Barbucks

Stories from working at Starbucks that make me want to add a little vodka to my venti.

All the following stories are true. Seriously, I wish I could make these up. However, I can only vouch for mine, and not the submissions. I do not intend offend anyone involved; these are for entertainment purposes only.

Ratings come in tall, grande or venti, or some variation thereof.

Butter She Said, and Butter I Did!

A woman comes in and orders a drink and a plain bagel with butter. Then she asks me to put the butter on the bagel before I toast it. I just looked at her. Then smiled and said ok.

Normally, we toast the bagel and give you individually wrapped butters or cream cheese on the side because we are a FAST FOOD chain. But she was the only person in line at the time, so, I didn’t say anything.

Then she says: “Can you do that now for me?”

My response to her was: “Yes, of course.” But in my head I was thinking, “No. I think I’ll wait 30 minutes after I’ve done the paperwork in the back and taken care of the nonexistent customers online behind you. Then I’ll butter your damn bagel.”

So, I put gloves on and buttered a plain bagel (which is hard to do pretoasted because the butter is hard). So I warm the butter, and put it on the bagel, then toast the bagel.

I go to hand her the masterpiece and she says: “This has the butter already on it right?”

My response: “Yes.”

What I was thinking: “Of course it does! What the hell did you think I was doing for the last 10 minutes?!”

I truly hope she does not come back in and I pray for the people around her all the time.
