’)I get to the register, after a stimulating wait in line, and ask for a ’sugar free’ vanilla latte. So far so good.
Barista: Your name?
Me: Joe. (That’s my Starbucks name! :)
Barista: Would you like whipped cream with that?
Me: Yes, please! On second thought, why don’t I just get a regular with extra sugar; and double the whipped cream please.
Unfortunately, I didn’t actually say that for the fear of looking like a douche.
Well, it’s a pretty common request believe it or not! I love the people who order non-fat milk, but still request whip…just sayin’! :)
Yeah, I always ask for nonfat with whip because I’m lactose intolerant, but love my whipped cream
You know, they’re required to ask stuff like that. I know it may seem like a no brainer, but it’s their job to do stuff like that. You would not believe how many people have weird coffee orders.
no no no we are NOT required to say anything to be honest….we usually just say that because most jerks will get to the bar and then yell about how they did want whip creme or didn’t but either way they didn’t have the brains to ask for it in the beginning.
kind of like people who order a big mac, large fries, and a diet coke. hey, you gotta cut back somewhere.
i do that when ordering a meal at macd’s i carnt have normal coke cos of the aditativs init. i go all hypo like
Some People are Diabetic…
In all fairness, I’m pretty sure he wasn’t considering diabetics when he said that.
Hey hey now, some of us just like the taste of diet coke better
Joeless,
Or the person getting the diet coke is diabetic. One of my coworkers is diabetic and he gets a large combo with a diet soda when we go to places like Mcdonalds or Wendys. A description of this coworker: he is tall and pretty fit. Getting a diet soda is how he limits the amount of sugar he is intaking since the carbs in the bread and fries turns into sugar.
Maybe you should be a little more considerate before you lump everyone into the same boat. I am not saying everyone who gets a large and a diet is diabetic but some of them may in fact be.
@donewithit
maybe you should calm down. you dont know what he thinks of diabetics, so maybe instead of responding with an accusal you should instead respond with a question. just because he didn’t say “EXCEPT: diabetics” doesn’t mean it wasn’t implied. i’m pretty sure when he submitted his comment “people with excuses don’t count” was assumed…. this is sarcasm society, and im sorry you’re gonna have to do some thinking before you make yourself into a fool :)
I like the way the diet coke tastes.
It’s like the people who go to McDonalds or Burger King or whatever, get this nasty sloppy fatty burger and fries, and then order a diet drink.
How about ordering soymilk and getting asked if I want whipped cream on it? It’s happened.
I actually have a customer that gets soy (lacto intolerant) but requests extra whip. Go figure…
lol i love the taste of soy and im not lactose intolerant.
I know, isn’t it rediculous? I feel so bad every time I have to ask because 9 times out of 10, sugar-free customers DON’T want whip cream. But then there is always that 10th person who asks for sugar free because they WANT whip cream; you know, dropping calories one place so they can have it some where else. And they are always the ones that get angry when you DON’T ask. So for the sake of the few people that DO want whip, we ask and make ourselves look rediculous to the rest of you. So, I can say for your barista- “Joe”, I appreciate your patience! =p
Barista Girl,
Sorry, I guess there is more than one kind of stupid in the system. :)
The worst is when someone orders a soy anything then gets whipped cream, if you can do the cow why are you doing the soy?
i remember a quote from “wayne” (Mike Meyers) “I like my coffee like i like my women ~Black with Two sugars~ haha sorry just thought id share lol
Yeah, usually customers don’t know what they want anyway..such as ordering a cappucino when they really want a latte. We baristas are required to ask about whip because we get graded on how many ‘upsells’ we do during shifts, and whip is an easy one. We really aren’t stupid, just trying to keep from getting fired!
well they can order how they want. But i have never understood the ppl who get a meal at a fast food place, supersize it and get a diet drink. Really does that make sense? and Kristy i would not say that its nasty and sloppy or not so many ppl would eat it!
