Please don’t compare racism or xenophobia to making fun of Starbucks customers that spend more money on their daily customized caramel crunch frappucinos than we make in one hour

Maybe to not compare but they all stem from the same thing- judgement

Judging people for judging seems like it’s counterproductive 🤐

Judging is unproductive 😹

Some are just downright funny. One time I got a mobile for a strawberry and cream frappuccino with no strawberry purée. It’s just the best entertainment we got on the job.

Maybe the customers didn’t know that the vanilla bean crème exists

Making fun of people’s disgusting orders, large delivery orders, and other terrible aspects of the job makes it more bearable

No one should be drinking more than 10 pumps of sugar! No one should be ordering a million items for a delivery!

I stg, sometimes it does get really stressful and that does occasionally lighten the mood back there. Not to mention the astronomical amount of rude a** customers we get in one day. I feel that ranting is well deserved.

No one made you responsible for their well-being nor the one that controls peoples' cravings. Seriously, I dont even drink coffee or much at starbucks at all because of the sugar content but it doesnt make my job any more bearabke to complain. Complainers are annoying. I can see your perspective, and Ill agree to disagree

comparing todd’s grande americano extra ice no water to a xenophobia/racism is a lil wild to me but idk

Okay but this is where we come to vent. If we're having a shit day, and someone wants to post a nasty drink to blow off a little steam then so be it.

And if you have a problem with it skip it or block it.
Liberalmuffin 7 points 1y ago
legit. this is the SAFEST spot to anonymously talk shit. like as a shift i gotta keep my cool in store, but here i’m releasing the inner shit
dayahorne 3 points 1y ago
Right and some of this stuff just takes us by surprise.

Cold Brew mixed with Lemonade. Caramel Machiattos w/ heavy cream and raspberry. Matcha with shots.

Some stuff just sound unreal and we have to share.

For real, I mean I enjoy laughing at a silly drink order but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna make it to the way they want it because they paid for it. I work with a few barista‘s who constantly judge and complain about making these type of drinks. But honestly I don’t mind them because it gets me something else to do while they’re too busy fucking around and or not doing their job correctly. In my opinion the amount of time that they spend messing around and judging drinks could be used to perfect their barista craft (keep in mind these barista‘s have been here longer than me) . Or at least that’s what I do,

Bad take. I have to make it either way. Someday a big order entertains me and other days it makes me wanna chug urnex. I’m gonna hand it to the customer with a smile either way doesn’t matter how much shit I talk behind their back.
quickthinxallthots 6 points 1y ago

Pale_Flower_1262 5 points 1y ago

Numerous_Alps6418 2 points 1y ago
Best comment by far 🙏🏼
navkabar 4 points 1y ago
it's not like i'm mean to people about it when they order, or while i'm making it. but if judging them in my head makes my shift easier, i'm gonna do it.

I’ll comment on a rather weird drink, but mostly because I like weird drinks myself ((dead espresso, Lemonade and espresso, matcha and peppermint syrup)) most of the ‘weird’ ones I’ll try and they’re actually good. Don’t knock someone’s drink till you try it
starryesque 1 points 1y ago
Sorry but if the drink is nasty or silly I will make fun of it. Not to the customers face, bc I’m not that mean. The comparison of laughing at another culture’s food is a far reach, getting 12 pumps of sugar in a refresher stuffed with 12 inclusions is no one’s culture. It’s just so crazy how people are ordering things they have no idea what they’re actually ordering and making my life harder by getting conflicting things in the same cup and screaming at me for it tasting like shit. It doesn’t mean I won’t make it for them or hand it off with a smile, but it also doesn’t absolve them from judgement.
