I had a jerk of a customer a few days ago who wanted an horchata espresso and refused to give me the ingredients. Just kept ordering it as the horchata. I finally get him to show me the drink recipe (that was on the same screen he was on!😡) and it was a shaken espresso with brown sugar, oatmilk, cinnamon, and a few other pumps of random things so I charged him for the bso instead of the shaken like he was trying to order just bc I was mad at that point lmao. If he hadn’t been so rude his $11 drink would’ve been like $8-9

yup yup i noticed while on drive through one day that the shaken espresso alone, even with added milk like soy or oat is still way cheaper than the toasted van or brown sugar shaken espresso. jeez

Wait how’d you get the partner discount to apply on the app???
amazong626 points1y ago
u can add your partners numbers to your sbux account online if u go to account>> personal info after u log in
paolathepanda14 points1y ago
Use desktop site version otherwise you can't add your partner numbers
LilacFlores2 points1y ago
You can still do it on the app
paolathepanda1 points1y ago
Hmmm well I doubt it just because I've tried to before but was not successful until I used desktop site. To add your partner numbers should be in the personal information section. When I go on the app it doesn't give me any option to input them but on desktop it shows a slot to input them. Not sure if you're confusing it with partner card numbers 'cause I know for those you can input it on app.
LilacFlores3 points1y ago
Isn’t the partner card in place of your numbers? I still get my discount and never had to put my actual partner numbers in the app, just the “partner card” numbers they gave me.
Thick_Assumption276 points1y ago
Go into MyPartnerInfo from a Starbucks computer (like the desktop in your BOH). There is an option for a Partner Card there. Add those numbers to your Starbucks account like you're adding a gift card and any time you use it to mobile order, your discount will be applied. You can also scan it at the register with the discount pulled up to scan your number instead of yelling your partner numbers at the cashier 😂

It's the same with and iced flat white, but opposite. If you order an iced flat white its cheaper than ordering an iced latte with an extra shot. They need new people higher up the ladder
mercredi71 points1y ago
This comment just made me realize I forgot to put ristretto shots instead of normal espresso in a flat white today 💔
mama_bibi3 points1y ago
They'll live. I've definitely caffeinated some people by accident and didn't realize until it was too late. Hopefully they lived too
76151A-Pro1 points1y ago
then again, they don't let you make it regular shots, still ristretto in app

its all made-up nonsense designed to perpetuate a false sense of scarcity around their shitty slavery products

This works for flavored lattes and caramel macchiatos too, only in the Venti size though. The caramel macchiato is like 30 cents cheaper. So when I want a venti iced vanilla latte I order an upside down caramel macchiato with no caramel drizzle and one extra pump of vanilla.

I have my partner numbers on my app and it doesn’t give me my partner discount but that’s cool that it should 🥲
[deleted] [OP]2 points1y ago
try to redo it! also how did you get your partner numbers on there bc there’s 2 ways and they’re different and they get you different aspects when discointing
shesallglowedup2 points1y ago
I feel like I did it on a computer but it was a year ago easily, maybe I did it wrong!
sydbey_5 points1y ago
tax? idk I don’t understand
[deleted] [OP]11 points1y ago
oh no it’s not the tax aspect. they’re both the same. there’s nothing different. if you order it as a shaken espresso tho on you’re paying 2 dollars less which makes no sense but 🤷♀️🤷♀️
sydbey_11 points1y ago
wait I didn’t even realize there were 2 pictures 🥸
clouds1836 points1y ago
2$? it’s 80 cents difference not 2$?
Electrical_Metal_1064 points1y ago
The calories are different too-doesn’t make sense.
dazedandconfusedhere5 points1y ago
The calories don’t update for modifications
RubySapphireSage3 points1y ago
Wait we could do partner discounts ?
hecaete473 points1y ago
Yes you find your partner card info & you can put that info on the app
[deleted] [OP]1 points1y ago
yes. so the other person is talking about having your partner card on the mobile app. But, if you want to mobile order, it’s not going to give you a discount unless…. you go to starbucks.com, sign in, then in the settings at the bottom under account, write in your partner numbers manually
Seebass_122 points1y ago
Almost any drink is cheaper if you don’t order the standard name. Same with something as simple as a white mocha. Order a late, add white mocha, add whip. It will be around 30 cents cheaper.
Order two shots of espresso in a cold tall cup with ice and water and it will be cheaper than ordering a tall iced americano.

Big brain time!
Makorra451 points1y ago
I didn’t know we could get a discount as partners 🫣🫢
[deleted] [OP]1 points1y ago
yes we do!
SleepdeprivedBarista1 points1y ago
the calorie difference
brooklxn2 points1y ago
calories don’t update when you do modifications
Zero6ech01 points1y ago
It’s the same with chai: grande steamed milk, 4 pumps chai, add hot water and an ask me
[deleted] [OP]1 points1y ago
i’m confused. like what’s the trade off?
wait do you mean to order a grande steamed milk and add those modifications?
Zero6ech02 points1y ago
It’s cheaper than ordering a grande chai
[deleted] [OP]1 points1y ago
yeah no i tried that on the pos system and you’re right. too bad they won’t allow for chai modification in the app for milk 😭😭
