I had a guest try to give me a $10 tip tonight because I saved him a slice of pumpkin bread. But I couldn’t take it because of Target’s no tips rule. ;-;
That barista was actually really adorable and sweet. I asked for a tall coffee in my ~14 oz fox mug and she got all excited but couldn’t remember what a mug was called and kept calling it a thing. So we just kept referring to it as the thing! “I would like coffee in the thing”, “here is your thing” it was just funny. Oh, and she filled it all the way instead of the size I asked for, double yay! I was glad I had extra cash to give her a nice tip because I rarely meet happy bubbly baristas anywhere.
I handed out free sample of pumpkin spice latte today at work because it was slow, and this jolly group of marines fresh out of the barracks for the weekend sauntered over excitedly. They asked what it was before taking a sample and when I said, “Pumpkin Spice Latte,” their hands flew back so quickly you’d think terrorists had made bombs out of them at some time. The look of terror was hilarious, and they proceeded to mumble about cults and Kool-Aid.
So I asked them what their favorite drinks were and they all left with free tall drinks.
At first I was pissed that my boss didn’t order enough frappuccino base syrup because we can’t make frappuccinos.
Then I realized.
We don’t have any frappuccino base syrup so I can’t make frappuccinos.
A guy named Andrew had a Starbucks Gold card (which gets you a free drink of your choice after you buy 12) and a single goal: to beat the previous world record for the most expensive Starbucks drink ever.
As anyone who has accomplished anything in life will tell you, thorough prep is key to achieving your goals. With 128-ounce glass in hand, Andrew stepped into Starbucks and enlisted the help of his friendly local Starbucks baristas.
Thus, the legend of the Sexagintuple Vanilla Bean Mocha Frappuccino was born. Total cost: $54.75. But for Gold-card holding Andrew, it was free.
SIXTY SHOTS???
SIXTY?!?!
THAT WOULD TAKE LIKE 10 MINUTES TO PULL AND THEY’D TASTE LIKE ASH. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS, WHAT A TERRIBLE DRINK IT WOULD BE.
SIXTY.
SHOTS.

Anybody in the food-services industry who does this to their customers is a cunt who deserves to lose their jobs. Not only is it just down right wrong, but it could be dangerous to somebody who has particular dietary requirements.
Having had the unfortunate experience of living with somebody who works at Starbucks, I have no doubt that this shit happens.
i’m lucky enough to have encountered a barista malicious enough to do this to me - i ordered a decaf latte with soy milk and they gave me fully caffeinated with cow’s milk. cue hours of panic attacks and feeling sick. ugh
I recently heard of a local cafe (that got shut down) where the owner was a total cock head who didn’t really care about his business, staff, or well being of customers. They served full fat milk in 100% of their drinks, without telling their customers when they asked for skinny, and the idiot barista went along with it, thinking it was harmless and funny, until her diabetic father came in for a coffee. Yeah, not so funny when it has an effect on you!
Once at Starbucks, i ordered a Skinny Pumpkin Spice Frappe, skinny because I need to lose weight before surgery but a starbucks drink in general because it was finals and i was tired. The lady at the register says “Skinny? Are you sure?” i say yes, and she asks me again if im sure. I say yes again. She adds “It tastes different.” I say I know, I prefer the taste, please give me a Skinny one. She proceeds to give me a non skinny one anyway (considering it tasted like pure sugar and whole milk). I had to throw it out since i didnt taste it til i got to class. Sighs.
Starbucks employees are required to remake your drink at no extra charge if it isn’t right btw. Even if it just doesn’t taste right they have to remake it. There are actual signs around saying it now. Don’t tolerate a rude attitude and an incorrect drink when you pay that much!
