Have you ever called out the wrong drink name before? (self.starbucksbaristas)

After making a frappucino, I always bellow out the drink name followed by crappucino. 😂😂😂

Accidentally called out an Irish Car Bomb as opposed to Irish Cream Cold Brew.

Have you ever called out the drink name when it was “Chris3003815171999375”. Yes this dude actually exists. There also a cool customer who puts Batman as his name and I always call it out with the “jingle” “dananananana BATMAN “
rterrebo [OP] 8 points 1y ago
No! But I would so enjoy that! Lol
hottea_bae 8 points 1y ago
Between you and me, my name use to be Beyoncé on my mobile orders. Loved the reactions I’d get from that. Lol
rterrebo [OP] 3 points 1y ago
That sounds pretty ballin tbh. Haha.
I should just add Reynolds to my first name and people be like "ohhhh it's Deadpool!" 😂

CheyenneJudith 3 points 1y ago
I have someone who always puts his name as Batman too lol
BatWeary 1 points 1y ago
my store has regular mobile orders who have their names set as batman, spider-man, wonder woman, hannah montana, and i feel like there’s another one i’m forgetting
brokenleftjoycon 21 points 1y ago
I stumble through any of the specialty shaken espresso drinks and the caramel ribbon crunch. The names are just too fucking long.

“Brown sugar oat…thing for Kyle!”
rterrebo [OP] 5 points 1y ago
Like I'll start the drink name out as normal and I'll finish it like the Rock. Lol.
"Dwayne...we have a venti nonfat vanilla bean fal lalalala lowwww ucino!"

Even with medication, my ADHD brain is shit at allocating RAM.
...which means that when I'm on bar, I have a very tough time using my words. I've often called out an order as "I've got a VENTI...uh...THIS THING? FOR (NAME)?"

This is me 90% of my bar time haha! Last week I was trying to get iced oat shaken espresso and all I could say was "iced..uh..shaken...yeah your drink!"
Sammiche 2 points 1y ago
Customers at my store seem to find it humorous, so I've pretty much given up on it, haha.
I'm really thankful for our regulars. The ones who are used to me understand that when I've got my head down, cups everywhere, and my speech sounds like an infant playing with a speech board, I'm not going to be able to acknowledge their presence beyond a short wave.

sushibroni 2 points 1y ago

rterrebo [OP] 1 points 1y ago

Calling out Frappuccino’s hurts me….it’s impossible for me to say mocha cookie crumble frappucino without sounding stupid
the other day for our regular Melissa I called out “MELISSA MOCHA COOK CRUMB ….YEAH” and she just knew

I dig it! Almost wanted to blast some t-pain by the end of that shout out. Lol
akostner 6 points 1y ago
one time my coworker yelled out “grande mocha no cap” instead of no whip
rterrebo [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Busting caps inside those drinks. Lol
CheyenneJudith 6 points 1y ago
I’ve deffo fucked up on saying the salted caramel cream cold brew before while on DTO. Idk remember what exactly I said but I stopped myself mid sentence and said “salted cream car- whatever that drink is 🥴🥴” gave the customer a good laugh. Starbucks makes these names too long like. Chill buddy
[deleted] 6 points 1y ago
not on accident but if people order weird concoctions i’ll be like “black tea… soy milk… cinnamon…. thing?” or “mango… heavy cream, blended… thing”
starlightluna05 6 points 1y ago
I called a strawberry acai refresher as a matcha green tea latte jsfghdjksgfjkd not my finest moment as a barista lol
wanderer1522 5 points 1y ago
Several times when I go to hand out a drink my brain will have already moved on to the next one I'm working on, so I'll call out that one instead. Also I went to hand out a panini and called it a "Venti turkey pesto panini."
It_is_Katy 6 points 1y ago
oh no more that person is gonna go to the other Starbucks and ask for a venti turkey pesto and say "the other Starbucks gives it to me"
DannyMae 5 points 1y ago
“Megan dragonfruit refresher” …always🤦🏻♀️

spinach fetish wrap
rterrebo [OP] 2 points 1y ago
I dig it! And apparently, they're into some crazy shit too. Haha
It_is_Katy 4 points 1y ago
literally EVERY time I try to say "creme frap" it comes out as "crap" 😭
rterrebo [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Better than "cream pie". Haha. I amuse myself.

fawnaluna 3 points 1y ago
i’ll always accidentally call out mocha and white mocha as the opposite and then usually get berated by customers thinking i messed up instead of fumbling my words
rterrebo [OP] 2 points 1y ago
That's why I'd rebuttal in saying, "do you want to come back and make it yourself!?! If so, then be my guest." Haha
keskobalt 3 points 1y ago
Sometimes when I’m tired I just yell noises that vaguely sound like the drink name
rterrebo [OP] 1 points 1y ago
That would keep things interesting. 😅
dr3mvaalmar 3 points 1y ago
I used to call Caramel Ribbon Crunch, “carbon” ribbon crunch. I can also never say mocha cookie crumble correctly 😅
rterrebo [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Well if it makes you feel any better whenever I deal with a Karen who buys for her snotty kids I put frap roast in that shiznit. Lol
dr3mvaalmar 3 points 1y ago
I’m all for getting back at bad customers, but adding frap roast seems bad to me. I suppose it doesn’t seem as bad as regular espresso instead of decaf but still feels wrong . . .
rterrebo [OP] 2 points 1y ago
I would never intentionally do that. And if I did do that without knowing it or without being told, I'd instantly correct it or remake the drink.
I say a lot of crazy, ridiculous things on here but I would never want to put someone's health or life in jeopardy. I truly do care for others, I just don't want people to see how much I care (one of my biggest weaknesses).

dr3mvaalmar 3 points 1y ago
I respect that in you and I’m glad! I just hear about so many horror stories of baristas “getting back” at customers that end up hurting them. Customers can be frustrating but there’s no reason to put someone at risk
poorpel 2 points 1y ago
caramel ribbon crunch wrap, idk why this and only this frap I keep calling a wrap like a crunch wrap supreme at Taco Bell
ResidentialSaltbox 2 points 1y ago
I was in the middle of doing a food count for the pull and had the number 19 in my head bc that’s how many DSB we had. I was running a blueberry mug from to hand off. Instead of calling out the persons name or what it was, I placed the muffin down and yelled “nineteen!” My coworker never lets me live it down
SilverXiao 2 points 1y ago
I cant remember what the drink was, but there were so many words that I stopped halfway, stuttered a bit, and said "yah."
The lady was super cool about it, but some things just shouldn't.

I called out “very bewwy hibiscus” instead of very berry hibiscus 😔
