147xxxx

My mom and I took a coffee break during our mall shopping...

I just saw one of my regulars on law and order!  I can’t wait to go back to work and tell her...

Listen

Dear Coworkers

I understand that the triple grande 3 pump vanilla soy 4 (sometimes 5) packets of energy plus...

There are a few customers who are truly...

147xxxx: Hey there, what can I get for you today?
Hot Tranny Mess: (looking right at me)... Uh... cup of coffee
147xxxx: alright. iced coffee or hot coffee?
HTM: What?
147xxxx: Do you want iced coffee or hot coffee?
HTM: What's the difference?
147xxxx: ... uhm... (having to ignore my coworker next to the pastry case who has his back turned from the customer because he's closing to being hysterical) one is over ice and the other is... is hot.
HTM: Oh.... just hot.
147xxxx: Okay. What size? medium?
HTM: What sizes do you have?
147xxxx: We have a small (shows tall cup), medium (shows grande cup), and large (shows venti cup).
HTM: Do you have anything smaller than that cup (pointing to the venti one I'm currently holding)
147xxxx: ... yup, the MEDIUM (holds it up)
HTM: yeah. that.
We don't know what was wrong with this person.

CHAI FRIDAYS!!!!

If its the first time you’re coming into starbucks and we have a rush of customers, it will be...

... OR BEIRUT

147xxxx: (calling out a drink) Can I have an iced grande two pump toffee nut non fat latte?
Coworker: (picks up cup to mark it) iced grand- what... (whispering next to me) what the hell are these cups?
147xxxx: Oh yeah I know, we're getting mad jank up in here. Solo's really let themselves go.
Coworker: These are the cheapest thinest things. I feel like these cups should be red
147xxxx: I feel like we I should steal a sleeve for that the frat party tonight. you know, to playing beer pong.

I love being awake/drunk at 5am so that i can text the opener telling him to have a good open &...

Yesterday morning, I opened at 5am.  It wasn’t that bad; my coworker and I were in good moods...

What do you want from me? ... besides a...

Customer: Do you recycle?
Coworker: Oh no, sorry we actually don't.
Customer: What? Why don't you? You shut down mom and pop coffee shops and charge six dollars a drink, and you don't sell fair trade coffees either.
Coworker: Hah, well some of our coffees are fair trade, and Starbucks is actually trying to-
Customer: Oh and you guys get benefits; guess its worth all of this for the benefits, right?
Coworker: ah... sure.
I walked out of the back room maybe an hour later to find this dude back up at the counter giving my coworkers a hard time once again
Customer: Yeah I have this good friend from the Hamptons and he was a shift and he use to always give me the sandwiches and let me tell you after a day those things were DISGUSTING. (my coworker counting the safe gives a curtosey laugh) ... but you know you throw out all of those sandwiches every night, and that is FUCKED UP. Really fucked up. (after getting no reaction from us) You know, I was in the Hamptons a few weeks ago while they were closing, and I asked for a sandwich and then ended up giving me a full big bag of them, and I was all like, hey man, I just asked for one! Way to listen to your customers
147xxxx: ... hah... it sounds like someone is trying to get a free sandwich
Customer: Oh, no - I already had one and (trying to be a hilarious douche) it needed more mayo, more mustard, more lettuce, better bread, and a little salt and pepper would probably make it actually taste good
147xxxx: (my coworker again gave a courtesy laugh, but I didn't think he was all that amusing) Ah, well there's a deli around the corner.
Customer: Oh look at you! all gossip girl (wtf? I don't even watch that show, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't wearing a plaid skirt and headband)
Look, I'm really sorry that because of a starbucks being present other "mom and pop" coffee places have closed down. That sucks. So yes I can probably say off the clock that it sucks, but there isn't much I can do about it. If you don't want to support Starbucks for doing this, then don't come here. Why don't you go to one of the many independent coffee shops in the city. If fair trade is an issue that you really really care about you'll be happy to know that a lot of them do only fair trade coffees. We don't yet, but we're working on it.
And really, our drinks are rarely $6
I would love for us to recycle, but I don't really have the power to enforce Starbucks to recycle. I've brought up this issue to my district manager, but since the building our store is in doesn't offer a place to put our recycling, we can't really do it unless we collected the bottles and did it ourselves. And city harvest used to come and pick up the sandwiches or something for the homeless, but then they stopped because they didn't think it was worth the trip to pick up 4 or 5 sandwiches. So if we wanted to, we would have to do it ourselves. So I'm sorry if this makes me a bad person, but after dealing with you stupid assholes and the homeless all night, I'm really really tired.
And if you don't like our sandwiches, then don't buy them!
For a guy who is all about the Hamptons, you're really fucking cheap to try to get a free $5 sandwich.

147xxxx: (turning around after filling up coffee brewer baskets) Oh, sorry, I didn't see you guys there. (To girl in front of my register) so what can I get for you this morning?
Customer 1: Heyy, can I have a tall green tea?
147xxxx: sure thing (turns around to make tea)
Customer 2: UHM HEY I WAS HERE FIRST
Customer 1: You were, huh? Where were you standing?
Customer 2: right. HERE.
Customer 1: It's really not that serious.
Customer 2: oh OH OH you know what it kind of is
Customer 1: ... jesus christ
My co-worker and I: ...
147xxxx: Well is there a drink that he can get started for you?
Customer 2: ... i can wait.
147xxxx: Okay, and again, I'm really sorry about that... (to customer 1) okay, uhm, the tea is a dollar ninety, any thing else?
Customer 1: Yes, actually I want to pay for whatever he'll be having-
Customer 2: no THANK YOU
This happened last Satuday morning, and my coworker and I laughed about it for the rest of the shift. We just couldn't get over how crazy this dude was and how awesome the young woman was who called him out on his bullshit. I've never ever seen a customer act THAT hostile and angry. I thought for a second he must have been on some type of drug because he was acting so totally bogus.
