I’m so over seeing people get children refreshers lol (self.starbucksbaristas)

It’s almost always the worst customers too, that get their children refreshers. Once had a child scream in my face for a cake pop because he hadn’t had his caffeine for the day lol. Have fun with your kid being on a caffeine high! 🥲

i always try to gently tell parents that the refreshers are caffeinated if i sense that the kid is under like… 10? they usually don’t know and thank me for telling them, then go on to pick a different (albeit sugar-loaded) option

one mom looked me in the eye and then at her kid and then back to me wide-eyed and said “that makes so much sense” (car trips with a a caffeinated kiddo)



my least favorite thing is “what’s the closest you guys have to a smoothie?” ☠️

i always go with blended strawberry lemonade or strawberry cream frap (but say that one is more like a milkshake)

They're mostly white grape juice but people don't realize they have caffeine because green coffee isn't a widely known thing.

White grape, not grapefruit. White grape is used because it's very neutral flavored.

It auto corrected. I don't know why. I meant for it to say white grape.

but isn’t the same caffeine as a coke or smth like that.like a very insignificant amount??

A grande is 45mg if caffeine. Which is about a coke. But for a small child this is still a significant amount. Negligible for most adults but it’s screw up little people for the rest of the day.

They almost never know so if they give the vibe that they are giving this to their kid to calm them down (so they don’t have a tantrum) or the kid is very little I always let them know that they’re caffeinated. I usually suggest a lemonade with some strawberry purée added. I once watched a kid suck down a strawberry açaí in like 3 seconds flat and told her mom they had caffeine and she smugly told me she knew that. And then a minute later came back to ask me how much after she must have connected all the pieces.
