Come on... I know you want it... </p> <p>Honestly, I think it's best to see the customer as an animal, and treat him accordingly. </p> <p>Speak! Speak boy! What do you want, a... frappuccino? Caramel frappuccino... grande?? That's a good boy! Who's gonna pay me $4.98?? You are! Good boy! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38476 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 00:51:49 +0000 FUsbux 38476@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>OMG i literally held up a short cup and a tall cup because this moron kept saying "small" even after I showed each size!!!

Peeps on cell gets treated even worse but they never notice cause they never get off the phone during the entire time. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38334 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 22:43:05 +0000 Dry Sharpie 38334@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>If I could cockpunch a customer each time I had to ask them 1) what size 2) hot or iced 3) sweetened or no sugar 4) with whipped or without...<br /> They'd die from the beating. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38330 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 22:37:13 +0000 GaveYouDecaf 38330@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>^ We used to have that system only less than a year at work. Finally someone got smart and realized it was an issue. Or maybe they just got less stvpid. Or maybe they're 12 year old kid pointed it out to them during "take your kid to school day."</p> <p>Rick, I totally agree. I hate it when I have to spend half an hour with a customer helping them decide if they want a hot, iced or blended drink, what kinda flavor, a size, etc, etc, etc. Then the magical gold card appears. I feel like punching them. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38319 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 22:05:33 +0000 Unsweetened 38319@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I hate customers who can't decide which size... it's not that difficult. And why can't you make that decision in line?? </p> <p>We have a different register system also... when people change their mind, I have to void out the whole transaction, fill out paperwork, and I get in trouble if I do that too many times... even if it's the customers fault. Seriously. I get a little **** off lol. Make up your mind, people! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38300 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:38:21 +0000 Dry Sharpie 38300@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>The worst part is when they're acting like they've never ordered a drink at Starbucks before, and then pull out their gold card.

It's very annoying especially since Simphony doesn't allow you to shut off the receipt printing at store level. Corporate shuts it off at at 2PM and your register ends up getting inundated with unwanted receipts. What a waste of paper! So much for the "green- minded" mentality! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38259 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:35:32 +0000 Dry Sharpie 38259@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>"Do you want a receipt?"</p> <p>It's always the customers you don't expect who want their receipt. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38257 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:31:24 +0000 Javalvr 38257@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>How about, "Sweetened or Unsweetened"?

Mary."<br /> Dry Sharpie: "Do you want it hot or iced?"<br /> Mary: "Huh? Oh sorry, it's Mary."<br /> Dry Sharpie: "NO MARY!"

I can' remember how many times I have asked them for the size again and they respond condescendingly, like I'm the biggest idiot ever because I don't know what size regular is. </p> <p>and the whole size things is just as annoying. often times I just repsond like "Sir, I understand you want and extra hot decaf vanilla latte but I need to know what size to make it in." and then I enjoy hearing them fumble over their words as they try to apologize. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38244 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 12:54:17 +0000 theoneyoulovetohatexo 38244@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>at least he didn't say "regular"! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38243 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 11:48:41 +0000 TrentaSTFU 38243@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>happens to me at least 3 times a shift </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=2971#post-38242 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 11:46:43 +0000 shakennotstirred 38242@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>We have a drive thru at our store and I swear is I had a nickel every time this happened:</p> <p>"Hi welcome to Starbucks what can I get for you?"<br /> "Can I get an extra hot cafe latte?"<br /> "Alright, what size?"<br /> "An EXTRA HOT, cafe LATTE!"<br /> "Yes..... what size?"<br /> "Oh, medium." </p>
