We ran out of Coca-Cola ICEE today, so I put a sign up on the machine saying "Out of Order". Now, as I came to understand it, when something says, "Out of Order", that means it's broken and/or there is something wrong with it.
Apparently I'm wrong.
I had 5 guests (2 of whom were just total @$$holes about it) come up, look at the sign, and then tell me they wanted Coke ICEEs. Really? Don't be dumb people.
It wasn't FA, but at Starbucks this week, there was an issue with the espresso machine and there was someone out fixing it. Someone walked up and asked for a white chocolate mocha and the TM told her she couldn't make it because (DUH!!!) the espresso machine wasn't working and the guest threw a fit and asked to speak to "her boss". The ETL came over (the STL wasn't there) and explained that it was being worked on (DUH!!! The guy was 5' away from her with the machine in pieces!) and apologized for the inconvenience and she actually had the nerve to say "I'd like a $25 Starbuck's gift card for my inconvenience" :facepalm: He told her he wasn't able to do that, but would be willing to offer her a "tall drink COLD drink of her choice or coffee with whatever syrup she'd like" and she REFUSED because "the regular coffee sucks" and stomped off in a huff saying she was "going to call Corporate". We all just stood there shaking our heads.
OT, but oddly enough, I also heard that another store's espresso machine broke this week as well??? Something in the air or has someone been sabotaging the espresso machines? Where's Steritech been lately? LOL!
