^lol..I'm guilty of that, not at SB though. In all fairness, for all they know there isn't anyone one there at all. That's why I've done it in the past.

...somebody has to be there.
A lot of things **** me off (okay, everything) but yesterday this kind of bothered me. Usually at work, I'm always the one stuck on register. Soon as I put my money in, bam whoever was there leaves. Or I make some drinks and then when I'm done and someone walks in, all of a sudden I'm the only one there. So I always end up on register even when I try to avoid it.
Yesterday we got kind of swamped. And most people ordered frapps yesterday. My CL walks in after her break and asks me "Why are you never on bar?" It got me upset because she made it sound like I'm the greedy one who just wants to take orders. I think she was just mad she and my other coworker got swamped. I bet if it was slow, she would have been happy there. People always want to do the least amount of work.
I love her though but sometimes you can love people but not love them as a coworker.
I also hate lazy coworkers. I was borrowed to another unit two days ago to close. That unit closes earlier than the rest of us so I had to come back to close my home unit....I come back and no one swept or mopped for me. The extra condiment bar was left open, there was no ice and no milk. I forgot what else wasn't done. I bet if I had done that....
I need a new job!

I agree Quackers... I usually open and hate when lazy coworkers close. We are a small store, 1 person (me lol) comes in 30 min before open to set up.
The other moning nothing stocked in fridge, whole store was dirty and disgusting, oven wasn't cleaned, airpots still had coffee sitting in them, grounds in coffee maker, etc... and every single freaking sauce on hot and cold bar had not been day dotted and had to be dumped and remade. Grrrr.

Omg.
Then they try and say you're the lazy one, right?

Actually I got lucky on this one. My manager (who is never there in the mornings) actually got there a few minutes before I did. OMG was she ****. She actually thanked me later for all my extra work that morning ;). It almost never works out that way, but that day it did. Oh and my lazy coworker called in sick for the afternoon shift. Pretty sure they knew they were gonna get reamed.

**** "CALI STYLE"
customer wants a vbf or something then goes
"can i get it cali style?"
"... i'm sorry, i'm not sure what that is."
proceeds to explain it's caramel drizzle in the cup.
i hate hate hate hate this stupid habit of making catchy, non-informative names of things. was it invented in california? are californians all caramel freaks? i googled cali style & got a fashion website. did they invent this? i don't even care just the fact that people are now calling it cali style pisses me off. as far as i know, it has nothing to do with california. people just want to ~sound cool~ instead of you know admitting to what they are actually doing which is ingesting too much caramel. so dear patrons, kindly **** off with your "cali style".Posted 11 months ago # -
Stagworks, IKNOWRITE?
It also annoys me when other coffee shops have things called "Teddy Bear" or "Fluffy Clouds" and people come in and want "something like it". That's nice, I have no idea what that is. I don't know why shops can't call a "mocha latte" what it is, instead of some ridiculous name.

@KDH: OMGYES. And then, when you ask them if they know what might be in a "Fluffy Cloud," they just stare at you blankly. "Well, is it hot or cold?" "I don't know. . ."

I hate when people use 6 packets of sugar and only wind up with 1 of them in your cup. HOW DO YOU MISS SO HARD? -.-
Also: When I'm doing a lobby slide and people idle by the condiment bar, or when it's obvious I am changing the trash and they put their crap down the hole anyway. Dummies.

A closer left a Skinny Mocha that expired at 5:30 am. A half an hour after we open. Thanks.

- Throwing trash in the hole when i'm obviously changing the can..
- Adults that think its acceptable to trash their table. My job? Serve you coffee.. Your moms job? Clean up after you.
- Have little old laddies reprimand me for not having enough grounds for their gardens. First come first serve!
-Trying to explain to tourists/gas station people that an ice capp is half milk and half foam.. but we have these things called frappuccinos. We're not Tims or Speedway!
-"HELLO" me at the DT speaker as soon as you pull up. That receives an instant "We'll be right with you" have fun waiting 5 minutes - ****.
-Customers that consistently try to break $100 bills even though you told them yourself freaking yesterday that you'll do it for them this time but we're not supposed to.
-Soccer moms that order venti Frapps and try to split them into 3 cups... 3 Jr. frosties @ wendy's = Same price. Go there. I'm not screwing up my inventory.
-"What do you have on pour over" in the middle of peak...

*Customer pulls up to the window
"Ok, that SKVL will be 4.27 today." -Me
*swipe card, go to hand out drink
"ummmmm, I thought I asked for that iced." -mean lady
"I'm sorry, I'll have her get you an iced one right away" -me
*talk to my bar, she starts a new one. I turn around to hand her the hot one to offer it for free
"no, I don't drink hot drinks. god, I thought I said iced." -mean lady
"I'm sorry, its really loud in here, sometimes mistakes happen" -me
"I thought they said iced when they repeated it back" -mean lady
"it was a simple mistake" -me
*after about 19 seconds, i hand her a new one, she acts like she had been waiting for christ to come or something.Posted 11 months ago # -
Whoa. It's actually a 'thing' to order xxcr now?
All the fat **** order extra extra extra extra extra YEAH-OK-I-GOT-IT caramel in northern california at least. I've seen a DT store that ordered the maximum allowable caramel slugs run out before on multiple occasions. It was 18 boxes.
I kid you not.

This lady the other day specifically ordered "a caramel frappuccino with enough caramel to make your hand hurt."
Unscrewed cap on that ****. I'm not hurting myself just for your diabetes in a cupPosted 11 months ago # -
Customers who order 4 different drinks with multiple modifiers each, then after it is rung up and totaled, ask you to recharge their Bux card so that they can pay for order that with Bux card. Then they want to yell at you for being slow because I have to void the sale, charge the card, THEN ring up the drink order... ugh
Posted 11 months ago # -
^
At that point, I just hit "Save Order", reload the card, and then just find the order.
No voiding, no reentering.

The fact that people are freaking out over this "Starbucks does not support the war" deal. Remember when this broke in 2004 and it wasn't even true then, or was it? I don't remember, but I think it is on the splash page. People are freaking out, they need to do research about it. Find the truth, go to a library for God's sake and find out the real story.

i was doing something with the pastry case when this man who i made a drink for just awhile ago comes over and just stands there. i look up at him and see he has a carafe in his hand.
me: oh, hi! is it empty?
man: (death stare)
me: um.. which one is it?
man: (death stare)
me: er...
i finally just reached out and took it from him then gave him a new one. it was coffee cream. what is so hard about saying "you're out of coffee cream"?Posted 11 months ago # -

I wish I could "save order".... unfortunately our licensed store registers don't have that option... Glad to know though that others do... I had wondered LOL

-When there's a line of 2 or more people, and someone has been waiting for at least a couple of minutes to place their order because someone had a million modifiers and had to reload their card and whatever else, and it's their turn to order and they go "oh.. um... hm.. I don't know what I want..." or, they say they want to reload their card and then decide to dig through their purse, in turn making my line continue to grow... WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING WITH YOUR LIFE FOR THE PAST 5 MINUTES STANDING IN THIS STORE!?
-Having to ask "What Size?" to every. single. person. (notice my username.)
-People not even knowing what they are ordering. Today:
Customer: "Can I get um.. a.. Dirty Chai?"
Me: Sure thing! WHAT SIZE?!
Customer: Yea well um.. grande.. So what is that?
Me: Grr. *Explains Explains*
Seriously? You are ordering something, THEN asking what it is? I simply do not understand.And pretty much anything else Sbux related. <3

-when someone orders a coffee or pastry and i tell them to hold tight, i will get it for them, and they proceed to the handoff....!!!!
-or when people use the handoff as a shelf and put all their **** on the counter/people who doctor up their drinks on the handoff-not only are you blocking everyone else, youre makeing a huge *** mess
-when someone buys something which they think is just way too expensive (like im forcing you to buy this ****) then turns around and demands free stuff because their iced quad grande hazelnut soy extra drizzle caramel macchiato was $5 so they want a free $15 mug!!!!!Posted 5 months ago # -
regular is NOT a size.
