I never ever say that i can do it “just this once.” I disagree, and I apologize, but I’ve met a lot of entitled customers saying that “so and so’s starbucks lets me” and usually theyre the same people that have been told they can only do that “just this once.” So, when I have people tell me that, I tell them that per Starbucks policy I have to charge for a latte if its more than 4 oz. If they give me lip, I reiterate and say that I cant do that unless they want to pay for a latte. Always stand your ground because thats EXACTLY how people think theyre entitled to things in the first place. Dont let them bully you into it.

I wish I’m not allowed to this even though I whole heartedly agree

PREACH! I wish everyone would do this. Stop the "I can do it this time" because you're not always there and what's stopping them from doing it to a different partner every day? We all need to be consistent so that we're charging correctly and so that the person that is following policy doesn't look like the ahole.

Also, if you're going to let these people off the hook, why not just charge all of the lattes as doppios, triples, etc? Why do you enable the people who are being cheap? Why not reward the people who order correctly and pay the correct price for their overpriced sugar milk?

End rant.

I tell them I have to charge them for more than 4oz of milk and next time to order a latte.

i usually explain that this one time i can do it, but if they come back or go to another location, they maybe charged for a latte as thats what theyre ordering, then let them know its just policy

Ty I want to be sure I said the right thing

this usually gets me a super understanding response but in the event they have an attitude i just go super hard on the "bc corporate said so"

I’d probably ask them what a “dippo espresso “ is lol

Jk probably say i can once but next time if they want it to the top, I’ll have to charge them for a short two shot latte.
