“You guys don’t know the meaning of light ice!” (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by kimememememe
Mini rant about a *lovely* customer today. A lady comes in and orders a “Venti pink drink with light ice and no strawberry inclusions.” Okay, easy enough I can do that. I tend to pour heavy, so as I’m making her drink the liquid goes halfway up past the top of the milk line for the trenta size. I then add half a scoop of tall ice, not even a full scoop, and I send it out.

She and her boyfriend are standing on the side still waiting for his drink when I overhear her angrily telling him “these people don’t know how to do light ice! I said LIGHT! Look how far the ice goes down it’s practically half ice! I should have them remake it.” The boyfriend told her not to cause a scene and they just left after his drink came out, but man did her comments annoy me. If you want like 5 ice cubes just say that ma’am jeez.

If she comes in again make it with one ice cube… and take unopened boxes of SAR and coconut milk that haven’t been refrigerated yet. She can enjoy her warm strawberry milk.

God did you not know that light ice means 1 ice cube?!?!?!?!
People like this bug the shit out of me! I don’t have a crystal ball miss, I can’t read your mind and know you want practically NO ice!

I hate customers who get all bent out of shape over ice. So I shake the thing a shite ton and then make sure that the customer watches me as I fancy pour it into their cup. Using the lid to hold all the ice until the liquid is out of the shaker.gives it the look of light ice without having to think too much about it.

Thats so annoying. I prefer the customers that say they literally want 5 ice cubes and ill do so

I really *love* the customers who get pissed over ice. One of our regulars orders an Americano with exactly 3 ice cubes. He somehow has the superpower of knowing exactly how many ice cubes are in the cup by touching it, so God forbid you put in 6 or you'll have to completely remake it!

People really lose their shit over ice. Just ask for no ice and a cup of ice on the side.

Had someone call over the phone and complain that I “didn’t know what light ice meant.” I had done half the usual amount…I think people just want to complain about something sometimes.
