5 Starbucks Customers That I Seriously Don’t Understand (By A Barista)

1. The woman who orders a Grande latte in a Venti cup

Um, are you trying to make people think that you spent more money on coffee than you actually did? PLEASE tell me you won’t need that much room for milk or cream! Then why bother ordering coffee? This is just one ordering technique that always earns an eye roll from me.

2. The man who orders his coffee at EXACTLY 172 degrees

Let’s be serious for a second, how the hell do you know how hot your coffee is? My mouth tells me probably 4 temperatures, ranging from scalding hot, to damn that’s toasty, to luke warm, to did you make this last night? Are you going to pull a thermometer out of your pocket to double check the heat level? Even worse, when the person sends it back, I just want to say ok, No coffee for you!

3. Miss “I’ll have a skinny mocha with soy milk , extra whip cream please!”

Do you realize that the calories you eliminated by choosing sugar free syrup and soy milk are added back at least four fold with your fluffy topping? I mean seriously, you could have the exquisite cheesecake brownie for the calories in the whip cream that’s just going to melt into your drink. Move along princess.

4. Three shots of espresso man

First and foremost, please note, it’s called ESPRESSO! NOT eXpresso! Now that we’ve cleared that up, I always give this guy that curious puppy head tilt. I just want to go ask him if he’s trying to stop his heart right then and there. Even better is the guy who asks for the three shots of espresso with whip. I then wish I had a defibrillator in my purse.

5. The workout clothing clad “ Venti ice water please!”

You have just earned my death stare and delayed eye roll. Why in the world do you need to come to Starbucks for WATER? They sell water everywhere, and there’s this nifty thing in every sink in your house that produces it too! I know, I just helped you learn something, it’s crazy! Even worse, the bottled water buyer at Starbucks. Yes a whole 5 cents of your $3.50 bottle of water goes to help children get clean water, God forbid they fork over 10 cents. It’s not as if they’re a huge corporation. Go drink from the hose dear.

Times When Walmart Didn’t Disappoint

 

1. When this woman somehow got glued to a toilet seat.

2. When this awesome parking job happened.

3. When this sign for fasteners came unfastened.

Oh, the irony.

4. When this customer saw clouds for the first time, apparently.

5. When some employee thought pumpkins were watermelons.

6. And when another employee — maybe the same one! — thought cantaloupes were also watermelons.

7. When they erected this awesome ball pit and didn’t let anyone to play in it.

It’s the saddest of times. :(

8. When this pair of DTF panties showed up.

9. When the entire police force hung out in the parking lot.

10. When these style twins came to shop.

11. When this cake message was written.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

12. And when this other equally awesome message graced the shelves.

“And underneath that, I’d like it to read…”

13. When this baby straight-up chilled on the checkout belt.

14. When this price drop happened.

15. Or when these shirts went on sale for their original amount.

16. When someone thought baseball and football were the same exact thing.

17. When these cookies got a bird decoy to protect them.

18. When we met the world’s longest man-tail.

19. Followed by the world’s largest skidmark.

Breathtaking.

20. When extreme caution was taken to secure these mop buckets.

21. When this mom found a changing room.

22. When we met a new kind of bra.

23. And when Walter White turned the bathroom into a meth lab.

Well played, Walmart. Who knew you had it in you?

30 Things Your Cashier Hates

 

1. I have more than 12 items, can I come through here?

Express lanes are labeled. Read them. Love them. About 15 items is not an entire cart.

2. Are you open? My light is on and I’m standing in front of a register. NOPE.

Durrrrrr.

3. Do you work here? I am wearing a name tag, yes, yes I do work here.

Where is the nearest building that I can leap from?

4. Here’s my shoppers/rewards/frequent shopper card? IN MY FACE

5. Here let me unload my cart and leave the cart at the front of the checkstand EVEN THOUGH I AM EXITING THROUGH THE LOBBY

6. You look bored/You look like you need a customer.

7. While at U-Scan, “Can you ring all this produce up for me?”

8. Needs to write a check. Waits until you have rang up their entire order. Writes at the pace of a 5 year old learning their letters.

9. I see you have a WIC check and the WIC guide book with you. Yet I see you’re buying nothing actually listed on your check…

10. “There is enough money in my account to buy this. There must be something wrong with your machine.”

11. “I have exactly $40.” Excuse me while I put well over $40 worth of groceries on the belt and put things back one by one.

12. I am legally required to ID all people in a group purchasing age restricted items. The last thing I need is a gaggle of 20 year olds sassing me because one person has their ID.

13. The ad says limit of 9 grapefruits, can I buy 27 of them on three different transactions?

14. Bulk items can be expensive. Don’t be surprised when your Jelly Bellys or Pine Nuts are crazy expensive. We can’t put those back, so when you change your mind we have to throw them away.

15. If you return perishable items like a $17 frozen lasagna that also needs to be thrown away. Prices go up because of this.

16. Do not put your animals in the cart. Not every dog is a service animal. It is gross.

17. Dad jokes. “That isn’t scanning? It must be free.” Huehuehue. Kill me now.

18. We have a box we stand in for a reason. Please don’t step into it. Personal space is key when working with the public.

19. If you are paying with cash, please don’t hand me a wad of bills.

20. Complimenting me will not make me anymore interested in cutting you a deal or returning your $180 worth of vitamins with live security tags.

21. WASH YOUR REUSABLE BAGS

22. Speaking of bags, if your city doesn’t have plastic, don’t complain to the cashier. They had no control over this.

23. Hang up your phone. It makes it hard to tell you the total, ask you any questions, etc. But please, when the transaction is over, hang up and examine your receipt and tell me everything that is wrong. Next time, hang up.

24. We. Are. Not. Babysitters.

25. If a store closes at 11. Don’t be surprised that there are few cashiers at 10:55 to ring you up. If you plan on doing a week worth of shopping, don’t do it five minutes before close.

26. Do not walk up to a register fifteen minutes after close with a huge cart of groceries. WHO RAISED YOU?

27. It’s 8am. And you’re drunk. Aaaaand no Natty Ice for you. Not worth my job for you to keep your buzz.

28. If you get food from the deli, pay for it first. Don’t eat it then tell the cashier it was gross and you don’t want to pay for it. Generally you can tell if it is gross with the first couple bites.

29. Don’t put your cash or coupons on the belt. See that gap where the items stop? That is where dreams (and your money) go to die. You don’t want to look down there.

30. If the closed sign is up, it generally means we are closed. Just because I’m still finishing up a transaction doesn’t mean you can assume I am open and then give me a nasty look because I inform you that it does indeed mean closed.
