I really don’t know why we haven’t added this to the menu yet.(i.redd.it)

“Doppio Espresso”
- Word Vomit
“Single”
That makes me irrationally angry because you know it’s a troll drink.
rennitz240 points1y ago
I would sit the empty cup in the mobile pick up area and wait for this person to come in before making it. Like, have them look me in the eyes and tell me they want this abomination.
Saint-enance123 points1y ago
If they even come to pick it up at all
badatlife1551 points1y ago
It’s also 2/3 decaf 🙃
TheDoubleDan22 points1y ago
And ristretto
ek420g268 points1y ago
okay i don’t understand why the dto or mobile system doesn’t print things together and in order. ALL the syrups, then all then milks, then all the drizzles, all the toppings, etc. it’s so sporadic and random that half the time it takes to get the drink done is just spent reading the sticker.
IfuDidntCome2Party140 points1y ago
That's the problem with app designers who don't understand what Baristas go through and the process of making a modified drink. Blame those sitting in the Starbucks Corp Offices.
Hope Baristas can create a petition to Starbucks Corp to update their app, which will help with DTO times, since all Baristas aren't trying to re-organize the label as they make the drink.🤯
Mentioning improved DT times, should get the Starbucks Corp Peeps attention in this matter.
ladyelenawf23 points1y ago
I wonder whatever happened to the developer that made the post requesting input from baristas about the design of the app?
imeanitpeanut17 points1y ago
I think it’s more that they don’t care what we go through
Praxlyn8 points1y ago
Is there a link to the petition?
tenthwalker4 points1y ago
So I'm a barista who works in the Tryer lab at corporate a few days a week, and a lot of times the projects that we work on take up to several years to actually get into the store testing phase, and a lot of things come through for us to test multiple times along the design pipeline. We have brought this specific issue up to the corporate folks before, and I can't really talk about it any further, but know that a lot of the operational problems discussed in here that aren't scheduling-related are on their radar, but in what form and what is being done about anything varies wildly. Petitions won't really do much but a lot of corp folks do read this sub and we reference it to them so putting these kinds of posts out there is worth it, especially because us Tryer baristas giving feedback on things can only discuss our own experiences, and diverse perspectives beyond a handful of Seattle-area baristas of mixed roles are good to have on hand.
RUddertown2 points1y ago
This is why it isn’t fun to work at Starbucks anymore, FYI. None of these modifications even end up impacting the prep time at all, and it’s why customers leave frustrated too- not just baristas. SMs have been asking for this to be scrapped and changed for years now on workplace. It wouldn’t be that hard to do if Starbucks actually gave one real shit about frontline partners.
Paprmoon73 points1y ago
That’s a lame excuse though, they aren’t idiots, they just don’t care enough to make it efficient.
rennitz133 points1y ago
"What do you want?"
"Yes."
uselesslesbianism103 points1y ago
2/3 decaf but only one shot 😂

They want light room 😂
Chrisxp0966 points1y ago
There's no way this is real that's literally every option on the app
HarpieLady1355 points1y ago
“Upside down”
After you put all that crap in a cup, throw a shot on top.😂😂
Binx_da_gay_cat28 points1y ago
Run outside and grab rocks, fill with water, call it out lol
jazzysoranio51 points1y ago
So, I take a different approach. When I see this I just dump a bunch of whatever in a cup and see if they complain. They never notice or complain.
kxnkycxrly8 points1y ago
this !
daisiesanddaffodils46 points1y ago
We never even bothered making these at my store, no one ever tried to come pick it up
anitasdoodles37 points1y ago
Just give them black coffee with 'go fuck yourself' written on the lid.
kxnkycxrly3 points1y ago
!!!!
NervosaNervous32 points1y ago
I would have set the empty cup on the hand off plane and just written “No” on the cup.
mama_bibi2 points1y ago
Best comment. Actually made me chuckle. Thank you
Necessary_Low93930 points1y ago
Did they pick it up? Starbucks app need to change to only 5 customizations and even then that’s too much. And corporate also need to stop refunding these orders. This is just abuse.
Edit: I personally wouldn’t have made that order and see if that person comes.
Kaylushhh29 points1y ago
I wouldn’t make it, straight up. This one customer I had ordered an iced doppio in a venti cup with like 3 different cold foams, all 4 different non dairy milks and 6 different syrups with all this powder. I refused to make it and when she came in a explained that I cannot make this drink. I had her pick one foam and one milk. It was as if she didn’t even understand what she was clicking and picked a whole bunch of shit on the app. She saw her sticker and went blank. I wasn’t rude or anything but I did explain that if she wasn’t sure what she wanted to come in and ask instead of mobile ordering random things.
celestineleh22 points1y ago
i know people who place prank orders dont usually come in but if this human-equivilent-of-oven-door-oil-sludge came in, id ask if they meant to order all of that and read off the entire sticker while maintaining eye contact. might as well hand them an empty cup for extra fun. why do people think its funny to place orders like this. wow good one haha you really pulled one over on us, the baristas who are about to get off a 10hr shift and get paid shit, what a hilarious gag.
greattemerity1 points1y ago
Reminds me of the time a regular who gets a ridiculous order but only comes in once every couple months came in and my shift read the entire sticker instead of his name and the man just had to come up and get his drink. I laughed so hard
cringeqween1322 points1y ago
Has corporate seriously not tested how many pumps of syrup fit in each cup size? I mean we just celebrated the 50th anniversary. They've had enough time
ZacW946 points1y ago
That sounds like something fun to do when the store is slow. I mean you'd want to buy a bottle yourself.
It_is_Katy3 points1y ago
Fun fact: a venti cup fits roughly 32 shots. One of my SSVs said she had someone come in once and ask how many they could get in one cup for their free drink.
RubBusy18820 points1y ago
2/3rds decaf…? On a dopio? W a single shot!?!? 👀
Pete-_-Zahut16 points1y ago
I put this in the Starbucks app so you don't have to. The price for this drink is... $10.39 (In Washington)
SakasuCircus12 points1y ago
That's honestly much cheaper than i expected(also in washington)
nutria_twiga6 points1y ago
The real hero. I started mentally keeping track and gave up midway.
rosegoldhiips16 points1y ago
Light room??? In a venti cup??? WHERE???
Brgnbo16 points1y ago
I kinda wanna make it to see what it would look like
lea-oppalove14 points1y ago
The 'single' was the cherry on top
jowens879812 points1y ago
Literally how would you even put this upside down?
Mean-Grass893511 points1y ago
It’s the way you see ristretto at the top and single at the bottom 💀💀💀
DismalActive848310 points1y ago
It’s the single at the end for me , literally flipping the structure of this drink on its head (barista here)
Cafe_Ninja9 points1y ago
I wouldn't even bother opening the sugar packets. If this for actual consumption, they wouldn't know the difference.
Hokage43548 points1y ago
I forgot to post this on reddit 😂
It was my store, and it was a prank drink for our morning bar green bean. We all had a good laugh! No harm done.
Beautiful_Scratch_128 points1y ago

A doppio espresso, single, ristretto, 2/3 decaf? Lmao WHAT
Taeharu3 points1y ago
At this point might as well change out the sticker roll after this one 😆
deathbeforedecaf19843 points1y ago
This person can go straight down asshole lane and take a right turn on go eff yourself drive.
BaristaBabe133 points1y ago
Some people actually do this and keep it in their refrigerator and add it to their morning coffee throughout the week. However, all these flavors together…. Just no.
JackyHighlightVideos3 points1y ago
I feel like they immediately showed up in drive thru too.
turningtolbert3 points1y ago
No way is this real. It looks like the person ordered one of everything in the app
sh3nan1gans_3 points1y ago

Thirtyandflirty0782 points1y ago
This cannot be real. I’m so sorry you have to deal with this.
Alittle-lost2 points1y ago
And they prolly used points so the whole thing was free😐😐
Gameb0i62 points1y ago
How is this possible? The app doesn’t let you add this many modifiers anymore.

Well. It looks like it still does

D735482 points1y ago
But did they pick it up though 🤔?
cyan_reynolds2 points1y ago
I would actually refuse to make this until they showed up to pick it up, and then I still might refuse it.
Lolindir932 points1y ago
Would you like a Pastry to go with that today?
