Actual conversation from today (context: we have a sign that says we’re out of all hot teas)…
Customer: can I get a medicine ball?
Me: we don’t have any hot teas, sorry about that
Customer: oh.. I didn’t know that was considered a tea
??????what?????

When you tell them we are out of honey both yea bags and they are like can you still make it

That and “is there anything else like it? Can you mix another tea with lemonade?” Like first off no. I’m out out all teas. Secondly, nothing is gonna taste similar. When they get super desperate we mix steamed lemonade with the iced green tea and peach juice 🙃 we tell them it’s not gonna be the same but they don’t care

Someone ordered a brewed chai tea with lemonade this morning at my store.

Last week I made a grande lemonade and added 3 pumps of chai, just to see how bad it could be. It was surprisingly good. Not sure about lemonade with the brewed chai though.

Yes I love brewing the chai tea bag With the steamed lemonade. I’ve been recommending that just on its own. But we will make the honey citrus mint tea with mint majesty, and sub peach juice for the peach tranquility. Tastes okay.

We've been out for 3 weeks, and the amount of times I've had to tell people there's no substitute and they still try to order it makes me so annoyed.

One time my store was out of lemonade and I told the customer I was serving that we were out of lemonade and she said “so you don’t have any tea?” And I said “no. We have tea but no lemonade.” “So I can’t get a tea?” “Yes, you can get a tea, we are out of lemonade” So I sold her a peach tranquility and she came back ten minutes later saying it was nasty. Oh people.

I used to have this regular at my old store that subbed strawberry açaí instead of lemonade 🤢
