Terrible Tuesday: Starbucks Customers

So I work at Starbucks and overall it's a great job.  The people I work with are super nice and I'm surrounded by caffeine which is good.  But dear lord some things that customers do just piss me the hell off.  Soooo...LIST TIME!!! get excited.  It's time for a pissed off barista's mini rant.

• So the drink is a "passion tea lemonade" not "that red one" or "the passion fruit tea, but can you put lemon in that?" or "passion berry" 
• Frappachinos are not "Frappes" that is Dunkin' Donuts or McDonalds or something 
• When ordering a drink tell me the size you want first so I don't have to make you repeat the entire list of extra stuff you want in your $17.00 drink
• Don't order a drink if you have to be in class or catch a bus in five minutes.  No I can't bump you up in line, there are fifty drinks ahead of you that other people are waiting for.  
• If you order a sandwich on a busy day odds are someone else ordered the same kind of sandwich.  So no, we didn't write a completely different name on the bag...it's just not yours.  Yours is behind the fifty other spinach egg white wraps.  And we know when you take it anyways.  And that's just not cool. 
• No one cares if you get a complicated drink, we get those orders all the time, so you don't have to apologize.  
• Pour overs.  Don't be a dick and order a pour over.  When I suggest a decaf americano because we stopped brewing decaf at noon (which admittedly is a stupid policy) try it, it tastes pretty much the same.
• People make up names for drinks but not everyone knows what they are made of, so order them by recipe not by fake name.   "Captain Crunch Frappachino" (Strawberries and cream + toffee nut) "Oreo milkshake thing" (Vanilla Bean Frappachino with mocha and java chips)
• Baristas know when you bring in two week old cups for fifty cent refills.  
• Newest addition to douche bag land: asking for esspresso shots over ice in a venti cup (costs like a dollar something) then filling the thing the rest of the way up with milk from the condiment bar.  Apparently it's a ghetto latte.  But we aren't stupid we know what you're up to.  And okay, it's a clever way to cheat the system but if you're on a college campus and you're using your mealplan anyways the extra buck and a half isn't gonna kill ya.  

so those are just a couple of the things that people do that are awful, but most people are okay.  just those few ruin the reputation for everybody
