it’s time to see how bad these customers REALLY want it
nicolelynnejones 88 points 1y ago
maybe some some of them will realize how ridiculous some of their customizations sound out loud lol
wavvyhag 82 points 1y ago
omfg you’re right…… i wanna hear “venti in a venti cup” so bad
AtTheBarMatt 30 points 1y ago
After like 10 times of the same guy coming in and asking to be double cupped, I realized there is no option for double cup on the app and venti in a venti is how they try to tell you that.
wavvyhag 17 points 1y ago
i like that he’s using it in that way!! but i’ve never had any of my venti in a venti/grande in a grande customers ask for another cup, i swear they just wanna press more buttons. i wish they were actually trying to communicate something to me 😂
Hola_soymilk 1 points 1y ago
What's the point of double cup?
Loh-Doh 17 points 1y ago
I assure you, as a kiosk supervisor who only just got mobile, that they don't realize it.

Responsible_Snow7109 35 points 1y ago
Same lmao my shift and i were on bar and she was like "huh thats strange, why are we not gettin mobiles?"
Minimum_Salary_6319 25 points 1y ago
i checked the sticker machine 3 times to make sure it was working 😭😭😭
Responsible_Snow7109 12 points 1y ago
Lmaoo yo I literally would open the printer up here and there and sometimes doing that would mess up the alignment of the sticker roll
vickera 85 points 1y ago
"Excuse me, your app is done and I can't order online.

"OK sorry, you can still come through the drive through and we'll make it for you.

"Well what are you doing to fix the problem? I need the app right now

"Uh nothing, I don't manage Starbucks IT department, I make coffee.

"This is unacceptable. Please let me speak your manager
sheep_heavenly 46 points 1y ago
"he also is not in the IT department and knows even less about the app but Okay!!!"

lilpanita 43 points 1y ago
unbelievably grateful 😭 todays my longest shift of the week and i don’t have to worry about mobiles🎉
sh3nan1gans_ 30 points 1y ago
Omg it’s great. Apparently the only state that it’s working in is New York. But I had a lady get mad and told us to turn it on, especially when I told her it’s a nationwide problem
Comfortable-Plane944 17 points 1y ago
God people are so dense
TransposedApophenia 13 points 1y ago
Not working here in NYC
sh3nan1gans_ 9 points 1y ago
Oh really? Our store manager said it was this morning! Odd!
hlyfckitsyu 7 points 1y ago
Upstate New York partner- It glitched on occasion and sometimes mobiles and delivery would start coming in and then not. We had one lady at the drive thru, comment:
“I’m sure you’ve heard this already but your app isn’t working.”
Me: “Yup, unfortunately it hasn’t been working since this morning and it’s a nationwide issue. My manager told us it may take an hour but it’s taking longer than expected.”
*customer follows up acting awkward and standoff-ish*
I was vibing, idc

Mea-fae_Owl73 9 points 1y ago
Yes! Here in CA for sure
uwumoment 8 points 1y ago
our system at our store broke down a week ago and we couldn’t take orders, after that we couldn’t play music, our bar stickers were routed incorrectly, so chaos. this brings me a lot of happiness, i can’t believe starbucks is so disorganized
reclusivegiraffe 1 points 1y ago
that same thing happened to us, with the music and the stickers!
ella0la 8 points 1y ago
Blessed Thursday
Realistic_Ad_3352 6 points 1y ago

crzyshiba 4 points 1y ago
Yes my open was amazing lol 😂 no rush but then I got angry Karen’s about the mobile it made up for the no mobiles ..
TarantulaTeeth13 4 points 1y ago
Still down in Northern Nevada! But at least people can pay with the app now. This morning even that wasn't working! It's been a nice break 🥲
BelligerentCoroner 3 points 1y ago
Interesting. At my store in Washington, they could pay on the app but they couldn't automatically reload.
nuggyporn69 4 points 1y ago
Yep! ❤️

Js_On_My_Yeet 3 points 1y ago
After working 6 days straight and finally having my first day off, I hope the app stays down for all your sake 👍🏼
7beforeminutes5 3 points 1y ago
Down in montana too. Blissfully quiet except we’ve had about a dozen deliveries more than normal.
[deleted] 3 points 1y ago
Honestly this has made my whole day really hard. We usually don’t get foot traffic but today we didn’t have mobile up so they all came inside. (They don’t schedule for foot traffic) so we have no body to cover r1 for it all 😵‍💫
Lampinglamp 3 points 1y ago
just checked and it’s down here in arizona too. hope all baristas are celebrating this time
PluralPaul 2 points 1y ago
This explains the lack of mobile orders, although...what happened to all of the delivery orders? 🤔
Profak 2 points 1y ago
My cafe store does almost 70% mobiles during peak. The app being down just meant that they all came in, and peak lasted twice as long.

I got a good laugh though, when one of our regulars asked me what he orders. He has it saved, and doesn’t know what he gets. 💀
Desperate_Quail491 2 points 1y ago
People in my town are committed to their morning Starbucks. We were in the weeds during rush for a little bit. x.x
becksaroni 2 points 1y ago
I just transferred into a new store because I moved states. I noticed they're typically a little slower than my old store. Today I was put on cafe/mobile for peak and sat there like "Dang, they really are so much slower. I don't like this" and then found out that mobiles were just down😂 we later rerouted the printers to hot/cold bar and had 3 people on cleaning/CS.

Down in L.A still 😂

Still down in Tennessee
IzzyIllustrations 1 points 1y ago
Dude mobile is fucking ridiculous. We served so many customers and none of them had to wait more than 2 minutes for each drink. We were caught up almost all day.
Swimming-Fee-2445 1 points 1y ago
In Canada it wasn’t working either. It was kind of nice not having mobile orders today on top of the cafe orders.
AcadiaFresh563 0 points 1y ago
Lmao ours were down....

.... and one of our 2 mastreno machines are down. Company said they might be able to fix it Monday? But its graduation weekend for the universities and hs's sooooo this weekend is gonna suck lmao
acnh1222 -4 points 1y ago
If I was at work today, I would love this, but I was trying to call out of my shift today and I don’t have my store number saved so I usually find it on the app and couldn’t 😂 I was too half-asleep to think of using the Maps app
