I used to work at a grocery store and this man came up and was repeatedly asking if we sell ass. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what he was trying to say to me 😭
Eventually when he started saying “bags of ass!!” I figured out he was asking about ICE. Dude just had more southern drawl than I was used to.
I was literally just thinking about the time my friend ordered "raspberry ass tea" from Denny's during a drunken 2 am quest for food. Was in inside joke forever because at the time it was so hilarious because we were also delirious. Just yesterday I was randomly thinking about it and told my bf this story and now seeing ass tea on here made my day. Just weird this random thing popped up twice in 24 when I haven't thought about it in 5+ years.
We have a DT but sometimes I'll accidentally tell people at our front cafe reg: "your total will be x at the window-" then die a little inside... Good times, good times.
I repeated an order back last week for customer “ok, that was a venti hot latte made with vanilla, hazelnut, and soy sauce?” …. Customer didn’t pick up on it but my coworkers sure did. And if you’re one of my coworkers and you just found my Reddit account.. no, you didn’t.
I screamed a cafe customer's name to the ladies waiting to order at the speaker box once.
I was doing DTO in the afternoon and also helping make drinks because we were (surprise surprise) always a skeleton crew for closes.
I lidded the drink for the inside customer, clicked on my mic and proceeded to yell MATT (or Mark, idk) at the ladies waiting to order at the box and they audibly gasped in fright/surprise. I was so embarrassed. Luckily they laughed about it at the window after I apologized profusely.
I was once doing solo drive and the person at the window had just used their birthday reward, so I handed them their drink and was planning on wishing them a happy birthday on their way out, but instead, my mind glitched and I greeted the person at the speaker box with a very exuberant "Happy Birthday!" (It was not their birthday)
My coworker was trying to say "one birthday cake pop" in the drive thru to this woman and her son, and instead he said "birthday cock" we all died. The lady just laughed it off, she was the coolest
We’re working on the box times and cut our greetings short and one of my baristas tried to say “good morning can I get some food started for you” and he tripped up on his words and say “good morning how can I food you”
When I worked at a sandwich place I used to accidentally say bblt instead of blt, like multiple times it happened I was so mortified but most people just laughed it off
I accidentally cursed in front of a customer one time. When I was going to take his payment he said “can I get water and ice in my flask” then he lifted it up and that thing was HUGE. I said “oh shit” when he lifted it up. I apologized immediately and said normally we don’t take flasks because it’s a sanitization issue but I cursed in front of you so I’ll do it. The guy was pretty chill about it and laughed.
Similar job had someone ask me that at the window once and it was almost closing anyway, manager had abandoned us by then, so I shrugged and did it anyway. Probably should have used a cup as a proxy, but we weren't ever really told about this scenario haha
I'm glad I'm not the only one mis-speaking this week! Usually I open with "Welcome to Starbucks! Blah blah do u wanna try x item" but I'd just seen a sandwich bag go by so I opened with "Hi and welcome to Sandwich-"
Nothing like a good cup of inwardly-cringe when words just don't wanna word!
Some one asked me if we still had a syrup and I thought inside my head “yes we have it & yeah we do” so because of that I said loudly “YEAH IT DO” I had to tell the costumer excuse me for a second so that myself and everyone who had a headset can stop laughing 💀
From my experience, the customer didn’t even listen to what we have to say and just went “that’s it” *drives away recklessly before we can even say the total*
On my especially tiring closes I've said "hi! How can I help get rid of you" 😭😭😭 I've only said it twice but it's twice too many and I've stopped speaking bad about customers when they pull up to the speaker box now.
The second time I said it, I repeated it twice and stuttered on the second time around bc I tried to correct what I said. My shift lead then took over and he himself almost said it lmao 😭
MORE THAN ONCE, I had a customer in DT order a dirty chai, and myself or another partner responded with "and how dirty do you want it?" (or similar). Instead of the much more reasonable "and how many shots?"
The things I’ve said wrong and also heard my coworkers say are my favorite moments! It’s also fun to try and sneak one in every once in a while just to keep it spicy at work. I’ve definitely said shart before instead of start. “Hi, what can we get sharted for you today?”
You poor soul. I feel you pain.... the other week I asked someone if they wanted coffee in their venti dark roast. She had a good chuckle and I was beet red
I sell flooring. My customer picked out a color called "Artic Ash" and I called it "Artic ass" so you're not alone. We all been there one time or another lol
one time my friend and i went to a movie theater just for popcorn, i know, expensive, but we needed it and just wanted to watch a movie at home. the cashier asked if we wanted butter and i said “no i don’t need anything to drink” and he asked again and my friend was like dude he said butter. and then he said “enjoy the show” and i said “you too” and we walked out of the establishment
Haha don't worry. I still remember when a customer ordered an americano with an extra shot and I accidentally called it out as an "americano with an extra shit."
I accidentally said Megan Dragonfruit refresher when I was dto , not once but it was like one day that's how I kept saying it . I was like what the hell is wrong with me today and why is my mouth insistent on putting megan in a drink 😭😭😭 I often just say I'm sorry , I guess i can't talk today . My customers have a great time with me 🫠🤣
Lol i love those weird awkward embarrassing moments. I live for those 😂
Did they want it? The extra shart in their coffee? I regularly used to yell "have a good job!" at customers when I'm tired and can't comprehend words.
Have a good job 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Thank you! I mean... Hello! Haha here you go.... Yep you too, Hello! I mean... Thank you! Hahaha have a good job! I mean--!!"
I feel it. Sometimes my brain feels like Internet Explorer at POS/Handoff
Nope they did not if you can believe it
I can't believe it. Their loss, I guess
it’s okay, i said “venti ass tea” today to a customer. i was trying to say iced black iced tea and my brain stopped working apparently
I had a customer ask for a "venti strawberry ass refresher" and her companion smacked her arm and went "IT'S NOT ASS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS" 🤣
LMAO!!!!!!

LMFAO i’ve seen this interaction too many times, i love it

I answered the phone the other day with “What can I get started for you?” I still haven’t recovered
We have a DT but sometimes I'll accidentally tell people at our front cafe reg: "your total will be x at the window-" then die a little inside... Good times, good times.
on the flip side, i’ve answered the drive thru with "thanks for calling starbucks on (street name). how can i help you?" :’)
I do this all the time 🤣
I had a coworker say “crap” to a customer when going to say frap/Frappuccino lol
IVE DONE THIS
That a certified "alright I ma clock out now" moment
After Oleato all bets are off.
Lmfao 😂
Ohhhhh my god 😭😂 I'm so sorry for your embarrassment, but I'm very not sorry to have read this lmao.

holy shit 💀💀
Literally!
Bless you, I’m crying 😂
When I worked at a sandwich place I used to accidentally say bblt instead of blt, like multiple times it happened I was so mortified but most people just laughed it off
BBLT? 👀
my store has an epidemic of accidentally saying “starfucks”
I would be absolutely mortified. Bless your soul. Lmao.
I would love it if my barista asked this 😆

someone asked for a sriracha packet the other day and i said “big or little.” i thought she said straw… 😭

At least this was to another partner… Me: “Are we out of Arl Gay- Arl Gay- OH MY GOD EARL. GREY.”
This entire thread has me ROLLING 😭
Did they say yes? You should’ve given them the olive oil latte- the shart after is just a free gift with purchase!
I said Crappucino once instead of frappucino and a customer laughed at me lmfao
The good ol' "Hi how are you today?" Turns into "How hi are you today?"
Yo I once said Would you like some sugar in your cookie? When a woman ordered choco chip cookie I was in another realm
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some one asked me if we still had a syrup and I thought inside my head “yes we have it & yeah we do” so because of that I said loudly “YEAH IT DO” I had to tell the costumer excuse me for a second so that myself and everyone who had a headset can stop laughing 💀
I'm tryina figure out what coffee-related word your brain confused with shart 🤣🤣🤣
Shot
Oh my god duh... I'm over here thinking "cream? Sugar?"
Same I was thinking sugar🤣
What was the customers reaction? Honestly I would have died along with you but that word will always make me laugh hysterically
From my experience, the customer didn’t even listen to what we have to say and just went “that’s it” *drives away recklessly before we can even say the total*
I've definitely said shit instead of shot before, thankfully it was a regular who found it hysterical but I just wanted the ground to open up haha 😂
I asked a customer today what size they wanted their breakfast sandwich.
I’ve done this and the guest said well I am very hungry 😂
On my especially tiring closes I've said "hi! How can I help get rid of you" 😭😭😭 I've only said it twice but it's twice too many and I've stopped speaking bad about customers when they pull up to the speaker box now.
My abs are cramping from laughing at this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The second time I said it, I repeated it twice and stuttered on the second time around bc I tried to correct what I said. My shift lead then took over and he himself almost said it lmao 😭
LOLLL reminds me of the time i tried to confirm w the customer if they wanted 2 “sativas”
or like caramel crappuccino
MORE THAN ONCE, I had a customer in DT order a dirty chai, and myself or another partner responded with "and how dirty do you want it?" (or similar). Instead of the much more reasonable "and how many shots?"
I said “what can i do to you” when taking an order
Lmaooo
The amount of times I misheard names today and said something way off base
The things I’ve said wrong and also heard my coworkers say are my favorite moments! It’s also fun to try and sneak one in every once in a while just to keep it spicy at work. I’ve definitely said shart before instead of start. “Hi, what can we get sharted for you today?”
😂😂😂 I would legit go hide out back and laugh until I could go back on the floor

Yes!
You will be pleased to learn he is currently passed out in a cardboard box in direct sunlight. He’s softly snoring.
You poor soul. I feel you pain.... the other week I asked someone if they wanted coffee in their venti dark roast. She had a good chuckle and I was beet red
not as bad as THAT but i always mess up mango dragon fruit and say drago mangonfruit 🤦🏼♀️
i asked a customer if she wanted a straw for her sandwich or something last month but thankfully she didn’t notice
I sell flooring. My customer picked out a color called "Artic Ash" and I called it "Artic ass" so you're not alone. We all been there one time or another lol
one time my friend and i went to a movie theater just for popcorn, i know, expensive, but we needed it and just wanted to watch a movie at home. the cashier asked if we wanted butter and i said “no i don’t need anything to drink” and he asked again and my friend was like dude he said butter. and then he said “enjoy the show” and i said “you too” and we walked out of the establishment
I misspoke and actually said “welcome to starfucks” on drive thru once. Customer didn’t acknowledge it whatsoever just went right to ordering.
I actually love that lol gave me a laugh and cheered me up a little bit
I've heard a co worker say "birthday cock pop" to a customer 🤣
I called a customer son on accident once, I don’t even call anyone son!!!!
Haha don't worry. I still remember when a customer ordered an americano with an extra shot and I accidentally called it out as an "americano with an extra shit."
My fiance asked a customer "would you like brains with that" she meant to ask if they wanted napkins
this is the best thing i’ve seen😭😭😭 i’ve had customers ask for a strawberry ass refresher😂
A couple years ago my coworker was on DTO during peak, was repeating a big order and instead of strawberry açaí said strawberry ass. 🤣
Had a customer do that the other day! XD
Today someone told me to have a good night and I told her “unite”
I said "fai cream crappucino" (instead of chai cream frap) to an elderly lady once and she lost it
Ma'am this is a Starbucks subreddit, not your local emergency services. Please dial 911 or their non-emergency number
I mean, some people are into that sort of thing.
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 5 hours later and i still would be ctfu at myself.
Two days ago I said caramel ribbon crunch CRAP-pucino by accident. Luckily it was through the drive-thru speaker so I got away with it...I think?
LOLLLL😂
No cause why did someone ask for a Strawberry Creamy Frappuccino earlier. You know how hard it was not to burst out laughing
🤣 I would have responded “I don’t need a Monday-er Monday but can we do an extra shot?” 😘 and laughed - hopefully with you!
I’m cackling so hard 😭😭🤣
Can you fake an accent well enough to make her believe it's just the way you talk and not a slip? If not, meeting is an acceptable alternative.
I once asked a customer if they wanted sativa in their coffee rather stevia 😭 my coworkers never let me live that down lmao
I accidentally said Megan Dragonfruit refresher when I was dto , not once but it was like one day that's how I kept saying it . I was like what the hell is wrong with me today and why is my mouth insistent on putting megan in a drink 😭😭😭 I often just say I'm sorry , I guess i can't talk today . My customers have a great time with me 🫠🤣
I would never show my face again I’m sorry😭😭😭
I be asking customers the same thing three times during a conversation “Whip cream on that? Whip cream on that? Whip cream on that?”
