Starbucks ~At night~

Jk I have no clue

That’s what you press when you’re ready to close early. Kills the power across the whole block.

Pressed that button after customer does not respond with appropriate answer to question of "hot or cold?"

Pretty sure that is the Boba cold brew they have been testing in California.

Me when I'm on my break

that’s a lyric from that one frank ocean song

That’d be dope if the registers had a dark mode setting 😂

It’s Starbucks’ emergency power shut off button

I hope they don’t make this a drink bc a customer orders “shot in the dark” wanting dark roast with a shot. And he’s mean so I don’t wanna explain to him we have a drink called that and he should just say “dark roast with a shot”

Hiya! I know most comments are “oh no; not a new drink” but it is and we tested it. We’re the Austin Reserve bar and incubation store where we test new drinks, equipment, ideas, etc.

“In The Dark” was one of our testers that sold really well last year. It’a brown sugar syrup, cold brew, coffee poppin’ pearls (which taste amazing), and topped with oat milk.

Edit; and some other cool information: usually these test items take a year or so to develop but the feedback from both our partners (which include stuff like how are we storing them, small wares, ease of access when reaching, how we sequence with them, etc.) and customers was so positive that it was fast tracked for an earlier launch!

I don't want to slow dance :(

what does it say on the screen when you press it? 👀👀

The protocol they have to keep brainwashing underpaid baristas to keep working in such an environment. They just press it as a reset button.

guess you could say the meaning has been left… in the dark.

Creepy, that's what.

I thought we were the only ones who got this! You press it and the lights go off, a disco ball comes down from the ceiling, and club music starts playing. Heard they might patch this in the next POS update.

When a customer has no idea what they're ordering

Careful, that's how you start a rave in the Bux

boba cold brew!!!! its being tested right now

In the dark is one of the experimental drinks, it'll have little boba bubbles but apparently not everyone likes it

It’s a drink called Shot in the Dark. Not too sure if it’s actually just drip coffee and a shot, or if it’s some special new drink but

Starbucks popping boba test drink

A Netflix series about a blind girl who gets into a lot of trouble.

I don’t know, I’m in the dark about it.

It turns off the store.

It’s what the Starbucks lords are plotting for spring launch.

No idea. What screen is this on?

[removed]

It’s a new drink being tested in a handful of stores. There’s a coffee version (and I think a tea version), they are cold drinks made with tiny pearls of Frappuccino roast that are scooped into the bottom of the cup. I worked a few hours at a test store one day.

It's a shot in the dark.

We get some customers who ask for a shot in the dark (which is apparently brewed coffee w espresso but as far as I knew that’s called a red eye..)
Maybe it’s for a doppio or triple + in the dark? My best guess.

A drip coffee with an additional shot.

It's a night crew thing.

You have to turn the lights to the store off when you pull the shot

This is a boba based drink that our Reserve Bar had here in Austin, TX. It was basically just a vanilla sweet cream cold brew with boba.
We’re also a testing city for the United States (along with a few others). There was also a sparkling mango(I think) flavored one that had boba in it as well. That one slapped. I miss them. 🥲

tbh idk, im ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʀᴋ on this one

Boba style iced coffee that’s they’re testing.

Here’s the link if you want to add it to your post.

AS FUNNY AS RHE OFHER COMMENTS ARE it’s from the new “boba” drink theyre trying in some regions

It’s how you turn the lights off at the store

My favorite YG song

OH SHIT ITS THE BOBA

My vote is a shot in the dark. Espresso shot + black coffee.

Feel like it goes by red eye on the east coast more often.

It’s a red eye! It’s basically a hot coffee with a shot in it!

Siegfried

I’m assuming a shot in the dark which means a drip coffee with shots of espresso in it

[removed]

Starbucks left us in the dark with this one

A grande coffee with two espresso shots

Dark mode for POS

i just want a POS button for the PITL... please...

the even weirder button is the tea latte w/ coffee button on the more teas page. it haunts me 😳

My mental health 😍

I saw this button earlier today. I don’t understand what they’re doing with the POS buttons. The new design is so bad and the names of stuff get cut off on the buttons. If “in the dark” means what I think it does, it’s utterly useless because you still have to specify how many shots go in anyway. I desperately wish to speak to the design and software teams and pick their brains because the shit they do with the POS never makes any sense.

That’s the button that blasts YG in lobby. Originally intended for hyping up the crew at 4 am when there’s no light. I found it super helpful to get rid of the half asleep book readers around closing time.

If you wanna see some weird stuff co the the milk screen and hit the button on the bottom right there is some weird stuff in there

Starbucks is going emo now

It's a joji lyric

A Netflix show

So THAT’S where my soul went!

probably shot in the dark?

My life.. lol

[deleted]

Idk lol

Oh my Gosh don't leave us in the dark OP. Please update with what happens when you press it ^.^

How did you get to it?

[deleted]

cold brew with tapioca like pearls (currently being tested at some locations) but if it does well and they bring it to all locations I’m quitting

Dark roast with a shot of espresso

It’s for a shot in the dark which means a shot of espresso in a cup of coffee. It’s an unnecessary button.

It's a pike with a shot lol

i think it’s for a shot in the dark? which is pretty much just a shot of espresso in dark roast

It's been a min since i left the siren but my gut is telling me like Shot in the Dark, like a shot in a drip coffee?? 💀

lol y'all it's shot in the dark i'm pretty sure so drip coffee with shots in it

Shot in the dark? It's a name for a shot of espresso in drip

[deleted]

It's a shot in the dark. Ya know like an espresso shot in dark roast drip

It’s when you add a shot to a pike place I think????

It’s just a button for when someone orders a shot in the dark aka drip coffee with a shot

probably dark roast with a shot — “shot in the dark”

A shot

Same thing as a red eye. 100%
