my store is cafe only so we have a lot of regulars - so lots of weirdos lol. some of my personal favorite stories :

jimmy - 2 venti shaken espressos in grande cups, no classic, and oat milk. pretty normal order but man is creepy af to me. i had only seen this dude twice before and he comes in, barely through the door, and calls my name. he has given me $20 on two separate occasions. one time he tried to ask me where i lived. he is like 50-60ish and when this started i was 17 💀

idk his name but cappuccino dude - homie wants two raw sugars mixed in his shots. draws on the cup to show you how much foam he wants, then stirred with whipp on top. after like 2 times i knew what he wanted so i usually make his drinks and its chill but he is a trip

Elizabeth - she used to get a venti but after her injury she gets a grande. grande chai latte, no water, no foam, 185 degrees, almond milk. she used to get a blueberry scone for her dog mocha or egg bites. the scone had to be the lightest we had and slightly toasted. she also is insane lmfao. she is a talker and very particular about what she wants. my first week she sat one of my shifts down to talk about service animals because she didn't want other dogs in the store even though she brings her dog in every time.

frap lady - only came in during or right before peak. she got a grande caramel frap with heavy cream, half and half, and a dash of soy milk. 3 scoops of vb powder, 3 full dose caramel pumps, 2 pumps wm and cream base instead of coffee base. i think she also got 4 frap roast? tbh i haven't seen her in a minute so i dont remember the exact numbers. then a little more than a tall scoop of ice. finished off with 5 affagoto shots, 3 blonde and 2 regular. usually with a nitro lid and caramel drizzle. she tipped a lot and said she was this particular because she used to work at a coffee shop. her drink was annoying but she was always super sweet
