Rude customers (self.starbucksbaristas)

Tis the season for rude obnoxious people. For the past few weeks I’ve had A LOT of mean customers. Tell me about your experiences. What’s the worst customer you’ve come across?

this lady comes in everyday and orders a ham and Swiss croissant. without fail, she manages to argue about her croissant being too cold even though we warm it up normally the second she orders it. she gets into an argument every single time, and we’re forced to either reheat the croissant for her or giver her a new one. yesterday she came in with her half eaten croissant and complained that there was only one piece of ham and one piece of cheese in her croissant, and that the middle was frozen solid when she ate it.

ive had customers say things like “that’s so fucking disappointing, that’s so ghetto, son of a bitch” and get angry at me cause we don’t have the medicine ball or snow man cookies or this or that. it’s infuriating but it’s not like I can curse them out right then and there and lose my job, lmao

also i want to fight whoever called it the medicine ball first. there’s nothing healthy about it

the name sincerely sounds so unappealing. like… you hear a drink people the “medicine ball” and *willingly* go order it and think that it’s delicious??

I find it especially rude when SICK customers come in all stuffy and nasal drip just to order a medicine ball. Like excuse me you should be at home RESTING and taking cold meds, not ordering a tea that has no actual beneficial properties lol

Worked at a licensed store in HS before the corporate store I work at now. A lady got so angry with me about her frap being wrong that she took off the lid and threw the frap at me. I was soaking in sticky blended shit. She immediately ran away after throwing it on me.

I went in the back and cried for a little bit. It was a lot for a 16 year old girl :/

Okay that’s horrible I’m sorry… People are so ignorant

Haha it's okay. It was 4 years ago, and it definitely helped me build up some thicker skin towards assholes like her.

I think I'm just lucky she didn't get a hot drink

Foreigner that’s throw money at u. I throw it back so I guess I’m rude too. Especially the coins and I look them dead in the eye. They usually stare and walk away

today this lady yelled at me during a crazy rush where i was basically the only person on bar. (register would help out when they could) and she was sooo rude abt it and i was focused on drinks and it was loud af behind bar so i had her repeat her question which pissed her off even more. but anyways she tells me her drink was sitting there for a while and asked me if it was still hot (while SHE was holding the cup). and i asked her if she would like it remade and then she goes “that’s not what i asked. is it still hot?” and i just said “well i don’t know”. and she just goes ballistic loudly yelling “WHATS WRONG WITH U???” etc. like lady… you’re the one holding the cup… YOU TELL ME. plus like i already offered u a new drink?? what else do u want from me miss girl?? very epic start to my morning.

my favorite day was red cup day, when we ran out, customers would come only for the cup and when we didn’t have it, they didn’t order and just left

Never been so happy to throw my starbucks clothing straight in the donations bin.

Yesterday, this little car full of college age girls pulled up to dto and as I greeted them the driver spit out her window..as they pulled up it looked like all 3 of them were sick, covered in a blanket with tissues. I tried to make the interaction as contact free as possible but after I handed them everything I ran to smother my hands in sanitizer
