I stared dead in a customer's eyes and rolled up my window silently once. Best feeling ever.

I hated when i would come to work early to do homework before my shift and customers would not leave me alone. Even with headphones on they would stand there till i acknowledged them.

ain’t no way… during your 30??? wild 😭😭😭

But you wanna date me right? Because you are friendly. /s

Lol that’s why most at my store park far enough away people wont see them

Had a customer see me out in public and ask me to fix his iphone.......... bro??? I am a barista?? And not at work???

My coworker deadass had an older regular of ours get into the passenger seat of her car while she was about to leave to talk about a MUSIC FESTIVAL I cannot believe it

As a customer, I hate the new forced connection conversations at the window. It makes me so uncomfortable and it’s inappropriate. I stopped for a coffee on the way to visit my bf in prison a couple weeks ago and the barista casually asks, “where ya headed?” Peoples lives are private!!

petrifying

One time, a guy came in being kinda weird. I'm talking looking around a lot, being obviously nervous about stuff, and walking the perimeter of the lobby. We had never seen him before but had to be nice because money. It was late enough that no one else was in the cafe, but there was still some time before we closed. We didn't say anything. Just watched him in case he decided to be a problem.

Anyways, I'm close to the end of my shift and there isn't much to do, so I am near front wiping stuff down. He comes up and starts talking about houses in the area and property, which was a little odd but like...whatever. I just politely tell him that I don't really know and that he can check online. He mentioned that he was traveling in his car and was interested in buying property. Again, I let him know that there are websites for that. I take his order, and he goes and walks around the lobby until his drink is done.

When he gets his drink, he starts talking to me again and will not leave me or my now GF alone. I have a bit of a break from him when I clock out, but as soon as I get back out there to get a drink before leaving, he is at it again. Now talking about weirdly personal stuff that could be taken in a sexual way if you squint. When I have ordered my drink and am waiting at the counter for it, he asks me if I want to see him sometime. I just very bluntly tell him that I am gay. He talks about being disappointed but says he figured I was??? And then he starts to grill me about being gay and how maybe I'm not. I ended up staying until it was time to close cause I didn't want my now GF up front alone with this creep and knew the other two were busy with closing tasks in BOH.

Some customers are a whole piece of work.

bruh this shit happened to me too i wanted to scream but i felt forced to smile and chat bc i was still in my apron

Coming from a medium-ish town of about 100,000 people and working at the second most popular of four locations, it basically made me feel like almost like a celebrity. I swear I couldn’t go anywhere without being recognized by someone to the point where my friends literally timed how long it took before someone recognized me. The record was 15 minutes.

We have one that is so 'comfortable' that he will try to walk behind the counter to talk to us- and I'm the only one that is like you're too fn close man

Yes , how rude do you have to be to disturb someone on their UNPAID BREAK 😭. Yes I’m gone be the one to say it leave me df alone

The worst is when they hold up the line and talk their mouths off to you nonstop and expect you to answer back while you’re busy trying to take their order and make their drink

Yessss….. that’s so annoying

Be nice to your customers, and they'll tip you better.
