I hate making Frappuccinos (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by AffectionateSpray631
My soul dies a little bit every time an adult orders one…. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

I find drinks with foam and “medicine balls” more irritating to make , specially when we are out of honey blend
fannytraggot 46 points 1y ago
I'm so glad we're out of jade citrus mint rn
PiscesQueen24 50 points 1y ago
Hunny we have been out of peach tranquility and honey blend for weeks and our shifts still insist on us making them with peach juice and honey packs
fannytraggot 26 points 1y ago
at that point, does it even taste like a normal medicine ball? we've been out of honey blend and honey packets so we resorted to agave until we ran out of JCM.
QuietCity333 36 points 1y ago
we’re out of BOTH the teas, honey blend AND honey packets, and they still make us make them. we don’t even have mint majesty either.

we’re making them with agave, emperors cloud, and peach juice because heaven forbid a customer can’t have their medicine ball.

Y'all got peach juice? 😳
PiscesQueen24 7 points 1y ago
We got like a good 2 cases of peach juice lol no one rarely orders it tbh
ItzBoogieMan 15 points 1y ago
Bro fuuuuuck those honey packets man
kelinatutt 1 points 1y ago
We’re always out of honey blend lmaooo we haven’t had it in months

I hate making iced matcha lattes more tbh
peanutbutterbarbie 34 points 1y ago
a girl asked for hers to be lightly shaken because she “liked the chunks” and as grossed out as i was i was still grateful for her ❤️
mama_bibi 5 points 1y ago
We have a girl that orders it unshaken. Like milk then ice and then the match on top. I love her
ayakowantsmemes 7 points 1y ago
There's a regular who orders this in a venti but no ice and 12 scoops of matcha 😭😭 I feel as if I'm committing a sin. He says it's for his wife and she just likes to eat the powder

frapps are my favorite drinks to make🧍🏻
banannon999 4 points 1y ago
Same here, unless it's a rush
changbinsomnia 3 points 1y ago
i've never really experienced having to make a bunch of frapps during a huge rush/peak yet. although my location is getting a lot of 5 frapps in one order typa deal so it might happen soon lol

At my old store, it’s always these white trashy ass Karen’s who get a venti carmel crunch with 10 pumps of frap roast, 2 affogato shots, and extra crunch. We had a regular who would order that exactly and every single time, send it back. So we quickly learned to make 2 of the same drink🥴

They almost always have a deep southern accent to their dialect… ijs there has to be a correlation between class and coffee

Girl same I work in front of a middle school in a “rich” town and they make me hate children😂 why r they walking around wit Amex cards at 9
drinkliquidclocks 27 points 1y ago
I don't mind them, I can do it with my eyes closed at the speed of light lol. I hated it at first though.

For me it's shaker drinks 😡 they're so annoying. At least I can make a bunch of em at once
reclusivegiraffe 1 points 1y ago
same, fraps are less hands-on, and easier to batch.
Pink_CupCake11 20 points 1y ago
What I hate most, is when it’s a customized Frapp!! Making Frapps the normal way is annoying already!!!

Day 1 of begging mods for a joke flair

i hate making anything with cold foam fml
AffectionateSpray631 [OP] 4 points 1y ago
Cold foam is a waste of time
dullnfunny 15 points 1y ago
My worst was 5 minutes before closing, and a group of teenagers walk in asking for venti frapps 😭
lolthefuckisthat 2 points 1y ago
late as fuck to this discussion but i always close alone and if their drink will have me helping them past close i wont make it. idc who the fuck it is but if you come in within 5 minutes of close and order more than 3 simple drinks you aint getting shit.
xoMisaa 4 points 1y ago
cold foam and fraps are the most annoying things to make 🥲
AffectionateSpray631 [OP] 1 points 1y ago

I don't mind making Frappuccinos!

What I really hate is when people come in with their tiktoc frapp names and act bothered that we don't know what an apple pie Frappuccino is...

Like ma'am we don't know what that is, and now that you are explaining how to make it, we don't have gram crackers... who do you think we are??
lpablito 3 points 1y ago
I love it. I call myself the Frap king tbh.
Rb2011xx 3 points 1y ago
Toffee latte with blonde roast taste like pop corn
Necessary_Low939 2 points 1y ago
I rather make fraps than shake drinks honestly. Shaking drinks is like a workout
lunarmadz 2 points 1y ago
I hate cold foam and shaken drinks
AffectionateSpray631 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
I hate making cold foam … and sweet cream ..
It_is_Katy 2 points 1y ago
I like making the fraps because I bought them for YEARS before I worked at Starbucks (chai frap specifically, and I was surprised to learn how infrequently it's ordered), so it's kind of a novelty for me that I make then for other people now. My trainer actually remembered me as a regular and made sure it was the first thing I learned how to make lmao. I think they're kinda fun too.

But they're more time consuming than other drinks especially once you add in customizations, so I kinda get why others hate making them, especially when we're busy.

yeap!
kelinatutt 1 points 1y ago
I’m weird and enjoy making them

Yuuup. I always joke when an adult orders a Frappuccino in DT, that’s strange because they looked grown. Don’t let them order a brownie or a cookie because then I’ll accuse their mother of being out of town and they’re going HAM.
iCeleste 13 points 1y ago
Lmao let people order what they want, there's a difference between complaining about the steps it takes to make a drink and judging people for ordering a fuckin frapp lmao it doesn't make people childish to want a sweet thing
GinaMohundro 3 points 1y ago
I can own it’s not my finest moment and move on from feeling that way. It struck me how the post specifically called out adults & that resonated with me. Obviously it’s not even the Frappuccino that bothers me, it’s how I have perceived this company has shifted from caring basically. Now making Frappuccinos is my scapegoat because I’m too scared to do anything else right now professionally.
