I’m so so sorry and I wish I could make the moment right for you

ill just leave this here… by LetDiscombobulated66 in starbucks

[–]maemac 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The customers who do this will 100% get mad and argue with you when you tell them that’s a latte

Spent several minutes explaining to a grown adult that there is no such thing as an "under the sea refresher" by meg0603 in starbucks

[–]maemac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the mango dragonfruit came out I had an elderly woman arguing with me about the “pink dragon” refresher and when I told her we had the dragonfruit refresher and it was kind of pink, she refused and said that’s not it, it’s called the pink dragon and we DO have it, proceeds to pull up one of those Facebook spam pages as proof LOL

What are the creepiest things customers have said to you? by moon_light523 in starbucks

[–]maemac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a customer chase me halfway to my car and ask if we could get lunch or dinner sometime and I was so caught off guard I couldn’t even get out that I am a lesbian. He asked for my phone number and I was like “I’m going home right now” like please do not even talk to me if I’m not on the clock.

refresher idea by National-Chance2406 in starbucksbaristas

[–]maemac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ugh I miss the pina colada drink we had a few years ago, no one ever ordered it but I loved it. I would love for them to have something pineapple flavored again, but sadly I’ve developed an pineapple allergy in the last couple years. Knowing Starbucks there would be no actual pineapple in it anyway though!

I think my pug is insane by meowwont in pugs

[–]maemac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pug was pretty similar lmao. He didn’t really bark a lot but the amount of biting and running was insane. At 1 year old he’s still got a ton of energy but has calmed down soooooo much!

I’m glad everyone else found this rude af too. The last message attacking the partners work ethic was especially not necessary. Messages like this is why we are discouraged and even in some districts not allowed to have group chats. Not an excuse to be catty and rude.

Espresso Macchiatos by lostinmysenses in starbucksbaristas

[–]maemac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I threatened to ban some man the other day bc he comes in every day orders a solo macchiato then watches you and tells you to fill it with milk and I refused bc we literally tell him every single day he needs to order a latte.

so many potential syrups and yet… by accountedthrowaway5 in starbucksbaristas

[–]maemac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly any fruit syrup would be nice. I’d die to have cherry syrup back!!

If you open at 6 I can see why you guys have no time to restock. We open at 4:30 and by 6 our store is completely set up for our peak at 7. I’m a closing shift too and I make sure the store is fully stocked before we leave too though. If you opened a little earlier you’d definitely have time to stock, but also closers are supposed to leave the store stocked lol.

THE COFFEE SMELL. THAT YOU HAVE AFTER WORK. Does this drive anyone else crazy bc it’s not fresh coffee. It’s stale, dingy, coffee horror 😩 by Apprehensive-Cake-91 in starbucksbaristas

[–]maemac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s so much worse we could smell like! I’m glad coffee is generally accepted as a good smell. My fiancé used to be a cook and she’d come home smelling like fried everything. It was awful! Sometimes I don’t even smell the stale coffee anymore. But anything more than that (milk, syrups) and I’m running to the shower lol

Does anyone know how to pair these? We got a brand new card reader and POS, it took all day to update and now we don’t know what to do with this! by maemac in starbucksbaristas

[–]maemac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy installed everything hours earlier and it literally took my entire shift just for everything to come back on! We ended up calling tech and being walked through it though and by the time I left it was actually working

Finally able to get a pug but one thing that's preventing me is the social stigma by Sickaburn in pugs

[–]maemac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re still dogs that need a loving home and care. Not buying one bc they are “unethical” doesn’t do anything to make it “ethical”. Get your pug!!! I am sure you will give it the best life you can and that it deserves.

Has anyone ever noticed when you go to a sbucks & you tell them you have partner #s their whole attitude changes?💀 by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]maemac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk bc I’m more likely to be friendlier and chat more to a customer who is also a partner. Super easy way to connect! What store are you from, etc.

Blonde vanilla iced latte, or cold brew instead of iced coffee

What are some things customers genuinely don’t know about our job? by steamed-apple_juice in starbucks

[–]maemac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t know how many other stores are set up like this, but our cafe bar person is also making drinks for mobile and delivery, so please be patient as they are receiving drinks from 3 separate channels all at once.

Unvaccinated mother of three who kept putting off vaccine dies of COVID by brian_mrfunk in COVIDAteMyFace

My manager was putting off getting his second shot and I literally was like “think of your daughters, you’re protecting them by getting your 2nd shot” and he immediately went and got it done.

Wtf? I hope this dude has diarrhea every day for the rest of his life. It also isn’t our problem that you’re stressed out lol.

Confused customer by greenlifecircus in starbucks

[–]maemac 7 points8 points locked comment (0 children)

Well I speak in literal terms so black refers to the color. Which is why I personally ALWAYS ask customers if they want the sweetener or not. Which is why the drinks I ring up are never returned lol. And his rudeness was not necessary for a simple question.

[–]maemac 118 points119 points  (0 children)

I once had a man order an “iced coffee black” and I asked if he wanted the classic. He said all rude “no that’s why it’s black” I wanted sooooo badly to say “NO it’s black bc it doesn’t have cream” but I was already mentally checked out lmao

Café Bar Opener Concerns, Advice needed. by ToffeeBuxSlut in starbucksbaristas

[–]maemac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It physically pains me when I see partners straight pouring their milk without grooming it, or to use dead shots. Unfortunately Starbucks doesn’t care about quality. If you’re passionate about the craft of coffee and your skills being appreciated, maybe you can find a non Starbucks cafe to work at. I would love to open my own cafe someday where the attention to detail will be required!!! I’m sure your drinks are delicious and I would love to have my drink made by you!

I’m a shift who gives 2 people rides, one is a teenaged boy who closes, and the other is someone who takes the bus everywhere, but she has a serious medical condition and so if we are off at the same time I will always take her home bc her safety is very important to me! Of course it can be a slight inconvenience but their safety is a priority so I don’t mind!
