ahh...more stories about stuck up SC (long)

[CoffeeMaker]

I work at a "coffee shop" that really isnt a coffee shop if you ask me. We all make s***y drinks for s***y SC. Here are a few stories about a few SC that i have been inspired to share (btw this is my first post. There WILL be many more)

Woman #1&2- it was a great morning. Things were going smooth. not one SC come through the door (or drive through) the whole day...until two girls walked in (you can tell they were bi**hes just by the way that they walked) I knew this wasnt going to end up well

Thoughts in ()


J (a co-worker)-Hi welcome to <coffee shop> how are you doing today?

SC1- i need a passion tea lemon aid (you dont NEED any of the crap that we are serving you and btw IM DOING GREAT!!! THANKS FOR ASKING!)

J- ok anything else for you?

SC2- i will have a white mocha with no whip.

J- ok your total is $xx.xx

SC1- *mumbling* i cant believe these prices. This is Bull****. (If you dont like what you are paying why are you here? you dont need the drink anyway. Get water, its better for you)


As this is going on i start making the first drink and hand it out. A passion tea lemon aid is one of the easiest things that we have on our menu. Its passion tea and lemon aid. Who would have thought? by the time that i was done with the other drink they were complaining about the drink being wrong.

SC1- This is wrong! make a new on!

Me- Whats wrong with it?

SC1- Make it again!

Me- (thanks for answering me!) Well, whats wrong with it? Maybe i can change it so you can get what you want.

SC1- Its just wrong. It doesnt taste right.

Me- (o.....k.......)

I remade the drink....and remade the drink....and remade the drink....
There isnt many ways you can remake that drink! it has up to 3 ingredients in it!

SC1- this isnt that hard i use to work for <coffee shop> and i know this is wrong. What are you doing wrong!? I want a refund! and your DMs number. I'm calling her and complaining.

she then stormed off with SC2. They went and complained to our DM

Why is SC2 a SC do you ask? She didnt to anything, right? well, she did. We got a call from out DM telling us that they two arent aloud in out store anymore. They have been kicked out of 8 stores in the area not including ours. haha. fail.



SC3- remember we were out of out grande (i wonder what "coffee shop" im talking about!) cold cups


Me- Hi! how are you!?

SC3- good and you?

Me- I'm doing great! What can i get started for you?

SC3- Can i get a grande iced fat filled drink that i dont need?

Me- I'm sorry we are out of our grande cold cups right now. Would you like to upgrade to a venti? it would be only $00.xx more!

SC3- How are you out of grande cups?!

Me- Well, we didnt get them in the order last night and we use what we had this morning. I'm sorry.

SC3- Can you give me a venti and charge me for a grande.

Me- i cant do that. I have been told no for that this morning when we first ran out.

SC3- Well why not?!

Me- Cause you arent getting a grande you are getting a venti.

SC3- THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD! THIS IS BULL**** I CANT BELIEVE THIS. I AM NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN. ALL OF YOU CAN KISS MY A**!! (word for word)

we saw her the next day and she got a venti.....




SC4- if you work for a coffee shop you will understand this one.
We have a drink called the cappuccino. it is made of mostly foam.



SC4- can i get a cappuccino with no foam please?

Me- (huh?!) a cappuccino is mostly foam. Would you like a latte? I think that is what you are talking about.

SC4- no i want a cappuccino...just make it like you would normally.

Me- ok...

I am pretty sure that she didnt get what she wanted.......................................

SC4- can i get a cappuccino with no foam please?

So basically espresso with a shot of non-steamed milk?

[CoffeeMaker]

So basically espresso with a shot of non-steamed milk?

a shot of espresso with steamed milk but no foam on top. so like a shot with some cream in it...yea nice way to spend $3.83

I'm surprised she didn't complain that her drink wasn't "full".


And SC3: I don't actually drink at your store, cause you guy are way to expensive, but I go to other coffee places or other restaurants. Now I can see being upset if they don't have the small size and forcing you to pay more to get a larger size. In than case I would ask for the medium or larger for the small price. But they don't have a medium? Suck it up, if you don't have enough money, get the small, if you want more drink, get the large.

It drove me absolutely insane when people asked for cappuccinos, since roughly 80% of people have no idea what they're ordering. However, for those that do know, making a good cappuccino for them is ridiculously satisfying.

Just give all of them a glass of water.

Hell, when I used to drink coffee I was usually thankful if they managed to make it without burning the coffee. DO NOT POUR BOILING WATER ONTO COFFEE!

[candyshopgirl]

Wow those are so uber super bitches.They aren't allowed in your store and 8 others. You'd think they would get the hint to stop being uber bitches by now. They probadly pull the same crap at all the store they pulled with you. They are costing the store money by making you remake drink 4-5 times.

[customersruinmylife]

It's so weird, I used to get A LOT of people asking for cappucinos with no foam.

I also had someone ask for a latte with no milk...

[CoffeeMonkey]

It's also a problem when they assume that a capp is like the "capp" that comes out of the gas station machine. That hasn't happened in awhile.

It happened more at the school coffee shop than the oneI'm at now, but we would occasionally get people who order something, usually a capp, and then ask...what's espresso? Or blithely inform me that they don't like coffee.

Now what I don't understand is that if you're out of medium cups, why can't you MAKE a medium, and put it in a large cup? That's what happens when we run out of cups.

[ChillyIllusionist]

I used to work at a coffee shop myself...

One of my co-workers got yelled at for not making a cappachino with no foam.. but seriously its impossible to make one ><


I also disliked the people who asked us to "top off their lates with coffee id there was room." we make the Lates so they fill the whole cup, there is NEVER room... -_-

When I worked at Harkins they would really get on your case if you did that. I believe it has to do with inventory.

My wife always gets a grande in a venti cup so she'll have room for the half & half. The staff originally suggested she get it that way.

Aaaargh!! Cup inventory! An evil concept born of sadistic accountants/managers.

I am the easiest mark for any coffee shop. I wander in and will literally ask for "Whatever". All I really want is the caffeine. The local coffee shop staff loves me because they can try out whatever they want on me as long as they put cream and sugar in it. I don't care if it costs eight dollars, it's 3 PM and I need my extra coffee!

I take the same approach to drinks at bars. "Does it come in a funny glass with an umbrella in it? Yeah, whatever, hit me!" My husband doesn't understand it.

[Mr.Customer]

Now what I don't understand is that if you're out of medium cups, why can't you MAKE a medium, and put it in a large cup? That's what happens when we run out of cups.

Coorperate stores are often charged by the company the full cost of the product by the cups they purchace, and then are paid back a commision on their sales, which is based on inventory. Thus the coffee shop would have to pay the full cost of each Vindi cup they used, but since they are only charging the customer for a Grande size they would be losing money on each sale. At those prices at a high volume coffee shop that adds up to a substantial cost.
