had a customer being like "so i saw this on facebook... it's called an... elsa drink? and it's blue???"

maam that's fucking urnex

but i have had repeat incidents of people asking for butterbeer fraps. and i do generally know what they're looking for (usually its vbf, toffee nut and caramel, add caramel drizzle) but i won't make anything without a recipe because that is NOT something i want people to get comfortable ordering. you shouldn't expect to go order your harry potter and the legend of the nine dollar frappuccino without a recipe anywhere and you should be ashamed of yourself for even trying.

I had someone come and order the “squid game” frapp with no recipe… they didn’t understand why I was confused

Last year I had someone order the Sanderson Sister fraps and they truly believed that Sbux had partnered with Disney to make them. When she found out that they were just tiktok drinks she got so upset (not with us).

Someone ordered the “purple drink” and turns out it wasn’t a dragon drink, but had a tea that DOESNT EXIST and FRENCH VANILLA? Girl you’re at the wrong store. Ended up getting a shaken espresso 🤡

Still get asked for the unicorn frapp or the wanda and cosmo drink. Also the “halloween” fraps 🫠🫠

Call me an asshole but I will absolutely refuse to make those drinks. Too many times I’ve been yelled at and called ugly names cus I didn’t know what stupid fucking frappe they wanted

okay, i feel like everyone knows what the "cotton candy " frap is but i usually say "hmm we don't have that one on our menu, do you know the recipe?" because i don't want to normalize baristas knowing non menu drinks, And because green beans wont know as well, idk if they think im stupid. its you tell me the recipe or nothin.

Had a guy order a vanilla dragonfruit frappe and insist it was on the menu

"frankenfrappuccino" "lavender drink" maam what are you TALKING about??????!! also the "lavender drink" is a tiktok prank on the general public (and a punishment to baristas i guess). its literally fabuloso in a cup

I had a lady literally hold up the dt line because she was "looking up a drink on our secret menu".
My ssv was like ma'am that doesn't exist. She ended up not getting anything after sitting there for like 5 minutes.

someone literally asked for “the summer drink”

had a couple come to drive and order the "Wendy's Frappuccino" because they saw something about it and thought we would know how to exactly replicate a Wendy's freeze or whatever it is and we asked them what was in it because we don't have a drink by that name and they got mad we didn't know and when I asked them if they wanted something else they sat silently in the car and googled the drink without telling me that was what they were doing, then drove to the window and just showed me a picture of the drink still with no actual way for me to know what they really wanted. after holding up our line then coming inside to have me specifically help them figure out what they wanted, it ended up being a mocha Frappuccino with vanilla made with heavy cream.

I had someone order a “campfire mocha” today and I just told them that was made up and asked if they wanted a normal mocha.

This poor grandmother tried to order rainbow refreshers (for her young grandkids in the back who asked for it) had to tell her and the kids that the secret menu isn’t a real thing and we didn’t have anything to make a rainbow refresher
