They do for splash sticks, cup caddies, straws, and everything else. Of course they would to save eighty cents and still get what they want.

Oh yes.

we’re on a college campus! the cafe doubles as the merch store. and I just switched everything around so they can’t grabby grab! my coworker said the sign looked condescending lol

this is why. this is why i’m going to snap one day and be the compelling story that Keith Morrison will be telling on dateline.

I once had a lady do that and ngl I lectured her a little LOL

she reached over a plexiglass where our espresso machines are, and just took some of the stuff we have for toppings and non sugars. I just said to her “please don’t reach over into the bar and take things that are obviously not for customers to take” and she resorted “well you should have them out so we don’t have to reach over! 😡” and I just responded “you can ask a barista for it, as again, there’s a reason we don’t have them out for customers” and she just got mad and walked away.

don’t forget “oh! and can I get extra drizzle on that?” AFTER they pay at the counter 🙄

I feel like this should be true if it isn't...? They would be contaminating everything they touch... then again a lot of baristas don't even wash their hands 🙄

we’re on a college campus and students request the white mocha drizzle so often!

i heard the white mocha as a drizzle is really gross 😂 i have yet to try it

Seriously lol signs are just decorations to customers. I mean during the pandemic we had stickers on the ground for where people have to stand like how far apart and it also shows how the line forms yet we still had people not standing on the round spots in line and some people also just would walk in the door and stand in a straight line instead of loop around these wicker basket things that we have which is how the line forms and people would come in and they would form the line in a correct way which cuts off the other people that were standing there before then in the incorrect area. So we had to just tell them every single day how the line forms. And by the hand off area by the bar, we had round stickers on the ground for where people should stand like away from the counter and literally people were still always standing right up against the counter trying to stare at us. Nobody reads signs

back when we had a plexi-glass window because of covid, we had a lil cut out square to hand drinks through. customers would reach through it and stretch their arm to grab straws and splash sticks. and I was like “hi. uhm. don’t do that.”

idk how people do that when I'm so anxious that I'd rather dissolve than ask for a stopper or something

naaa fuck that I would have just gone and been like “you shouldn’t have taken that from behind the bar, i’m gonna need to take that back”

that’s so ridiculous of someone to think that’s ok

I work at a cafe serving starbucks drinks that’s on a college campus, and a TON of kids request white drizz!

Not always possible and not always the baristas choice.

we have literally no room anywhere. the counters are filled to the brim. I moved them around so nobody could reach them, but we literally have it up on a sign that drizzle costs extra. we have the sauces next our other toppings. not to mention, the woman who did it today literally had to stretch across the counter to reach them. like, nah. you’d have to be stupid to see all that and think they were for customer use lol.

There are stores without glass surrounding the bars?? Whyyyyy? That's so gross. I would lose my mind if I was on bar and there was no glass to protect me from those animals.

we just have a button for any extra drizzle charge. We aren’t an official sbux, just a cafe serving starbucks beverages. like at barnes and noble!

1. It’s mostly the entitlement to just grab things that bother me.
2. We are a cafe on a college campus run by a food company that is contracted by the college. When students use their dining dollars, we do not make a ton of profit. We have been in the negative almost every week this past month.
When we’re in the negative, guess who gets their hours cut? 🥰🥰🥰
I’m anti-capitalist, but trying to survive capitalism too, and need hours so I can pay rent and eat food.
So yeah, I’m going to ask that people pay the extra 80 fucking cents.
