So, we have cones that barricade the drive thru line. You must circle the building to enter. If not: we politely say “Thank you for choosing Starbucks! For the safety and concern of our customers and workers, we ask that you must circle the building to enter the drive thru. Thank you!”

Well. This guy cuts through the cones and backs into the speaker and we give him the script.
He doesn’t respond.
We repeat the script.
He says “I don’t have enough gas to circle the building”
We repeat the script.
He is on the phone with someone with which he tells them “Huh I guess they can’t hear me. Let me turn my car off” which he proceeds to do.

At this point… we’re just standing there like bro… he cut off three cars.
Whoever he is talking to, he is complaining that we can’t hear him and is shouting helloooooo.
We repeat the script.
He says “I’ll wait 2 minutes before I take my business elsewhere. Paying for your shitty overpriced coffee. STARBUCKS STOCKS ARE GOING DOWN AS WE SPEAK”
We repeat the script!
He said “okay make that ten minutes. I just need 5 $10 gift cards. Can you guys do that? It’s not that hard.”
He continues to repeat that until he finally pulls away.

I’d like to mention he said multiple times he was half deaf but we figured he was just bullshitting. He also said he was recording us lol. Amazing. Thoughts? Opinions?

that angers me to my core. I’ve dealt with customers who have cut the lines or entered the wrong way into the drive thru and I am SICK of their audacity when we are concerned for other customers safety.

Lmaooo then why is he there if the coffee is shitty and overpriced to him? If he thinks that, then why would he say he would give it 2 minutes? Just go somewhere else if u dont wana overpay for shitty coffee.
