white mocha (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Relevant-Physics-343
this girl game through DT yesterday and asked for a venti iced white mocha but without the chocolate and i repeated “you would like a venti iced white mocha is that correct?” And she said yes but can you make it without the chocolate? and so i said “you don’t want any white mocha sauce in it?” And she said yes she does she just doesn’t want the chocolate in it, i almost cried like what does she think she’s ordering 😭

That was the girl that wanted a pumpkin cream cold brew without the cream at my store.

Probably thinks its a cold brew w pumpkin and cream, which makes more sense actually
claretamazon 15 points 9m ago
Unfortunately I didn't put the whole story in there. We let her know it would just be cold brew with vanilla but was very adamant about not understanding us and continued to repeat her order. She sounded like she needed water and a pillow instead of caffeine.

Best one I’ve heard so far!
“can I just get a venti black pike?”
“For sure! What else can I—“
“With 6 pumps of vanilla, 2 pumps of white mocha and 8 Splenda”
“Sooooo you don’t want it black? O- o”
“Yes I do, I just ordered it black”
“Sir I’m sorry but black means you want absolutely nothing in it as in no sugar or cream or anything”
“Listen I drink coffee everyday so I know what I’m taking about, when someone says black they mean no cream because the color doesn’t change thus black. And I didn’t order any cream just the sugars I need so therefore I need it black”
“………..”
Bitch what? 😂😂

Why do you even try and tell people they're wrong? Just give then what they're asking for and keep the line moving.
mrcupcake18 12 points 9m ago
To make sure I hear them right and make sure they know what they are ordering? I’m not correcting to be an asshole I’m doing it to make sure I get the order right. A lot of my customers are seniors so sometimes they don’t actually know what some of the things mean or what comes in our drinks

Same energy as this regular that gets a matcha green tea latte with sweet cream cold foam. If you say "vanilla sweet cream cold foam" to him he will say "can I get it without the vanilla? I still want the sweet cream."
If you let this go far enough he will eventually get a MGTL with nonfat cold foam and complain it doesn't taste like anything.

I've had a similar experience. Hand-holding grown adults through the process of understanding things like, white mocha has chocolate, white mocha has sugar, nonfat milk has lactose... Etc.
alexkerie 2 points 9m ago
i had someone actually come through the drive thru ordering an iced mocha made with nonfat milk and then said “can you make sure it’s nonfat as well? my daughter is allergic to milk and i don’t want to take her to the hospital”

BRUH...

Reminds me of a customer treating me like the dumbest guy alive because I told her a trenta peach green tea wouldnt fit in her 24 oz personal starbucks cup. I read her the ounces on the bottom of the cup and everything and she would not have it. I offered to put the remaining in a separate cup. She wasn’t happy with that, wanted it in *her* cup. Manager finally intervened and told her we’d just make it with light ice. Insisted on being charged for a trenta anyway when she could be charged for a venti. It’s fine. Im fine.

“No good deed goes unpunished,” as they say.
Yeah, their customers are Karens. They cater to Karens.

someone asked for a pumpkin spice latte without the spice so i said “oh so none of the powder on top then?” and she was like “uh no that’s okay, my daughter just doesn’t want it spicy” 😐

My favorite was last week when a man came in and insisted my shift supervisor give him coffee made without water.

Also had a customer ordering a “chocolate mocha”. Do you mean white chocolate mocha? “No just chocolate mocha”. Oh ok. Gets to the window. “How come every time i order this i get white chocolate mocha”. Literally told her *because you don’t need to say the chocolate part. Just mocha.*

We have a lady who I, a shift, have beef with because she ask for a brown oat milk shaken espresso and you know its ice and it foamy because you shake it. We remind her everyday about it and once the barista gives it to her she gets mad and says I wanted it hot and why is it so foamy…. I’ve told her twice its a latte and she ends up saying that she orders it like that the entire time and they always donut correctly.

I had someone order a mocha with “not very much chocolate, more mocha” and also was very surprised when it had coffee in it.
