I mean I've taken 14 shots home for tiramisu before
Responsible_Snow7109 67 points 1y ago
Yepp some guy had asked for somewhere around 20 shots once for a dessert his mom was guna make with it. But this person could have atleast ordered their 22 shots inside the store instead of drive thru 💀

Ok I wish I could up vote this a million times! If I had an award to give you I would!
Responsible_Snow7109 3 points 1y ago
Lol aww thank u ☺️. Yea im glad i do not work at a drive thru cuz i feel like I easily lose my mind internally when it comes to certain things and I know it would happen for sure at a drive-thru store even more. Thank God I work in a cafe/mobile store so wen the one guy in my previous comment ordered his 20 shots for his moms dessert, he ordered in store and we were also extremely slow at that point in the day. But idk why these kinds of people always go through the drive-thru and order a catering amount of drinks or something like 22 shots. It's as if they feel like when they get to the window then it doesn't matter how long it takes for their order to be fulfilled because at that point they feel like they have the right of way to do that and they don't care about anybody else behind them or about the poor Baristas who have to deal with all that crap in between and afterwards

aww starbucks espresso for tiramisu :( nooo
Tabbystripes102 3 points 1y ago
I did ristretto at least and partial cold brew concentrate, but can't complain since it was my free work drink
cory_putnam 3 points 1y ago
how big was this tiramisu, I only needed like 7 shots for a 9x11 😦
Tabbystripes102 3 points 1y ago
There was definitely leftover since I'd rather have extra than not enough
Lampinglamp 35 points 1y ago
i-

the worst i’ve seen is 36 shots ordered (18 shots draken in one go right after ordering) but… she got it for FREE??

also, how in the hell is anyone drinking 22 shots at 19:38??
blahblahcapitalism [OP] 28 points 1y ago
i was on bar and when i heard 22 shots over the headset i whipped my head around and the girl on drive asked for clarification and the customer said ya 22 shots pls
Lampinglamp 14 points 1y ago
i can’t even. i’m just so sorry.

thankfully i don’t work at a dt sbux anymore so if i need to ask a customer a question, they’re right there in front of me. but man the crazy stories that come out of dt alone are a lot

Both of our machines would peace out
The water pressure + weather + other stuff is causing issues

7pm????

I wonder if she’s trying to save them for home, I’ve seen people try that, but it’s kinda dumb since the shots die
blahblahcapitalism [OP] 16 points 1y ago
literally. and she didn’t even wanna tell us what it was for. and we asked.
peepeepoopaccount 38 points 1y ago
There’s a 90% chance this was her through process:

“Wow…. I can get any drink for free??? Well what if I just got 22 shots to make drinks at home! Free Starbucks for the rest of the week! I played Starbucks so well!!”

This is why there should be limits to the stupid 150 star thing. Like 2 customizations.
Interesting_Winner96 3 points 1y ago
Coffee enema lmao 🤣 😆 😂
TheGoldBlaster6nine 19 points 1y ago
Had to empty the shot tray at least twice for that 💀
blahblahcapitalism [OP] 16 points 1y ago
oh i forgot to add that she requested it in a venti iced cup
TarantulaTeeth13 11 points 1y ago
I would have asked her to pull through and come inside. 22 shots is too much, even if you have 3 bars...
blahblahcapitalism [OP] 17 points 1y ago
ya we ended up doing that. we only have two bars but i ended up just taking one bar to do it cause we had other ppl in line and it took like 8 mins
Responsible_Snow7109 5 points 1y ago
💀💀
cory_putnam 2 points 1y ago
mmmm extra micro plastics (:
Illustrious-Air9834 9 points 1y ago
I woulda been that meme of that lady with the math symbols around her head trying to add up all the shots I just queued I swear
UserNoUsername 8 points 1y ago
but what does 2/2 mean?
blahblahcapitalism [OP] 9 points 1y ago
she ordered 4 drinks in total and wanted this one separately so it just means she had 2 orders. during a rush it makes it easier to mark 1/2 and 2/2 on separate orders for the same car. we just do it at night too
Kimmikkokat 1 points 1y ago
Ok but I'm gonna suggest this at our store tonight. This is such a good idea. We already do it for delivery's with more than one bag.
UserNoUsername 1 points 1y ago
ahhhh understandable
astivana 7 points 1y ago
I probably would’ve refused to do any more than would fit in a venti cup. Cold cups are not made to hold that much hot liquid.
blahblahcapitalism [OP] 5 points 1y ago
ya that’s what i was thinking too. she wanted it in a cold cup
astivana 3 points 1y ago
How did the plastic not melt? Even double-cupped?
blahblahcapitalism [OP] 6 points 1y ago
i have no idea but the cup was hot asf even double cupped

Immediate_Anteater_2 5 points 1y ago
Lmao at least we’re like fake baristas who don’t have to pull our own shots I guess?? But this is too much either way
briameowmeow 4 points 1y ago
We have a regular get the exact same amount of shots in an ice cup. Turns out she freezes the shots in ice cube trays and drops them into her cold brew. Still annoying and backs up the bar but at least I had a reason.
I_atethecat 4 points 1y ago
depending on her weight, it could be a suicide attempt. It would only take 21 to kill me…
TinyBeanBabey 3 points 1y ago
I'll have to find the pic I took and post it but I once had a guy in dt order 29 shots and 16 pumps of white mocha
Interesting_Winner96 3 points 1y ago
Coffee enema that's why she didn't wanna tell ya .... I have no idea I'm just guessing and I'm not even sure how that process works lmao
The_xenophile0 3 points 1y ago
I swear (mentally) I would have f****d her up when she pulled up to the window. How dare she do this bull crap! Messing up the DTO/DTW time!!!🤬
thatbarista05 2 points 1y ago
I had someone order 15 shots with 12 pumps of frap roast in the drive thru 🥲🥲 2 minutes before we closed. Then got upset when it took more than 30 seconds
Montymania94 1 points 1y ago
I was gonna laugh at the "coffee enema" comments, but then I realized that's probably why she wouldn't tell you what it was for... oof.
mulderufo13 1 points 1y ago
Is she okay? Like what was the reasoning behind this order
madisonla 1 points 1y ago
Oh my gosh… did you time how long this took?
Zealousideal-Safe62 1 points 1y ago
What…the hell hahahha
albinopigsfromspace 1 points 1y ago
Is… she okay?
ittybittybakerkitty 1 points 1y ago
What is she doing? I only need 3 shots to make a batch of espresso marshmallows
Mea-fae_Owl73 1 points 1y ago
