uhhh booo. I hate that, that happened to you. this has always been my "fear". everyone in my store uses the cf blender for ice matcha lattes. I don't think shaking it is hard && I would literally be so pissed if a customer yelled at me for it. I would've pulled out the recipe card for them 🤣

Ooh just wait til the summer launch and it costs an extra $.50 to blend it 😂

A few months ago, a regular that I didn’t usually make drinks for came in (I never AVOIDED making her drinks, I just never happened to be on cold bar when she came in). She ordered a venti matcha with light ice, and I got to making it.

I worked at two stores: one in my home town, and one near my college a few cities away. At my City Store, we always used the blender. At my home store, we usually used the shakers. I personally think that using the foam blender makes the drink a lot nicer, so I figured I’d do that for her drink.

I make the venti matcha. It’s completely to standard. I hand it to her, and she was absolutely pissed. Just a nasty attitude all around, spoke to me in a very condescending manner. She demanded that I make it again, and I ask what was wrong. She won’t tell me what’s wrong. I ask again, and explain that if she tells me what’s wrong, I can make the next drink correctly. She tells me there’s too much foam. I kindly say “oh, I’m sorry about that, I’ll make you another right away” and she tells me to use the shaker, not the blender.

Of course, I listen. I make it in the shaker, hand it to her… and there’s a little bit more foam in THIS drink because of course that’s what happens with the shaker. I handed it to her, and she gives me this smug look and is all “see? That’s how you’re supposed to make it.”

I just smiled and she took both drinks with her out the door… of course she started drinking the FIRST one I’d made instead of the one that she claimed was made properly. Sneaky (and rude) way of getting a free drink, I guess.

I loved most of my customers at both stores, but some just had a way of getting under my skin by constantly insisting something was wrong when it wasn’t.

U put the same contents in the shaker and requires ur manpower to shake it. Almost the same time.

Oh ok. Not my store. Almost no one orders vsccf. It’s a business area.

That changed. U can shake milk in the shaker. I don’t like using the shaker because it created too much foam for dairy milks. A lot of times customers get two inches less product because of this. The foam blender doesn’t creat that much foam and also creates a creama layer which matte drinks for have if they siffed the matcha powder using that broom looking thing the traditional way.

Good girl? 😬

ice too?

cool, ill try it! thank you so much 😸

No put the powder on top if your making in the blender or it’ll just stick to the bottom tf. Milk, ice, powder on top. The ice will spin the powder around through the drink evenly, powder on the bottom = stuck to the bottom. Don’t do that. Also shaking it is the proper way

Do you work for the company even? There’s no need to be so rude. We blend it on one in the frap jugs and the cup gets ice, then you just pour it on-top. Lol It’s not my fault that not every Starbucks follows the American branch standards
