30 times Starbucks baristas called out customers for their ‘very extra’ orders

1. They’ve got a good point

You know, that’s not a bad idea. For one thing, this would make the baristas’ jobs a lot easier. For another thing, it would separate the normal people from the, well, not so normal people.

Starbucks should have 2 lines: one for people who want actual coffee, and one for whatever narcissistic bullshit this is.

2. Just another day at Starbucks

According to the barista who posted this, an order like this comes in every day. In fact, they may see something like this more than once a day. We’re not even sure that sounds good.

3. You’ve got to be kidding

Is this customer serious? You have to wonder if they’re doing this just to irritate the barista. If that’s the case, it’s working.

Let me throw another one in there for a little extra spice 🥴💀 pic.twitter.com/67kvISB5Fs

4. Hope it was worth it

At $32.51, this drink better be good. Think that for a minute. A lot of people spend less than that to eat for an entire day.

I’ll raise you this order pic.twitter.com/lGCI7gbDul

5. Hey, Joe

This message is for you. Just to let you know your order is really weird. But as they say, to each their own.

when i worked at dunkin donuts i had a lot of wild orders from regulars but the worst offense by far was this construction worker named joe who, every day, would order four donut holes *submerged in his coffee*. joe if ur reading this i hope ur ok man

6. Time for therapy

That’s so true. For someone to come up with a coffee order that contains like 20 ingredients, they can’t be thinking right. Perhaps a therapist could help.

How does one progress to the point where you know you prefer your drink exactly like this?
Has to be a crazy person.

7. Need more paper

When an order gets this long, the barista faces two problems. First, they have to call out each ingredient. Second, they run out of printer paper quite often.

8. Straight diabetes

Sure, some customers get to enjoy coffee. But for a lot of them, they’re downing nothing but sugar. Maybe Starbucks should put glucometers in their stores.

is there any coffee even in this or is it just straight diabetes

9. That’s just gross

It’s hard to wrap your head around this one. We have just one question. What type of job does this customer have that they need nothing but java shots and syrup?

I made TWO OF THESE a few weeks back. This is just shots and syrup 🙃 pic.twitter.com/uJtbDM721m

10. Time to move on

For quite some time, this barista had made orders like this. But eventually, they felt overwhelmed. We suggest a different career.

Seems like a good time to break out this gem. pic.twitter.com/UWef7IeOxJ

11. Wrong on so many levels

Gosh, you have to feel sorry for this barista. Not only do they have to call out a long list of ingredients but also make sure the customer’s beverage is a perfect 37-degrees Celsius. Then, there’s her name.

I was behind a woman who had an order that ridiculous and insisted it be heated to 37 degrees celsius ..”not 36, not 38–I will KNOW the difference” .
The Starbucks employee asked for her name..her reply “Sexy Vivacious “. 🙄 I stepped up to order and the

12. All for nothing …

… sort of. You see, this drink order came in via a mobile app but the customer never bothered to pick it up. If nothing else, all the baristas had a good laugh.

Contributing to this thread of terror. A meme mobile order we received at my store. No doubt the asshole “Karen” was peeping from outside to have a giggle as I was constructing this abomination. They didn’t even come to pick it up 🙃 pic.twitter.com/rZ4Ogyd56Z

13. A little coffee on the side

This isn’t a joke. A woman went through the drive-through to order her coffee and this is what she wanted. Very little coffee and a whole lot of caramel.

this woman in the drive thru instructed that we put that much carmel drizzle pic.twitter.com/NYwZMQ6NO4

14. Someone’s confused

This customer must’ve thought they were somewhere other than a coffee shop. But these baristas were true professionals. They made his order with a smile on their faces.

15. Good grief

With an order like this, the barista probably lost her voice. And her hands went numb. And she went completely mad.

16. “I’m watching you”

Asking for 27 pumps of vanilla seems a little extreme. But then watching to make sure the barista gives them what they asked for? That’s kind of creepy.

One time someone asked me for 27 pumps of vanilla. She watched me count every single one. 🥴🥴🥴🥴

17. It’s Sunday again

Ask any barista and they’ll tell you they dread Sundays. That’s when people order the craziest drinks. Perhaps they should ask for that day off.

Sunday’s are the worst 😭 pic.twitter.com/Hm3jYSiWxR

18. She was serious

Initially, the barista thought this customer was messing with her. But then, she had a revelation. The customer was dead serious.

you’d be surprised . a lady ordered this in person with a completely straight face 😐 pic.twitter.com/2OuTuN3Hti

— baby velociraptor (@tunafishpro) May 3, 2021

19. Is this even possible?

Isn’t tea made with water? How in the world does someone even drink this? Oh my, we have so many questions about this strange order.

i had a regular at my store just order a trenta iced green tea (no water) and 35 pumps of cane sugar 😭 and i thought that was ridiculous

20. This was the straw …

… that broke the camel’s back. Okay, this barista didn’t quit but they sure wanted to. While that’s a lot of ingredients, it’s hard to get past the peppermint.

21. Caramel overload

Here’s another customer who loves caramel. But then look at the order. They obviously love a lot of other things too … just throw it all in there.

OMFG SAME pic.twitter.com/ts4VWHwLne

22. Public Service Announcement

Attention all Starbucks customers … listen up. Vanilla caramel mocha isn’t an option. Get it, got it, good.

At my job we CONSTANTLY have people ask for ‘Vanilla Caramel Mocha’

We do not sell Vanilla Caramel Mocha.

Vanilla Caramel Mocha isn’t a thing that EXISTS as it’s own single flavor – it’s something you have to mix together with those two or three individual flavors.

23. There’s always one

You know, the one person who refuses to do things the way most people do. They could’ve had the barista make them a semi-normal drink like the other two. But no, they had to be different.

24. Interesting

Some of the ingredients in this drink sound good. And some of them sound good together. But after studying the full list, it sounds disgusting.

Tell me about it. pic.twitter.com/CBaO8By9gl

25. Multitalented

Most people think of a barista as someone who takes coffee orders and then makes them. While that’s one part of their job, there’s another. As you can see from this customer’s request, they’re also magicians.

This was 4 years ago! She wanted her caramel Frappuccino sandwiched in between caramel drizzle pic.twitter.com/A48RClQvok

26. Extra, extra, extra

And when we say extra, we mean extra. What’s the deal with all this caramel? There’s so much in this coffee that the customer will need a big spoon to even enjoy it.

I raise you our “please can you put extra extra extra extra caramel drizzle on” 😂 pic.twitter.com/njbNPTzIec

27. Does someone like raspberries?

There’s no doubt about it. This customer really loves raspberries. We have a feeling the barista had a hard time calling this order out due to being overcome with laughter.

28. So precise

This customer knew exactly what they wanted. There’s just one thing that’s surprising. They didn’t ask for a specific number of dark chocolate curls.

29. Beyond ingredients

The barista who made this was probably pulling their hair out. First, this customer was particular about the ingredients. But then, they went overboard by telling the barista how to make their coffee.

30. Never looking back

This barista reached the end of her rope. Over time, the Nadine’s, Alex’s, and Jeremy’s got to be too much. It was fun while it lasted.

yesterday was my last day with the s*ren, hope you make it out soon ❤️ pic.twitter.com/xLerRPk5qZ
