If Dianne just want hot milk, who am I to judge
Jaded_Fun_7133 114 points 1y ago
WE GOT THAT AND the customer said it tastes like milk….

So insightful.
NervosaNervous 92 points 1y ago
Ah yes. Another person who probably thinks mocha is coffee
SnooShortcuts8570 14 points 1y ago
i’ve had some people who think the hot chocolate is made with like literal hot coco powder packets that some stores occasionally sell on shelves :l
How-Inconvenient 5 points 1y ago
And instead we make it with hot coco powder packets that stores don’t occasionally sell on shelves

Ok but I'm more concerned about that nail and their personal hygiene.
Midnight_Esctasy [OP] 6 points 1y ago
Not really an excuse but I play guitar so I need my nails to be kinda long for finger picking
woodenbiplane 13 points 1y ago
clean your shit fam
kungfufighta 8 points 1y ago
I see. I used to do the same. I bought metal fingerpicks and they sound much better too. You should try em out!
Ordinary-Theory-8289 -14 points 1y ago
Your nail isn’t even that long. Fuck this judgemental dude
kungfufighta 28 points 1y ago
It's not long, it's dirty. If you worked construction with this nail that's fair. A food establishment? Doubt.
Alarming_Base3148 2 points 1y ago
Nail. washing. Brush.

Get er done
Kmsss 3 points 1y ago
Could have been grinds.. or coffee. Or frappe roast. Or mocha.. 🤷🏻‍♀️
couchpillowmuppet 2 points 1y ago
Nails get dirty. Quickly. Especially while working at Starbucks. I always go in with clean nails, and walk out with dirty ones. I clean them when I get home. It’s not that deep.
kungfufighta 2 points 1y ago
Never happened to me so we must be doing things very differently or you're just simply not washing your hands right.
couchpillowmuppet 1 points 1y ago
It literally has nothing to do with how you wash your hands. My nails don’t get clean unless they are scrubbed with a brush. Which can’t get done at every moment.

maybe it gives her points for ordering a hot chocolate…?
CompassesByNorthWest 48 points 1y ago
Bruhhh my store had a guy order that one morning and got mad when we handed him a cup of hot milk.
lemonuponlemon 5 points 1y ago
Same.

Actual customers I’ve had this week:

“yeah, that was supposed to be made hot” it was an ICED shaken espresso

“That’s supposed to be blended” “You didn’t order an iced macchiato?” “yeah, but I wanted it to be blended with whip and the caramel topping” “you mean like a caramel ribbon frappe?” “I don’t know what that is. I wanted the iced caramel macchiato but I want it blended with whip cream and caramel topping. It comes that way. I get it here all the time” “yeah, I think you are thinking of our caramel ribbon crunch Frappuccino” “no, I want a caramel macchiato blended” “ok” “good lord 🙄”
Alarming_Base3148 9 points 1y ago
Or just a regular ol caramel Frappuccino.
This happened today at my store. I had to jump in and help a fellow barista out on the speaker bc the lady had nooo idea what she was doing. finally figured it out!
checkyesromeo 15 points 1y ago
I’ve had someone order this before and when they came to pick it up they explained that they meant no mocha drizzle but must’ve picked the wrong button. Maybe that’s what happened here?
blubber114 4 points 1y ago
Might be more expensive to do a steamed milk add mocha drizzle as well. I encourage partners on this sub to type each into the POS and see the results since the siren is expensive asf
checkyesromeo 1 points 1y ago
ahh good point! I’m gonna check that when I get to work later
dallizzlee 9 points 1y ago
Had a strawberry cream frap with no strawberry purée the other day. It was almond milk so there wasn’t even whip. Just almond milk and ice and base.

She brought it back cuz it tasted wrong.
gabby24681 7 points 1y ago
Had a lady the other day that wanted a white mocha but “no white mocha just the syrup and steamed milk and coffee”… would not begin to try to understand me explaining that’s exactly what’s in a white mocha.
dazedinreverse 4 points 1y ago
Could they have meant no drizzle?
julieejean 4 points 1y ago
Nail looks like toe
fucktvil 3 points 1y ago
no bc the way you sent this in the gc this morning omg
ExtentAccomplished32 3 points 1y ago
“This doesnt taste right”
Accurate-Bumblebee14 2 points 1y ago
"You made this wrong"

rafaellopaul 2 points 1y ago
Wait u don’t have Premium Hot Chocolate powder ?
theepi_pillodu 2 points 1y ago
Do you sell just hot milk? I mean the customer went above and beyond to order plain hot milk.
bottlehalffull 1 points 1y ago
They think mocha means coffee. Had a lady mobile order 20 Venti HC with no mocha and we didn't make it until she got there because I wasnt going to toss a gallon of milk out to remake them.
RubySapphireSage 1 points 1y ago
Steamed milk
LifeguardNeat5203 1 points 1y ago
Milk and mocha drizzle, nice
PerspectiveCapable98 1 points 1y ago
A customer told me they thought mocha meant espresso shots 💀
littlekatie3 1 points 1y ago
Eye roll
superiorpew 1 points 1y ago
Meh if Diane wants to pay for that and boost my stores weekly sales, oh well.
AerieLeading6238 1 points 1y ago
Well you know the fact that it’s a mobile order is worse cuz then u can’t ask
miitopia_emblem 1 points 1y ago
Any time I see a ticket like this, I’ve come to assume they mean “no espresso/coffee”. It’s stupid, but usually what they mean.
Intelligent-Kiwi-574 1 points 1y ago
So a hot skim milk?
ucnthatethsname 0 points 1y ago
It’s because you can’t just order milk on the app so you have to get hot chocolate with no chocolate
overturned23 4 points 1y ago
you can ordered a steamed milk
laurenmt777 0 points 1y ago
But this will still have vanilla.
Alarming_Base3148 1 points 1y ago
Hot chocolate doesn't get vanilla anymore
[deleted] 1 points 1y ago

Boundtoloveyou 1 points 1y ago
Only if you order a vanilla creme. You can just order a plain steamer.
