Because that's what you ordered. If you want it filled to the top then you need to order a latte and you will be charged more. Tik Tok lied to you.

Trying to not pay for oatmilk thru mobile ain't happening.

We have a standard for how we make the iced espressos, and we use the lines on the side of the cup for milk. If you want it filled higher, you'll have to order a latte

edit: spelling

They did what you ordered: two shots, six pumps of syrup, 1/2 inch of oatmilk. If you want the milk filled to the top you'll have to order a latte. Honestly this is filled higher than I'd have done, especially since we have customers who do actually want just a 1/2 inch of milk because they enjoy doppios.

Pay for what you want 🤷🏽‍♀️
They did this correctly.
mypoopoosmelly69 12 points 11m ago
they gave op a loot more oatmilk than what they shouldve gotten ngl 💀
First_Leather_1159 8 points 11m ago
No fr!! Granted it’s a lot of ice but it’s still too much LMFAO
Fuzzy-Cheesecake7788 2 points 11m ago
yeah im not complaining i just have never seen anything like this before so i figured i’d ask this sub! thanks you guys :)
badbaristuh 12 points 11m ago
because you ordered 1/2” of oatmilk, like it says on the label. Looks like they gave you well over that. You can order a venti iced latte, oatmilk, 2 shots, and cinnamon dolce syrup.
Necessary_Low939 1 points 11m ago
Three shots for venti iced lattes if they gonna drink a latte
badbaristuh 4 points 11m ago
they originally ordered a doppio espresso, I’m assuming they only want the two shots, in which case they would need to specify that.
Necessary_Low939 1 points 11m ago
Ok.
mypoopoosmelly69 11 points 11m ago
mofkas will do anything but order an iced latte💀💀💀💀
acnh1222 10 points 11m ago
If you want it filled to the top, order a venti iced latte with two shots (if you want two instead of the three that comes in a venti?), with cinnamon dolce syrup and oat milk. Or, a venti iced cinnamon dolce oat milk latte if you want it with whipped cream and cinnamon-sugar topping

No matter how many different ways you make it, 2 shots of espresso, 1/2” of oatmilk, 6 pumps of syrup, and ice is never going to fill up a venti cup.

It’s just like trying to make a ten foot square blanket with two feet of material. No matter how many ways you cut it up and rearrange it and sew it back together it just isn’t going to be ten feet wide.

They gave you more milk than they should have. Order an iced latte.
Fuzzy-Cheesecake7788 1 points 11m ago
thank you!
Necessary_Low939 4 points 11m ago
If u want it filled to top, order an iced latte or shaken iced espresso and modify it.

If u still wanna be cheap, you can add a bunch of different kinds of milk to get it filled to the top or add water then filled to the top.
jams1015 6 points 11m ago
They don't get extra of all the types of milk just by ordering that way, and when people do that, I get even stingier with my milk pours, lol. They get up to 4oz TOTAL of milk free. If they want some mutt milk concoction to reach their 4oz TOTAL, more power to 'em. They still get just 4oz.
Necessary_Low939 2 points 11m ago
If I had taken a pic of this lady’s cup… she wanted EX OAT, EX SOY, EX 2%, EX WHOLE in a venti up and all that does filled to the top. It’s the fcken app. If it’s a cafe order I’ll be like maam don’t be a cheap ass
HamburgIar_ 2 points 11m ago
If you order multiple milks, I will give you the normal amount of milk and split it between the different types you order.
throwaway1209340987 1 points 11m ago
Yep, this is the standard!
Necessary_Low939 1 points 11m ago
I don’t wanna be bothered with them saying it’s not enough. It’s really the apps problem. However if they try to argue with me to give them an iced latte over a fcken iced espresso I’ll tell them no. If u cheap, don’t go to Starbucks. That’s all.
vietlazed 2 points 11m ago
That is too much works 😩😩
Necessary_Low939 1 points 11m ago
It is but cheap people will get what they want in the end right? I had someone do that. ask for a bunch of different milk to make an iced latte, mobile order. She was alrdy over here. I proceed to laugh at her drink with people before handing it off. Yes she saw me. No I don’t care.

Just order a latte. TikTok is bs. Stop ordering shit like this.
Fuzzy-Cheesecake7788 1 points 11m ago
tik tok? im not sure where you got that from but i didn’t get this from there lol
uwumoment 3 points 11m ago
we don’t fill iced espresso up to the top. we only do that for shaken espressos, if you really want more milk order it as a latte.

idk how it’s so hard to understand that iced espressos are espresso shots and ice, it doesn’t fill the top. espresso is usually just 2 ounces of liquid for 2 shots, so it’s not going to fill up a whole 26 ounce cup even with the ice displacement. after 4 ounces of milk we have to charge, so in a vent cup it would be 2-6 ounces of liquid + the ice, so it won’t be filled all the way. even with syrup, 6 pumps would be about 3 ounces.

a venti iced cinnamon dolce latte has 3 shots, 6 pumps cinnamon dolce, milk, and ice, so order it this way and just ask for no whip and oatmilk.
uwumoment 3 points 11m ago
this just aggravates me soooo much because it’s always the people on tik tok that undermine our job and make us look like we can’t do it right. but these posts that have been on here recently really prove that customers don’t understand our jobs at all and don’t get that standards have been implemented for a lot of drink recipes. the iced espresso is literally ABOUT the ESPRESSO, so we aren’t going to fill it all the way because that’s it’s entire purpose! a latte is mainly milk, so if you want mostly milk then order it how you’re supposed to order it.
Fuzzy-Cheesecake7788 -1 points 11m ago
i’m not acting like you can’t do your job.. i haven’t ordered from starbucks in years so i was genuinely curious on why it was like this.. it’s not that serious lol
uwumoment 2 points 11m ago
im not saying you are. this trend of people not knowing what they’re ordering and acting like “why did they do this” makes me annoyed. it’s unfair to baristas who are doing their job correctly
Glittering-Office-36 3 points 11m ago
because that’s what you ordered? “in a venti cup”doesn’t cost money why would we give you the venti amount? whoever told you this “hack” didn’t know what they were talking about 😅
vietlazed -8 points 11m ago
Make friend with all your baristas. That an easy order and I see you want save money. I don’t care fill up when it come to an customer that care for barista. And order in store
