“I WANT AN ICED BLONDE CAFÉ LATTE WITH HAZELNUT AND VANILLA SWEET CREAM COLD FOAM WITH CINNAMON POWDER ON TOP”

Wait a minute then hit them with the “Thank you for waiting! What can I get started for you?”

If you’re looking to de-escalate by deceiving the customer you can tell them your headset died 😉

Whenever people do that and I’m trying to do something else real quick, I purposefully wait a little bit after that and just say, “I’m sorry, what was that?”

DieLawnUwU 15 points 1y ago

I’ll do that or I’ll speak very firmly and say we’ll be with you in just a moment, thank you. And they usually react with well damn I guess I should keep my mouth shut then

Jaded_Fun_7133 1 points 1y ago

I just wait and then repeat the greeting 🤣🤣

I did that once and the person at the box was NOT taking shit that day, I was punching in their order and did not have patience or the time of day to make sure I punched it in correctly. They eventually just drove off and attempted to report me to my shifts even though they weren’t giving me time or patience that day (I had been there 2-3 maybe 4 months by then)

syd_99 13 points 1y ago

We make it a game of how many times you have to repeat it at my store. Like dt says that and then someone else chimes in and then someone else

Decapp_ 6 points 1y ago

LMAO I was just about to say that’s what we do at my store

Brgnbo 11 points 1y ago

When they do that I wait a little longer and then answer with “thank you for your patience!!!!! What can I get for you!”

Glizzysforrizzy 9 points 1y ago

Nearby-Philosophy-25 [OP] 11 points 1y ago

I've had people try to order at the window.
Me: Can I help you?
Them: Is this where I place my order?
Me: No, you place it at the speaker box
Them: Oh, I've never been here before

Had a guy try to act like he had never been thru a drive thru before he was at least early 30s and i was like uhuh

ilholtstilin 1 points 1y ago

Related are the people to respond to “What can I get for you?” with “What did you say?” Like use context clues my guy

bisexualgirlboss 5 points 1y ago

I hate that sm. My biggest ick when it comes to customers. If they ignore me telling them to hold on, I will kindly remind them again bc that does not help us go faster or get their order down correctly. I swear 🙄

DeadDear 4 points 1y ago

I just say “Sorry! I’ll be with you in one moment.”

ayriahnae 2 points 1y ago

And then they drive up to the window. As if we were paying attention, and they get all annoyed that they have to repeat the order...

Noobplzforgive 1 points 1y ago

I cut them off immediately and tell them I'll be with them shortly. If the keep going, I repeat myself til they get the message.

Ace_Hardwear 1 points 1y ago
