this guy has his name as “the cat” and when you tell him to have a good day he meows at you. (i.redd.it)

can you imagine explaining this to a green bean during bar training 😭 “oh by the way….there’s a guy we should warn you about”

olivinemultichrome 135 points 11m ago

I’d take cat guy over the old guy who would grab my hand every time I handed him something.

BatWeary 132 points 11m ago

i’d take cat guy over 90% of my regulars

Responsible_Snow7109 69 points 11m ago

My first day register (2 days ago) this Asian guy comes up with a thick accent, quiet voice, mask, and plexiglass, and says “You Iced Coffee”. I say “okay and iced coffe, do you want any milk with that?” And he gets angry and turns around and leaves.

His name is Yu and he can’t speak English and gets iced coffe with almond and Splenda. My b Yu, my b.

HiiAlberta 2 points 11m ago

Tbf thats on him for not getting your new

caligirlthrowaway104 9 points 11m ago

But he orders an easy drink so we let it slide 😂

Anon31780 149 points 11m ago

Instead of saying hi to him, I’d go with “meowdy,” which is how I greet my cats each time I come home from work.

we have a guy that meows at us too!! and he puts his hands up like paws when he’s asking for something, it’s so strange, i wonder if it’s the same guy. he’s just living his best life i guess lol

accountedthrowaway5 109 points 11m ago

idk how I’d feel about that if i were you 😭

God bless your patience

swagoutcybrriot 43 points 11m ago

a cat would drink an iced chai so it holds up

lilkiosk 28 points 11m ago

Asked my cats. They confirmed.

pinkjortz 33 points 11m ago

New kind of guy just dropped. I love and appreciate his existence.

strawbrryshrtcke 30 points 11m ago

bark back

PandaVike 27 points 11m ago

Where’s the person who draws cats on sleeves for this one

heartashley 21 points 11m ago

Better than the lady yelling at me at 6am because we had no salt topping 😂

mewwissa 17 points 11m ago

Is this a kink 😭🤣

Snarfungus 9 points 11m ago

i mean maybe?? but i’ve found some people just enjoy identifying with/and or as animals without the main purpose being a kink

_vannahloo_ 14 points 11m ago

Ngl, kind of love it… as long as he just does a simple smile, meow, and walk away. Just don’t make it weird lol

BadgercIops 14 points 11m ago

maybe the reason his name is "the cat" is because he is actually a she, who is really a cat, who is a con artist selling useless items and knows about the train conductor

dakokopuffs 12 points 11m ago

this would literally make my day. i'd probably meow at him too

but why that sticker placement tho 😭😭😭

floofxs2 1 points 11m ago

That sticker makes me want to cry too. It’s so twitch inducing.

awesomechief989 11 points 11m ago

Honestly most of these comments are gross, what’d they do to you? It’s just a name

laughin_neon 11 points 11m ago

It sounds so cute and fun! This person hasn’t harmed anybody or done anything weird and everyone’s acting like they’re meowing and hissing at people in the lobby or knocking over mobile order drinks like? Live a little! Play pretend. Be a lil silly.

frankenstein105 10 points 11m ago

i too have my own cat, except he likes to take pictures of our younger baristas and is a general creep 🫠

he said
I got money in my kitty *meow* when I was ringing him up🫠😭

baekexact [OP] 8 points 11m ago

i wanna note that he was very polite and it made my shift a bit more interesting. no disrespect to him, he was a lot nicer than the old men that yell at me when i say their venti dark is going to take an extra minute so we can brew more.

owo-bitch 3 points 11m ago

if youre comfortable sharing, what area is this starbucks in? he sounds like a guy i knew in high school lmao

yyz_barista 7 points 11m ago

I'm a sucker for animal noises (and apparently like a 2 year old). I had a fellow partner who would "Meow" when she was passing behind you, I feel like they'd get along well.

CampusCarsandCoffee 2 points 11m ago

I’m a partner who involuntarily meows at people. It’s a reflex at this point.

mylilyaurora 7 points 11m ago

I unironically love this

Emarie2200 6 points 11m ago

I’d k!ll to have him as a regular. Hand him over 😭

Minute-General-2090 5 points 11m ago

I would much take a guy meowing at me over a n old fart yelling at me for not making his mocha hotter than the sun.

floofxs2 5 points 11m ago

We had a couple regulars who used their pet’s names as their mobile name. Shadow and spot.

mrbubblegxm 5 points 11m ago

at least it’s a chai

Jfostr0 3 points 11m ago

At least he doesn’t come in and just knock the drink off the pick up station.

Munrowo 3 points 11m ago

we all have out quirky regulars, some quirkier than others

philosopher_cat_lady 3 points 11m ago

I love this man

AndrewSaidThis 3 points 11m ago

…. Is that an incident report?

ghost_in_the_sun 3 points 11m ago

Have a good day, meow.

RevolutionaryEbb9352 3 points 11m ago

we have a “ThisIsSparta” and “MuffinMan”, which are fine, but not nearly as bad as the lady who orders her drink in the 3rd person under the name “mommy”. ex: mommy wants 9 pumps of chai in her drink. gotta call it out when her order is up too

t3llm3m0re 3 points 11m ago

I can respect this

Cat shifter living his best life.

marilynmansonsbitch 2 points 11m ago

i want him to come to my store

7brooms 2 points 11m ago

Least he doesn’t ignore you!

Kitty_Queenx 2 points 11m ago

I approve.

sh3nan1gans_ 2 points 11m ago

Does he wear cat ears too. Now that would be funny

randompersonvi 2 points 11m ago

Ayo 😳

dessunflower 1 points 10m ago

oh my…that’s funny lolz

Gilofthemushroomfolk 1 points 11m ago

"On all levels except physical, I am a cat"

heartbreakhigh 1 points 11m ago

lol I also have a regular that always comes in as we're still opening and will sit there meowing all through peak until he finally leaves around 9. sometimes I wanna bark at him but im worried he'd like it

elinor435 1 points 11m ago

i like that

AdIll7946 1 points 11m ago

This tracks for lots of pet players I know. Had a friend who identified as a cat as well and this would be very on par for her lmao. Respectful, unique people are dope!

[deleted] 1 points 11m ago

But does he have a hat though?

Flat-Whereas3075 1 points 11m ago

I mean, it’s a little weird. Could be fun, could be awful. Time will tell!
