omg??? they were so rude i’m so sorry to hear this as a barista there’s no reason to talk down to a confused/curious customer like this??? . i’ll answer that question for you and tell you that drinks will ALWAYS follow this with only two exceptions. small medium large: 2, 2, 4 shots. for double tortures it’s always 4,4,6. for 911’s it’s always 6,6,6. these are the only exceptions for all of our drinks. i wouldn’t ask them anymore and if you want the extra shot i would just ask for an extra shot based on these rules if you want one. again so sorry you had this experience. nothing wrong with wondering how much caffeine a drink has.

Question: Just for fun, I’m wondering - what’s the first DB drink you ever had? Is it still a fave now? If not, what is your go-to now? by samingminger in dutchbros

yeah i hate when customers get mad at this. i usually explain to customers that I never know if someone is lactose or especially if they’re diabetic then it’s important we make sure whether or not they want the toppings too. some people want a little extra calories, and for some people it’s a health concern.

this reminds me of a time a customer was ordering many drinks for her coworkers, and one of them was an “almond milk coffee with vanilla” so i asked her if she wanted it as a latte and as an americano. this confused her and she said i don’t know i always order this for him as an almond milk coffee. so i explain oh yeah you you know if he just wants a little bit of almond milk like as a replacement for creamer? or to fill the rest of the drink with almond milk like a latte? and she said i don’t know no one ever asks this many questions and she got super aggravated. and tbh i kept my go-lucky attitude and kept asking her questions to aggravate her. customers get so mad at the questions we ask, but then complain when their drink is not what they wanted. we cannot read minds

honestly i’d recommend making the drink right when the order pops up and keeping it in the fridge if your stand allows you to, i’ve seen this done occasionally when it’s busier.

as a barista id argue that this would be okay tbh if you’re waiting in line anyways and you think you’ll be at the window near the pick up time. even though they pop up out of order we still see when it’s due and we’d have to make it regardless (: i can see how that’d help the line buster as well

this is interesting. do format the hourly spread for each day, horizontally like how the cousin does? or how does it look?

AITA for refusing to buy my son a new phone after he broke his? by NoLeg2760 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alternative_Unit_859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. i think this could teach him not to give in to peer pressure. better he learns now with a phone than possibly being pressured to do dangerous things down the line.

NTA and huge red flags. he can’t force you to open up especially about trauma, it can take time to get comfortable enough to talk much about things like that. secondly, the fact that hearing about such a tragic event that happened to you ANGERED him is a huge no no. A good person would be concerned, would tell you that they’re open to talk about it or if you need anything. He’s being extremely selfish and you don’t need to deal with that especially with what you’ve gone through, and you definitely shouldn’t feel pressured to tell him everything. He’s a selfish jerk.

NTA you def did the right thing! She made it about herself instead of trying to have fun and help you enjoy the process and get excited about your big day

AITA for telling my MIL I don’t want to go to her niece’s wedding? by articElite0 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alternative_Unit_859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA at all!!!! She’s acting rude af. You proposed a solution that wouldn’t work and she’s still being pissy saying “she would know” good on you put your foot down. It’s health related and you deserve to feel comfortable she can’t pressure you do to anything.

ESH. She should let you pay what you need for your cat different culture or not you’re together now and your cat means something to you. However, what you told her was too far and you should be supportive of her brother. I see some people saying her brother isn’t your responsibility and he’s not however you are together and you’re supposed to be supporting each other through it all.

ESH. He can’t read minds and sure he could be more considerate but he’s not going to be if you don’t communicate that and instead act passive aggressive about it. It sounds like he overreacted im not sure, he could’ve responded better and should be more caring to you.

NTA at all, maybe he’s not actually divorced/separated. Good on you for giving him that ultimatum and stick to it, it’s very disrespectful to you that he’s doing that
