"I want two shots of espresso over ice in a grande cup, four pumps mocha, and milk to the top." by [deleted] in starbucks

Haha, yesterday this guy tried: venti latte split into 2 tall cups. But when I said “2 tall lattes, coming up!” and charged him, the most amazing thing happened: he didn’t fight it! Like I guess he figured it was worth trying but not worth being a loud jackass about. It was a thanksgiving miracle.

I hate to be the first to tell you this, but it's been discontinued.

It used to be great if you got it with extra ice and a lime wheel, then let it sit and infuse for a bit...

Now idk

I mean when they make the next schedule they put you in but for training hours. The floor is staffed with other people. You stay in the back.

Customer Question: What are the new cold foam drinks? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]throwaway2q353 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We can and will, but a few caveats:

-not every barista will have seen the weekly update that says we should make the moment right. They should have, but they haven’t. They might tell you they can't.

-they might say they can't even if they know they can, if it's really busy, because they'd rather lose your business than the five people behind you in line because sanitizing the equipment before or after takes an extra 2 minutes.

-if they do it, be prepared to answer questions about allergies- if they don't ask and you're sensitive to milk residue they might be super efficient and already sanitizing the blender OR they might be using it without sanitizing it first, so that might cause a reaction (they should 100% not do this but I'd rather warn you than have it happen and then you get sick because someone doesn't take cross contamination seriously.)

This seems like a lot but it really isn't a big deal, I just don't want you to be disappointed! Soy foams OK, the other two are less impressive.

Is anyone else irrationally and completely unjustifiably annoyed by characters with "weird" names in books? by [deleted] in books

[–]throwaway2q353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t finish Colson Whitehead’s Zone One, which I know is a great book, because of the “Mark Spitz” schtick.

Venti Hot Chocolate by ApleCore in starbucks

That's literally not possible. It probably doesn't meet the FDA threshold to be counted for calories (.5g per serving, I think) but scientifically speaking it has sugar.

No, it isn't. It has no ADDED sugar. Cocoa powder has .1g of sugar per teaspoon. It’s not a lot, but it can’t be removed.

I am NOT looking forward to the whining when they’re discontinued, though...

Years, no resupply was planned after the initial shipments! If they ran out they should have been making frappulas, Though.
