Would I be a pain in the ass customer if I ordered only cake pops? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by mango_raspberry
Hey y’all I hope this is a good place to ask! Long story short I promised cake pops but my local bakery is closed today 😩 I want to order 15ish cake pops but not if that would be the most annoying order ever…thoughts? I have a lot of sympathy for people working at Starbucks and don’t want to add to the stress. Thanks 😊

That would be one of the LEAST annoying orders ever. Get you some cake pops.

that wouldn’t be annoying at all. i love when people order cake pops! i would advise you call ahead first to make sure they have 15 cake pops to give away, depending on what flavors you want (and so they arent blindsided by a ‘1 of 15’ sticker lol). you could even ask they leave them in the packaging :-)

We literally open a pack and put them in a bag, easiest food item to get.

If they order more I don’t even open them

I wish all my orders were cake pops. TREAT YO SELF..

Let them leave them in the packaging for you, they come three to a pack and they will be better protected for you if they do not unboxed them

We only care about big/complicated orders when the customer is rude about it. Don’t worry about it and get yourself what you want :)

get your cake pops!!! we don’t mind. maybe call to check they have 15 of whichever ones you want but you should be good

Fifteen is easily divisible by three ;)
Few-Tax-1647 17 points 1y ago
Agreed this is the easiest order you could possibly place! But definitely call ahead to ask if they have 15 of whatever flavor you’re wanting. I would also suggest asking them to leave them in the packaging they come in, and then give you 15 empty pastry bags so you can put them in the bags later. That way there’s a lower chance they’ll break while you’re transporting! Hope this helps :)

I’ll take that over a 100 page drink any day!

Please do this.

Honestly would recommend if you have the time to try making them. They're stupid expensive for a small piece of cake. You'd save a lot of money by doing it yourself. But if you don't have the time which is understandable! Time is money ! Like everyone else said they have them packed in plastic by 3. If you don't mind you can specify if you want them in the same bag or not.

What a wonderful feed to read :)
sero5074 6 points 1y ago
Right!!🥺🤍

It wouldn't be annoying. My store dosent usually have 15 ready, so you may want to call ahead so they can do that for you.
drinkliquidclocks 4 points 1y ago
We love to be petty and complain but you have every right to order from a store during business hours! That's what the store exists for. Never feel bad, as long as you aren't rude. Tipping is always appreciated though 🙂 that order is no problem though anyways
KJ2998SJ 3 points 1y ago
I'd recommend calling the store first to let them know/ask if they have that many available. And if they don't they can probably pull some from the freezer to get them ready for you.

Definitely super simple of an order so not annoying at all, but it would be very unfortunate if you ordered them and they didn't have that much.

This comment section DEFINITELY passed the vibe check. I love u all 🙇❤️
paigemclachlan 3 points 1y ago
Not annoying! Like someone else said, just call ahead to make sure they have enough and maybe arrange a set time for payment and pickup to make it easier for everyone involved
ericanicole1234 3 points 1y ago
Cake pops come in packs of 3, if you’re ok with getting them still in the packaging it will 1000% be the easiest thing they’ll prepare today
kaiserthewiser 3 points 1y ago
That's pretty easy for us! We don't have to use the oven or anything, they just get put in bags.
Overall-Diver-6845 2 points 1y ago
Are those good? Never tried them
Overall-Diver-6845 2 points 1y ago
Is this a serious question? Lol
scorpioxqueeeenn 2 points 1y ago
Least annoying because honestly when I see only cake pop orders I feel joyous
rterrebo 2 points 1y ago
No. Lol. I'd much rather grab your cake pops than cook your 10 sandwiches that you just have to have along with your 10+ drinks with 20+ modifications that if I don't get them exactly right you call and scream my boss's head off. 😂 Just a little sarcastic humor for you.

You would be a delight to serve! :)
jazzysoranio 2 points 1y ago
They’re expensive and they may not have that many in stock. But I would bet they’d consider that their least annoying order all day. Fifteen Frappuccinos would be annoying. Cake pops would actually make me happy.
GentleFireWitch 2 points 1y ago
Oh my gosh someone ordered 15 cakepops and only cakepops today. That's so funny.
AccomplishedCut4784 2 points 1y ago
They’re so easy to pack that would be a blessing
Carsatan 1 points 1y ago
We have many customers that come in and only get cake pops, I find it a nice change tbh
thebrownbullofcooley 1 points 1y ago
nah, i wouldn't care. it'd keep things interesting. get your cake pops, my guy.
crushxoxo 1 points 1y ago
I would consider maybe calling ahead because they ship frozen and it would give them a chance to pull as many of each of the kinds you want!!
lewabwee 1 points 1y ago
Order them in person not on mobile and you’re fine. If you try to mobile you might order more than they have in stock and the system will let you. Other than that it’s really easy to do.
pocket-nugget 1 points 1y ago
Definitely wouldn’t be annoying at all especially if you order in multiples of three and ask for them in the package. That way they stay fresh and the barista doesn’t have to pull each one out
vkapadia 1 points 1y ago
Ordering something that the barista has to do almost 0 work for? I think they'd love you.

Even better, if you can give them as much advance notice - several days even, they will for sure have you covered and may even have them ready to go for you!
