"Do you even have Coffee?" (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by bestowcurse
We're out of Frappuccino bases and literally everyone today was just asking the same thing.

"Is this sign here for Frappuccinos from today?"

"Oh I wanted a caramel Frappuccino but I GUESS you don't have it!"

"OK so if you can't make a vanilla bean, make me a mocha, mocha cookie crumble, ect"

"Just don't put the base in :/"

"OK but what Do you have then?"

"Do you guys even have coffee?"

Like hello! We literally have everything else. We just don't have the Frappuccino base! It's like people don't know we sell other kinds of things. Like someone went "i want a white mocha Frappuccino do you have anything like that?" As if iced white mocha doesn't exist

Yep. I’ll give them one more “I don’t think that’s going to come out right,” and then nope, it’s on you and I’m not replacing it for free! Goodbye!

It was so funny because this whole time she thought we only served cold drinks.

no literally when we had no frap base for a week it was bittersweet because on one hand, no frappuccino’s!!! on the other……the amount of huffing and puffing and speeding out of the drive thru was enough to give me a few grays

Also reminds me when our steaming wand broke for a night and I would tell people we couldn't make hot lattes and they would order a hot mocha and I would have to explain a mocha is just a latte with chocolate syrup lmao my coworker told me to just tell them we couldn't do hot drinks(but i didn't like that bc we could do pikes obviously, americanos, and teas just not anything steamed, but that is the autism talking lol)

Pissed off one regular who I still hadn't fully remembered yet and she orders an "americano" (half is steamed breve and there's like 12 pumps of syrup) and she started to order and i remembered who she was and was like oooooh we can't steam the breve :') so she left lol

Tbh I don't even know what you mean by base and I get coffee at Starbucks all the time. Maybe people don't understand and are too dumb to articulate that they don't know what you're talking about. Also I worked in the service industry in various capacitors for a loooooong time and no matter where you work, you get the dumbest questions in the universe.

The base is (i honestly don't even know what besides somr sugary syrup concotion) that makes it blend smoothly and have the drinkable consistency, without it the blender sounds like it's dying and you end up with an undrinkable thick icy glob that you can only really eat with a spoon lol.

Ooohhh that makes sense. Like what they throw into daiquiris and stuff in those swirly machines. Yeah I also find it funny how a lot of people go to Starbucks and like one drink and are unwilling to try anything else. Will just leave if you don't have exactly that drink. Like, I enjoy hot coffee, but I could have a cold brew, or a latte and I'd even take an iced latte.

Emulsifier is what the base is
