Customers mad over blonde espresso? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by dontgiveah00t
The other day I had two customers come up to me while I was on lobby bar and ask why their BSOSE said “blonde” on it, what were we “putting in their drink”… I told them that that’s the type of espresso the drink comes with as compared to our signature espresso.. they then argued that they order this drink all the time and it never has said blonde on the label… I explained this drink has always been made with blonde espresso, and it is a different “sweeter” roast (and imo tastes better) than signature beans and then they tried to accuse me of trying to add sugar to their drink! I wasn’t even on register! I said it doesn’t have any sugar.. I realize now sweeter wasn’t the best words? Less bitter might have been better?

But seriously, what happened to these girls to get mad their cup said “Blonde” on it?!?! And iirc the labels have always said blonde when a drink calls for blonde espresso, standard or not 😂

has this happened to anyone else?? How do you explain blonde? I’ll never say “sweeter” again 🪦

It’s smoother and lighter, with just a tiny bit more caffeine. Not enough to make a crazy difference tho. Also I have come to the conclusion that no one knows what they are drinking

Honestly, I think you could replace the espresso shot with mop water and as long as there's pumpkin spice in it nobody's going to notice the difference.

This reminds me of when someone mobile ordered a BOSE and when they got it they were like "oh... I ordered this hot?" Like ma'am no you most definitely didn't. She was nice about it, just seemed genuinely clueless so it wasn't *too* bad of an interaction. Just proves how little people understand the sbux menu lol
