Customer pet peeves (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Elinor32
I don’t know if it’s just me, but it really bothers me when I’m soloing drive-thru and I greet the person at the box and politely tell them to wait. This is because I need to help the other customer at the window and the person at the box sighs or mutters something, which I find rude. Then a minute or so later, when I take their order, they don’t even know what they want! They were so upset about having to wait and didn’t even bother to think about their order.
Also, it really bothers me when a customer tries to add several food or drink items at the window! It’s like, dude, I have your order complete and ready to hand off and the orders for the next two cars and now you’re going to slow down our time.

I instantly ask for a minute if they pull up and scream "HeLlOOo!!!???" Before I even say anything. Nah. You're in my drive thru.

I won't respond for about 20 secs and then in the sweetest voice I can muster I'll say 'Thank you SOOOO much for your patience...'

i tell customers every shift if i’m unable to take their order immediately “hi welcome to starbucks, i be with you in a moment” and they proceed to order. i’m convinced they don’t even listen to the words we say

I love when people at the DTO talk all kinds of crap or do something rude on camera and think we can’t hear them we aren’t talking or see them at all… or when they’re fighting and cursing at eachother in the car like crazy then as soon as you greet them they stop and act calm. 😂

But my real pet peeves steamed lemonade, cold foam on hot drinks, “hello” as soon as they get to DTO.
