This abomination came through my little kiosk today. Ignore my crappy abbreviations/messy counter (reddit.com)

I’m so happy my store doesn’t do cup marking bc I wouldn’t even know how to decipher without the messy abbreviations

I don’t know how you manage without stickers in the current Starbucks environment
ruin_24 [OP] 51 points 1y ago
I wish we had stickers. We've been begging Safeway for a new POS system
Select_Swordfish_603 15 points 1y ago
Oh god yeah Safeway kiosk solidarity. My handwriting is chicken scratch and my poor partners can't read the 40 modifications I had to write on there 😭 our machine is also sooo slow and old

You deserve it!

It's called a P. O. S. For a reason, amirite?
EdwardShittyhands 58 points 1y ago
I might be misreading, but does that say 5 banana? As in they want 5 bananas blended in?
ruin_24 [OP] 38 points 1y ago
That is correct 🙃

i cannot deal with this job sometimes lmao

I don’t even use that many bananas in a week and I have a smoothie before work every day.
2/3rds of a frozen banana. Just the right amount. Not 5. That’s insane. Can’t decide if the banana would make it hard to poop or if the sugar would make you crap your brains out. ….maybe that’s what the bananas are for? No…

Cost?
Stinkinfection 23 points 1y ago
I think OP said about 15 dollars
grayz19 32 points 1y ago
Between the 5 bananas, 7 java chips, extra toppings and extra caramel drizzel, whats the one pump of honey blend gonna do???
ruin_24 [OP] 50 points 1y ago
That one pump of HB is the glue holding this whole drink together
Necessary_Low939 21 points 1y ago
5 bananas?! Why?
ruin_24 [OP] 28 points 1y ago
Maybe they just wanted a boost in potassium?
But I don't know anyone that would eat 5 bananas in a row, so I don't know why she wanted them in the drink

Eating two bananas alrdy makes me wanna throw up. This bitch needs to check herself.
ruin_24 [OP] 25 points 1y ago
The kicker is, she had originally ordered a VBF, and then backed out of it for this 🙃
Oh, and she didn't tip. Lol. But I guess I should expect her to when the drink is already $15.

🙄 I hope she spills her drink

dear god. thankfully in my area the weekly update just announced we are discounting bananas. wonderful move. they just made so much food waste and wasted so much time
ruin_24 [OP] 10 points 1y ago
Working in a safebux means bananas will continue to haunt us :(
Minimum_Salary_6319 2 points 1y ago
oh no. my deepest condolences.
Consistent_Ask_3963 1 points 1y ago
So glad when I read no more bananas. 😀
drinkliquidclocks 14 points 1y ago
HB?? 5 BANANAS?! pls tell me y’all have banana syrup or something
ruin_24 [OP] 10 points 1y ago
Hahaha...haha..ha... Nope. 🙃
Yeah, one single pump of HB, as if it'll make a huge difference to the drink

Man ur safeway had bananas for drinks?? Ours had banana button but no bananas xD
ruin_24 [OP] 10 points 1y ago
Yeah but we don't keep them back in the kiosk. Two baristas need to be present so one can jog over to Produce to get the bananas
SakasuCircus 3 points 1y ago
Oh dang! We even had a stand of bananas literally right outside the kiosk... but we were never told we could use them for starbucks. I wonder if we were supposed to lol.
borrowedurmumsvcard 11 points 1y ago
can someone tell customers that this isn’t subway or chipotle?? we don’t just have a build your own bar of ingredients. ugh
CapableArtist123 6 points 1y ago
Thank god corporate stores don’t require us to write anymore good lord
EliMinivan 5 points 1y ago
Lmao I refuse bananas in my Safeway kiosk. Tell them it's covid related
bunny_rose422 5 points 1y ago
God I remember when cups used to look like this.
ConfidentDiamond1121 3 points 1y ago
This is a dark curse. Petrificus Totalus.
brokenleftjoycon 3 points 1y ago
Did they have to pay for each banana?
ruin_24 [OP] 12 points 1y ago
Oh yes. If they don't buy them before they come to the kiosk, we charge $1.25 per banana. Buying them through a normal register, a banana would probably be $0.25.
Internal-Ad-8820 2 points 1y ago
I'm sorry but... FIVE bananas??? Please tell me you only gave them as much as the cup would fit and none of the extra. It's physically impossible to get 5 bananas in there in general let alone with all the rest of those ingredients @_@
ruin_24 [OP] 3 points 1y ago
There was a ton leftover, which my Manager and I kept for ourselves.
This may come as a HUGE shock, but it tasted like banana.. only banana.

Internal-Ad-8820 3 points 1y ago
HELL YES LOL, special treat for you 😂 Somehow I actually AM surprised it only tasted like banana with all the extra toppings and caramel 🥴
ruin_24 [OP] 3 points 1y ago
It was so hard to drink, got a nice jaw workout though I guess LOL. Yeah, unfortunately those 5 bananas just overtake everything else 😂
Internal-Ad-8820 1 points 1y ago
LMAO you can use those jaw muscles to better tell people off 😂 God that must've been... interesting lol, I don't know if I could handle that much banana 💀

FIVE BANANA
ruin_24 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Five whole nana
hipbs23 2 points 1y ago
As a former 213 partner I am shocked people still know how to write cups. It took a min but I figured it out 🤣 mind you I have not been with the company in like 4 years.
ruin_24 [OP] 5 points 1y ago
I really wish we had stickers 😭

How can we ignore the hand writing if the post is about readying the words?
Disastrous-Ad-9366 -1 points 1y ago
Since when did we start allowing bananas in our drinks??
