Strange drink requests (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by scrtlyclyps
I'm curious, what are some strange drinks y'all have been asked to make recently. I think my personal favourite I got today was a hot MCC. (She then proceeded to get mad when I made her a hot mocha with cookie crumbles. She... kept explaining what she wanted and what she was saying was a mocha with cookie crumbles 😭)

Weirdest I had was a hot chai add brown sugar syrup...add cold foam

I confirmed cold for on a hot drink, they said ok

Really the cold foam is being added to so many drinks and it confuses me what people will try it with
Impressive_Yellow_86 10 points 9m ago
The fact ppl add it to a frap and then ask for whip cream on top.

adding it to a hot drink changes the texture and i think it’s really good. cold foam on a frappuccino… why 😭

There is someone who has come in everyday for the past 2 weeks and gotten this drink at peak in the drive thru:

Mango Dragonfruit lemonade
Light ice
3x strawberries
3x dragonfruit
Strawberry puree
2x blended
Vanilla bean powder
Sf vanilla syrup
W/creme base
Add whip

Since there's no way that I'm aware of to account for the use of the creme base, this drink needs to be rung in as a frappuccino or blended strawberry lemonade for inventory purposes. That ought to stop them from continuing to order this shit, as the price will jump once it's rung in properly.

shot of expresso in lemonade.
CVS receipts with 20 + syrup pumps that don’t even sound good together.
Iced matcha latte with salted caramel foam.

Paradise drink w/ chocolate foam.
Refreshers made with water with vanilla foam.
I could go on

honest to god, this is one of my fav drinks ever
cultsona 4 points 9m ago
Iced chai with lemonade was for sure up there.
One man wanted a pineapple refresher with a shot in it, and said other stores wouldn't make it for him. I honestly don't mind making weird shit like that as long as they don't get mad when it tastes gross lol

Maybe your customer wanted the frap roast instead of espresso, lmao.

venti lemonade, 1/2 lemonade 1/2 VSC, add dragonfruit inclusions, no ice. 😶

(ssv tried to explain at the register that lemonade is acidic and VSC is mostly dairy. they still insisted on ordering this.)

Venti strawberry and crème w a shot of espresso 😬

this lady has been coming in a lot ordering a Honey Citrus Mint Tea but no water 3 pumps peppermint and add peach juice to the lemonade. strange indeed
jams1015 4 points 9m ago
Ugh, she's fully committed to that mint+citrus combo. So nasty. Go brush your teeth and drink some OJ, lady.

Strawberry açaí lemonade add chai… wasn’t awful but def wasn’t great
Responsible_Snow7109 3 points 9m ago
Lol some drinks we only have cold versions of and when people want hot versions of it, it no longer is a menu item because we have to build it from scratch such as the situation in ur post. So like if they just come to us and say "i want the hot version of that" with no base drink or ANYTHING then theyre guna get the best that we can do for them.

I have a customer who orders a vanilla bean frap with matcha, white mocha, blueberries, peppermint, strawberry purée, and frap chips. I’m probably forgetting a syrup but that’s more or less what this person orders every time they have a 150 stars to use. lmao
lee_templeton 2 points 9m ago
we have someone order a tall hot tea with like 11-13 bags of tea

Mango dragonfruit refresher lemonade with 2 blonde shots. At least once a week the same guy comes and get it
vg_1495 1 points 9m ago
A week or so ago someone order a mango dragonfruit and a pineapple passion both with an add shot, when I took the shaker lid off it smelled so bad 🥲
Brooklynbubbles 1 points 9m ago
I have a customer that gets a passion tea 2 scoops matcha, raspberry pumps, and something else but its not coming to me. But it looks horrible
dnims24 1 points 9m ago
Iced matcha with 2-3 pumps of chai
Not_Another_Karen 1 points 9m ago
This is becoming a regular thing at my store. Customer said its only good if you keep the classic syrup (Canada), while I'm intrigued, I'm more disgusted at how it looks and haven't tried it.
dnims24 1 points 9m ago
I personally don’t care for the matcha (except for a scoop or two in this one frap I like) or the chai, so I won’t be ordering this anytime soon 😂

I once had someone ask for a white chocolate mocha, no mocha
