I literally tried to talk her out of this. She wanted a honey citrus mint and cappuccino together(i.redd.it)

I know that tasted like straight up bile.
syd_99 [OP]127 points1y ago
I told her it was going to curdle and not taste good. She insisted
imboredwassup46 points1y ago
did she like it?

I don't even know. I clocked out for my meal immediately after I was so done for the day.

Yesterday a customer ordered a cappuccino with "no foam and extra cappuccino."
Comfortable-Plane944142 points1y ago
Why I hate customers and why they are never right
veryoriginal7864 points1y ago
I’m pretty sure it’s because of gas station “cappuccino” machines. Those are all liquid and no foam.
Alexandrasparks3686 points1y ago
True and they’re overly sweet a lot of times
King_Spamula3 points1y ago
That's because it's literally just water, sugar, milk powder, and artificial flavorings
star_pants37 points1y ago
A few days ago I had a customer ask me for a wet cappuccino, then ask if I knew how to make one (yes, for years), made it with beautiful microfoam, then he asked for extra steamed milk. Just order a latte -\_-

Why? Why are people like this?
darkwolf52355 points1y ago
Thank you for making me throwing up before I started my shift
syd_99 [OP]62 points1y ago
I literally will not give her a refund if she comes back
darkwolf5237 points1y ago
Same
BluejayHefty2025 points1y ago
Unless things have changed you don't have to since that is not a "Starbucks" sanctioned drink. They went off the script it's on them
Js_On_My_Yeet38 points1y ago
Some lady yesterday complained and said she thought the honey citrus mint tea was iced 🙄
Edit: Apparently after she complained, she asked for a cup of ice, poured it in her drink, and then insisted it tastes better iced after taking a sip. Lady, you didn't even take a sip of your freshly made medicine ball. Don't even try to compare it 🤡

Responsible_Snow71099 points1y ago
Thats so annoying. She cant complain because of something she assumed. She hadnt even asked. She said she thought it was iced. So therefore she assumed that and then gets annoyed and complains lol😑

A lady came in today and ordered a hot triple decaf espresso in a venti hot cup with cream on the side and some classic. I read her order back to her. She confirmed. She came back to me saying that it’s not what she ordered 😂 i re-asked her. M: “You said a a hot triple decaf espresso in a venti cup with cream on the side right?” C: “Yes. But in California they always fill it to the top.” M: “So maybe they’re making you a decaf americano? Or a decaf latte?” C: “No. this is always how I order it and it’s always to the top.” M: “I’m so sorry. But I don’t think they’re making you what you order. You ordered 3 decaf espresso shots, so that will only fill (demonstrates on cup) to here. 3 shots don’t even fill our 4 oz cup. Id check with them to see what they’re doing.” C: *clearly frustrated* “interesting. Can you just throw decaf coffee in this.” Explained the pour over and she went on her way with her decaf pour over coffee with 3 dead decaf shots 🤷♀️ idk. She was rude, but I understood her frustration. Just goes to show that customers have no clue what espresso is though.

icech1ps17 points1y ago
I have an interview tomorrow for starbucks, this is ...omg... 😭 How common is it that someone orders smth like this
girlwholikesthestars38 points1y ago
This specifically? Not at all that common. But pretty much every day someone will order something that just makes you question how humanity has made it this far. Like the lady today at my store who asked for an iced green tea latte with 20 scoops of matcha, not shaken or stirred, because she "likes the texture of the powder clumps"
yirium9 points1y ago
As a starbies veteran not much surprises me anymore but this shit would make me absolutely livid and nauseous
girlwholikesthestars6 points1y ago
The really sad thing is, she's a regular. This is something one is forced to experience more than once. Over and over again, truly illustrating the Sisyphean nightmare that is our green lives

saratcr1 points1y ago
no this man comes in sometimes and gets an iced matcha but he wants the powder in the bottom of the cup and not shaken for that exact reason. ew.

Had someone order one with extra honey blend, no water, extra lemonade today and I wanted to throw up at the thought of how sweet her drink was.

Had a honey citrus tea yesterday with 4 tea bags (2 of each) sugar on the raw, brown sugar, I think vanilla, and something else. It took forever to make
nerdyoats9 points1y ago
God... She must have bowels of steel.
sh3nan1gans_8 points1y ago
The other day I had someone get the honey citrus tea with 5 shots of espresso. I kid you not.

RareLingonberry7 points1y ago
No where near as bad in any way, but today a customer ordered a cappuccino and when he picked it up he went “Why is there all this foam? Put more milk in it.” and refused to take the next two remakes with lighter foam until I just made a latte and then he took it.
PluralPaul10 points1y ago
Boo, people really don't know the difference. I feel like sbux should have permanent signage that shows diagrams of each espresso drink so people realize how stupid they should feel
Responsible_Snow71097 points1y ago
Reminds me of the one time i was on bar and this guy and his friend came in. The one guy got a grande cappuccino and while i was making it, he casually just asked me if i can put some lemonade in it
g_pvp_35 points1y ago
foul.
Responsible_Snow71092 points1y ago
Agreed

lavendersigil3 points1y ago
I got the classic "iced cappuccino". I asked if he wanted a latte with cold foam and he said "I've been getting this order for years why am I always questioned on it! Make it how you always make it!" Never seen this man before in my life. I ring him up an iced latte and he seemed happy with it out the door.
Crowfiee3 points1y ago
The grossest thing a customer ordered from me was a grande iced coffee with an add shot, raspberry instead of classic, and a splash of pineapple infusion. I was curious what the fuck it tasted like, made one, and it tasted almost exactly like cherry robitussin 🤮
RubySapphireSage2 points1y ago
We need the update .. has anyone tried it 😭.
syd_99 [OP]3 points1y ago
NO WE DONT WANNA THROW UP
RubySapphireSage2 points1y ago
I’m scared , if they did this with a flat white that’s literally poison itself 😂
