“And 8 cups of ice”

cookiemonstah87 12 points 1y ago

We have someone who orders 2 trenta mango dragonfruits, no fruit, no water, and 2 cups of ice, 7 days a week

Weird-Abalone-2008 126 points 1y ago

i couldn’t blame the customers who do this tbh. it sucks for us but i understand

zydr8te 103 points 1y ago

Cheaper to buy some white grape juice and strawberry juice

Ibebarrett 35 points 1y ago

That would have more strawberry in it than the SAR though lol….the red is just color

RavenMcG 103 points 1y ago

I hope they are putting vodka in that later. Haha

arokh123 38 points 1y ago

Lmao. That's what I did when I was a partner. Take a trenta home and make a couple drinks out of it.

xoMisaa 35 points 1y ago

i’ve said this before and i’ll say this again… pink drink with vodka👍🏻

Ibebarrett 7 points 1y ago

Clr made the best margaritas

Overall-Diver-6845 4 points 1y ago

What is the pink drink? I always want to get it but never do

barista-baby 6 points 1y ago

strawberry acai with coconut milk, highly recommend

Overall-Diver-6845 3 points 1y ago

I’ve been wanting to try that but I need caffeine lol

xoMisaa 1 points 1y ago

its strawberry acai base w coconut milk! its actually suuuuper good! that and the dragon drink are amazing

darkwolf523 1 points 1y ago

That’s what I do

Js_On_My_Yeet 79 points 1y ago

"Why are you guys always out of Strawberry Acai?!"
*Shows them this picture*

mr_epix18 69 points 1y ago

… people like this is why we always run out of strawberry…

slamy420 41 points 1y ago

Honestly? If they buy it all out thats one less refresher I have to mix later.

Available_Use3321 39 points 1y ago

someone queue night shift by lucy dacus

Improvmomolyfe 34 points 1y ago

And somehow people aren’t charged extra for this yet.

mr_epix18 12 points 1y ago

I’m always tempted to, not gonna lie, but _for some reason_ it isn’t a thing 😒

Zealousideal-Star448 23 points 1y ago

I might have just given them a box of concentration and said have fun

poetixvirgo 19 points 1y ago

I really wish Starbucks would add $1 charge or something to this because this followed by all the cups of ice is my biggest pet peeve

CobaltLemon 7 points 1y ago

A licensed store near me charges a dollar to do 'NO ICE'.

hakutakoo 15 points 1y ago

Pure sweetness! Someone ordered this today too

Ok_Nectarine9538 13 points 1y ago

This is another reason why our prices are rising

yirium 11 points 1y ago

I don’t get why this sub hates people who do this so much when we all know sbux is overpriced as hell and base is literally the easiest thing to make. Personally I like it when people order no ice or water because they’re not being screwed over.

bailter_space 1 points 1y ago

Same. On the DL I be making refreshers with light ice by default unless otherwise specified

Pinephish 11 points 1y ago

How soon can this be illegal /hj

Brief_Coat6526 9 points 1y ago

Put water in them
Anyways

xj376877 9 points 1y ago

Wtf someone orders this identical thing at my store

monicamac52 [OP] 1 points 1y ago

Hahaha where you at

[deleted] 1 points 1y ago

[removed]

RutabagaSoft1973 7 points 1y ago

I know someone who get pink drinks like that and mixes it with Smirnoff vanilla

champshere 6 points 1y ago

I’m petty and leave a few inches of room.

monicamac52 [OP] 1 points 1y ago

😂😂😂

Necessary_Low939 5 points 1y ago

Might as well just give them a box of str açaí and cups of water no ice 😂

NewsLife_247 5 points 1y ago

Isn’t it still standard to shake those?

monicamac52 [OP] 7 points 1y ago

at this point… naaah

Minimum_Salary_6319 6 points 1y ago

if i was asked to shake them i’d walk out

-Zispy 4 points 1y ago

Technically.. yes. but shaking a trenta with no ice means it's going to explode on you.

rainy-gray 2 points 1y ago

Shake them with what? It's literally just base poured into a cup lol

lemonuponlemon 4 points 1y ago

Would I be wrong for putting just to the lower line? Like, if you don’t want the rest, don’t expect me to make up for it?
You can’t order a dessert with gold leaf on it and no cake and expect to get the cake’s weight worth in gold leaf???

cecilbdementd 4 points 1y ago

Has “no water” always been available as a mobile customization or is that new (ik ppl do it in person all the time but for some reason I thought it wasn’t allowed for mobile?)

darkwolf523 3 points 1y ago

Well at least you didn’t have to shake them

monicamac52 [OP] 2 points 1y ago

Right!

Ibebarrett 3 points 1y ago

Just save the plastic and hand them tetras

rainy-gray 1 points 1y ago

What are tetras?

Ibebarrett 2 points 1y ago

The cubes that the juices come in

wikipedia_answer_bot 1 points 1y ago

**Tetra is the common name of many small freshwater characiform fishes. Tetras come from Africa, Central America, and South America, belonging to the biological family Characidae and to its former subfamilies Alestidae (the "African tetras") and Lebiasinidae.**

smagaudet 3 points 1y ago

I would of just handed them the Curtis & sent them on their merry way, ain’t nobody got time for that during peak

rterrebo 3 points 1y ago

That's like 2-3 signsls of strawberry acai refresher man!

bailter_space 2 points 1y ago

Someone's having a party

9ftinfinity 2 points 1y ago

this screams margaritas

changbinsomnia 2 points 1y ago

we have someone that does this. although we havent seen them for awhile

Ruxsti 4 points 1y ago

Same here. I think it's was after we kept telling her that we keep running out because her drinks took half a pitcher and we kept having to remake the base in front of her

monochromaticcat 2 points 1y ago

lmao we have a regular who orders two or three of these but this.. so manyyy

LitbykristenPhoto 2 points 1y ago

We never allowed customers to do this….sooo frustrating :(((

RuntheJules86 1 points 1y ago

Charge them for extra base. Simple.

sirensthigh 1 points 1y ago

jungle juice.

LitbykristenPhoto 1 points 1y ago

Hahahaha

cbcbstargirl 1 points 1y ago

fruit punch

smolspag -20 points 1y ago

people order this and i tell them it wont be filled to the top. i be like ok no ice ? its gonna be filled to the third line okay ? 😌

codifeddevelopment 36 points 1y ago

that aint standard tho…. yeah it’s ridiculous when customers do this but its not like the baristas pay for it. chiiiiillllll

Available_Use3321 -22 points 1y ago

yeah the baristas do,,,, the more money we lose on product the less hours we get

codifeddevelopment 10 points 1y ago

Hmmm but the base is literally grape juice, super cheap. So how do you know that? If you piss off a customer then the likelihood they return to your location is so much lower, costing more and more money and hours of the long run. i think the problem lies more so in the after school kids who ask for a grande water with five pumps of vanilla or raspberry. I charge em for a custom tea latte when they do that.

Available_Use3321 -5 points 1y ago

do you think corporate cares what the base is? they give us the base. they’re literally the provider of the base. they care more about how fast we go through it and how much we need to order and how much we’re “losing” not to mention the fact that it adds work for baristas who might not have the time to make backups because someone ordered 4 trenta strawberry açaís no water no ice no berries

chamorrobro 6 points 1y ago

Corporate doesn’t pay enough to side with them like that.
