I’ve gotten one like this before and the guy who picked it up said, “excuse me this isn’t blended.” And I was like “idk what to tell you bro, blending it with no ice won’t do anything.” He just apologized and left.

Lol some people think no ice means mOrE dRiNk for every drink...including frappuccinos lol 😂

I rang up a javachip no ice no whip the other day… the customer was really upset that the cup wasnt full because “they fill it up in connecticut”

Was it just a bunch of chopped up chocolate pieces suspended in milk? 😭

I had a woman come in right after this and order an espresso macchiato “but add extra milk” so… a cappuccino?

Why don't Starbucks have those educational charts like these:

That would be too intelligent and make our lives too easy

Bc we're not earning our paychecks otherwise, right? /s
Apart_Tackle_629 [OP] 14 points 10m ago
We really should. I’ve seen dunkin have posters like this, except only with latte vs cap vs macchiato but it still helps
Necessary_Low939 6 points 10m ago
They’re too cheap to pay for a cap

I don’t understand why Starbucks allows that to be an option on the app.

Because they now charge for blending.

Ugh we had a regular who would constantly order extra hot americanos. I wanted to say something the first time, but a partner quickly shushed me. Later he told me the guy goes crazy whenever someone tries to tell him so just make it regular and pretend.

So many Starbucks customers are so very stupid.

We had a woman come in and ask us to do the same thing with a pineapple passion fruit and when I told her that it wasn’t really going to do anything for me to blend it she said “ oh I used to work at Starbucks and we did it all the time“
yirium 28 points 10m ago
Except the pineapple passion fruit is brand new wtf 😭😂

about a year ago, i had a regular-not-regular via Mobile for a Vanilla bean with no ice. We questioned her every time, to make sure, "You're aware a frap is blended with ice, and you want no ice?" Sure enough, she knew what she was asking, and left content. Sometimes, I wonder what people's mental process is.

At least with milk it will get nice and frothy? I used to love using a blender bottle to make strawberry milk for the frothy texture and it got rid of a lot of the grit, so vanilla bean powder and milk would be really smooth blended. But strawberry base and lemonade, without any strawberries? Not worth the 50 cents.

I feel like they probably went home and made one for themselves. Maybe they wanted it later or had something at home to add.

Bitch how?! HOW?! You know what? Some people don’t deserve to leave the house 😂
b__mo 7 points 10m ago
The common sense is strong with this one 🧐
jklmnopedy 1 points 10m ago
I'd even go one step further and say they can't interact with other people without supervision, at least as long as mobile and delivery are options.
geekgurl81 6 points 10m ago
The fact that they paid an up charge for it really gets me the most.
Ok-Responsibility735 3 points 10m ago
Is it evil that I really enjoy adding that charge? Im pretty chill about weird or extensive requests but I was traumatized a few yrs back when keto 1st started getting popular & every single morning during the busiest part of peak this woman would order a venti pike with 5 butters blended. After like 5 months of that drink every single day, she actually started looking extremely greasy. And she didn't appear to be losing any weight. Trying to peel open 5 pats of butter while trying not to kill our window times at the busiest time of the day pissed me off every single time. I would rather have a sticker so long it prints on a second one than make a blended 5 butter pike. Haven't seen her since early on in covid time.
geekgurl81 2 points 10m ago
I fully agree with this upcharge, honestly. It takes an actual chunk of the barista’s time to blend a drink.
Necessary_Low939 6 points 10m ago
I’d just stir it
mypoopoosmelly69 5 points 10m ago
So did you blend it..? 💀
Apart_Tackle_629 [OP] 6 points 10m ago
lmao yeah my coworker did, she was like “um…what should I do?” and I was like “fuck it dude, blend it” 💀 I just packed it up for the delivery
AAA_Morningstar 5 points 10m ago
I honestly have no words.. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Ok-Responsibility735 2 points 10m ago
Had someone try to order the brown sugar shaken espresso with no ice and they just stared at me when I asked if they wanted extra oat milk or was I just to leave a bunch of room since it was a venti? I finally just left the room because they said "I don't know, that's how I always order it and no one has ever asked me that before". They took it and left, so...okay? People confuse me.
floofxs2 1 points 10m ago
We got a mobile once of 5 no ice Frappuccinos… we are like either they’re obtuse or they’re going to blend them at home later so I said just make them with no ice that’s what they asked for 5 times. Of course the guy comes in with 4 kids and he’s standing there acting confused…. 🙄

They must really want a rouge Java chip floating in their juice 🧃
