Did anyone else happen to have them liked on the almighty facebook and catch their "Starbucks Secret Menu" Post?
https://www.facebook.com/postsecret
It now has an image listing them all out... Great.
Most of them are blended.
I can see it now,
"Welcome to Frappy Happy Hour! What can I get for you?"
"That one thing.. on the secret menu.. umm.. Oreo?"..
"Ma'am, I have no idea how to make that, its not a real drink so theres not a recipe."
"Why the hell not?"...
"...=.=;"
I'll either play dumb to make them look dumb, or acknowledge it and type in every modifier. Usually that turns them on their heels.
Idiot: "Wait, I have to PAY for the toffeenut, caramel drizzle, AND the chips? ISN'T THIS A REAL DRINK?"
Me: "...no."
Bahahaha. My plan is complete. I love adding on a modifier. Just feels like the money rolling in.
"Wait, Why am I being charged for frapp chips and matcha?"
"Because that's what you ordered and there's not one button for it because we don't have SECRET drinks. =.=" and then give them the dead pan stare.
if you go on tumblr the daily what posted it too. :l
i was like, **** lolz
OMG I actually had a lady come in today with one of those lists on her iPhone and was like "I want that one!" pointing to the "Nutella Frappucino" and of course when I charged her for adding the Hazelnut to the Mocha Frap she flips her lid... for some reason I doubt she'll be the last psycho I deal with because of those stupid 'secret' menus....
I've never had to deal with this "secret menu" until some guy and girl came through DT. They said so...what's the best frappucino on your secret menu? Um...what secret menu? They tried to act like it was some actual thing like In n Out's not so secret menu. I said I don't drink frappucinos and they sounded so sad.
Someone was straight up googling it WHILE IN LINE one morning and ordered something and my sm deadass just laughed in his face an said yeah right. It was the best.
That secret menu says that french vanilla= toffee nut & vanilla flavoring. Is that accurate? I thought french vanilla was made from hazelnut and vanilla syrups.
i think you're right 2hot. further proof that yahoo sux.
or postsecret or whatever.
French Vanilla does not exist. That is all.
lol, love the comments... real names, pictures attached... can we do some kind of national decaf list for these people?
I've got a couple secret drinks I'd love to make just for them... Caramel Urnex Frappuccino, Cleaning Tablet Mocha, Iced Passion Sanitizer Tea, Dirty Rag Juice Chai Latte. Try one today with our Freshly Dropped Very Berry Coffee Cake! I'm talking about you, Alexea! ;D
Funny you mention Alexea. I saw her comments and wanted to slap her. By far the worst person posting on there.
Who is Alexea?
@Unsweetened lmfao. That's wrong on so many levels.
My plan is to do that sort of furrowed brow, head cocked to the side look. After about a minute of this, they will give up and just order a caramel frapp. or some other crap. I figure not everyone is going to have that menu readily available when they order but they'll try to make me remember.
Them: "You knowwww. That secret drink that tastes like an oreo."
Me: "I having no idea what you're talking about."
I make a really big fuss if a customer mentions "secret menu." I promise to ring up every additional modifier so they pay out their butt for the pain and suffering they cause me.
And I used to have respect for PostSecret. No more!
Lol at dirty rag juice chai
The comments section delivered! Every single annoying response imaginable is there. But why the f would PostSecret post this? Shouldn't they be focusing on people confessing their fetish for dipping their balls in mocha sauce instead?
All I know is Dear god, We are angry. xD
Look at all the baristas on their cursing PostSecret. lol
Oh fk me, there's no way I'm making those things unless the customer is super pleasant, tips, has the ingredients written down for me already, and is ready and willing to pay for all the modifiers. "Secret" menu, what a load of crap.
ah is this a joke!? I'd love for someone to come in and order that **** and let them know I have no idea what they be talking about.
A customer mentioned "secret menu" today, and I flipped out on him. He couldn't run away fast enough.
oh man so according to the comments we're lazy **** for not adding modifiers. says someone who has never worked there & has obviously done every bit of work given to her with a big **** eating grin after tirelessly going over it because she's oh-so-diligent, & there has never been a bad day for her she has never been tired or fed up, nope! shame on us for being miffed at needlessly excessive blended beverages!
if it's busy & you just drop the name, "i'm sorry, a what? we don't have that."
if it's not too bad & you ask for it including the ingredients, i'd be more then happy too. it's silly & it'll cost you something, but the java chips aren't across the store.
also: why is the blended strawberry lemonade even there haha
i wonder how many people asked for an OMG SECRET BSL.
T_T;; If you go by this crap even dunkin donuts(my new home) has a secret menu. UH ERMM IM GOING TO ADD TWO FLAVORS TO MY LATTE AND MAKE IT A SECRET LATTE LOL OMGZ THE DUNKINS CAN'T MAKE A RASPBERRY MOCHA(we can)!!!!
Wow. I just remembered one of the other shifts showing me this yesterday. If a customer ever asks for a drink from this menu, I'll pretend I don't know what they're talking about, ask them if they remember the ingredients (hopefully they do), and ring it up accordingly. Some of them will pay, some don't. For those don't won't and wine, I will explain to them that the drink they're requesting isn't on the menu, so all I'm doing is ringing it up according to what you want.
I can recommend something something similar to what you want. (It may not cost as much, but I'll still get the safe haha)
Of course, right after this was posted, I had a Secret Menu experience today. Had a customer order some weird version of a "Captain Crunch" Frappuccino today, tall sized.
She was ordering it from her phone since a friend had texted the order to her. Apparently she was doing some drink run or something.
Customer: "I'll have a... (stares at phone) tall Captain Crunch frap. Four pumps caramel, three pumps hazelnut, two pumps toffee, extra drizzle, four scoops of chips, and soy." She took a deep breath, widened her eyes, and looked up at me.
Me (ringing in the order): "Alright, got it." It was in the high $6 or so for the drink.
Customer (widened eyes at the price: It's supposed to be $4.01...?
She showed me the text. Her friend listed out all those ingredients and had the audacity to say something like "they like to charge extra, but make sure it's only $4.01 for the strawberries and creme." If I could have decaffed this monster of a person, I would have. I felt bad charging the middle-man the full price, but figured she'd get revenge on her friend for making her pay out of pocket for the rest of the drink later. The friend had only given her $4.01 for the trip.
@NoWater: What a nice friend. A tall strawberries and creme frappuccino would cost $4.63 in NYC.
Well, (because I can get away with this) at my store I could get that up to almost $9.
Tall STCF: $4.15
Add Syrup x4: $2.40
Add Chips: $0.60
and just for fun, Add Soy: $0.70
Tax: 8.25%
The look on customers face: priceless.
:D
When people ask me what's on the secret menu, I tell them that starbucks has transparency in their menu, and that we can modify any drink to a customer's liking, and I always end by saying, "so the secret menu... is your imaginaaaaaaation!" and I do a little hand gesture.
Once, my coworker Portia was helping this heifer who came up to the counter and barked, "I wanna Oreo shake!" Portia, genuinely trying to figure out if she wanted a DCCF or a JCF asked if it was brown, and the girl said, "I GUESS it could be brown. You know though, right? You work here!"
She has henceforth been referred to as La-a (pronounced "ladasha") and gets all sorts of fücked up drinks.
I had a customer ask me about the "starbucks secret menu" a few months ago, and I just gave him a blank stare. I mean seriously, why do people want to make our job harder?
Today, this girl ordered a "cookies and creme frappuccino" and explicitly mentioned the "Starbucks secret menu" with a big smile on her face. I went on a loud and long rant about how stupid Post Secret and Yahoo were for making up bullsh!t menu items for Starbucks and making our jobs that much more difficult.
She wound up getting a regular CRF. Dry Sharpie 1, customer 0.
Speaking of postsecret and Starbucks... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ksPNIlvllUg/T5xRR6171pI/AAAAAAAAS6A/Wm9vL_Dq93o/s1600/noweknow.jpg
Customers are lame.
Yes, I saw the secret menu on my feed. Reading the comments was hilarious...thank God I haven't had any obnoxious customers ask me about the secret menu, but I have noticed people are starting to order Strawberry Lemonades. There were months where I never even had to make one.
