interaction today- venti rant im sorry ;-; (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by natalie_____
so i’m a licensed store worker, and i don’t get starbucks too often, but the closest one by me is a normal corporate store, or whatever they are called, a franchise maybe. i haven’t been in there since i started working at starbucks, snd unfortunately this time i was coming in 12 minutes before closing. i understand that it’s annoying when someone comes in and your just trying to do pre closing, but at the same time you’re still open yk? we get people coming in like this and sure if it’s a long day i might be tired and annoyed but i would never be an asshole of course. a lot of the time they don’t even know we’re about to close so 🤷‍♀️ but going in i could clearly see annoyance and there were 4 employees out in front , and one barista just slowly walked over with an annoyed expression and gahhhh you could just tell :( my sister and i ordered a peach green tea lemonade and dragon drink, in my opinion nothing crazy or too difficult right?? while waiting for the drinks, i saw the barista who took our order talking to their coworker, nod over to us(the only ppl in there) and they were laughing :/ not sure what about but it made me really anxious, and ofc feel even more bad. we were given the drinks with attitude and i said thank you we appreciate it, have a great night! and i just a got a dry you too back.

i read into situations a lot and try and have positive interactions with other baristas, but most have been like this. i think im just looking to get other’s opinion on this 😖

im sorry they chose to respond that way, just know it had nothing to do with you!! you weren’t rude and the drinks you ordered were pretty simple… but even then, they shouldn’t have acted that way because im sure they have done stuff pretty similar. i wouldn’t read much into it because it truly wasn’t your fault because im sure there mood had been like that hours before you came in and unfortunately they chose to place their annoyance of the day on you 😕😕

ya personally i would never go into a store that close to closing. i as a barista would be annoyed as hell but i wouldn’t show it to the customer LOL.

exaaaactly i too would be annoyed BUT in the end, they’re still open yk??? and yea whenever people do come in this close (or closer) to us being closed i would never be an asshole to them

At least you didn’t order a Frappuccino…. Like a refresher and tea are not the worst things in the world to make before closing. That’s nasty of them and completely inappropriate
