Wonder if people ordering delivery know what they’re ordering (i.redd.it)

they want a triple tall w extra pumps without paying for the extra shots

junjoonie [OP] 43 points 10m ago

would you know off the top of your head how much they’ve saving? i feel with delivery’s price it would be a waste regardless

brokenleftjoycon 43 points 10m ago

There isn’t a price difference on the Starbucks app, but there could be a difference on UberEats because they will charge for each individual pumps of syrup, not just by how many different syrups you include.

junjoonie [OP] 37 points 10m ago

had free time so i checked, and it is a $3.65 difference so yeah it checks out

DasTeufelkind86 7 points 10m ago

I've always thought that was so dumb. I priced it at reg to see what my husband's drink would be, then priced it on the app and because he likes a lot of pumps of Sweetener, it came up to like 20 bucks including delivery fee.

i think in store there might be a difference tho bc i see that the app adjusts prices for shots so it doesn’t go over the price of a venti but idk if the register does that or not, so that might be how they order it in store normally for price reasons & didn’t realize it wouldn’t need to transfer over the same digitally

Make the drink in a tall cup, then place that drink+cup, inside of a venti cup

jeonzelink 14 points 10m ago

this is the way

mewwissa 18 points 10m ago

In my experience, this usually just means they want it in a venti cup. They just think “tall” means “large.” Just ignorant being ignorant.

mama_bibi 16 points 10m ago

I literally cross off the "in a ...." when it's a smaller cup. Like take a marker and cross it off and circle what size cup it's in at the top. Even for mobiles. I don't care anymore. It's been 5 years stop pushing buttons and pushing my buttons

also any other baristas here work in Austin tx? it was so incredibly slammed this weekend with nonstop orders

Texasgirl190 24 points 10m ago

I work in a tarbucks north of Austin and it was insane this weekend, our line was wrapped around the store and people were super rude too. I spilled a liter of black tea directly down my apron/shirt and someone was mad that I said “shit” as the pitcher fell on me 🙄 and then another guy who watched it all happen, knew I was making drinks while soaking wet while my coworkers helped me clean up the counters and floor, was tapping his foot and acting all pissy that I put whip cream on his frap 😩 sorry man I got bigger fish right now

Texasgirl190 10 points 10m ago

Sorry that rant just came out, but I wonder if it’s like a back to school rush somehow? Or maybe the rainy weather means more people coming out

IdLikeToBuyA-Vowel 6 points 10m ago

I say rainy weather, people always want that coffee and rain vibe but refuse to make their own coffee and then get pissed off when we can’t make it as fast as their basic keurig

junjoonie [OP] 10 points 10m ago

i remember a guy complaining to us that he could make coffee faster than the pour over we were making from him… when he clearly could see how busy lobby and drive through was, it’s just like- why can’t you then make your own?!

IdLikeToBuyA-Vowel 4 points 10m ago

Only my manager and one shift manager ever got on us for not whipping out the pour over, otherwise, nobody ever used it because of that exact reason. You want Starbucks specific flavor? Buy the damn beans then

junjoonie [OP] 4 points 10m ago

no worries! alongside the other two closers, i was so angry with how the shift went + how bad of a handoff we were given. we didn’t get out until 11 when we closed at 9 :(
I’m a little south of central austin, in between the two major in universities essentially, which move in and classes beginning must have surely added to the rush. Austin’s pride parade also was this Saturday so I would assume some people came into town for that and it added to the business- overall i’m so exhausted from this weekend ahah

DasTeufelkind86 1 points 10m ago

Oh god, you said "in between universities" and I had flashbacks to my first store, the one at the end of Greek Row at USC. There were also a charter school, high school AND middle school within walking distance, but until right before I left that store, we were the only DT store. Then they made a new one legitimately 2 blocks down on the other side of the street because we couldn't handle the cars wrapped around our building constantly.

rlogranite 1 points 10m ago

No worries, you can rant anytime. I feel your pain

sanavrse 2 points 10m ago

yes omfg i work(ed) at the now closed location downtown for this weekends pride and it was insanity

capsule_of_anxiety1 8 points 10m ago

Imma just ignore that dumb “in a tall cup” line I didn’t see there no way is that fitting lol

Hazel_is_Trans 5 points 10m ago

2 tall lattee with vanilla sweet cream and I'm guessing Carmel in the foam

RudeEstimate2245 2 points 10m ago

I- in a tall cup 🤦🏻‍♀️

Necessary_Low939 2 points 10m ago

I don’t play their games. I just give them a venti cup

nathanwp07 1 points 10m ago

I think the customer was maybe trying to remember the name of the extra large and was like "Tall?, Yeah the cup us very tall" and clicked that🤣

SufficientAd1197 1 points 10m ago
