Ah yes, that reminds me.. I was a bystander waiting to mark a cup, not personally dealing with this nutjob but listening in anyway.
Barista: Hi what can we get for you?
Customer: Can you tell me where there is a Starbucks around here?
Barista: *looks around, looks at apron, looks at logo above head* This is Starbucks, ma'am.
Customer: No, I want a REAL starbucks! This one is licensed. I wanted a corporate store!
Barista: Ma'am, we're not licensed. We are in fact corporate.
Customer: I'm from Seattle, and I know all the big wigs from corporate.. back at home my Starbucks knows my name and everyone knows my drink by heart. I always get a venti white mocha with an extra shot and blah blah blasgcehgj...*5 minute-long list of pointless modifiers*
(a line is forming behind her at this point)
Barista: Well, we can make that here for you if you'd like.
Customer: No. *walks away*So we help a few more customers, then the freak comes wandering back. This time it's a different barista who had not heard the first ordeal to know better. We had no time to warn our fellow partners, so out of the other barista's mouth came those wretched 7 words, "Hi, what can I get for you?"
The second barista and this must-be-senile freak go through the whole "Where is starbucks?" thing again.. except this time she actually orders a drink at the end.Barista: Okay, that will be $4.25.
Customer: *grumble* Back in Seattle, everyone knows me there!
Barista: ..Okay!
Customer: I never paid for a damn thing in my life back there!
Barista: Okay! That'll be $4.25.Finally she paid and left and the last we saw of her was when she was wandering the parking lot like a lost puppy for 20 minutes.

some white trash looking woman came in the other day, pointed to the coffee travelers and asked "can you put cappuccinos and **** in there?" i was just like no, you can't put cappuccinos in there.

that lady clearly didn't know what a cappuccino was hahaha. she probably thought it was the "cappuccinos and ****" machine at the gas station where you push a button and this milky overly sweetened coffee splatters out.

a mid-twenties lady came in today and was like "how many calories are in a tall nonfat latte?" so I pulled out the nutrition information and told her that there were 100. she was like "OH THAT'S IT??? I thought there were like FIVE hundred! hahaha thanks!"
500 calories??? in 12 oz drink???
.................

"Hi what can I get for you?"
"yeah uhh I like this thing it's like a mocha, but it has whipped cream and its like one of those frappuccinos"
"oh a mocha frappuccino? no prob"
"uhh I'm not sure. its cold and blended. You know, like a frappuccino with mocha"
"yes sir, mocha frappuccino"
the guy still seems quite concerned that he may not have given me enough info to work with. as if 'frappuccino with mocha' and 'mocha frappuccino' cannot possibly be the same thingPosted 2 years ago # -

I had a lady come in with a friend. Her friend knew exactly what she wanted, an ice coffee with cream. Simple. Then, the lady steps up and I say "What can I do for you?" She looks up at the menu, down at me, and just has a look of complete confusion on her face. "Well," she says, "I was here a while ago, and I got something that didn't have caffeine. It had chocolate and foam...and it was really good." I was like "Ok...was it hot or cold?" She looks around, and then says "Well, I think it was hot." *Really? You can't remember what temperature it was?* So I way "Ok, was it a hot chocolate?" "No." "Was it a decaf mocha with no whip?" "No, it didn't have coffee in it." Then I explained that it was decaf. Finally I gave up after about ten minutes, and made her a decaf grande no whip mocha and handed it to her. "OHHH this is it! See it doesn't really taste like coffeee..."
*FACE PALM* "Have a nice day." I ended up writing it down for her so she could remember.

I was selling a lady a frappuccino and she asked how much. I told her $3.72. She said "well, I've got $3.40" I said "umm.. it's $3.72". She handed me the $3.40, took her drink, and left.

A customer asked if she could have a cup of princess palace coffee...
...turns out she wanted pike place... lol.
I get the dumb looks when I say "blended" too. Their faces are priceless, it's like the wheel are turning, they are trying to figure it out, but they just can't grasp it. Then you say, "you know, like a SHAKE!" and swirl your hand around and you can practically see the light bulb turn on on top of their head.
I have had a lot of dumb questions, but I try to block them out so I can't remember some of the worst right now.

The hand swirling motion gets me through the day :)

"what's the difference between the coffee and the creme frappuccinos?"
"well...the coffee frappuccinos have coffee in them... and the creme ones are creme based...which means they don't have any coffee"
"is the vanilla bean frappuccino coffee based?"
"no it's creme based unless you want a cafe vanilla frappuccino"
"ok can I get the vanilla bean decaf?"
"it is decaf"
"but you just said it was coffee based"
"no, the regular vanilla bean frappuccino is creme based and has no coffee. if you want a cafe vanilla we can make it with a coffee base and the vanilla flavoring"
"but why would I want it with coffee? I just said I wanted it decaf"Posted 2 years ago # -
Stupidest question I've ever heard: "Can you make my frappuccino without ice? When I drink it to fast it gives me a brain freeze."
I really didn't quite know what to say at first, I just wanted to kick her for being so stupid.

Someone might have already posted this, but a stupid question I get A LOT (at least twice a day) is "What flavors of frappuccino do you have?" What makes the question stupid is that people ask it while they're staring at the menu panel devoted to frappuccinos.

Lady walks in. She's the only customer in the store.
"I wanna use the rest of this" She proceeds to hand me a SmartWorld giftcard.
"This is where I am right?!"
"No this is Starbucks"
"Omigod!!! Really?!! Well I have one of those too." She hands me a Starbucks giftcard where it says in bold letters on the card Starbucks giftcard "That's you guys right??"
"Uh...yep"
She stares at the menu like an idiot for some time. "Frappuccinos are the blended ones right?" "Yep"
She pauses for at least one minute and says "I'll have a caramel coffee. Largest size. And a Mocha too. Large one."
Ok, whatever. So she sees the other girl pump all the syrup into the cups and pour the coffee. We hand the drinks to her and she says "Oh. I thought I was getting the blended one."
"No you just said Caramel Coffee after a long pause."
"Oh jeeeeez!!! Do I have to pay for the blended ones?!"
Normally I would make her but I had to get rid of this woman "No. Not today."
We make her her stupid frappuccinos and she finally leaves.THE STUPIDEST WOMAN OF ALL TIME

I would have made her pay for them so she would use up the gift card and never come back

A guy came in once and ordered two drinks, don't remember what they were, but he ordered a grande and a venti. I called them out and he asks, 'which is which.' They were the same. drink. I didn't even know how to respond.

Ok so this isn't really a dumb question just an all around dumb customer. Shift asked this lady if she wanted a sample of iced via and the lady goes on and says how she can't have coffee because she has a bad stomach... Yet orders a mocha frapp... And then says to me make sure you put the whipped cream on because it cuts the calories. I was like whatt. I tried telling her that its basically a blob of milk fat and she said no no its all air. Then I told her be that as it may we use vanilla syrup to sweeten it. She said well you have sugar free vanilla so use that. we told her that we don't use that. Then she tried to tell us that the other starbucks does it. They call it light whipped cream. I was like FACEPALM... The other starbucks is always the best one. I need to go there.

I had just made an oatmeal, and I had a bacon sandwich in the oven, followed by a multigrain bagel. I went to the counter and called out the oatmeal.
Me: I have an oatmeal with nuts and dried fruit at the counter.
Woman Standing Nearby: Oh, is this my bagel?
Me: It's an oatmeal, ma'am.
WSN (reaches for it): Oatmeal... Bagel?
Me: No, ma'am, it's an oatmeal cup with nuts and dried fruit.
WSN: Oh, not my bagel, then?The mind, it boggles.

1.) "Do I use the stairs to get upstairs?"
2. ) "What's bacon?"
3.) Pointing to an obviously black cup of iced coffee..."Does this have cream in it?"

I had a lady walk up to my register tonight and ask if we had any "Crasans".
"Crasans?" I say.
She says, "Yes! Crasans? Do you have Crasans? Ya know, the bread thing...""You mean Croissants?!?" I ask.
"Yeah. Whatever." she says as she hands me a $5 dollar bill...Posted 2 years ago # -
Oh yeah...also tonight, this rude, snooty girl walked up and demanded a Vanilla Bean Cream-ay.
I say, "You mean a Vanilla Bean Frappucino?"
Pointing to the Frappucino menu, she says "No. A Vanilla Bean Cream-ay."
"Oh, right...a Frappucino. No problem!"
She yells "Well, it says Cream-ay for some reason."
"Nope. It says Creme. You're just pronouncing it incorrectly..."
