I just say “I was only blessed with two hands! I’ll be with you in a minute!” You have to say with a smile on your face.

"Hi! I'll be right with you."
That's literally all you have to say.

I know it sounds simple but some people will keep ordering after you’ve said that about three or four times

At that point I just act like I didn't hear them (usually I genuinely don't catch what they say) and, when I'm able to help them, I'll be like "Okay! So what can I get started for you today?" And they either realize their mistake, or they act like they're the only person in the world and choose to be offended 💁

There's nothing you can do with those people.

This makes me irrationally pissed.

It isnt even irrationally mad honestly the audacity to completely ignore the HIMAN BEING BEHID. THE COUTNER TALING TO YOU is astounding these people are closer to running npcs than people most times the way they come in to spit out their order and will not deviate off their 'programing' they really will not acknowledge ther you've just told them to wait much less notice you are in the middle of another task

I bet they’re actually nicer to NPCs

“Sorry, we don’t take orders at the bar. The register is over there.”
Supperdudehasrabies [OP]2 points11m ago
The amount of sass in this one is palpable

You have to wait
newday20018 points11m ago
(if u haven’t already greeted them) Hi, welcome! I’ll be ready to take your order shortly, thank you so much for waiting :)

My coworkers have started cutting people off and telling them it'll be a minute, because they just don't listen

once had a guy walk up to the little glass separator behind the espresso machines and start ordering while i was clearly making a drink. there was someone at reg already who was taking someone else’s order. past me just dropped what i was doing to ring him up. present me would’ve told him to wait until the barista on reg finished ringing up the customer and to get in line. it still enrages me to this day. like i’m clearly not at reg. if you have to stand on your tiptoes to look at me over the separator and you see espresso machines and syrups, obviously you’re in the wrong place bud.
