Affogato, but pretend (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by franglaisedbeignet
This older gent orders a venti dark roast, with two shots. But then says he wants it affogoto. So I start hunting for the affogato button, but in the back of my mind I’m thinking,isn’t this a shot that goes over the whipped cream on a Frappuccino? Why does this guy want to pay a dollar more for this on his hot coffee? I never said I was quick, okay? I’m just used to these customers telling me what they want, how they want it, etc. So I say, I think the Affogato is a shot poured over a Frappuccino. And he says, just pour the shots on top of my dark roast. Okay. And why do we want to pay a dollar for this opportunity??? So finally I get it, he just says Affogato to mean “on top” but basically, I should just type in a note in Ask Me. Duh. At this point I’m over this kind of confusion at the POS. Dude. So I say hey we got you, no problem, let’s pour your shots on top. But next time just say that because ordering it Affogato charges you a dollar extra. And someone even less clever than I am will just charge you and not say anything. AITA?? Lol Yes.

an affogato is just an italian desert (icecream or gelato with espresso poured over it)

in italian affogato means "drowned"

you're nta but customers don't want to be corrected so i usually don't 🫣

just nod and agree. Sure buddy, you want a vanilla ice cream with espresso poured over it in your dark coffee? Sounds great, let’s keep the line moving please

Tbh I would’ve just charged for the Affogato shot probably without thinking. If I realized in the moment i would probably do an ask me and say add shots last. He ordered it that way though and probably usually pays for affogato at other stores I’d assume. I don’t think you’re wrong for trying to clarify though, you were just trying to save him money. He did seem insistent though so I would’ve just done affogato and kept it moving.

What they wanted was called a "Red Eye"

Yeah I know. It was the pouring the shots on top of the coffee and it being charged extra with the affogato button that was stupid. Isn’t 1 shot a red eye and 2 shots a black eye??
