When people like this come in I wonder how they have the money and how shitty they want their catered food to be.
Responsible_Snow7109 78 points 1y ago
Thats the thing lol people act as if starbucks is a catering company
uwumoment 78 points 1y ago
yayyy stale microwaveable food this is the best investment …
thebestdaysofmyflerm 53 points 1y ago
Reminds me of Trump’s McDonald’s banquet. That shit is going to be cold before anyone eats it.
owiesss 25 points 1y ago
Finally someone has voiced out loud what I’ve always been thinking about that whole ordeal. Stale McDonald’s mmm yum.

When people wonder why we don’t have anymore sandwiches by 9am 😅
cookiemonstah87 24 points 1y ago
I always love it when people come through the drive-thru at like 9:30 and don't understand that we're out of spinach feta wraps. My store almost always runs out of wraps by 9, but we very frequently get a customer who starts yelling something like "HOW CAN YOU BE OUT OF SOMETHING? IT'S STILL MORNING!!!" Well, when we open at 5 am, that's 4.5 hours of morning rush to run out of things. Happens a lot!

Somehow it's only the feta wraps people get angry about like that, too.
darkserenity15 3 points 1y ago
I’m gonna make it my life’s mission to be the one gets wrap person who doesn’t get angry abt it :)
1. Life’s too short
2. I used to work at Starbucks and I’d wanna deck those bitches sometimes

This order violates the Third Place for partners and all other customers. This should not be allowed. There should be a common sense limit on the size of mobile orders for the good of all
Okdevcon 40 points 1y ago
Well, this one looks like it’s a cafe order, but I agree! We should have SOME sort of modification limit. If it takes you more than two minutes to tell me what you’re ordering in a single drink, you’re really messing up any semblance of a flow. Everybody else in the DT asks why it takes so long for a grande pike or refresher?
FfierceLaw 17 points 1y ago
You’re right, it is a café order I didn’t spend enough time looking, but I think there should be also an item limit on drive-through and mobile orders. I feel that we also should have a Items per customer limit in all order channels so as not to deprive customers with reasonable size orders
Becquerell 11 points 1y ago
There is - it’s 15 items. That said, people will still place multiple orders one after the other in order to get what they want. I can only imagine they would continue to do so even if the limit was only 5.
Okdevcon 7 points 1y ago
Couldn’t agree more! I’m not holding my breath for it, and maybe just streamlining our offerings could help too. I’m also not holding my breath for that either, seeing that after several garbage drinks (kiwi) they found a crazy money-maker like VSCCF. I think they’re just going to keep getting wilder with recipes to see what actually works. Keeping my fingers crossed that something gives.
cookiemonstah87 6 points 1y ago
If they call ahead, this order would be OK. But placing an order of this size without warning is insane! If we know ahead of time, depending on what they ordered, we can plan ahead and pull more from the back to accommodate without running out of EVERYTHING before peak even gets started!
Ecstatic_Math_3839 69 points 1y ago
Time to suspend mobile orders to get caught up
herpaslurp 26 points 1y ago

Yosellllin [OP] 19 points 1y ago

Oliver needs to be banned from Starbucks
lilkiosk 39 points 1y ago
Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by Oliver…
orangeygirly 32 points 1y ago
Starbucks NEEDS to set a very clear maximum on orders between drive thru/mobiles/café. This is so unfair to baristas, and the customers too! Imagine just wanting a quick coffee and sandwich on your way to work but you have to wait an extra 10-15 min cuz Oliver thought this was a catering company. Except, the customers get mad at US as if it’s our fault. No, it’s Oliver’s fault for being an a**hole. And it’s Starbucks corporate fault for allowing customers to place ridiculous orders like these. Sorry you had to deal with this 🤦🏼‍♀️
Yosellllin [OP] 39 points 1y ago
Our Store Manager is awesome and he handled it all on his own. He used one oven and we made Oliver aware he would have to wait over 30 mins for his order. I totally agree with you though, this is ridiculous.
Torirock10 22 points 1y ago
holy shit oliver
radtaddyo 18 points 1y ago
All for it to be cold when the order’s done

Someone should tell Oliver bulking season is over.
dazedinreverse 8 points 1y ago
WTF Oliver!
omogal123 7 points 1y ago
Those sandwiches will take forever to warm 🙁
Okdevcon 15 points 1y ago
Can you imagine how the first one that got warmed up must taste by the time they’re finished, bagged, and back to whatever hole Oliver crawled out of?
CardiographicDuck 7 points 1y ago
These weekends have been killing us lately
luvduvbunny 6 points 1y ago
Why does Oliver think that Starbucks is a catering place? Why do customers who order a million items think we would be done in like 5 minutes? They know we don’t make our own food in store right?
Financial-Row9611 3 points 1y ago
the thought of walking into any restaurant, even one that caters, and ordering *50 items* at the POS

literally makes me embarrassed.
joongiesem 6 points 1y ago
i feel like the thing that bothers me the most is that there was 3 drinks? unless this person ordered 3 travelers along with it.
Yosellllin [OP] 8 points 1y ago
Yes they where Travelers
komjaee 6 points 1y ago

cpv_91 3 points 1y ago
Yikes.. I'm sorry 🙁

Hope the rest of your day went better.
wild_n_fluorescent 2 points 1y ago
Okay I don’t think anyone asked and I’m curious, what’s that screen next to your oven for? It looks like the register Lock Screen? HELP am I just dumb?
Yosellllin [OP] 3 points 1y ago
Yeah it’s just a like small device that we can carry around and punch orders in for Drive. Usually during peak someone will go take orders outside. They use the headset to give us a heads up on warming and frappes. It allows us to have everything ready by the time they are at the window.
JAYtheVILLIAN 2 points 1y ago
Ok so it wasn’t only my store too!?!?! We got slammed all morning shift!
jjxshuaa 2 points 1y ago

PluralPaul 1 points 1y ago
If I had someone ordering that many in cafe, I'd immediately ask them if they'd be fine with bags of cold sandwiches because by the time their order is done, the majority of the sandwiches will be slightly warmer than room temperature at best. Shove it in an oven yourself so you can have them all warm for everyone

That truly sucks!
