out when it’s ready”
Customer: “Just on debit.”
It doesn’t matter what barista asks for a name, the customer will more often than not reply “just on debit”
Fluffybunnybadass2 points1y ago
....h-how.... I've literally heard that like maybe ONCE or twice in my time at sbux?? How do your people not have their ears open?!
JackyHighlightVideos1 points1y ago
I have a speech impediment that causes me to occasionally slur my words and not know it, we are also under a mask mandate in my province, plus there is a plastic thingy between the customer and POS worker, so there’s a reason it happens a lot. The masks and plastic is the reason it happens for others, and my speech impediment just makes it worse lol
Fluffybunnybadass2 points1y ago
>province
Outside US then, I assume? Because we didn't really get those in the few locations I've been to since covid. Then again, my store converted to a walk-up/DT so we didn't really need one at our inside front registers We sure could use one for our outside though, esp without an air fan 8l
(They gave us hanging ones that barely meet most people's eyes, and customers have a bad habit of speaking under it/sticking their heads into the window frame anyways. Yuck.)

That they say. At the window. After they've been waiting ten minutes for their stuff to be ready. Ten minutes where you easily could have grabbed it when they were waiting.

"oh! I know it's last minute, but can I get a venti cup of ice too?"

A positive one, woo!
My coworkers and I jokingly argue over who gets to make the Pupachino lol. It’s pretty great
Fluffybunnybadass2 points1y ago
Me: "there better be a dog in that car....."
If there isn't, i joke with the customer that that's the price of a pup cup. The ones that get it for their kids tho........

Not sure if it’s still a thing but when I worked there the pharma reps would come through each morning with a list of like 30-50 drinks for the different doctors offices. Mostly Frappuccinos and other pita to make drinks and they would never tip. This was on top of the regular morning rush.

“Actually I wanted (soy/oat/almond/coconut) milk.”
—Just yesterday this lady was like is it too late to change the milk?
—And me already steaming the 2% goes yes.
—Can I get oat milk instead?
—We are outta oat milk.
—How about almond?
—Well it’s too late to change it since I finish steaming it but you can pay for it.
—She looked annoyed and went to pay for it.
Yes I am that petty, I charged her 87 cents. People that ask for cold foam after too, I charged them, which also happened yesterday and yes I charged her 1.09. Just pay for the extra of you want your drink to be that fancy.

I was doing both DTO/DTR and a lady legit ordered "a Starbucks" and expected me to know what she meant. I kept asking what she wanted and insisted that "a Starbucks" was a specific drink. I may complain about asking what size and hot or iced, but that one takes the cake.
It was a Grande Mocha Frappucino, btw.
