PSA from a Starbucks Barista (based on actual experiences)
Donât change your drink order as we hand it out to you
âAre any of your baristas good at making [insert drink here]?â Â Yes. Â Itâs our job.
No, we donât serve soda.
What size is your drink??? t e l l  u s
We know Starbucks is ridiculously expensive, and we canât do anything about it.
Donât give us a handful of loose change and then walk/drive away ??
Donât be surprised if you order 5 frappuchinos and it takes forever
You donât need to shout into the drive thru speaker !!
On the other hand speak clearly and donât whisper !!
Donât ! Honk ! In ! The ! Drive ! Thru ! Lane ! Â Literally thereâs no reason ?? Â And it just destroys our ears ?? Â please
Have mercy on us, weâre doing our best to get your 12 iced lattes ready, as well as everyone elseâs drinks
Literally someone ordered 12 iced lattes the other day Iâm not kidding like why
There is no secret menu !
Know what you want when you go through the drive thru, donât sit there for 500 years and hold up the line
Yes, the egg bites have egg in them holy shit
The cafe music is picked by people in the Seattle headquarters, we canât change it
literally the only thing keeping me going sometimes is what my ASM told me onceââWeâre here because they canât make it themselves.â
Donât say âI donât mean to fuss at you about something you have no control overâ and then fuss at us for 3 minutes without even pausing to breath like how ?
every single time I get told how to make a âMedicine Ballâ by someone, itâs a different recipe ok there is no fucking secret menu
if you say âsurprise me,â Iâm just going to give you whateverâs easiest to make
Donât insult/be rude to the person making what you are going to consume ?? Â literally the first law of survival like wtf
I canât change the price of your drink
please donât as us to use tip money to pay for the part of the drink you donât want to pay for. thatâs literally asking the cashier to take money out of their paycheck to pay for your overpriced coffee that you wanted
basically just be nice to us please weâre doing our best
baristas, if you wanna add some please do, more customer awareness 2k17 please
