A frustrating experience (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Blubblubturtle
I'm all by myself, 10 minutes from close, a couple comes in and they want two hot chocolates. No prob bob coming right up. And then the girl goes. "Okay this is going to sound weird, but you know how they have iced coffee? Can I have iced hot chocolate?" I look at her kinda weird but say "sure, but it's just going to be chocolate milk. Is that okay?" She says sure, so I go and make the drinks. Hand them over, she takes one sip and asks me what it is. I said "it's chocolate milk, I asked you if that's what you wanted" she takes a drink of her boyfriends and goes, "oh no, I wanted a hot chocolate with ice in it so it isn't hot" okay, whatever, I remake the drink, hand it to her. She takes a sip and makes a face and says "that'll do I guess". ITS THE SAME THING AS HER BOYFRIEND'S. He at least gave me multiple sympathetic glances and tried to explain to her that she was making no sense. This whole interaction pushed me past close and I had no coworkers to vent to, so you guys get to hear it.

TL;DR: Don't order cold hot chocolate and then be surprised when you get chocolate milk

I blame all these places like DD and dairy queen serving "frozen hot chocolate" which is basically a mocha creme frap, so dummies get the idea that hot chocolate is something different than just hot chocolate milk..

It really makes me wonder what else an iced hot chocolate could possibly be to these people??

How is it not common sense that an "iced hot chocolate" would just be chocolate milk? The world may never know.

In the first one, did you put ice/whip/chocolate curls and a dome lid on it to make it all purty? Because that's what I think she was going for, something all girly and cute, not a cup of chocolate milk like she's 5 years old

She got it in one of the holiday hot cups and asked for no whip, not a lot of wiggle room there lol

That’s wasting product. They are doubling down on waste with the auto orders so that would be frowned upon.
