The small number of men whose masculinity is threatened by coffee is very funny. There's the guys who order frappuccinos or something who will make sure to tell me that "this is for the wife, I don't even know what it is", and then there's the guys who order with an exaggerated performative incompetence. "She wanted me to get... I think it's called a white.... mocha? Am I saying that right? Is that a real thing?" Like ok dude let's just get on with it.

The next time someone asks me if I want cream/sugar in my coffee imma say hell yaaaas baby I’m GAY

Or the people that say "just black" then get it and actually did want cream and sugar.

The thing these men don’t get is that (anecdotally, from my experience working at a store with almost entirely female partners and being female myself) it’s actually way more attractive/“masculine” to just have the confidence to order whatever you/she likes. We had a guy we called Pink Drink Guy who would come through DT and order a Pink Drink for himself and the way he said it in a cool baritone had us blushing and pretending to swoon like it was a tv teen soap 😂 he knew what he liked and no one was gonna make him feel bad about it! majorly attractive imho

yes!!!! and then there’s some people who walk up and I can *predict* that they’re about to order a cold brew with nothing in it

Make him say Pinkety Drinkety

It’s ridiculous . We are not mind readers.

one time one of my ssv was taking a front order and asked a man if he wanted his blueberry scone warmed to which the man replied “no i’m american”

When manly men order pink drinks I try my hardest to convince them it’s called a pinkity Drinkity

when i notice a customer is uncomfortable ordering something i do my best to make them comfortable! i put on my “dude” voice and hype up all the ingredients. i swap “pink” out for “berry”, and explain what “frappuccino” means…i feel like some men have been gatekept from coffee. i want to include them, and they always smile after :)

Yes! Something similar to this a guy came in my drive and asked if we had any man drinks. I like dis not say anything for an uncomfortable amount of seconds and everyone on the headset was making faces because we were just like “really??” And my response was “I don’t understand you’re question because none of our drinks are gendered”. Tf like what? Ugh dude just get a pink drink and shut up, no on cares -__-

I would’ve responded with “oh I’m sorry, did you want any cream or sugar, sir?”

one time a guy on DT said “this is going to sound fruity but i swear it’s not for me” and proceeded to order a venti iced white mocha with vscf and caramel drizzle… sir……..

we have this group of men called pike men that come in 30 mins before close, they ask for a shit load of sugar on the side everytime and steamed cream on the side as well, so idk why it’s a stereotype that men don’t like that in their coffee

We get all types of bad customers. And in my opinion this one ain’t too bad. Better than those who didn’t even pay yet and start yelling how they want their drinks to be made
