Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Full History - 2022 - 11 - 06 - ID#yninhu
100
having to resist the urge to snap back at people is so difficult (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Torirock10
guy came thru and tried to use a 100 on a 3 dollar order. i told him i can’t take it because i don’t have enough change in my drawer and he goes “come on man this is starbucks!!” and i started snapping back and saying “yeah this is starbucks-“ and got cut off by my coworker before i could finish my sentence “not a bank” and yk i wish i could’ve snapped back but i’m glad i was able to stop myself bc it would’ve caused more problems :P

he did end up paying with a card so it is frustrating he just expected me to be his bank though

Lmao people think because starbucks prices are high, they dont see it for what it is which is fast food and they still think its that nice classy cafe where quality is perfection ✨

Lol no its fast food cuz all they care about is times and just cuz its expensive prices doesnt, in any way, mean that we have a ton of cash on hand. I swear people look at Starbucks as a status symbol

We're the middle class mcdonalds or something. People come by just to buy a 3.22 dollar cake pop for some reason. I singular cakepop. 😮‍💨
Responsible_Snow7109 18 points 8m ago
Lol honestly. People come in to my store sometimes to buy a large number of cake pops like 25 of em or something for a birthday party and things like that. Its crazy when people that do that can literally get a huge variety of things similar from a grocery store bakery for cheaper and with a larger quantity

Had a lady say we lost her as a customer cause we couldn't take 100 dollar bills.

no 100s and no garbage in through the DT window were my 2 favorite things

LOL it’s funny because we just started taking big bills again & now we never have any change. Good one yall, fucked everything up to please the 3 assholes who pay with a $100. Told one lady her change will be in all $5s if she pays with that bill, her response; “Ughh well you’re the manager right?, why can’t you just open the safe to get $20’s?” Straight up said NO & crumbled the bill back into her hand lmaoo

It's honestly better if you emotionally detach from customers. Like people asking for 100 change, I just lie. "sorry were actually running low on bills 😐"

I usually just employ my aggressively cheerful NPC Twink voice and folks give up. But for me in the mean time it does cover up the snap backs I do blurt out, since the tone makes it sound way more customer service-y

I’m sorry, we don’t have enough cash change for you, if you are okay with COINS, then One’s and fives I’m sure I can make change for you(that was my MANAGER interjecting over me) and then the customer asked for the manager, and my Manager said, I am the manager. Any objections, and you can talk to my boss, the District Manager, and then the customer whipped out a credit card, and my manager says, seeeeeeeeee, you have other options

Man this has been happening to me a lot lately too. I don’t know why somebody would walk around with 100 bills like my guy that’s how you get robbed. This morning my shift kept letting people use large bills so I almost ran out of singles and fives. I was lowkey stressed about it too cuz we haven’t even gotten our money truck in a couple days

lady tried to pay with a 50$ i asked if she had anything else she got pissed off and said "NO I DONT 😡" then she got pissed off bc she got handed back mostly ones. who tf just drives around without their credit card and only a 50$ bill?? how is it not common knowledge at this point that most drive thrus arent going to take anything higher than a 20$.

Ok I'll take your $100 for your $3 item but your change is going to be $5's and $1's because Im petty like that and because its my ass Im going to count it 3 times before I hand your change back to you.
