When Starbucks screws up my order...

[Anonymous]

I usually work from home and have started going into the office much more, so have been placing my mobile orders at a different Starbucks each morning so I can pick my coffee up on the way in. I would say that about 1/3 of the time, maybe closer to 1/2 of the time, my order is slightly incorrect. I have been ordering iced coffees with milk, one splenda, and a sugar free syrup. Nothing crazy. Usually they forget to put in the milk.

This morning my coffee was filled to the top and I asked the barista if he could take it back to pour some out and put the milk in. He looked at my ticket and said "oh, sorry, I forgot to put the milk in." I said no problem, but he expected me to pour the coffee out in the trash can. This was kind of annoying because it got all over the place, which I knew would happen, and then coffee got onto my white pants.. which was exactly what I was trying to avoid. Ok, whatever, we ultimately got the milk in, NBD. Then I got to the car, took a sip, and there's clearly no syrup in the coffee. ARGH! I guess I'm just annoyed. I paid $4 something for my coffee and I would like it to be what I ordered! But at the same time, I felt like it would be overkill to go back inside. There's no question that he forgot the syrup, though.

So I drove away, but now I'm kind of sad because I really was looking forward to my coffee and I don't love the way it tastes without the syrup. I raelize that this is a complete first world problem, but it's my one "treat" of the day and I like to get what I've paid for. How do other people handle when the baristas mess up your order?

This is the most pathetic post I have ever read on DCUM. Wow.

Take a sip before you leave the store, ffs.

I keep a few packs of Splenda or stevia sweetener in my purse. Or you could grab a couple packs on your way out.

But sugar free syrup and make yours at home? You don't need a $4 treat of the day every day, do you?

My friend from Syria had 6 members of her family killed in bombings yesterday. Her brother, 2 cousins, 2 nephews and niece. Take a minute to think about your life today and whether a cup of coffee is worth bitching about.

Pick one Starbucks, go every day so that they know you're order. Then complain about how you are broke on $200k.

Check before you go. Just like at the drive-thru, you look through your bag before driving away, right? Way too much trouble to go back in once you are gone.

LOL @ "how do other people handle"

There's nothing to handle. Also how da hell did you manage to spill coffee on your white pants simply pouring extra coffee into a trash can? The cans at Starbucks are open holes in the coffee condiment station, there's not even a door to hold open with one hand or anything. You're like those people in infomercials who have to pretend to be extra inept to sell a tool nobody actually needs:

Stop using the mobile app. It's not saving you any time. Just go I and order

Ok the thing is you can't expect them to do the milk, unless you're getting a drink off the menu like a latte or capuccino. I like iced espresso with lots of ice, 2 sugars and cream. I have tried ordering it through the drive thru etc and it's never quite right, which annoys me bc I am a picky, neurotic bitch. So I get off my ass and walk in, wait etc. If I don't have time to do that, oh well, no Starbucks that day. But I'm telling you they'll never get that picky ass drink of yours exactly right. Accept this truth and go from there.

Is this a drive-through? If not, wouldn't it be better to put the milk and splenda in yourself at the counter? That wouldn't correct the lack of syrup, though.

I know it's only 8:00 am, but this post already has a great chance of being the stupidest thing I read on the internet all day.
