A Starbucks barista took to Reddit to share the one drink that customers order that never fails to infuriate her, and it might surprise you.
In the popular Starbucks subreddit, a barista took to the platform to gather fellow employees’ thoughts surrounding customers’ orders.
The title of the thread reads, ‘What order makes you unnecessarily angry?’ She goes on to share her most hated drink order.
“I’m not talking about wild custom drinks here, I mean completely ordinary, understandable orders,” she clarifies.
“For me, it’s a nonfat latte with no room, no foam, add cinnamon. There’s a lady who comes through about 3x a week and orders it, so I should be used to making it by now.
“It’s not like it’s hard or takes that much more time/effort but man, every time I hear her ordering it I get filled with rage for absolutely no reason. I can’t be the only one who gets unnecessarily p**sed at one drink.”
Starbucks baristas weigh in on most hated drink order
After the post was made on Reddit, it gained over 400 comments, with other baristas eager to weigh in with their most hated drink order.
“Fraps with cold foam, or when they want us to line the cup with caramel and mocha drizzle AND cookie crumbles… like girl STOP,” a supervisor wrote.
“I freaking hate iced matcha. I can’t exactly tell you why but it always makes me want to skip it,” another revealed.
“Any refresher with heavy cream (including pink/dragon drinks) and anything extra hot with no foam. IT’S GONNA BE FOAMY IF YOU STEAM IT TO HELL AND BACK,” one wrote in anger.
One user, however, didn’t have one specific item that they hated, but hated having to tackle complicated orders from customers:
“It’s not one specific item. It’s when I get a five drink order that has four different cold foams or four fraps with every modification under the sun.”
Another Starbucks barista went viral when she claimed she was fired for calling customer a “b**ch.”
