I hear stupid shxt all day long, day in & day out, I'm becoming imune..
Although today I heard someone ask for some of that there "Cassy Chello" (Casi Cielo)...
But I live in the south, and there are a lot of Banjo playin' idiots around, who only get to town, every so often...

Super Chai - every afternoon a regular gets a grande, 5 pump, soy, no water, extra hot, no foam chai. He announces his presence with "Super Chai!"
Green Monster - lemonade, matcha, classic syrup. Wretched.
A woman came in recently: "You know this drink the Turtle?" "...No, what is that?" "Never mind."

Bitter_Latte, we call any size nonfat, decaf latte a "Why Bother? Latte" :)
We have this old guy that usually comes inside (today he came through the DT) and announces "I want my thing!" (DT - "It's Bruce, I want my thing!")
Me: Ok, what is that?
Him: "Mocha..."
(I bite) Me: "Oh, right. Frappuccino. Anything else?"
Him: (slowly) Onnnnnnne shot of decaf, noooooonfat milk..."
Me: "Ok, anything else?"
Him: "Noooooo whiiiip..."

some one yesterday asked for a mocha frappucino freeze with coolwhip and caramel on top. i haaaaate when people say frappy. and we have this one customer who comes in thru drive and doesnt wait for us to greet him just yells "THIS IS JOE, GIMMIE A TALL ONE!" by which he means a venti 6 shot of espresso over ice, extra extra ice, a splash of soy and whip. And if theres a new person who's never helped him before or someone from another store and they say im sorry i dont know what your drink is, he gets mad and tells them ask someone else whos there, they know who i am, and drives away. sometimes i pretend like im new and im the only one there and make him tell me what his drink is. oh and unless its a girl handing him his drink, he says its not right and we need to remake it.

"Kelly Special" - Let's just say she developed diabetes (probably pregnancy related, but y'know) and was drinking caffeine while pregnant (no one knew she was pregnant until she popped one out).

"I remember seeing once about how someone had ordered a Grande Breve. And finally that happened at my store. During a rush, this lady came in and she was like "Let me get a Venti SFV Breve" and me and my partner are like.... Breve what? and she goes "Just a breve!" so my partner asks "Do you want just steamed milk or a latte?" and she stupidly looked around and asked for a latte then went back to texting. "
In the non-Starbucks world it's actually called a Breve, or a Cafe Breve (like Cafe Latte or Cafe Mocha). It's a variation of a latte. Half-n-half is NOT breve, it's half-n-half. It's the combination of the half-n-half with the espresso that makes a breve.
This has always bothered me.
Similarly Mocha is the combination of coffee and chocolate flavors, thus 'Mocha' sauce would ideally be referred to as chocolate sauce. It's not Mocha until it is integrated with the coffee.

"I want a 12 OZ, grande, double, iced coffee, no color, no flavor"
"I'm sorry sir, what size did you want?"
"12 OZ grande double damnit!"
"So you want 12 or 16 OZ?"
'I SAID a 12 OZ DOUBLE!"
"So you want two shots of espresso in you 12 OZ iced coffee with no classic syrup in it? Is that right sir?"
"Espresso?! NO I WANT A 12 OZ DOUBLE ICED COFFEE!"
"Sure sir, I'll just get that started now."Posted 10 months ago # -
Guy comes in and orders a grande iced and light. I finally get it out of him he wants a iced grande unsweet, light milk, iced coffee. Apparently in New York they know what it is. That's nice buddy, feel free to stay up there.

"Trunta"
"Vintage size mocha flappuccino." She says this every time and has been coming in for over a year. I would cry troll if she weren't do obviously idiotic.

I have to say, though, one of our regulars came up with a name that I kinda like...she always gets a dark roast red eye and calls it "a shot in the dark". That one makes me laugh

Annabelle, that one's not new. A lot of people say that.

That was the first time I've ever heard it!

I'm pretty tolerant of customer ridiculousness but 'artesian' instead of 'artisan' will forever grate on my nerves. I wonder how they think the word artesian would even apply to a sandwich.

@trentasquatch
Ugh! "flappuccino"... of our very few regulars, one of them always says this. I think it's a speech impediment, but it sounds so gross... like something coming out of your @ss.

Someone today said "I'll take a Venti yellow eye.. Thats 5 shots." and I was like "I'm glad you told me 5 cause I wouldn't have known otherwise. We only really recognize red eye and black eye" and she goes "ACTUALLY I've been coming to Starbucks for 20 years and it's always been yellow eye and every Starbucks knows that. Except for london for some reason." to which I replied "and apparently our location." YEESH!

what a nutjob. are we naming things based on disease now? because yellow eyes makes me think of jaundice.
i want someone to ask for a pinkeye.

one of my PARTNERS who's been with starbucks for 5 YEARS still says half the drinks wrong. with her it's always a "ventay" and "traintay". she also uses the term "americana" instead of americano. and the new refreshers? they have "HIGHbiscus".

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has heard "flappuccino" hahaha

We have this older woman who comes in and asks for a 'peppermint mocha cream-base with whip', which I just assume is a frappucino. Every time I'm working the front and I see her walk in I dread having to take her order just because she orders so annoyingly and the fact that she'll order five different drinks that way.
Posted 10 months ago # -
it's not "HIGHbiscus"? I must have been saying it wrong then :(
Posted 10 months ago # -
"Mocha **** crumble" it wasn't said to me, but a coworker. Also, I cannot stop laughing about the brown eye :)

Someone today asked for a "white wizard"...anyone know what that is? They did not explain it to us
