submitted by Accomplished_Past_10
1. Customers reloading their giftcard at the window
2. they always order a bunch of water at the window
3. When you read over their drink at the box and say “iced” and they say yes, but at the window they say “I wanted this hot..”
4. Counting all their change one by one at the window…and then give me a bunch of coins..
5. Older men thinking us asking them how their day went/any plans after/connecting is us flirting.. ive had way too many men hit on me bc of this

Im so petty lol

Customers just do not listen. The amount of times I've read their orders back to them and then they said Yup that's me so I give them their drink and they're like this was supposed to be a venti or this was supposed to be hot and I'm like... leave.

Sometimes its an honest mistake, and our store usually gives the mistake drink back to the customer if they want it. But if I know deep down ur saying that cuz we give the other for free, Im not offering it!

Oh yeah. And it's so obvious sometimes. At this point some ppl try this for free drinks so our shift has learned to recognize them and simply rings them up again. They change their order real quick 😂

Based on the number of times the customer would ask to have the error drink, I just got to the point that I’d offer it to the next car/customer. If they “noticed” the error after they had true drink and asked to keep it, I’d only let them keep it if They’d paid for it.

I once overheard the customer talking after they had pulled forward just a bit. They’d ordered a hot drink, but told their friend in the car they’d get them a free one by claiming they wanted it iced at the window. No free drinks for them…

Wow really? That person has quite some nerve. I mean they probably thought you couldn’t hear them anymore since they pulled up but still
