Dear people of the world:
Don’t buy someone a gift card to a coffee shop when they don’t drink coffee.
It makes my life more difficult than it already is.
Remember next time you're in Starbucks, if you are...
the "surprise me" customer
Fuck New Years Resolutions
Come on. Be serious. You’re going to drop it in a month. So stop asking me “What flavors are sugar free?”
“Can that be skinny?”
“Are any of these muffins low calories?”
Cuz I’ll tell you. We have bottled water over there and bananas, apples, and oranges. If that’s not appetizing to you, have fun with your attempt at a diet.
A woman yesterday asked for a 2 shot Americano in a medium cup. And then asked me to fill it only half way with water.
I almost wanted to tell her “no. But I can put it in a small cup that would be the same size.” but I didn’t.
Because as soon as I gave it to her, I knew exactly what she was going to do.
dump the whole pitcher of 2% in her drink to fill it up and make it a...

zombiekarah:
Customer: Excuse me, can I have a medium espresso in a small cup?
My manager: So you want two shots of espresso in a small cup?
Customer: Yes!
Manager: You know that’s just two shots of straight espresso, right? Is that what you want?
Customer: Yes, that’s what I want.
Manager: Would you like any cream in that?
Customer: Just a little milk
Me: /makes medium espresso with a...
Last night was "Christmas Eve" Eve.
It was slow, and we were all anxious to leave.
Around an hour before close or so, three girls about college age came in.
The first girl orders her drink and is asked to sign the receipt. She looks up at her friends and mouths the word “tip?”
to which they shook their head ‘no’.
That was really lame.
truth is trickiest: Do Not Ask Your Barista if... →
misstristin:
Do not ask your barista if your drink is really nonfat. It is usually made correctly. Unless you have reason to believe that a mistake was made, you should not ask your barista to confirm your drink all over again. She is greatly annoyed by your doubt in her abilities. And anyway, two percent…
There’s a lot here, but a good read.
thanks for the tip: Tall glass of espresso →
annoyingbeasties:
Customer: “Can I have a tall espresso shot? Like, a big one?”
Me: “So, would you like an Americano? Or a latte? Or, like, several shots?”
Customer: “Yeah.”
Me: “Uhm, which one?”
Customer: “Whatever, a big espresso.”
Me: “Sir, that’s not a real drink. Do you want water with your espresso, or a double, or a latte?”
Customer: “Yeah.”
Me: “That was three questions.”

Lil Ol Lady: Do you have 1%?
Me: Sorry, we have skim or 2%.
LOL: Oh. That's fine.
Me: So, skim or 2%?
LOL: Yes. That's okay.
Me: .....
Dude guys. This shouldn't be so difficult
Barista: Did you get your muffin?
Customer: yeah. peach cobbler muffin.
Barista: no. did you get your muffin yet?
Customer: oh. no.
You're working??
annoyingbeasties:
Customer: “You’re working today?? On a Sunday? That’s terrible.”
Me: “Yeah, I don’t like it either. That’ll be $11.75, please.”
Customer: “Terrible. You shouldn’t have to work on Sundays!”
Me: “Mmhmm, someone has to be here to ring you up, right?”
Customer: “…”
Yes. Put that in your privileged pipe and smoke it. Smoke it good and hard.

Long order.
So this douche-clown came in last night and ordered 16 extra-picky drinks, right? He pays for each one as a separate transaction, and tips 42 cents.
The whole time he’s standing there ordering like:
“The next one…is a venti…white mocha frap light…extra ice, extra shot….and blended twice…and the name is Caroline..*hands me money, I give him the change*…The next...

bloodstreamm:
People who come to Starbucks, get a cold drink, & then complain about how cold it is. What the literal fuck is wrong with you?
Me: Okey dokey. Here's your change.
Customer: Oh, it was 12.02 right?
Me: Uhh... I think? Why?
Customer: I gave you 22.02. I get ten back.
Me: Oh! Yes. There's 10 here. (I have a five and five ones in my hand)
Customer: Uhh... Oh. I was trying to get rid of my ones.
Me: Well I was trying to get a tip. :|

pet peeves of people when they order:
“i need…” no you don’t. you dont NEED anything except a bottle of water or some good nourishment. definitely not that large vanilla whole milk iced latte youre getting with an extra shot and some caramel sauce thrown on for good measure.
“i just want…” this is always followed up by some ridiculous order. you overused the...
A Girl Who Thought She Was Clever.....
So I work at a Starbucks in a hospital. It gets very busy at times, but when it gets close to closing time, things tend to die down.
So one night this girl came and said “My mom dropped her drink upstairs…it was an iced tall caramel macchiato.” I happened to be writing something down, so I didn’t look up since she wasn’t talking to me, she was talking to my...
So...
Tip jar is NOT synonymous with free money for you jar.
If you ever do that again I’m going to chop your hand off.
Today @ Bob's...
Snob Who Doesn't Tip: You make the best cappuccinos, babe.
Me: So, you really think you can just call me 'babe?'
SWDT: Well... yeah.
Me: Then put some money in my tip jar so I know it's real.
Trainwreck: The Kinds of People That Order @... →
trainwreck:
1. The fussy and particular. The ones who order so specifically and obnoxiously that they are actually costing themselves double the amount of money, if they just read the menu they could get double the amount for the same price as their custom bitch fest.
2. The Starbucks drinkers. The ones who don’t actually like coffee, but likes the act of pretending and taking photos of...
Calling all barista
labelleduboudoir:
So I’m doing a new blog with my sis’ and I need barista!!! We’ll be doing barista’s profile! I’m super excited about this by the way! So feel free to send me a message here : appreciationcoffee AT gmail dot com
Pass around to any barista you know who would be interested !
Thank you much!
I’m always in support of new blogs with fun ideas.
When I say, "THANK YOU" really loudly as you walk...
It’s a not so subtle hint that YOU forgot to say thank you… (or make eye contact, smile, tip, or anything else remotely polite).

winstonarmbruster:
I’m sorry, but people who claim to be “addicted to coffee” annoy the hell out of me. As a former starbucks barista I feel that my stance is justified. I can’t tell you how many times I had a chirper twenty something girl walk into my store and comment on how “addicted to coffee” they are and how they “can’t live without it”. I hate to be that guy but you’re not addicted to...
Anonymous asked: this is embarrassing.. but i get a free bottle every time someone buys one at mangoaff725(dõt)com and these things work better than crack. i friggin lost 15lbs in 2 weeks.. try them. they seriously work like crazy.
Don't look back in anger. At least not today.:... →
iwishiwereabird:
As some may know, starbucks has a “secret” menu. The only people who really order these “secret” drinks are annoying people who think they’re super cool because they know about them. Whatever.
So one of the “secret” drinks is an undertoe. It’s a layered drink. Syrup, cold half & half, shots of espresso and whipped cream. Basically, it’s an easy way to choke down two...
Rude.
Me (working the drive-thru): I have your Tall Chai. Need any napkins or anything?
Customer (taking the drink): Yes, could I get one of those green, stopper things?
Me: Oh, sorry ma'am, we're actually out of the splash sticks.
Custumer: *blank stare*
Me: I'm really sorry. I can give you a short straw; it should do about the same thing.
Customer: Never mind, I guess I'll just fucking spill it all over myself. *starts to drive away*
Me: Enjoy the rest of your day.
