Today, at work, a woman came up to the counter and asked if we made sweet and sour chicken. Before I could answer, she told me a really long recipe and said "I expect to see this on the menu next time I come in, or I will complain to the manager about your lousy work ethic". I work at Starbucks. FML

uhhhhh. xD I think you need to warn the manager about the crazy lady demanding sweet and sour chicken.

Something similar happened to me once. I was working in a B&N cafe (which is basically a Starbucks, but owned by B&N) and this guy came in--in his 20s, so young enough to know better--and was like, "How do you make your chai? Is it with some kind of nasty syrup?" I told him that yes, we did use a syrup, but that it wasn't too nasty. He was then like, "No. That's no good," and he proceeded to tell me various chai suppliers in the area, as if I, a barista at a bookstore, had any authority to change where a large, national corporation bought its chai.

I had the same issue! We're a drive-in next to Quizno's and one woman threatened to never come to our Starbucks again unless we started making subs. Some crrrazy people go to Starbucks. But it's more funny than effed.

Aha! I work at Starbucks too and I've had similar experiences with customers coming through our drive-thru. We're two or three units down from "Wild Wing",this chicken wing restaurant franchise (like an actual sit down restaurant, not like KFC) and I've had several people come through our drive through, which is clearly marked "Starbucks" and we answer the drive thru "Thank you for choosing Starbucks", looking to buy chicken wings. I've even had one customer get mad and ask why we didn't have a joint drive-thru WITH Wild Wing. It makes me laugh every time, especially since we've been their for almost a year. XD

Oh, that's good. Where are you? I want to go to your Starbucks and ask for a pot roast.
