Customers that talk on their cell phones while ordering in the drive through drive me crazy... It's all I can do to hold my tongue when they tell me to 'hold on' while they finish their conversation.

#45

I love upselling to all the skinny preppy college bitches that come in to my store. Nonfat no whip pumpkin spice....how about a tasty 400 calorie pastry today? Great! See you in four hours for some more!

#44

at #40-- i agree. i love getting to flirt with all the customers to get tips. it makes me feel like a legal whore.. kinda weird but its fun :)

#43

im pretty sure ive sold my soul to a siren. the little bitch snagged me from the first sip of my first latte.

#41

To #34, I tell almost everyone that they picked Via. Most of the customers are idiots, they only think they can tell. Keep on lying. Sell Via to the unsuspecting!

"#34 today, a woman took the starbucks via taste challenge
and she couldnt really tell the difference. i lied and said the
one she liked least was pike place.. she bought a 3pack. i felt
bad for lying, but i mean, anything to meet the via goals, right??"

#40

the best part of my job is that i get to flirt with all the customers i want, the more i flirt the better the tips are...

#39

each frappuccino i make kills me slowly. one day i want to make creme base with whole milk to stick it to them, or use 2 or 3 packets of coffee base per box so people can taste what coffee REALLY tastes like

#38

One of the greatest things about working at Starbucks is when I get to wash the dishes. It's my own little way of escaping from the crap that some customers give me.

#37

after years of feeling that it would be going too far, i quickly and quietly spit in the world's rudest customer's frappuccino. i also immediately sanitized the blender pitcher, because i didn't want anyone else to have a spittaccino, but still... it felt wonderful. i almost wished i had been sick.

On one of my last days working I carried out "Operation: Decaf EVERYBODY!"

It started with decaf pike place in both urns, decaf espresso roast as the bold and decaf in the main espresso hopper on one machine.

I was on bar for most of the morning, so I was able to give my favorite customers the real stuff. Everyone else got decaf.

Fuck em

#35

There was one female customer who came into the store who seemed really nice and polite….a pleasure to see every morning……..then out of nowhere she turned into a she-bitch and had the nerve to regularly order a iced grande non-fat Latte with HALF-A-SPLENDA!. What is that shit? If I was working the bar I gave her the whole friggin’ Splenda and decaf shots to boot.


When I thought it couldn’t get any worse with her, she came into the store right at opening on a Sunday morning……ordered a tall coffee and presented a $100 bill. The SS got her change cause I refused to change it for her. I always hated the 'Just Say Yes' policy.

if i stay at starbucks the rest of my life, i will be a sad little crumb cake disaster..

#32

DELISHOUS DRINK!!

my coffee shop near my school makes something called a white chocolate wolf.. and its delishous. i figured out how to make it!



for a grande..
4 pumps white mocha
fill with 3/4 of coffee
then top it with steamed signature hot chocolate
and add whip cream on top.

its amazing :)

#31

coming and getting 6 venti chai lattes during peak THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU, is probably the most annoying thing i have ever experienced, along with ordering 5 venti coffees and having us add the cream and sugar for you..



drive thru customers are often inconsiderate :/

#30

VIA columbian tastes like SHIT. i refuse to sell it to people. starbucks is just trying to find another way to make money, and doing it through via. its stupid.. sorry if i sound complainey.

signature hot chocoloate with toffee nut is like an orgasm in my mouth. its too bad that its sooo unhealthy..

#28

we were urnexing the brewers and put sticky notes on them saying "urnex" if they have urnex water in them to be scrubbed.
a customer came up and looked back and saw the sign that said urnex, then asked for a grande urnex with room.

i wanted to give it to him, but didnt.

after i explained, he said it probably still wouldve tasted better than the shit pike place.

#27

i hate christmastime. life at the bucks sucks in december.

#26

i like smearing mocha all over the counter and writing things in it when im bored.

#25

when the mocha is being throw out i take it in the back and stick my hand in it, then wash it off

#24

i pity people that work at licensed stores. their lives must suck, ha ha ha.

#23

Mandy Moore came in to my store once and I was freaking out on the inside...but kept it cool.

#22

sometimes i get real tempted to pop the urnex tablets into my mouth. i have no idea why. they just look like cute fat mints.

#21

conession- new favorite drink:
doppio espresso con panna, with a packet of the brown sugar from the oatmeal.. its soooooo good.

#20

I am completely upset that my store doesn't have the Clover machines. I bet they are the coolest things ever.

i HATE when people buy the bottled frappuccinos. we can actually MAKE them, and they taste a billion times better.

-kristen, chicago

#18

Whenever I make samples of a drink...I always keep three or four behind the counter for myself...

#17

The best part of my job is that i feel so helpful to people that ask questions about calorie information, being quite the calorie counter myself.

#16

when toddlers come into starbucks crying, i do a few shots of espresso so i can pretend that they dont bother me.

#15

When I change the pastry case I do it vigorously to break a few pastries... so I can eat them. :)

#14

I came to work drunk. I was on bar for about 3 Hours, and Im pretty sure I hit on a few customers.

#13

One female customer that comes in almost everyday always pulls her dollars out of her bra while practically flashing me...and she like 50.

i purposely try to time my 30min meal break to when i know this cute customer comes in everyday so i can flirt with her. she makes my thirty minute break go by so fast :)

((a link to this post was submitted))

But then the other day I was at Starbucks. My Barista was a heavy set teenage boy, who stood cowering and meek, almost as if he was uncomfortable in his own skin. When I asked for a small sugar-free nonfat iced mocha, he rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath,

"Nonfat, sure...make fun of me...just like everyone else.."


I chose not to respond. There was nothing I could have done or said that would have made feel any better about himself, nor was my nonfat drink in anyway a representation of what I thought, or felt about him. So I remained silent, but I watched him closely as he made my drink. I watched as he pumped 5 squirts of REGULAR Mocha syrup into my drink, and as he
sneakily added a squirt and a half of Classic Syrup (liquid sugar).

Barista: "Nonfat Mocha..."

GH: "Thanks..."
Taking one sip so he could see me, I scrunched my face and said,
"Are you sure this is sugar free?"

Barista: "Yes, It is..."

GH: "Uh, OK. Thanks."

Upon leaving the building I dropped the drink into the nearest trash can. Luckily I had payed with a gift card that much to my surprise still had $20 dollars remaining.

I was really annoyed by the whole ordeal, yet having to dump the drink was the least of my concerns. I was pissed that he was dishonest, that he would purposely sabotage a stranger who unintentionally offended him. I understand low self-esteem. I struggled with it all through junior high and high school. But does he honestly think that just because he is miserable, everyone else should be too? That since he is fat and unhappy, everyone else should join him in self-loathing.

We make our own happiness. We may not like our weight, our hair, or our clothes, but we shouldn't treat everyone else like shit because we are unsatisfied. We should change our attitudes, and treat people with love and respect, only then will we learn to love the person trapped underneath the extra weight, a bad hair-cut, or shabby clothes.

When people order a grande frappucino and ask for it in a venti cup...I always pour the leftover in to make it a full venti, especially if it's a girl...why not make their day a little better? :)

Sometimes I feel like I've sold my soul to Starbucks.

#8

There's an adorable arab guy that comes in everyday with a personal mug that gets a grande latte. I always give him the extra shot while I flirt with him as much as possible despite the fact he's married. ..but he usually flirts back ;)

-kristen, chicago

#7

Whenever an overweight customer orders a frappucino, I make it with the light base instead of the regular base.

#6

when people order espresso drinks for their little kids, i use decaf even if they dont order it. i refuse to be the cause of their stunted growth or hormonal disorder from too much caffeine..

#5

i wrote my phone number on a customer's cup one time, and then he called me later that night. we hooked up, but he just did it to try to get free coffee, which hurt my self esteem a little.

#4

My apron smells like a horse took a fat crap on it, and i refuse to wash it until my shift supervisor makes me.

I spend most of my paycheck on starbucks mugs, when I should be paying off college.

#2

If brittney spears came into my Starbucks, i would probably give her a free drink after i peed my pants, even tho she is really trashy.

#1

a preppy cheerleader (i knew she was a cheerleader because she was in uniform) came in and asked for a grande skinny vanilla latte. while i was making it she shouted in her valley girl voice, "Wait, thats a medium, i want a GRANDE. " (she meant venti..) i showed her venti, told her that was large..

..when i remade her VENTI skinny vanilla latte, it was with regular vanilla syrup and whole milk. hope that goes to your thighs little prick cheer girl.
