BluejayHefty20296 points1y ago
The banana in vanilla bean taste like banana cream pie
Nearby-Philosophy-25 [OP]38 points1y ago
It’s just that we don’t have fresh whole bananas???
marigshu54 points1y ago
We used to not too long ago
Nearby-Philosophy-25 [OP]34 points1y ago
My store is so new that we’ve never had them :) I didn’t know that was a thing!!
TheSortingHate24 points1y ago
With a little cinnamon dolce syrup it was pretty good
adolfop_4205 points1y ago
If u are in Florida you definitely don’t have them but certain states will like I believe Santa Barbara in California had it last time I was there
Victoriamarie032 points1y ago
Okay whew I was about to say I miss the bananas
TheFriendlyFeminist8 points1y ago
It depends on whether your SSV/sm is able to order them with the other supplies. Sometimes they don’t because they just don’t sell before they go bad. But there should still be an “add banana” button
imathrowayslc6 points1y ago
Was in the weekly update about 4 months ago. Bananas are permanently discontinued :(
GerbilFeces4 points1y ago
ooo, i believe most do, and theres actually a button on POS for it
LilacFlores3 points1y ago
I thought with the new release the button actually has been removed?
GerbilFeces2 points1y ago
Ohh? I havnt worked for starbs for like 9 months so you may be right.
emileeavi2 points1y ago
Ooh. A grande Mocha cookie crumble with an added banana in a venti cup (banana causes it to go to about a venti) is super yummy.
juicyspitwater1 points1y ago
hahahaha, you said creampie. (i’m sorry)
Silver_Shards37 points1y ago
The first one is actually pretty good, I do it on my break sometimes (with a pump of brown sugar and one less scoop VBP) and the 5th would be good for two little kids. The others though? Just, no.
bigbullg8tr222 points1y ago
Lol I must have worked at Starbucks too long?, none of those seem all that outrageous to me
Interesting_Seat_30920 points1y ago
People normally split the frappes if they have two kids and can't afford two!
TRoseee11 points1y ago
Or if they want the kids to have a bit less. It normally doesn’t completely fill the cup and a lot of parents know this.
StrangeCloudz710-33 points1y ago
If you have two kids and can't afford Starbucks, maybe don't go? 😅
LilacFlores32 points1y ago
Poor people are allowed to have nice things too. God forbid someone wants to give their kid one treat.
StrangeCloudz710-28 points1y ago
Then you should likely be able to afford to do so 🤪
LilacFlores12 points1y ago
Whats it like to be a privileged asshole?
cswtf3 points1y ago
This isn’t even about being poor. Most kids won’t finish a whole one, if it’s possible to split one and all it takes is putting one in two separate cups—wtf is the big deal? Get off your crazy high horse
normaldud15 points1y ago
Customer orders a cafe vanilla Frappuccino.. with HOT FOAM on top.. Had to get 2 shifts to verify that’s what he wanted and had to ask my SM if I was even allowed.. she gave it a pass this and told him next time we won’t be able to do so.
alyssughjo14 points1y ago
What 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve made an affogato frap before but… nah. Hot foam? That’s doing too much, why did they even think of this lmao
ladycali872 points1y ago
What even is the point lol!! Customers lately, I swear are getting crazier and crazier

canidieyet_11 points1y ago
the vanilla bean frap with a banana and blue berries was absolutely to DIE for. it was the only frap i would drink, tbh.
my store would make our own “smoothies”: nondairy milk as the base (we usually used almond), 1-2 bananas, blueberries, a scoop of strawberry inclusions, and sometimes we would add mango pieces. double blend with 1 pump cream base. delicious.
BelligerentCoroner6 points1y ago
I'm an old-timer at Sbux. *Back in my day* we used to have Evolution Fresh smoothies- I think there was strawberry, mango, and super greens fresh juice bases. We blended it with a banana and yogurt, and could add protein powder, blueberries, and kale! Those things were SO GOOD, and actually healthy!
canidieyet_2 points1y ago
we still have those! my coworkers use them for “smoothies” too, but i don’t know what they use or how much so i didn’t mention it lol
BelligerentCoroner6 points1y ago
It was different than the RTD&E juices! The base was much thicker, and all the stuff for them (Greek yogurt, kale, fruit, etc) took up a whole shelf in the cold bev fridge. But maybe they still have them in certain areas- I know the RTD&E options vary by location, so who knows?
canidieyet_3 points1y ago
oooh i see!
Broad-Flounder-49715 points1y ago
Guess I’m bringing a banana to work now
hitherforthkerms11 points1y ago
Try a Trenta ice Blk tea lemonade with a heavy cream base double blended with 10 pumps of vanilla and 8 pumps of raspberry. It’s so fucking gross 🤮
throwaway282527210 points1y ago
that last one is VILE
FunnyMonth603910 points1y ago
So why is no one talking about taking out the GREEN TEA EXTRACT

Two of these are crazy in the sense that’s it’s impossible but the rest are fine IMO
mushmushmushmus6 points1y ago
wait, why cant we take 50s?
cpv_9122 points1y ago
We can take them, always make sure to check with the marker. Problem is really, who has change for a bill this large at 5:30a when the purchase is less than $4. It's discouraged but not declined except maybe in the case of the $100 if all we have in a till is some $5s and the rest singles.
nightimevil4 points1y ago
Someone tried to give me a 50 in the morning, and I always feel so shitty because I don't have enough change in the morning for that. In the afternoon tho? Probably.
Graxin3 points1y ago
First one is normal, there is(or used to be) a button for it. Also I can order bananas.
Splitting the Frappuccinos, my first district said no but my current one says yes it is fine.
_hipster_dog_1 points1y ago
Mine said venti into two talls no. But a grande or talls split into two cups is fine because it's most likely a parent with small kids who wouldn't be able to finish the drink all on their own
adolfop_4203 points1y ago
Another i had yesterday let me get a white mocha but make sure it has no chocolate
kobo153 points1y ago
I hated having bananas in store, but bananas in a strawberry frap? Delicious
Slanes262 points1y ago
I’m legit cringing rn
KurtzKOButtz2 points1y ago
Okay the banana in the vanilla bean frap is kinda fire tho
Edit: I see now that stores don’t have bananas? Wack
lovinglylost942 points1y ago
Half lemonade half sweet cream 🤢 that was 2 days ago and my stomach is still churning
[deleted]1 points1y ago

_jer97_-1 points1y ago
I’ve hD someone order that drink before too and i was so disgusted while making it 🤢
immickle2 points1y ago
half of these aren’t crazy though
madydt2 points1y ago
we can split a tall frap into two cups but it’s the only size… otherwise they have to order two of the bigger sizes
nerdyoats1 points1y ago
Oh those are nothing. I once had a lady try to get a frozen blueberry scone to blend into a frap. She comes in every so often and she has terrorized our entire district with this request.
ComfortingCliche1 points1y ago
Jesus, talk about picky. And I thought someone who wanted strawberry sauce in their mocha frappucino yesterday was bad.
nerdyoats1 points1y ago
That actually sounds pretty banger! Add some vanilla bean powder and you got yourself a Neapolitan!
ayakowantsmemes1 points1y ago
I had a mobile order for a blended Strawberry Acai no water, basically all the other juices and syrup.. with chocolate cold foam 🥴
LouisDaFrizzz1 points1y ago
frap roast in a shaken espresso, im screaming
just last week, i had a customer ask if she could have no strawberry purée in her strawberry crème frap -_- i wish i was joking
ayakowantsmemes2 points1y ago
Like none at all?? Or maybe just none on the bottom
LouisDaFrizzz1 points1y ago
none at all, when i explained that it would be (mostly) flavorless she just got it normally. legit fell to my knees laughing after taking the order (evening DT)
Alternative_Blacks1 points1y ago
I hate it here 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
YellowSphinx1 points1y ago
- make a double chocolate chip frap, split it in two cups and add coffee to one, only charge me for one drink. - Trenta green iced tea, with 3 shots of espresso. - I would like to purchase a bag of coffee and leave it here so you make me a cup whenever I come in. Those are mine
Visual-Draw-18981 points1y ago
That last one got me 💀
Canadiansbux1 points1y ago
We haven't had bananas since they got rid of smoothies.

throwawaystarbiegirl0 points1y ago
y’all don’t accept $50s and $100s?? we just have to check them first with the marker
FairProfessional014 points1y ago
It depends how much change there is in the till. Sometimes there are no 10s and very few 5s so it’s impossible (or extremely inconvenient to the point of having like 2 one dollar bills left) to give the change in a bunch of 1s and 5s that we need for other transactions
platonicbae-4 points1y ago
technically we aren’t allowed to say no to 50s/100s cus we can’t legally deny any US currency 😵💫 so the other starbs probably did let them do it
Jasmir_19 points1y ago
“There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.”
-USA federal reserve
platonicbae7 points1y ago
let me show this to my store manager since he’s always telling us we can’t deny big bills for legal reasons 😵💫
Torirock1011 points1y ago
we’re allowed to deny it at my store when a mf tries to payfor a 7 dollar order with it
nutria_twiga3 points1y ago
> a mf tries to payfor a 7 dollar order with it
After they used their giftcard, some guy owed .40 and tried handing me a $50. I refused to put my hand out the window. Sir, look for some damn change.
Torirock102 points1y ago
omg
Swordxxxx3 points1y ago
What you could do instead is say “are you ok with small change like 5’s and 1’s? Most people will hate the idea of that. If they agree and you use all your change get your SSV to help with that.
Able-Fudge7855-18 points1y ago
It’s illegal to refuse US currency 😵
Torirock1012 points1y ago
we goin to jail then idc 🤷♀️ starbucks isn’t a bank
Ordinary-Theory-828910 points1y ago
No it’s not. It says “legal tender for all debts public and private.” Your 8$ coffee is not a debt, it’s the price you have to pay to receive a service/product. You’re free to refuse that service if they can’t pay for it in a way you can process
evviiieeee3 points1y ago
you can definitely deny currency lol. that only applies to being paid for a debt. since the customer hasn’t been served their food or drink yet, they don’t owe you a debt, so you can 100% deny currency for any reason
E-X-P-A-N-D-1 points1y ago
The banana and the $50 is fine, the other ones are pretty funny
connoradv2 points1y ago
we don’t sell bananas and taking 50s or 100s on orders that are $10 isn’t gonna happen because we don’t keep 20s in the register
E-X-P-A-N-D1 points1y ago
We don’t put $20s in the reg either, but it’s also not my problem that I have to give them eight $5 bills lol
