"it tastes a little funny..." (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by turtleben248
HEY. HEY YOU THERE. This drink... it tastes a little... off. Ugh I'm so sorry to be a bother. It's just... it tastes a teeny tiny bit... weird. A little kooky. Could you 🥺😳🥺 ... could you..😫😄😍.. remake this?

i hate when people do this and then when i go to dump out their old drink they insist on keeping it… like i know exactly what you’re trying to do 😭
Necessary_Low939 108 points 11m ago
I don’t remake it if they don’t return it
Victoriamarie03 20 points 11m ago
That part 👍🏽

this is so weird to me -- i ALWAYS let them keep the other drink. im just gonna toss it anyway, and i am not the police, i dont care to vet whether or not someone just wanted a second drink. it's none of my business, and starbucks is not going to miss the money.
Necessary_Low939 23 points 11m ago
If they’re nice I’ll let them keep it but when they insist on keep it, what is that telling u? They trying to skip out on paying and make it a habit

once again, i literally dont care
i am not the police

THATS SO ANNOYING
Danny_z64 13 points 11m ago
Uh...you have them throw it out cause of co-\/Id. We're not suppose to take stuff back....
hotcheetomamii 27 points 11m ago
my store hasn’t had that rule for awhile, covid cases are very low here so restrictions are looser. we also don’t want people throwing away full cups of liquid in the cafe garbage, just creates a mess
Danny_z64 1 points 11m ago
First off, happy birthday
Second
It's not a store by store thing, it's a starbux thing. A corporate thing. Covid is still a thing. I just got done having 3 or 4 40+ hour weeks cause either my ssvs were out or we needed coverage no one else wanted to pick up.
Covid cases are still a thing but thankfully most of the country is vexed and it's not as bad as it was.
3rd, most importantly
Happy birthday

What are they trying to do?
Necessary_Low939 31 points 11m ago
They want both drinks, so a free drink

Most of the time it is irritating. But I can’t blame these two customers today. They came from a different store. It was two venti matcha green tea lattes. One with vanilla foam. They had the drink and sticker still on, barely touched and apologized deeply since they came from a different store. The driver was like it just tastes bland and off. I look at the bottom and there was AN INCH OF MATCHA CLUMP in both cups and the drink was quite a pale green more than usually, and I’m like oh my gosh yeah we will totally re do that for you. Gave both to her and she did tip us a lot for the trouble. But yeah even I was like oooo that’s nasty.

Oh man lol

I made a frap once and this woman just goes "this tastes like ice" and im like "ok" ..
flamingavocados 11 points 11m ago
I made a dbl choclaty chip frap and was told it tasted “like tea.” Made it the same way and the customer was fine afterwards

HAAA
Sovarein 13 points 11m ago
As a green bean I can say I have made a few drinks with alternative milk and I forget to shake the carton, especially when it’s new. It can definitely make it taste funky 😅 but that’s my bad.
YdubsTheFirst 7 points 11m ago
the worst one is almond milk, it's basically almond water if you don't shake it first 😭

for free!!
normaldud 6 points 11m ago
The worst is when they say it “looks different” and won’t try it until you remake it
ItsAWildFelix 3 points 11m ago
It’s the people who drink half of it, come up, ask for a new one because it “was made the wrong way.” or “Doesn’t taste right.”
Like you fully just drank it, expecting me to believe you.
menagerieflower 1 points 11m ago
bro this one older lady did this to me and my coworker and im pretty sure she just had covid because the cold brew was fresh and DELICIOUS
RubySapphireSage 1 points 11m ago
Ugh I hate the baby voice they do it’s so weird especially if you’re a grown man / woman 😂
turtleben248 [OP] 1 points 11m ago
If a customer did a baby voice with me I would lose my mind 🤣🤣
littleorphananney 1 points 11m ago
One of my regulars thought her chai tasted off and asked me to remake it. So sure enough I did. Then she said it still tasted off, had a very obvious internal freak out, then left us a $20 tip and rushed out of the store. We’re all pretty sure she thought she had Covid but luckily that was not the case 😂
turtleben248 [OP] 1 points 11m ago
Oh man...

Taste is a weird thing, I often find the same foods will taste slightly different to me sometimes.

Today this lady took a sip of her frap and said it’s too watery, even tho the consistency is correct. I just put that shit back in the blender and added more ice. No ma’am I ain’t making u another one when I have drinks. I washed the blender don’t worry
wormybabybabu 49 points 11m ago
Plz tell me you didn't actually put a drink that a customer *drank* out of into a blender that you use for other drinks.
Necessary_Low939 -37 points 11m ago
If u read, I wash the blender (sanitize)
Danny_z64 26 points 11m ago
Yeah but...eww
CourageousSiren69 1 points 11m ago
this is one of the many reasons I dont drink fraps.
royalscandal 39 points 11m ago
Isn't just remaking the drink easier than potentially taking a blender out, having to go wash and sanitize it, then going back...? That doesn't sound realistic and I find it hard to believe you didn't just keep using it.
