Man, i dont go to starbucks but i work as a bartender. And all yall problems are mine. I love you all. Idk how you do this at 8am.
yaaasqueenie24 points11m ago
Try 5:30/6am, it's even worse 😭 but I don't know how you do this with drunk people!
zarjazz15 points11m ago
Omg. People at 5am are the worst. I worked at Dunkin in my teen years and the ppl, esp men and middle aged ladies, that showed up at 5 or 6am were all "you need to smile before i put in my order. If you dont smile i cant put in my order" like ......its 5 fucking am, im 16 and im starting my shift for 5.50an hour before i go to school. Please just tell what you want. Why do i have to parade around for you? You all have my heart so much. Every post on this sub hurts my brain.
breeeeeeeeee37 points11m ago
Nah cuz I would’ve been like “oh, I’m not going to smile today, so I guess no order for you! Have a great day 🥰”
Torirock10 [OP]17 points11m ago
yeah it’s even funnier happening at like 8:50 pm cuz i’m just like… gurl we close soon can u hurry it up
sirencursedwithrage3 points11m ago

I had someone try to order a drink from a photo on their phone once and they kept bringing it back saying it was wrong. Turns out they thought the name on the cup (Marsha) meant the drink had MATCHA 🙃🙃🙃

CAN I GET A CARAMEL COOKIE CHIP FRAPPE
mcdonaldspriteremix1 points11m ago
NO LITERALLY WHY DO THEY ALWAYS COMBINE THEM AND IDK HOW TO TELL THEM THEY'RE SEPERATE DRINKS😭
th3_thing9 points11m ago
Whenever they mess up and they catch themselves, I always try to make them feel better by reminding them they didn't have the coffee yet. A human without coffee is a car without gas

We had the old pastry case with the rounded front. I had a person think it was a help yourself type thing. He opened the entire pastry case from the front, knocking down whatever was on top.
Torirock10 [OP]1 points11m ago
idk why you would even want that old food
Torirock10 [OP]1 points11m ago
omg
clouds1838 points11m ago
I’ve thought about just giving out a large whole vanilla bean stick for the ones that say “tall vanilla bean” and thats it
Marinseya7 points11m ago
I genuinely think, most of the time, things like that are a slip of the tongue lol. They aren't put here saying this shit all day every day like us!! Same with mangen/Meagan dragonfruit! I've accidentally said shit like that before
I once had a partner say birthday cake cock instead of birthday cake pop, happens to the best of us.
isntrio5 points11m ago
someone asked for a caramel mojito the other day and i just about lost it
mahimaggarwal5 points11m ago
IM DEAD💀💀
jondgul4 points11m ago
People are idiots. That's part of why I no longer work for Starbucks. I just can't do retail anymore. 20 years of it has taken its toll. I have zero patience for tom foolery from the general public because of it.

“I know you guys have something like the sour cream cold brew…?” I was trying not to burst out laughing while on bar.
lily-amber3 points11m ago
Yes my coworkers and I will do our own renditions of messed up words such as : Cannibal machete Cannon ball machine Flamin hot macheeto Crappucino Bacon (back-un) gourduh Bacon grey egg bites And so on. It’s so ridiculous.

cookielicious152 points11m ago
someone told me they wanted a mango dragonfruit with lemonade but without lemonade, "so just a regular mango dragonfruit with water?" "yeah that!" 😵💫
iindiieecindiee2 points11m ago
I had a lady the other day who kept saying she wanted a mango dragon fruit in a cali size! I asked her to repeat the size because maybe I misheard and she goes and talks even slower as if I’m stupid and says “mango…dragon fruit….cali sized” so I’m thinking of okay it wasn’t me. I tell her that there is no such thing and maybe she means a trenta? And she starts to get upset and says no she wanted a cali sized because that’s what’s it says on the board. I said “ma’am, that C A L means calories!” And she thought it was just so funny. She wasted like 5 mins of my drive times with her dumbass
Torirock10 [OP]1 points11m ago
💀 ik some ppl say “cali style” to mean caramel all around the inside of the cup but like LMFAO
Victoriamarie032 points11m ago
Some wife daughter husband triple came in my drive and had the poor dad/husband say “can I get a grande pinkity drinkity” like dead serious and you can hear the girls crack up in the back like they had just done the funniest shit ever…. He gets to the window and then asks me if that’s how you say it… “no, just a pink drink”💀
Torirock10 [OP]1 points11m ago
lmaoo that’s sweet though
tatu-lasair2 points11m ago

floatingizzy2 points11m ago

floatingizzy1 points11m ago

xclariss3 points11m ago
latte machiato is actual a discontinued drink… jts basically a caramel macchiato with no syrups/sugar…. but it was hardly ever ordered
Marinseya2 points11m ago
I used to have a regular who ordered one almost daily, I remember having to break the news to him. My deepest apologies bob 👊😔
Torirock10 [OP]2 points11m ago
i mean you could’ve still made it though
floatingizzy1 points11m ago
omg that’s embarrassing 🙈 wouldn’t you just order a macchiato?
DustyPhoenixCosplay1 points11m ago
F for Bob 🥺❤️🩹
yeeet-haw-baybee2 points11m ago
nah the best part is i had a regular who would slip up “carmen ribbon crunch” every single time aND HER OWN FUCKING NAME IS CARMEN 🥲😭

I try to be sympathetic because you never know if someone has dyslexia or some other issue that makes it hard to read and/or speak.
Marinseya0 points11m ago
Right!! Like, I don't care if they mispronounce it, as long as I can figure out what to type in, it doesn't make a difference.
Torirock10 [OP]-2 points11m ago
yeah i’m dyslexic so i don’t know that caramel exists
