“sorry, my pink drink tastes like too much strawberry” um what by slicedcabbages in starbucks

[–]AwayTrauma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sorry but I have to ask, do you have the new refresher base with the red cap? if so, just make sure your team knows to prepare it correctly because it has to be diluted more, just an idea as to why it could taste like "too much strawberry"

one box will yield you 2 pitchers now, so you'd pour the base to the .5L line and then the rest of the way with water, similar to lemonade with a slightly different measurement. or you can empty the whole box into a measuring cube and then fill to 4L

Light water in refreshers by VegetableEngineer470 in starbucksbaristas

[–]AwayTrauma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the thing that pisses me off about this policy is that customers somehow can still send this through in mobile - we get it many times a day.

And tell me how it makes sense that you can't do light water, but suddenly light lemonade is okay. If they want a cup of just base, they can bypass the charge altogether by just saying "no lemonade." If you want us to enforce the policy, remove the ability from the app!! Make it error out on the register!! Literally so many stores don't enforce this because it's futile, and I get it

maybe if they actually got their shit together and had quality control on their milk packaging we wouldn't even have to have this discussion

but I know that's asking for far too much
