This girl pulls up to the order box said she needed a sec to think, and literally passed out. Awesome.
Craziest thing a customer EVER did?...

@DS Why would you close that thread? Am I not allowed to reply to those idiotic statements? I don't understand how people can get upset over the word "hate", as if the word isn't in the upper right corner of this thread. It makes a lot of sense to come together over shared hatred of a subject and then become frustrated over someone using the same word in an exaggerated context. Hypocrisy at its finest.

I didn't close "Fat Kid." I am not the only person with the ability to close threads. Ignorance at its finest.

What a clever observation. You are right. I am uninformed about the ins and outs of this forum because I don't waste my time moderating. Thank you for a sarcastic reply to a genuine question. smfh.

You know what they say about the word "assume."

So you're insulting the both of us.

I closed fat kids.
It was turning into a bunch of repetitive nonsense.

I suppose you're right. There would be no practical value in me commenting anyway. All I'm saying is that I wasn't trying to offend anyone, but sometimes I feel like a handful of you just look for things to flip out over. That post didn't apply to anyone on this forum.

We don't really interfere that much, as there isn't much to moderate here. Most people get along and most of the arguments remain civil. It's just when we do decide to take a stance on something, it appears as though we're coming down on you guys. I assure you that isn't the case.
At the end of the day we're all starbucks partners alike, here for the same reasons.
Thanks for the feedback.

Personally, I think there's a big difference between "hating" a nameless, faceless, personless corporation you work for and "hating" an entire group of people based on their body size.

How do you "close" a topic? Lol
Posted 1 year ago # -
Exaggeration. Learn what it means. Who really has the time to hate a bunch of little kids? Hatred is a time consuming obsession. I don't care enough about people who I don't know to hate them. I didn't think I'd have to point this out but some of you really surprise me. I apologize for assuming that you all are capable of comprehending sarcastic overstatements. If I really hated fat kids I certainly wouldn’t begin a comment laughing and my post would have been passionate. I guess those weren’t obvious indications that I wasn’t being serious, right?

caramelfetish is right. 2hot, you have such a high and mighty attitude about this, but only now that you've been called out on how hateful you were being. just because your post didn't apply to anyone in this forum doesn't mean that it couldn't apply to any of us in our real lives. then you call out dry sharpie on insulting you and have the audacity to be equally, if not more, condescending in your posts to others? seriously?
now, back on the topic of this thread: my sm had to call the cops on one guy who was making a scene and wouldn't get out of the store last week. i don't know if this guy was homeless, but he was definitely on something. every time he comes in and waits in line you have to scream at him to take his order because otherwise he's staring off into space not paying attention. but in the middle of a fairly busy rush this cop came in and escorted him out. then the whole store quietly watched through the window as the guy tried to fight the cop as they were walking away. later he came back, stood outside the window, and made creepy and lewd gestures at us. we've had panhandlers come in that've had to be kicked out by my sm too. it's always super awkward and i've been worried for my safety more than once. luckily, my sm looks like a big tough guy, so no one really wants to mess with him.

A customer found a pair of underwear by our register. We suspected it was an older woman who came in before him...but don't know if she took them off or they where a spare pair in her massive purse.

Sadly, I don't get too many legit crazy people where I am... I guess they don't fly much.
But this... was the saddest and funniest customer I've had in a while. There was this old guy a few weeks ago in a wheelchair... who looked like he had just fought at the Alamo or something. Fringe coat, cowboy hat, long yellow leather gloves. He rolled himself up to counter... looked around a bit, then fell dead asleep--head went back, hat fell off... mouth wide open, snoring. I didn't even notice at first. He slept for like 20 minutes before TSA came over and woke him up. Then he ordered a frappuccino.

I've gotten a couple of crazies in my store - ever since I got promoted, oddly lol. One time a barely conscious man came in during a rush bleeding from his forehead and his finger nails as well, and starts moving the baskets. I ask him if he needs help and he tells me hes not going to steal anything. W/e. Got back to expediting since it was only three of us and he winds up just sitting down & passing out. I call the cops and they escort him out.
Just earlier this week another guy comes in to use our bathroom right before we close (we just opened the bathroom to customers; it was closed for a year and a half), and I wind up calling the cops to get him out. OMG when I smelled that bathroom afterward, it WREAKED. Literally. Apparently he was washing himself. It wasn't messy, but it just stunk.
I covered a shift with a coworker at another store last week, and of course we wouldn't exactly know where things are or how some things work. Well,their grinder is old, and for some reason the grinds were coming out flakey (don't know if it was supposed to be like that - the grinder was brown). Anyway, a guy came and got a tall dark. Couple of minutes later he gets a refill. Fine. Then he comes for another one but I asked him if he could wait a couple of minutes for fresh coffee. During those couple of minutes, I was trying to figure out their damn grinder. He started yelling at me saying he's been waiting for fresh coffee for 20 min (when he clearly just had two in that time). I refunded him his money just so we won't argue on the floor since my DM was in the store that day, and then he tipped me =___= wtf lol.
I have more stories lol smh.

Not at Sbux, but when I first started working when I was 14:
I was a bagger at Publix. Brand new store in a kinda redneck area that just got a golf course so it was on the upswing. Wierd mix of good 'ol country people and yuppies.Anywho, this one guy used to come in and I swear he never bathed. He reminded me of pigpen from Peanuts. His clothes were all various shades of brown, he had big crazy hair and a big crazy mountain man beard. Looked like he came staright out of a "holler" in NC.
And he stunk so bad we wanted to run. You could follow him around the store by smell alone. I had to bag his groceries a few times, and it was mouth breathing for a solid 10 minutes after he LEFT. Even with stealing air fresheners and spraying the whole cans after he left.He magically disappeared one day. Don't know if he was banned or what.

this weird guy came in and ordered an iced tea, but only had a $1.10 so i took his money and said I'd cover the rest. then, twenty minutes later, i see him on the ground outside on the patio. i run out and his eyes are open and he's having seizures. turns out he was an escapee from a mental institution. he had failed to take his medication for nearly 48 hours and so his body was virtually suffering from withdrawals.
this lady got upset at me because i refused to split her venti frappuccino into two tall cups so she took the venti cup and threw it at me. it missed. so i took the next drink i was making and threw it against the wall and told her to get the **** out. she tried to knock over the via shelf on her way out but it's like a thousand pounds so she just looked pathetic until she figured out she could swipe the boxes of via down.

We have extremely strange customers every once in a while. One memorable one was an odd older woman. She barely spoke audibly and was dressed in layers of ragged clothes. Once she left, we found drops of blood leading from the door to the counter, with 2 small pools of blood where she was standing at the counter.
Weird. Gross.
We had to let all of the PM partners know to not touch the mophead with their bare hands, just in case.

We have a homeless guy who will talk and swear at himself. He is always talking about his truck that the county won't let him have...he tells anyone and everyone this story. Weirdest thing was when he got a tall drip, im wringing him up when he grabs his crotch hard, looks down and says ”be quiet before I wack you in, the head” he then walks away....
He was banned from the store for stealing however, but I did here he was recently arrested, and put on a physc hold after he decided to do laundry by stripping down naked in a,laundromat and walking around talking to people.

Two women walk in, both in their 40's, professionally dressed. One of them was holding what I initially thought was her baby, but it turned out to be a doll.
They stood at the condiment bar, putting cream and sugar in about ten drinks. The entire time the one woman would not put the doll down-she held the damn doll with one hand while fixing drinks with the other, all the while talking to her friend.
They were parked right outside the door. I was like... couldn't she leave the doll in the car for 5 minutes?

@tall hot coffee
there was a regular at this higher class restaurant i worked in where there was a woman who would walk around with a cabbage patch kid. she and her husband came in regularly-- brought the child in a stroller. they put it in a high chair and had plates and cups for it, like it was real. apparently the wife had a miscarriage and she was so traumatized, that she was convinced that the doll was her actual child.
edit: i realize the phrasing "high class" sounds pretentious, but that's literally what they called it. it was nearly $200 per person, so we only got the snooty types, if you know what i mean.

I had a woman bring in two dogs on leashes barking at people. NOT service dogs btw. haha and when I asked her nicely to remove her dogs she got all mad and told me "well they let BABIES in here!!!" haha really?
Another guy bought some whole bean coffee, which I offered to grind for him. and he said no thanks, he'd thought he'd hit it really hard with rocks, or maybe cans to grind them. i just let him do whatever he wanted. haha

I had a woman come in last night wrapped in a bed cloth while riding a power scooter. Went into the bathroom and came back out wearing clothes. Apparently it's happened more than once.
