I’ve tried a few of the drinks like that. They’re so sweet they honestly don’t even have any flavor aside from just…sweet.

Same when customers get refreshers sweetened. I honestly can’t even taste the fruit base, only sweet.

"This drink is SO good! I get it everyday 😋"

The drink: Pink Drink w/ 4 pumps White Mocha, 4 pumps Raspberry, no Strawberry Inclusions, VSCCF, and Caramel Drizzle 🤢

The worst part... she buys it for her 10 year old daughter.

we have a regular who gets 24 pumps of dark carmel in her caramel ribbon crunch

I understand when customers get a sweet drink as a treat, but the ones who have regular orders like that make me feel a lot better about my life choices 😆

I had a regular like that but it was cuz he did drugs and couldn’t taste anything anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

So sweet it’s flammable

I have a regular that orders a venti iced caramel macchiato with 10 white mocha and a single shot of course with extra caramel drizzle and I’m always like why .. what is the point

my store has a regular that gets 25 splendas in his coffee EVERYDAY, ik its fake sugar but that cannot taste good

My old store had a regular that would get 11 pumps vanilla, 10 pumps hazelnut in a grande caramel macchiato and the milk would just settle on top of it. It was as bad as you think it was.

As a former partner who doesn’t really like coffee that much… guilty as charged. My go to is a vanilla bean with extra whip. But! That’s like a once in a blue moon treat, not an everyday thing.

customers would favor so much more from the phrase “less is more” i don’t mind when customers combine flavors, i actually encourage it, but you don’t need 8 pumps of it 😭 when people ask me to add a flavor and i say how many pumps , they genuinely look at me confused , and i suggest maybe 2 or 3 depending on size. i hate how the standard is if they ask for another flavor added it’s the same amount of pumps. that’s so much bruh . i think people are only okay with it because they paid that much and they want it to be sweet and not taste like coffee anyway. I wish ppl can understand coffee flavor can be sweet ! but you don’t need a fuck ton of syrup or milk to make that happen. If you still don’t like it after halving the pumps, maybe stop drinking coffee 💓 the psychology of these people fascinate me tbh

It’s just a cycle, like abusing any drug. It creates a wear and tear that you probably wouldn’t be aware of without a healthy diet to compare it to. The more sugar you have the more you need to enjoy it. The more you notice a lack of sugar in a drink too. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to compare it to the negative effects of drug abuse, minus the fact that you’re basically sober.

People can do whatever they want though. That’s just how they end up getting “overly” sweet drinks. Some of them make me do a double take but I get it. That’s just how diets work.

Someone comes through 1-2 times daily at my store getting a “medicine ball” V size with 10 pumps honey blend and 7 pumps peppermint. Sometimes they buy 2 at once.

It’s probably got nothing to do with coffee rather a serious sugar addiction which is probably very common in America. Oh also from my experience Starbucks beans taste burnt as hell lol so I don’t blame anyone for covering that up with loads of sugar and milk

Someone got an iced matcha with chai and 8 pumps of vanilla and sweet cream cold foam today, I tried it and it’s literally just drinking sugar. Another guy came and got a grande iced coffee with extra sweet cream, sweet cream foam and vanilla in the drink as well. Like guys if you have to add so much sugar and sweet foam to a drink to be able to enjoy it, have you ever considered you just might NOT LIKE IT?!

same with people who order a pike but get 12 packets of sugar and extra cream. it’s okay bro! you don’t need to order a pike! you can admit you don’t like it!

I love our reg that gets a iced caramel macchiato with 6 vanilla, 6 sf vanilla, 3 caramel, 3 dark caramel, 3 scoop vbp, and whole milk all topped with vsccb and caramel drizzy

some lady had my coworker remake her vsc cold brew like 3 times bc she kept saying “it’s too strong” and had him add more and more sweet cream girl stop trying to pretend you like coffee it’s okay if you don’t !!!!!! we have other caffeinated drinks that aren’t coffee!

On the contrary I get annoyed when people ask for it to not be sweetend - or less sweet. I get it some people have glycemic issues and need to be careful but I dont feel like explaining after a half pump of syrup or splenda/stevia that the vanilla sweet cream cold foam contains a butt- Ton of sugar and no I dont have the total carbohydrates committed to memory.

I was spacing during closing while making my drink and accidentally put the full 6 pumps in and I gagged when I tasted it😂 idk how they do it
