Bruh I’ve had people order like 7 packs of raw sugar in a tall pike. It’s just crunchy coffee.

I had a coworker warn a customer that the 20 packets she wanted in her grande pike wouldn’t dissolve and she looked them dead in the eyes and said “I like it crunchy”.

Lol that actually kinda makes me respect them.

There comes a time when I just give them the packets

When I worked at McDonald's as a 16 year old there was a lady that came every day, sometimes more than once a day, to get a large hot coffee with 10 creams and 10 sugars. Still wonder about her sometimes

I'll never understand people who do sugar replacements and get 12+ packets bro....like. just stop drinking these things I understand having a need for a stimulant but this? Isn't helping whatever dietary restrictions or issues avoiding 'sugar'......I'm waiting for sbux to give us just straight dispensers for these im sovtired of tearing open dozens of packets of this crap lol

i have a homeless man who comes in sometimes who gets a tall pike with 10 sugars. one time he came in twice in one day! we have a homelessness problem in my city (especially around where my store is) and ive noticed a lot of them go for a lot of sweetness (3+ sugars, lots of cream, honey in addition to sugar, frappucinos if they have enough, syrup pumps in regular coffee) i think its a cheaper way to get lots of calories, and a lot of them have a sweet tooth besides. Obv some people just have crazy sweet tooths lol, just something ive noticed at my store!

SyerenGM 3 points 11m ago
I had one cx that did 15 sugars, a mix of 3 different kinds, +2 classic and I just don't get it.
labraydon7 2 points 11m ago
Almost daily we get a mobile order with 2 venti lattes with 12 Splenda each

As a store that has a sticker machine I am so confused on wtf is this drink? Sweet cream cold foam cold brew? Splash of b? What’s b? Butter? I’ve had a guy ask for butter in his Frappuccino so I wouldn’t be surprised
_hippocat 4 points 11m ago
Breve I’m assuming
Zealousideal-Star448 2 points 11m ago
Breve is just fancy for a lot of 1/2 so to have a splash makes my Brain hurt more
Fragrant-Pound-9675 3 points 11m ago
Salted Carmel cream cold brew is what I’m assuming it is
cshluke [OP] 2 points 11m ago
hahahahaha so this is a Salted caramel cream cold brew with a splash of cream, caramel drizzle, and 10 splenda
Vilali 0 points 11m ago
One time we had this woman come in who ordered something similar. A partner said something and she heard. Turns out it was the only way she could take some of her chemo meds without puking because of the taste.
cshluke [OP] 1 points 11m ago
that is so sad

ez B

10 spl, CR

SCCCB


CR in the custom box means caramel drizzle. Show your POS person more efficient markings, save some time. Could have have had like 6 of the Splenda packets open by the time they finished spelling everything out
escapedsober 2 points 1y ago
you would still spend the same amount of time making the drink? regardless of how long the barista took to write this, which was probably 15 seconds more, the drink would take the same amount of time lol
SavannaHeat -16 points 1y ago
Is Splenda even bad for you? I thought it was a healthier alternative to regular cane sugar. Also, I’ll never understand why y’all literally pull out your phone just to take a picture of someone’s drink to post it on reddit (why is your phone out when you’re supposed to be working?). I hope the customers don’t see when you do it. I get you need to vent or blow off steam considering it’s a stressful job, but idk, it’s just kind of weird. Maybe that’s just me though.
purpleelephant77 5 points 1y ago
It’s not unhealthy it’s just a ton of sweetener to add to an already sweetened drink.
avcats -1 points 11m ago
I feel the same tbh lol sure I’ll see some things that make me look twice, but what should I care what someone else is drinking enough to take a picture. The shaming from partners is not a good look 🤷🏻‍♀️
