Frequent lurker...new poster here.
I work two jobs, one of which is as a barista. People's stupidity astounds me some days. Some customers I've had this week:
The obvious answer:
The coffee shop I work at is in a mall and is ALWAYS busy. On Saturday a woman stood in line for 15min and when she go to my register she looked quite confused.
SC: Um so whats in a um "Vanilla Latte"thing
Supergirl (thinking why didnt you figure out what you wanted while you were in line?): Oh well thats espresso, streamed milk and vanilla syrup
SC: And by espresso you mean?? What is that?
Supergirl: o_O
The more obvious answer:
A 20-something girl asks a newbie on register about the Cinnamon Dolce Latte, and I jump in...
Supergirl: Oh the Cinnamon Dolce Latte is steamed milk, espresso and cinnamon dolce syrup. We can also make it with soy or non-fat milk
SC: oookkkayy...so what does the cinnamon dolce taste like?
Supergirl: Cinnamon (DUH)
I mean what was she expecting me to say..."Well yes SC our cinnamon dolce syrup does in fact taste like mocha"
Do you even know what you ordered?
A tweeny-bopper SC orders a cappuccino extra dry. This means that the cap, which normally is 2/3 steamed milk to 1/3 foam will be 1/2 steamed milk and 1/2 foam. The whole point really of a cappuccino is the darn foam, otherwise just get a latte! So 5min later she comes back...
SC: Like...I can't drink this, its like half foam.
Supergirl: what did you order SC?
SC: A tall cap extra dry.
Supergirl Extra dry means you wanted more foam in your drink? Soo how much foam did you want?
SC: Liek just a little on top and the rest steamed milk
We remade her drink as a latte
