When the customers want to sound ✨fancy✨ but really just sound 🤡

i hate when people order things the complete opposite from how i need to ring it in. like i know it’s not really their fault because they don’t know how we do it on our end, but especially when they’re like almond milk no foam extra shot …. and then say latte or shaken espresso or whatever at the end. or like can i get a strawberry açaí? and then ask if it can be with lemonade 😐

when they order something incorrectly but insist they're right and you're an idiot for trying to clarify what it is they want <<<<<<<<

Tbf there is one store I go to sometimes that mixes up cold and hot bar pumps, and I’ll either get 7 (large) pumps of vanilla or 4 (large). It’s coffee roulette.

Ordering things upside down for no reason, then being upset upon seeing the drink not how it usually looks.

Why are humans like this??
Canadiansbux 9 points 1y ago
I had a lady that refused to call her double tall latte a double latte, because she wanted 2 shots poured separately. Like that makes a big difference.

that’s so weird
BlueWaters99 3 points 1y ago
Do people really order “double latte”? I would then be asking them do you want that as a hot grande or hot venti latte? I wouldn’t be thinking “double tall latte”.

Double tall latte they want more espresso less milk.
BlueWaters99 2 points 1y ago
Yep. We get double tall lattes by a few regular customers. It’s when customers cut off part of the order to try to order faster? If they say double latte I would assume grande or venti. Lol.

Got yelled at by a customer during handoff, they immediately questioned me "um, did you make that drink correctly?" It was a nitro, extra sweet cream, stirred... they wanted nitro with sweet cream on the bottom & then on the top, stirred... I just don't get it.

it's because for many many decades and a long tradition you could order at coffee shops around the world a "single" or a "double" espresso. There was no triple. You can even see it in our order system since the double is called a Doppio.

a "double" + "shot" is a traditional way to order the drink.

Can I get the bacon gouda with no meat or cheese.
Responsible_Snow7109 1 points 1y ago
Lol ive had someone recently order a bacon gouda with no egg and no cheese
BlueWaters99 3 points 1y ago
There is always the people that want things poured a certain way or stare at you as you are making the drink and are controlling the ice or the milk. Ugh. Just order it how you like it and leave the rest to us.🙄

It always throws me off every time they say it in that order! Idk why it does lmao “can a get a triple grande latte extra hot” My brain always computes it as (do you want me to triple the size?) 😂😂
