Iced Venti, 3 pump Classic, e-z ice, black tea lemonade

yeah dealing with drink mods are not hard at all, you still have to make the drink regardless of what they are. its the people that ask for a specific temp that get me....its like " will you really know if you drink is exactly 175 degrees?" OH well, I have only have 3 more days as a barista, then its off to a new job...YIPPEE!!

Like I said... it's not that big of a deal. I honestly don't usually mind for the most part. 99% of the mods are hardly difficult to do. It's more so just funny to hear some wannabe know-it-all order their drink like they're a pro and end up getting it all wrong! We always look at each other and smirk....

Sometimes I wonder if all the joke modifications they make actually make a difference in the drink or if they just THINK that they will. To me the biggest pain mods are the 1 or 2% milk.... we only carry skim and whole so it's little of this, little of that. If they want it xtra hot too we have to over steam two separate milk pitchers so it just creates a lengthy process. When you're backed up to the door with customers and have to have people in and out within a 5 minute period in order to make a good snapshot then those drinks become tedious and slow us down BIG TIME!

Line ups do suck!

is diva drinky, non-fat to you???

i worked there too. and the most diva drinky drinks i every had to make were the non-fat ones, and thats as simple as choosing which milk to use.

i think thing that makes it soo hard to do, is saying the effing thing.

i remember my boss heard me call a drink once, and i called it wrong, and she was like "i think we need to work on your drink calling techniques," thats when i said "bye" to starbucks!!!

I hate making those because they smell like Long Island Iced Teas.

Honestly I gag, i've drank far too many of those in my life.

You guys should try a strawberry blended lemonade with 2 shots of blackberry OR my favorite is a strawberry blended applejuice.. SERIOUSLY good stuff (good call Courtney!)

You may not be doing this to feel special but those stupid annoying soccer moms do. The come in on their cell phones, look at me and go " you better get a pen you are going to have to write this down" just becuse they think im some stupid barista, not knowing I have worked there for 3 years. That makes me sooooo mad. So i just say back to them " oh i dont need a pen i have a really good memory" and they get soooooo mad. haha snotty bitches!

It usually goes as follows: I'll get a triple grande, sugar-free vanilla, nonfat, no foam, 180 degree latte. And some of them think it is complicated and have the nerve to tell me to write it down. As soon as they say that I know exactly what they are going to get.

by starbucks nazi law, U MUST write it down.

fuck...........

[Arrrika]

^ it isnt like i dont write it down, but when i ask them what they want and they tell me i can listen to them, then turn around, write it down, and put up the cup. They wont even say what they want till i have a sleeve and a pen in my hand. The starbucks nazi law says to call back the drink to the customer. If you call it back to them they can tell you if you missed anytihng or got something wrong.

My thing lately has been plain and simple- iced green tea, half sweet.

[thechix0r]

Passion tea lemonade with Velencia syrup however, it seems that these days they don't have that syrup in stock, they better not discontinue it!
