Someone actually said it. Had someone ask me for an MLP Frappe. I told them we don’t do TikTok drinks anymore and they told me to f myself. Sorry OP hope your shift gets better. I hate baristas who enable this behavior

i never mind making these when they have a recipe and order like normal. it’s when they ask for a “santa claus frap” or an “eddie munson frap” with no additional explanation that drives me fucking insane. i get paid to know the starbs menu, which already has countless drinks with set standards. unless i’m getting additional pay to know an additional “secret menu”, i’m not doing it.

I used to tell customers that our store can’t make ____ drink since it isnt an official recipe, so unless they can tell me the base drink and all its modifications, they were out of luck. 9/10 times they couldn’t/wouldn’t find the recipe and they got something else

Someone today ordered a brownie frappechino while I was in drive through. Asked for the recipe ect ect and they wanted us to blend a brownie into a frappechino…

“Sorry the Starbucks secret menu is not official. If you know the recipe for the beverage I can make it.” I don’t play around with that shit.

And I’m also charging you for a custom tea (with all the add-in charges) for your stupid fucking raspberry water with strawberry pieces, too. No bullshit will be perpetrated when I’m on the job.

Doppio espresso with six pumps of mocha, extra cream, in a venti cup with light ice and no room? Nice try mother fucker, but you’re getting the standard four oz of complimentary half and half (you bet I’m gonna measure it with a sample cup), and then that piece of shit is getting stuffed with ice.

Yeah that blows, my friends were/are baristas and the shit I hear about customers doesn’t sound human lmao

my favorite is when they ask for the under the sea refresher. we have no blue juice. the only thing blue is the urnex 😂

i did have this little girl ask for the charli diamelio drink. wrong store, but since it was just a caramel cold brew with extra caramel drizzle i was able to make it. she was so happy

Thank fuck you said it. Ima be real with you, I don’t make this shit if they don’t tell me what’s in it. I tell them if they can provide me the recipe then I’ll be “glad” to make it for them, if not then I can’t and please order something else

Someone asked me about the cosmo and wanda drink, didn't even know how to make it, so they guessed, and we made how they said. I had no clue if the bottom or top was pink, plus they wanted it in a frapp that I don't think will work

my go to line is, show me where on our menu you see that drink (sometimes if they have a thick accent this can help identify what they’re referring to)

and then they go, well it’s not on the menu, and i say :) i can’t make it for you then, unless you explain how to make it based on what is ON the menu :)

I’m tired of people randomly shoving their bright ass screens into my face without even a hello. If you want a custom drink great tell me or write it in your note and slowly read it to me, ya know like I’m an actual person and not the bar code scanner. If you want some stupid tik tok drink you have to right the recipe down for me and order it like a norma fucking person. Also I’m tired of people ordering the blue ocean foam shit that’s actually our urnex then calling me names cuz I wont poison them and their children and how dare I make your 10 your old cry for saying no. Raise your damn kids better or put them up for adoption so someone who actually wants to raise their kids can. And not the damn phones raising them. I’m gen z I know how nice it is to have technology, but if your kid cries cuz I refuse to poison them and loos my job that’s a reflection on your parenting.

Please stop treating us like barcode scanners.

it's a barista's god given right to complain about drinks
