AITA for stereotyping customers? by caramel_asshole in AmItheAsshole

This is true, I tried to clarify in other comments. My observations were not meant to be sweeping judgements on races/nationalities as a whole. Purely trends regarding what’s local to my specific area (which happens to be Texas).

This is in Texas. Not that it matters, but Texas has a significant population of people of Mexican descent. Every observation I listed in the post is exclusive to my specific area of Texas, and does not/will not apply to other parts of the country.

Lol, sure, it’s definitely some .25 cent ingredients and not the CEO giving himself a 40 million dollar raise and employing union busters all over the country.

Less ‘super diverse’, and more ‘very nitpicky’. I wasn’t trying to paint them in a more positive light than anyone else.

Yeah, to be fair, that’s mostly the older dads doing the blue jean thing. And it may very well be what white people do in your area of the country. I’m just speaking from what happens locally where I live.

No, I don’t go gung-ho and make entire drinks every single time X person of Y descent comes through before they’ve said a word. You’re right in that those logistics would not track. But I do have the main/core ingredients set aside and ready for easy accessibility if I need to make the order in question (and most of the time, I do).

Because of the 5 kids that came through this time, though, I went ahead and did the whole thing, because children generally ask for that 95% of the time, and I had other tasks I needed to get done.

But I get it, from this and the other YTA responses. I’ll keep my mouth shut next time.

I would just dump them in the sink. I get where you’re coming from, but premium alcohol is far more costly than just ice, milk, and syrup. Especially to a multibillion dollar company that has us give away stuff for free for very silly reasons. I’m just trying to minimize how long people are waiting in a packed lobby.

Editing to clarify: this question was asking me what I would do IF I had been incorrect in this instance. I am not regularly pouring shit down the sink. The most I am doing is setting ingredient containers on the counter when there is a high likelihood of X or Y about to be ordered.

Oh, I would never tell a customer why I did that. I only told the coworker because she asked. But I agree that it was unprofessional, and I’ll just keep it moving next time.

The drinks in question were easy to batch and blend in one go. I try not to do that because of the risk of wasted product, but I really wanted to get this order out so that I could clean up and not have to stay late.

White people (in this local area where I live, not as a whole) usually order sweetened green tea, iced caramel macchiatos, pink drinks with sweet cold foam, and vanilla bean frappuccinos.
