Good Customer Interactions (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Firm-Ant7684
I love Starbucks but sometimes I feel like I forget why I enjoy my job (besides the amazing coworkers). What are some of your favorite customer interactions or funniest customer interactions? I just want some reminders to look at when I had a bad shift to remember what can make being a partner fun.

there was a little kid who was so freakin excited when i said i could give him just whipped cream i was sooooo happy for him. this little girl who was so excited when i knew what a raichu was. an old lady who excitedly told me about the plants she’d just bought.

Aww I love that. Sometimes if I’m closing and we have a lot of cake pops that are about to go out I’ll try to give them to a well behaved kid that’s hanging with their mom and friends. Sometimes I think the kids are the nicest customers i see in a day, and I love when they ask questions, it’s almost always really funny.

there is a regular at my store who orders the same thing every time and his signature drink is now known as the Showtime Special and he gets absolutely giddy when we call it that

AHHH I love that. That’s so fun!! I wish my store had a regular where we did this. We have a regular that always gets a tall black iced coffee. We have kind of accidentally made it a game of who can make his drink the fastest, because everyone just goes to make it instinctually whenever he walks in the door. I’ve even seen my SM make it first before 😂

I had a lady come through drive through ask me if she could look at my tattoos, and she was complimenting me on how beautiful they were Absolutely made my day 😭

That’s so sweet! I have a bunch of tattoos and I love whenever customers compliment them! Especially when they point out a specific one because it just makes me feel like they actually like the design and not just the fact that i have tattoos!

I have lots but one regular asked me if she can buy us a gift card to pay for our drinks. When I told her that we get our drinks for free, she went “nuts!” And then scurried out the door. She came back a few minutes later with a variety assortment for us in a big bag from the bakery next door. I thanked her and ended up telling her that pretzel buns were my favorite and every week she’d go buy me come buns if I was working.

Have more nice stories from many years but that one is simple :)
