Every single one of my shifts would def be asking her to pull forwards and come grab them the same way we’d do a traveler. Holding up the line for 26 drinks is ridiculous.
uninstalldustin [OP] 78 points 1y ago
As a shift I wanted to but the current shift on duty didn’t want to even tho our line was around the store.
IthacanPenny 72 points 1y ago
Oh I be sooo pissed if I was the car behind her. Like trapped in the dt line by the curb, no escape. That’s a bullshit policy for your shift to have.
mrsastro 7 points 1y ago
Whyyyyyyy. Omg pull this one 😬
spooks_away 2 points 1y ago
Maybe, don't shake?
RavenMcG 107 points 1y ago
What in the privileged, karen haired bullcrap is this? I am so sorry this happened to you.
uninstalldustin [OP] 89 points 1y ago
Buddy showed up in a taxi too lol. Apparently the customer was headed to a funeral?
nerdyoats 128 points 1y ago
Brb i gotta get my caramel crunch frap before saying my final goodbyes to grandpa. 🙃

I mean, I absolutely asked my cousin to bring me coffee to my father's wake. It was 4 hours long, draining and I needed a boost in the absolute worst way. 6 years later I brought her vodka to her father's funeral. She needed to numb. I don't judge anyone ever for what they need during that time. It is an awful time and if a refresher helps, here you go.
nerdyoats 1 points 1y ago
That's fair but 28 of them *in a drive thru????* Hell no. Like i get it's a tough time but for the love of God.... If you're gonna do that many come into the cafe ffs
im_a_pimp 34 points 1y ago
imagine paying a taxi driver to sit waiting for 26 fucking drinks in a drive through
Unicorn_Warrior1248 69 points 1y ago
What’s funny to me is that labor is based on the one person who ordered this 😢
sheep_heavenly 31 points 1y ago
"Wdym you were busy, there was only 40 COSD projected and it looks like y'all actually only got 35..."
LilKaySigs 15 points 1y ago
The concept of allocating labor was always ridiculous to me
Unicorn_Warrior1248 4 points 1y ago
I was under the impression that your stores labor was yours. Found out all of our extra labor we’ve earned went to other stores. I was like. Cool. Doesn’t matter what we do, nothing will work out for us.
Remarkable_Hold_2342 62 points 1y ago
Are y’all not allowed to tell them no? My store usually tells them they can’t make orders that big unless they call ahead and let us know first
eatass420vorelord 81 points 1y ago
...does your store need a transfer? That sounds so ideal
Remarkable_Hold_2342 17 points 1y ago
I WISH we needed transfers, we have so many people now my hours went down from 35-40 to only 20-25 cause there’s too many people needing scheduled after the holidays😭
drunk_coffee_addict 36 points 1y ago
People who do this are such selfish fuckheads. Just come inside!!! There are other people in the DT line asshat 🙄🙄🙄
mewwissa 27 points 1y ago
I wouldn’t be shaking any of those refreshers….and at least lemonade you just pour but like someone would have to prep like eight pitchers before jfcccc
uninstalldustin [OP] 25 points 1y ago
The only one we actually shook was the strawberry coconut😂
Eastern_Effective_49 17 points 1y ago
Wait what’s the strawberry coconut? Is that the pink drink?
swoopysnoopy 14 points 1y ago
It's the Canadian name for the Pink Drink :)
looker009 13 points 1y ago
I would tell her to park and to come in. No way I am doing that through DT
Koalastars009 12 points 1y ago
I still don’t get why people decide to buy Starbucks for a large group of people. It’s still way easier and cheaper to buy two buckets of ice cream and few jugs of lemonade. We just had a woman from a middle school buy 65 Frappuccino’s in our little target hole in the wall. And I had to make all those by myself.
BlueWaters99 2 points 1y ago
Yeah! And by the time they got to the children… the whip cream has melted and the ingredients have started to separate. Yuk!
Greennooblet 12 points 1y ago
Why do people buy this many drinks. Seriously what happened to just buying a couple of the boxes coffee.

How do they even handle that many drinks through the drive through surely their front seat runs out room with this many drinks.
Old_Obligation_7961 10 points 1y ago
my store did 11k in sales yesterday when I worked 7hr shift 🥲
BlueWaters99 9 points 1y ago
There is no way that those 2 lattes and 1 caramel macchiato are going to arrive hot! Why bother! 😆
uwumoment 8 points 1y ago
i hope they spilled
madisonla 7 points 1y ago
Why would they do that 😭😭😭😭
Kooky-Guide-7561 5 points 1y ago
is the starb coconut a pink drink or am i missing something?
mysteriousjuror 5 points 1y ago
The Pink Drink is a nickname for the Strawberry Coconut Drink. It’s the same thing.
Loh-Doh 4 points 1y ago
Hit them with a "Just so you know, we are out of cup carriers. Would you still like to continue with this order?" And watch them book it out of there.
Loooogggssss 3 points 1y ago
guys 50% of the order is lemonade, ya just gotta pour shit into a cup with ice
lea-oppalove 3 points 1y ago
why are there so many trentas!?!
TiredandNotHereForIt 3 points 1y ago
Wait, you can get just lemonade???
JAYtheVILLIAN 3 points 1y ago
I salute you for staying composed o7
swallowingpixies 3 points 1y ago
What’s a strawb coconut? A pink drink?
Gobbikins 1 points 1y ago
Yes! It's the name of the pink drink in Canada at least.
Bubblebutt217 3 points 1y ago
*27 drink order

Either way…WHY!!? They better not be in the drive thru smh
mekayla96 2 points 1y ago
The Carmel crunch frap is literally my arch nemesis. Everyone always orders the Carmel crunch frap. It’s always Carmel crunch frap this Carmel crunch frap that. Extra Carmel extra crunch. I CANT TAKE IT AJYMORE TAKE THAT BITCH OFF THE MENU SHE HAS OUT STAYED HER WELCOME!!!!!
sero5074 2 points 1y ago
“Thank you for your order and because it is such an insanely large drive thru order we require you to pull around out of the line and come inside the store to receive all twenty-six (26) drinks. Waiting in line will be the same amount of time you wait inside to receive your drinks, and will effectively eliminate everyone in line contemplating homicide. Thank you!”
greenChainsaws 2 points 1y ago
fun fact! if your order is over $50, youre gonna be there for a while. and so is everyone behind you

healthypenguins 1 points 1y ago
This is the point where standards go out the window with the shaken beverages. I would get the lemonades out of the way, and then set up the refreshers starting with the fruit pieces at the bottom (because the color comes out better that way) and use the bottom and top lines of the cup to measure the liquid ingredients.
3LiterVag 1 points 1y ago
At that point, just buy a couple jugs of Minute Maid 🤦‍♀️
SunBusiness8291 1 points 1y ago
No customizations!
blah________________ 1 points 1y ago
At least the lemonades are easy.
defendtrevornoah 1 points 1y ago
Hahaha I immediately started micromanaging how I was going to go about this order as well. Hit the 10 lemonades first, then clear refreshers 2 at a time with “dual shaker” technique, then hang out in Frappuccino hell for a bit and run the hot drinks as a treat.
Hazel_is_Trans 1 points 1y ago
I would of took my time making all of those drinks don't care if I took 1 hour that person can wait
Hazel_is_Trans 1 points 1y ago
How much was it
[deleted] 1 points 1y ago
Omg they should have done a mobile order lol
monochromaticcat 1 points 1y ago
God I’m so sorry. One time a family spent $79 in the drive through and it messed up our times for the following hour because of course we couldn’t park them for some reason???
imathrowayslc 1 points 1y ago
I wonder if we could do a refresher cambria.......

Entire_Ad4556 1 points 1y ago
Woah.
How many shakers do u guys have
CakeResponsible 1 points 1y ago
Where do they put it all? Like the footwell and the seat could hold maybe 4x4 drink holders safely each, if they stack them they’re asking for trouble lol
