Anonymous asked: Wow, I didn't know that a Starbucks drive thru existed. All the Starbucks I've been to were just cafes. I learn something new everyday!

Wow really? Over half of the ones in my town are drive thrus haha.

I work 6 out of the 10 this year… Breathe in, breathe out….

I might go crazy…

Anonymous asked: When people order something, pay, then try to ask for add-ons when I'm making their drink so they can get freebies. Not gonna happen

So annoying….

Any partners out there have some EcoSure horror stories? I’ve worked at Starbucks for 3 years now and I’ve never been present during an audit. We’re one of 2 stores in our district that hasn’t been audited yet. Ugh. Any stories partners? Interesting or scary?

I have a co-worker who does the most ratchet things sometimes.

When she’s on bar and people want things “extra hot” after they’ve ordered or she didn’t notice it written, she will literally take back that same normal temp drink, dump it back in the pitcher (syrups, whip, toppings, and all), re-steam it, pour it back in the SAme cup, re-apply the toppings, and give it back.

I am all about short cuts and “I took the whip off your frappu-pain-in-my-ass you can still drink it okay?” but that is just…gross.

And every time she does it I just wanna be like…”You serious, bruh?”

Corporate sent my manager an email today making sure everyone in my store knew to make frappuccinos according to standard, even during Happy Hour.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

No.

Farreal? Don’t act like you’ve never been in a drive thru before. I could SERIOUSLY write a book about this. People were being extra special in my drive thru today, so I thought I’d give you a list of don’ts. Like do NOT. EVER.

1.) Why do you pass up the speaker box? WHY? It’s RIGHT THERE. It’s the rectangular BOX with the SPEAKER on it. If you are driving too fast too notice it, sloooooowwww the eff down! You do not need to be going that fast.

2.) Roll. Down. Your. Window. And. Acknowledge. Me. I realize you have a life and you might be having a phone conversation or talking to someone else in the car. But if you could just ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOW and POLITELY tell me to hold on, I will do so. I don’t mind so you can tell your conversational partner to hold on so you can do what you came to the drive thru for. Do not continue your conversation as if I’m NOT there, waiting to cater to your every whim. You did not come to my drive thru to hold up my line and talk on your cell phone. Please do that elsewhere. Thank you.

3.) I realize that some people don’t come to Starbucks that often and won’t know what they want right away. That’s fine, just politely tell me you’re still deciding and I will happily wait for you or answer any questions you have. But DO NOT start ordering until you know what you want for sure. If the majority of your order consists of “Uhhhhhhhh…” I need you to know I am picturing punching you directly in the throat.

4.) Don’t order more things at the window when there’s a line behind you. Just PLEASE don’t.

5.) Do not order 7 different types of frappuccinos for all the 13 year olds in your car and then complain about how long it’s taking. Maybe you shouldn’t be spending $30 at Starbucks? There’s a thought…

6.) This happens in the cafe too, but more often than not it’s in drive thru. Ordering from the non existent “secret menu”. I don’t have any idea what a Snickers Frappuccino is. I’m not lying to protect some type of Starbucks secret. If someone orders like that, I usually respond with “I don’t know how to make that, it’s not on our menu, but if you know what’s in it, I’ll be happy to make it for you.” And WITHOUT fail, I hear “Well. I’m looking at your Secret Menu right now and it says I can order it.” NO LISTEN. I WILL START BUYING SNICKERS BARS SO WHEN I GET ORDERS LIKE THAT I WILL THROW ONE AT YOUR DAMN CAR.

7.) And last but not least, don’t order just water in the drive thru. Do not trouble me with your dehydration. Come inside. Damn.
