The Way I See It #297  When I was young I was misled by...

Our manager would talk about things the...

Coworker: Do you know what we're going to talk about at the store meeting tomorrow?
147xxxx: Uhm... probably via, the whole value meal thing, and how we're becoming more environmental friendly... and then probably some store issues.
Coworker: like... our manager's going to talk about how everyone talks shit about everyone else?
147xxxx: yeah probably.
Coworker: Well I hope we also talk about how lazy the morning crew has become. I picked up a morning shift last week, and I swear to god none of them have any common fucking sense. Like we do so much to set them up for their mornings, but then they do nothing to help us closers. *Other coworker* dropped a whole box of chai on the floor and didn't do a thing. Such a bitch; its like hello, someone's going to have to clean that up later when its dried and sticky on the floor.
147xxxx: word. She's an idiot. I hope we talk about how 1/2 the shifts are comfortable doing jack shit and how the baristas are running everything while they sit on their ass in the back.
Coworker: I came in the other day when *terrible shift* was running the floor, and everything was chaos. The whole back line was a mess and of course no one even bothered to fix it.
147xxxx: Was *other coworker* there "voguing" again? I swear to god, if I'm working with him again and he breaks out into a dance routine, I'm going to smack him.
Coworker: Such a waste of starbucks money. We just need to let go like 3 more people, and things will be better... so... it's more like our manager is going to talk about how we talk a lot of shit?
147xxxx: yeahhh I think so.

“Did I tell you how I got fried chicken thrown at me by a...”
— One of my favorite co-workers....

psh, bitch please, it's not like you're...

147: Hiiii, how are you doing tonight?
Overdramatic Customer who wears sunglasses at 8.30pm: are you ready?... because ha, this is a long one.
147: okay.
OC: Alright, I need a grande. soy. sugar free vanilla. add shot. latte.
147: Oh...
OC: (rollllls eyes) Do you need me to say it again?
147: no.
Tutti baristas working: triple grande sugar free vanilla soy latte.

What the hell else would it taste like?

Customer: (pointing at pastry) What does this pastry taste like?
Co-Worker: You mean the chocolate donut?
Customer: Yeah.
Co-Worker: Oh. Uhm... it taste like a... like a donut. Like a chocolate donut.
I hope I'm able to express the way that my co-worker said this because it was so hilarious. I cracked myself up by typing it right now.

Listen

Awesome conversation I had the day after...

My dream man, literally the dude that was in my dream: heyy, what's up - can I have a venti coffee?
147xxxx: yeah, of course... oh, actually, it's still brewing. Can you wait like a minute? It'll be fresh
DM: (sounding super stoked about getting the freshest coffee) YEAH, awesome, the same thing happened to me last night!
147: (somewhat sarcastic) well SOMEONE got lucky last night (sees the line of customers to the side of him who all sort of give a look) oh um... like... got lucky because... um... the coffee was fresh... not like... you didn't get lucky like- well... I mean, you might have, I don't know, but... ...OKAY WELL YOUR COFFEE'S DONE
Ah sheesh. facepalm times a million. He laughed about it, but I was totally embarrassed.

“Shit girl, this is HOT. no, no, like REALLY HOT.”
— a customer to her friend...

Watch out for my new band 89centsback...

40 year old guy/former barista/nickelback's drummer's #1 fan: heyy can I have a tall decaf toffee nut breve latte?
147xxxx: sure. (to bar barista) decaf tall toffee nut breve latte
4YOG/FB/NBD#1F: ah damn, almost got it in the right order
147: ha, it's cool, don't worry. That'll be $x.xx... and here is your change
4YOG/FB/NBD#1F: thanks, hey... you know the band nickelback?
147: ... yeah (there was a brief pause because I had to refrain from the comments I usually say when that bend is mentioned, which is something like "I can't believe people ACTUALLY listen to them," "ugh they are ruining music," "that guy looks like jesus," etc, etc, etc)
4YOG/FB/NBD#1F: You know where their name came from?
147: uhm.. haha, no I don't - where?
4YOG/FB/NBD#1F: Well, the drummer and I use to work together at starbucks up in Seattle, and at this time there was no band yet. So, a tall coffee was $1.45, and when he was on register he would always say "ya want yournickelback?" Ha - IT'S TRUE! and I told brandon to keep on playing and now look where he is!! and ALL BECAUSE OF STARBUCKS.
FYI: I did some googling and it say's that the band did get their name from a band member asking if they wanted their nickel back, but it was actually the bassist who worked at starbucks, and I'm pretty sure they were from canada. so either I got PLAYED or the internet is wrong. Also, someone should tell this guy that his friend got replaced by another drummer, because that's what google told me.

Are you foreal? "oh, no I'm Karen"

Customer: Can I have a large coffee and a small green tea?
147: sure (makes drinks and hands them to customer)
C: umm EXCUSE ME. Which one's which...
147: ... the large coffee is in the... uh large cup. And the small tea has the tea bag tag hanging and... well it's in the small cup
C: k can you give me a pen so I can mark them. I mean they're not for me.
