aita for not knowing how every single thing on the menu tastes (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by devotionofsuspectx
today some bitch pulled up in drive and gave me a hard time because i couldn't describe how the breakfast sandwiches tasted beyond 'it has sausage, egg, cheddar, and comes on a muffin bun' sorry but i don't eat that stuff idk what you want me to say!
she went as far as to lecture me about it at the window... 😐 i just had to share because it really frustrated me and i've been thinking about it all day since

Aside from knowing what’s on it, I’m not really sure what she expected of you.

For people who ask what drinks taste like, I like to take a short cup and put a pump of whatever syrup is used, it gives them a better sense of taste considering smelling is half of tasting where as describing it just dumb imo. Everybody has different ways to characterize drinks

Had the same thing happen with the chestnut praline.
Guest: “what does the chestnut taste like?”
Me: “it tastes like chestnut….”
Guest: “what does the chestnut taste like?”
Me: “it tastes like chestnut….”

What else are you supposed to say? The name’s pretty straightforward

“Well the egg, that tastes like an egg…. Very eggy. The sausage tastes like ground meat. Uh I’m very fond of cheddar, that tastes just like cheese!” This is the same kind of person that would say their soup is too soupy.

she's a toxic bitch that needs to get her life together instead of taking it out on you and those around her

When I worked at a deli, a woman got mad because 9f a cheese I hadn't tried. I offered her a sample. She refused it, orded half a pound while bitching that I hadn't tried it before to help her out with the taste

I just say, "It tastes just like your grocer's freezer!" or ask, "Have you ever had a Jimmy Dean, but paid $6 for ONE instead of a box? No? You're in for a treat today!"

I totally agree. we dont usually have time to sample each drink. I also kinda hate when people ask what I like or what I recommend because everyone's taste is different so I can't promise you you'll like it 🤷♀️ 😅

You could save yourself a lot of trouble by just lying lol. I do it all the time. Pick one to say is your favorite and when anyone asks you about a sandwich or pastry you can just be like eh it’s okay but my favorite is the XYZ.

Most of the food starbucks sell I can't have due to allergies and I tell them that. So I haven't gotten yelled at.

I always feel like an asshole when people ask me how drinks taste. Because they are usually asking about things like the sugar cookie, and I just say it tastes like a sugar cookie…. Or what’s in the sausage, egg and cheddar sandwich…. It’s sausage, egg, and cheddar….
Also, my go too when I don’t like something is either, I’m allergic or “I haven’t tried it but it’s very popular”

If you’re a barista no, but if you’re a supervisor and up yes. 👍🏻 i have a wheat allergy and would ask everyone for a review of the food. Customers who order the same item everyday are the best for positive reviews

I can’t have anything we sell, including coffee, so I just lie. I Google what some of them are supposed to taste like or ask coworkers.

So many people have food allergies or restrictions. Who expects someone to have eaten everything on a menu in this day and age??

I’m allergic to some drinks and I just lie 😅 People get pushy when you don’t explain and then get upset when your explanation doesn’t sound good enough to them
fredforthered 1 points 7m ago
Sometimes they be like that. I’m the AH who would be so confused that I’d ask if she had either had those items separately or together, or say it’s reminiscent of the arch product, but with a frozen egg.
