The fact that this is a shift that orders it during peak and than complains it’s not made in time for their ten 🤦‍♀️ (i.redd.it)

Nah they gotta make it themselves
HoneydewOk5894 [OP] 122 points 7m ago
No literally. They do it during peak when ere back on fraps. Half the baristas push it to the end of the line because it slows them down just to read it. Not to mention grabbing the ingredients and everything. And I don’t see how it’s good? So much in there straight sugar milk
Cute-Benches 130 points 7m ago
Why does the milk preference have to be at the bottom? I feel like every time I go to make a complicated drink like this I get through about half the drink before I realize the milk I used was wrong
Ceramicusedbook 46 points 7m ago
This annoys me too. I was complaining about this yesterday. It should go 1. Milk. 2. Shots. 3. Syrup... yknow, like the steps in the sequence.
friendlySkeletor 24 points 7m ago
I feel like i remember a change to stickers that was supposed to fix that. Was it just never pushed through? I'm on autopilot bar so i didn't notice either way.
bellamythos 8 points 7m ago
I remember that weekly update too! iirc they said hot bar & cold bar would be printed in the same order (so milk then syrups then whip then toppings, or whatever it actually is), but milk should still be first either way 🤔
Cute-Benches 3 points 7m ago
Yes!!!
HoneydewOk5894 [OP] 11 points 7m ago
Lol same
strangechatter 9 points 7m ago
I scan the whole ticket for the milk modification first, and then the shots, then the rest of the mods
urexsnetflixpassword 81 points 7m ago
this should be a fireable offense imo
jordan_leigh 73 points 7m ago
They can go fuck exactly right off. Show them I said this too.
TheNobleMoth 15 points 7m ago
All the way off.
nicolelynnejones 51 points 7m ago
We have a barista who will order their drink like 3 minutes before their shift starts and then complain that it’s not ready before they clock in. Their shift always starts during the most hellish hour of peak. They don’t order anything complicated but still… like, homie… you know how busy it gets!
swagfrenchfry 4 points 7m ago
oh
nicolelynnejones 12 points 7m ago
ITS NOT YOU

That one pump of sugar free vanilla really tops it all off
HoneydewOk5894 [OP] 20 points 7m ago
You didn’t know? Not only does it addd needed flavor but helps reduce the calories
icech1ps 17 points 7m ago
I feel like they tracked this in my fitness pal as a black coffee with 1 pump sugar free vanilla and a tbsp of cream 😂
jazzysoranio 32 points 7m ago
That’s a quality shift supervisor right there. Bet they’ve earned a lot of respect from their team. Such a self-aware and informed leader. 😳🫣😗
oshian_ 28 points 7m ago
this should be a crime
Ann-Drogyny 20 points 7m ago
Yeah they can definitely make that, ring it up, and hit the don’t make button.
tangerine46x 11 points 7m ago
They should shit themselves with that drink
RepresentativeArm464 10 points 7m ago
Um you make your own drinks lol
HoneydewOk5894 [OP] 17 points 7m ago
Literally. There’s three people at my store who refuse to make their own drinks. Their reasoning being ‘I wanna feel like the customer on my break’ or ‘I can’t make good drinks’.

The person who ordered this wants to feel like the customers.
MysticsWonTheFinals 20 points 7m ago
>I wanna feel like the customer on my break

Then they should pay the $10 or whatever this costs? Part of the authentic Starbucks customer experience is vague discomfort with how much you’re spending
RepresentativeArm464 10 points 7m ago
That sounds like their personal problem LMAO and it’s literally only a 10 min break tf if they don’t get some water or lemonade 🤣
saltandseasmoke 5 points 7m ago
'I wanna feel like the incoherently angry person late for work who mobile ordered an abomination forty seconds before entering the drive thru line who is now going to suffer the consequences of their choices'
SNES182 9 points 7m ago
Tell them to make it themselves.
elinor435 5 points 7m ago
idk why partners are complaining about other people not making their drink in time😭 like why be an inside karen? like i know it’s pOliCy to not make our own drinks but cmon you said she’s a shift too? just make that monstrosity ur damn self i would be embarrassed to have someone make that for me anyways.
Automatic-Fact9935 5 points 7m ago
People who order this crap and complain are douche bags no matter what time of day.
Next_Resolution_3889 4 points 7m ago
She can go make her own abomination
Nhicuuu 4 points 7m ago
i’d rather spit in my own drink
Superduperfreddy 3 points 7m ago
Straight up . " make it yourself” like ngl when my ssv tries this after they clock out I look at them when I get to the sticker and I look at them .
Brgnbo 3 points 7m ago
If I know my order is that complicated I make it myself smh. If we’re behind I get my drink myself literally even if it’s just an apple juice or something. I know it depends on your SM but you literally cannot complain when you’re ordering that monstrosity for your TEN. Order it after your shift so you can wait?
xthefabledfox 3 points 7m ago
Yeah they’d be making this bullshit themselves
Torirock10 3 points 7m ago
crazy
Jesslynnlove 3 points 7m ago
lol what a garbage ass shift.
darkwolf523 3 points 7m ago
Nah I’ll tell her do it her shift. I’m not stopping for a coworker/shift while I got customers
fredforthered 3 points 7m ago
Eww.
kpoplionking 3 points 7m ago
Lord!!! They create a thesis paper of a drink and then complain??
WateredDownLemonade 3 points 7m ago
Also aren't we not supposed to blend food in... So no blueberries? Yeah no this person sounds inconsiderate. Sheesh
jordan_leigh 20 points 7m ago
Blueberries and bananas are fine since there’s an official mod button for the fruit. But pastures and other food items cannot go
nicolelynnejones 17 points 7m ago
God I miss having bananas. Having a smoothie every day kept me sane
canidieyet_ 3 points 7m ago
i miss the bananas so much 😭 i understand why they got rid of them though, we were wasting so may. it was only me & like 2 others that would eat them/make smoothies with them. we would have like 1 customer a week that would actually buy one
nicolelynnejones 2 points 7m ago
Not to mention the FRUIT FLIES 💀
jordan_leigh 10 points 7m ago

Cultural-Ad1167 2 points 7m ago
Wait why are they taking a break during peak???
HoneydewOk5894 [OP] 1 points 7m ago
They claim they don’t want to meal break. 🤷‍♀️
Cultural-Ad1167 2 points 7m ago
But it’s a ten??? You don’t meal break for tens 🥲🥲🥲
HoneydewOk5894 [OP] 1 points 7m ago
If they don’t take they’re ten now they’ll take it later. Which leads to them taking a later lunch? Bruh fuck if I know.
haleslyons 2 points 7m ago
I didn’t think we were even allowed to blend blueberries, let alone put a frappuccino in a trenta cup
HoneydewOk5894 [OP] 1 points 7m ago
We’re allowed to blend blueberries. But we’re not allowed to put in a trenta cup. Only time we’ve done it at my store is when we ran out of venti cups.

“Cup pls” lol
ossarylark 1 points 7m ago
At our store, everyone makes their own drinks. It's common courtesy.
Indica-daddy 1 points 7m ago
To which I politely reply: “Make it your damn self”. I’m so happy to make wildly complicated drinks for people who are kind and patient—I’m not so happy to do so for people being impatient and entitled. That shift would forever be making their own drink while I was on bar.
