Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Can we make a petition or something to limit the amount of drinks someone can order in drive? (self.starbucksbaristas)

So yesterday was rough at my store. We had a long line of cars (typical Saturday and nothing out of the ordinary for my store) but we were struggling. My manager told everyone to make sure we’re not batching fraps since our DM has been cracking down on things being made to standard, but I almost lost my cool. Our DM doesn’t see how many drinks we have and doing each frap one by one will make our drive times insanely long.
Even today I had someone order at least 7 drinks - 5 of which were all the same frap and we had to do each one separately. My time was looking really good until that order set us back a bit.

fuck your manager and the dm omg. i cannot imagine having to make 5 of the same fraps for one order because of bullshit standard that doesn’t match up with reality. sorry you had to go through that

The batching issue makes no sense to me. If i measures out correctly, why does it matter if they blend together? That's honestly how professional cooks and bakers and bartenders perform their job tasks quickly and efficiently. Need to 24 cookies but the recipe is only for 12? Double it. Bake together. 3 lemon drop drops? Triple it. The bux needs to chill with the times of they gonna be on us for using math!

As a baker I definitely agree with your statement

Starbucks will never tell a customer, "I'm sorry, but you need to spend less money."

We also only have 2 blenders lol. I mean at this point, to get the line going is to have an assembly to put ingredients etc.

I agree, there should be both a drink limit and a food limit- had someone the other day get like 5 drinks and 10+ food items, mostly sandwiches

There’s this one guy that comes in our drive thru almost every day and orders almost 10 food items and no drinks. He’s a really nice guy though

I would cry, not gonna lie
I'm at a travel location so it's always vans and rv's full of families getting full blown meals, when there's a taco bell and subway next door lol

Somebody asked the other day if we sell breakfast burritos (besides the sausage wrap) but there’s literally a knock off Taco Bell two doors down ☠️
