Ooooh, the shenanigans people were up to this weekend! Here’s the highlight reel: 1) Dear Annoying Phone Borrower, just because we let you use our phone every time you come in does NOT mean it’s ok to borrow the phone while sitting in your car at the DT window. (He wanted to place a call [...]

Just an average day over the drive-thru headset with a loveable customer. Me: Hello! Welcome to Starbucks! Confusion: HI! I WANT A TEA! WHATKINDOFTEAISITTHATILIKE? (Pause…..) Me: Umm, dunno. Never seen you before. Would you like an iced tea or hot tea? Confusion: IT COMES EITHER WAY! IT’S BERRY! BUT I WANT ICED. Me: Okay, well [...]
To Biscotti Or Not?

I know most of you come to Starbucks for parenting advice (especially from childless baristas). As such, here’s a tidbit I hope you find helpful. When a 3-year old is pestering you for a biscotti and you are hogging up valuable real-estate directly in front of the cash register, do one of two things: Say [...]

I don’t mean to judge (actually I do), but your TEN sugar extra caramel macchiato is gross. And your TWELVE honey tea is a beating to make.
People Just Don’t Listen

Here’s my typical greeting at the DT speaker: “Hi! Welcome to Coffee Shop! My name is Carrie! Can I get you a ——–?!” I say this minimum hundred times per shift. As you might guess, I get tired of suggesting Tea Infusions, Hot Sandwiches, and Caramel Macchiatos, so every once in a while I like [...]
Don’t Mess

Wish people wouldn’t litter in my drive through lane. Picking up stranger trash out of the landscaping is gross.
His Name is Phillip

Ah, with Alanis Morissette-style irony, I met Phillip the day after my last post. In case you’re wondering who Phillip is, he’s the author of the mysterious notes left on my newspaper stand. He walks up to my register, looking pretty normal; late 50′s/early 60′s, gray-headed and wearing a TCU shirt. He’s picked up two [...]

We sell the NY Times right alongside the FW Star Telegram at my store. Coffee plus news: Not an overly imaginative combo, but clearly meeting the needs of our customers. Well, most customers. I just noticed the notes last week, but, according to employees, they’ve been appearing for over a month now. They are hand-written [...]

I was sweeping the floor at work yesterday and once again found a fingernail (or perhaps a toenail?) clipping. People, you have got to stop being so gross.
