Time to double batch
noimpatrick121 points1y ago
At that point arent you guys allowed to ask them to order inside the cafe because its too big for a drive thru order?
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]21 points1y ago
nope ! we take orders at the window too in which I HATE! I think OUR DM SAID NOOOOO 😳
noimpatrick114 points1y ago
I guess I understand because customers would only get mad if they were turned away after waitjng a long line. But theres should at least be a sign near the drive- thru that says “Please bring orders larger than 5 items to our cafe” or something like that.
kidcharliemagne12 points1y ago
rip you cake pops dont count as real pastries tho 😪
emileeavi3 points1y ago
Lol that's what I was thinking like the cakepops are the easiest thing in this order since you don't have to heat it up (which heating shit up takes FOREVER AND I HATE IT)
SoulSl00t3 points1y ago
Literally!! And we’re down an oven too bc our store manager pulled the handle off somehow. ✌️🥲
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]-8 points1y ago
then what do they count as ? please explain…. & provide quoted sources only :)
kidcharliemagne14 points1y ago
they count as a sticky WASTE OF TIME (me, 2022) works cited: also me
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]-6 points1y ago
says no one ever ☠️
Affogatho12 points1y ago
get these orders multiple times a day at my store and it makes me bananas
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]5 points1y ago
tell me about it , we get them on the daily! i pray for a 1-2 order car 😂
Affogatho7 points1y ago
SERIOUSLY it'll be the person with one drink behind these monster orders and I'm like 💀
geogrokat10 points1y ago
I wouldve told them to come inside
sarahtilton_6 points1y ago
Had someone today order 3 muffins, 4 pumpkin loafs, 2 banana breads and a couple bacon goudas in the drive thru along with 4 frappes. Everyone with a headset made the face, but at least they tipped their change🥴
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]1 points1y ago
Glad to hear!
nilrehsttam5 points1y ago
Tbf the 6 pastries are just cake pops
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]-1 points1y ago
And? They could still come inside
nilrehsttam7 points1y ago
They could but I’m just saying the pastries aren’t so bad they could’ve been some oven pastries or something
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]-5 points1y ago
Yea I read what you said 😂 if you seen drive times after you’d probably understand
Lampinglamp3 points1y ago
had a guy pull up to the drive thru and they were just passing by my state (family road trip). they ordered 6 breakfast sandwiches, 8 drinks, and 5 pastries all through dt. my time was HORRENDOUS.
thankfully, i don’t work at a dt location anymore so honestly may god be with you
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]2 points1y ago
thanks for your understanding and support obviously some of these folks never been to a drive thru store or may have not been properly taught how times work and affect the store :) anything over 4 in the drive is inconsiderate drink-wise
Lampinglamp2 points1y ago
no i totally agree! and hopefully you’re able to one day transfer to a cafe only store. it’s so much better ngl.
when i did work dt, i appreciated those who said “i can pull up and waiting in the parking lot if need be” truly angels.
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]2 points1y ago
right & aww that’s so sweet !
ichxnel3 points1y ago
Once a car orders over 3 drinks I get annoyed 😂 even 3 is pushing it 😂 so I feel your frustration
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]3 points1y ago
haha I don’t be frustrated it’s just annoying for the person on bar & the cars behind :/
Accurate-Bumblebee143 points1y ago
Please pull around and park...
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]1 points1y ago
Right!
Keithxmizu2 points1y ago
batching literally everything
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]1 points1y ago
would love to do that but not when we constantly have all levels of management in the store on a basis including the DM
Calm_Preference62092 points1y ago
lmao it ain’t even that serious just batch blending three times and grabbing two packs of cake pops 😭
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]1 points1y ago
not every store has the privilege of that unfortunately if your taught proper standard
Calm_Preference62093 points1y ago
we’re all taught proper standard but I mean we can bend the rules to get shit goin
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]1 points1y ago
nice .
DefinetelyNotaRobott2 points1y ago
Man. Daily occurrence at the tourism drive thru here
emobroccoli2 points1y ago
When custies do this at my store, we have them pay at the window and pick up in the cafe so they don’t hold up our line.
_germcon42 points1y ago
And they ended the order saying “that’s all for me”
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]1 points1y ago
Right!
DecompressionIllness2 points1y ago
Not at Starbucks but at another chain: We had an uber delivery of 18 drinks once. We were severely pissed off.
Motor-Literature-8961 points1y ago
we love no mods tho😭
Haybobuggins1 points1y ago
Wait wait when I do coffee runs for my office I order online and pick up in drive thru should I not do that? I do it mainly because I can't carry all the drinks but should I not anymore?
KaoriLikesWatari7 points1y ago
The difference between big cafe orders and big DT orders is that with big Cafe orders, as long as you yourself have patience, there’s not a single issue in the world. Your stuff will all be out eventually and asap, we promise. But if you have a large order in drive thru, even if you ARE patient as all hell knows, the person behind you most likely isn’t. And then behind them, and so on. If some guy behind that order has nothing but a Venti Dark Roast getting cold, he’ll be more upset than you having to wait, trust me. We don’t hate anyone with big orders. We just wish they’d all be more considerate to other customers and baristas as well. Patience really is key.
AlectoBlood433 points1y ago
That's true as a lot of people these days are not patient in the least.
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]2 points1y ago
Well said! Hats off
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]2 points1y ago
If it’s placed in adequate amounts of time and you wait a good 10-15 mins before picking up. There’s people who place a mobile of (14 drinks) and moments later come asking for it like huhhh??? I don’t blame you for picking it up in drive (less chance of mishap /dropping a drink :/ & hopefully to get you out in time to return back to work). Imagine it the other way around your trying to pickup your coffee run and in a rush to return to work and the person in front of you orders 8 venti frappes 2 shaken espressos, and 2 Pikes . Now your returning to work with warm coffee :/, melted down frappes :/, cold soggy food :/ Like they mentioned no problem just pack your patience and consider the following….
Responsible_Snow71092 points1y ago
Lol had so many people order mobile and come into the store to pick it up and sometimes I get the sticker and pull it out the printer right away and then I start making it and then I see the person come in and they tell me their name and I look at the sticker on the cup and then I pulled my phone out and look at the time so they can see that it's ridiculous that they showed up literally two minutes after placing the order. This has happened so much recently
Intelligent-Hunt-906 [OP]2 points1y ago
hey at least you can pull your phone out :/
Responsible_Snow71092 points1y ago
Lol yea i mean were allowed to have our phones on us because some of us get calls from doctors such as myself and we are allowed to step away and answer it if there's someone that can cover our position. But some of us pull our phone out to look at the calendar so we can day dot stuff

Responsible_Snow71091 points1y ago
Oh no picking it up in drive thru is completely fine! As long as you're patient and understanding! The problem is that people place orders at the speaker box for a million drinks when they should really be ordering it and store it if they're going to be placing a huge order. It's fine to pick up in the drive-thru though if you mobile order it like in your situation🙂
connoradv0 points1y ago
the pastries are all just pop in a bag it’s not THAT bad lmao
SSFF6B0 points1y ago
At least you can throw the 4 grande GTFs together, the 2 caramels, and then make the mocha and add Java chips
