i ended up making it with water and when she came to pick it up i double checked that she meant no lemonade and she said yes 🤷🏻‍♀️
clouds183 59 points 7m ago
you do make your matcha lemonades with water, right?
hotcheetomamii [OP] 69 points 7m ago
yes but i was confused as to why you’d remove the main part of the drink
clouds183 65 points 7m ago
because matcha water isn’t an option. I’ve heard of people ordering it like that but they just want a matcha water. its not uncommon.
hotcheetomamii [OP] 31 points 7m ago
well i’ve never seen it before lol
Haiku_lass 1 points 7m ago
isnt it more expensive to order it this way?
dnims24 20 points 7m ago
TIL matcha lemonade has water in it 😬
Haiku_lass 6 points 7m ago
did you think it was matcha powder and straight lemonade?
strawberrypxnk 1 points 7m ago
someone taught us wrong lmaoooo
Euphoric_Ad1240 85 points 7m ago
I swear to God I would have put 3 pumps of classic and 3 scoops of matcha in a venti cup and called it a day.
buggzyt 56 points 7m ago
why wouldn’t you still add the water?
Euphoric_Ad1240 33 points 7m ago
Wait… it gets water??? My SSV told me it was just lemonade….
buggzyt 44 points 7m ago
they do! check the recipe card in partner resources your next shift
R1P2MYOUTH 25 points 7m ago
how have i been at sbux for years and didnt know this💀 well at least now i know😭
Euphoric_Ad1240 21 points 7m ago
Omg I’ve been lied to…. Thank you!!
TylerJ716 10 points 7m ago
This thread has chewed Mr out before about it. I learned the hard way that it gets water
LeiyoZynne 6 points 7m ago
I've been living a lie.
mars-needsmilfs 48 points 7m ago
i’ve never made a matcha lemonade with water. i thought it was all lemonade 😵‍💫
amandaconda 36 points 7m ago
Standard is half lemonade and half water.
Former_Economics9424 34 points 7m ago
We really rob these customers with how much we water down everything lol
durqandat 28 points 7m ago
Have you tried it both ways? It’s honestly better made to standard imo. Less flavor doesn’t necessarily mean anyone is getting ripped off—beverages (in theory) are meant to be balanced.

Edit: Not that I don’t think we rip people off, I just don’t think this is an example of it.
RaptorClaw27 5 points 7m ago
Yeah, it's so nice and smooth and balanced when made correctly. I hate having to ask for it to be remade because people don't add water.
Hot-Independence8670 4 points 7m ago
standard is half lemonade half water but tbh when i have it myself i do all lemonade the water dilutes it too much
marigshu 32 points 7m ago
The amount of partners who never know the beverage standards gets me every time
hmarie0716 15 points 7m ago
There’s so many standards tho, can we really blame anybody😭
riccum 18 points 7m ago
The number of partners that don’t know it gets water is mildly concerning. You guys know hot chai gets water right… right?
dnims24 6 points 7m ago
I knew about the chai but personally I very rarely ever see matcha lemonade
quickthinxallthots 1 points 7m ago
do matcha lattes also get water?
almondmiilktea 14 points 7m ago
Someone once mobile ordered a matcha lemonade with Light water light lemonade light ice so I made it that way(plus a hell of a lot of room) and asked her what she wanted more of and she said “Matcha” and I was like ????
Rose_Starr 9 points 7m ago
it's like asking for a cheeseburger, no cheese
Water-is-h2o 37 points 7m ago
off of a menu that doesn’t offer a hamburger
postmal0n3 3 points 7m ago
Yall the water line is on the shaker?? Theres three lines are yall just ignoring the milk/juice/water line you dont even have to have the recipe completely memorized its on written out? Sincerely a new partner who is confused but may be mistaken (i just got certified 🤸🏻‍♀️)
PotatoLaBelle 5 points 7m ago
I don’t think it’s that. I thought it was straight lemonade too but it’s not like I was *ignoring* the milk/water line lol I was just doing lemonade *to* the milk/water line, like you’d do an iced matcha, but with lemonade. And it’s like, that’s how my trainer taught me, and I guess how her’s (my sm) taught her, so I assumed it was correct. And nobody ever corrected me, so I never had a reason to second guess it.

I mean the water line is still on the shaker when we make shaken espressos too lol the water line on the shaker don’t mean nothing if I think it gets no water 🤷‍♂️

Also congrats 😊

I really enjoy the matcha powder with water
sakuramads 1 points 7m ago
Someone at my store keeps doing this too!
TraditionalAd2487 1 points 7m ago
y’all are miserable. just follow the sticker, make what the person ordered and craft a matcha water. they’re delicious.
hotcheetomamii [OP] 6 points 7m ago
half of this subreddit is making fun of drink orders LMAO you can’t just be mad at me
RVZXR -3 points 7m ago
I would discreetly write "I hate you" on their cup
Stunkydunk -1 points 7m ago
K here’s your cup of syrupy matcha ice, Abby.
Horror_Disaster_2302 17 points 7m ago
