I have 2 comments about this post.

#1- screw this guy 😌✨
#2- I love the backsplash your location has. Mine just had boring white walls 😪
erinjennie 5 points 1y ago
I also thought the backsplash was great.

Lol for some reason all delivery sandwiches never say warmed on them... sometimes the paninis will say not warmed, but for breakfast sandwiches, we usually warm them 🙃

They won't be "warm" by the time the customer gets them anyway.
Pete-_-Zahut 2 points 1y ago
The default for sandwiches is warmed. Should say so on the food ingredient cards.

i feel bad if i order over three things like how are these people not aware??
brokenleftjoycon 21 points 1y ago
I am so tired of people using Starbucks as a catering service.
deeciphered 15 points 1y ago
Getting mad when that order and the 4 traveller's they ordered at the window aren't ready immediately.
brokenleftjoycon 5 points 1y ago
We ran out of traveler containers at my store. It’s been great!
deeciphered 2 points 1y ago
I bet!
rterrebo 14 points 1y ago
That's all for one order!?! Are you shitting me? Haha
rivveeerrrrr [OP] 20 points 1y ago
And they ordered it through Uber so of course the driver came in five minutes later 🙃
rterrebo 6 points 1y ago
What a dick move.

So idk about y'all but I'm not a fan of Instacart or anything of that matter because OFC they don't have a clue what the customer wants or how they want it.
blandrogyny 7 points 1y ago
we've had a string of drivers who just. do not want to contact the customer for a change to their order if we're unable to contact them. 'just throw a giftcard in the bag' no? you have a better connection with the customer, ask what they would like.

and it's usually for items that we have marked out on mobiles already but somehow!! uber was able to order it!
deeciphered 10 points 1y ago
I've had multiple drivers call the person and just hand me their cell and I've had to improvise.

"HI I'm a barista at Starbucks unfortunately were actually out of the ingredients to complete your order is there anything else we can grab for you today?"

Annoying to be thrown into a phonecall with no warning on someone else's cellphone
TheOnesLeftBehind 5 points 1y ago
You can actually edit the price of the Uber order from your tablet. If you don’t have an item.
krym32zamoon 3 points 1y ago
For uber you can call the customer yourself from getting the number and code from the tablet by clicking in the order the. Contact the customer. I usually call if we're out of an item and ask what else they'd like in place of it and if nothing then they can ask for a refund through uber.
rterrebo 2 points 1y ago
Ain't that how it be though? Lol
lilgian1 12 points 1y ago
I rather 20 sandwiches than 20 drinks. Imagine 20 shaken oat espressos ? A nightmare !
rivveeerrrrr [OP] 11 points 1y ago
Oh we had someone order 16 vanilla lattes shortly after 🥰🥰🥰
Accurate-Bumblebee14 6 points 1y ago
Could have been 16 frappuccinos.. all different
Baristanotforlife 9 points 1y ago
I hope they were still frozen in the middle 😂 and didn’t get cooked through
HolmesHommie 8 points 1y ago
Out of curiosity, what was the one drink?
rivveeerrrrr [OP] 9 points 1y ago
A coffee traveler lol
chunibi 7 points 1y ago
100 dollars on sandwiches 💀
lost_my_remote 6 points 1y ago
4-5 per oven i hope
keegsdefense 5 points 1y ago
I actually would’ve canceled that Uber order
the_REAL_nihilist 5 points 1y ago
How could you do this to someone? I don’t get it
Jadenvicious1 4 points 1y ago
Who orders 1 drink and 20 food items......
rivveeerrrrr [OP] 2 points 1y ago
The one drink was a coffee traveler 🥰🙃
mikkykk 4 points 1y ago
A prime example why automated ordering is trash and will never work. Our customers are too dumb to make big orders a WEEK in advance.
no0dles130 4 points 1y ago
Throw all of them in at once and warm it as sausage
sh3nan1gans_ 3 points 1y ago
Saturday’s are the worst. O
taylortherod 3 points 1y ago
One time some fuckers at my store ordered 10 impossibles. I wanted to tell them to go to Burger King
DesignerSpell 3 points 1y ago
No wonder all the food was out of stock.... all I wanted was one reduced fat turkey bacon....😥
rivveeerrrrr [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Lol and with auto ordering.... We get so little food that this killed like a quarter of our sausage egg cheddar and bacon gouda stock for the day 😭🤦🏽‍♀️
RinnTheOtter 3 points 1y ago
You know, I used to hate these people, but now I just take advantage and put the ungodly number of slow cooking sandwiches together myself while watching everything else in flames around me 🙂

Edit: As I look back I this I notice the hex design on the wall and I just wanna say that’s awesome
haydensidun 3 points 1y ago
Who the fuck places an Uber Eats order at 5 AM
Gameb0i6 3 points 1y ago
Then they complain why their food is cold. Well you took 20 minutes to get it.
Bhaisaab86 3 points 1y ago
Unrelated, but I love your store’s backsplash tiles. My store opened three months ago and the white tiles are permanently stained yellow from the oven exhaust.
Paprmoon7 3 points 1y ago
Maybe they were a small business buying sandwiches for their workers on the busy “small business Saturday”?
Dismal_Beginning_199 2 points 1y ago
What the hell
lemonjeu 2 points 1y ago
I would've simply k*ll'd myself
Necessary_Low939 1 points 1y ago
One time I had a tour come in 🙄
kizzythaboss 1 points 1y ago
How are they allowed to do this? I thought we all only pulled a certain amount of sandwiches per day? I'd have to hir somebody to square up with him when he got home. 😭
reclusivegiraffe 1 points 1y ago
and one drink!
rivveeerrrrr [OP] 1 points 1y ago
It was a coffee traveler 🥰🙃
