Just love listening to a tween trying to give you the instructions for an off-menu drink:
"So, um, you make like you're doing a frappe...."
"What kind?"
"Uhhhhhh.....just a regular one."
"Is that coffee? Mocha? Caramel? Java chip? Vanilla bean? WHICH 'regular one'?!
"Ummmm....coffee, I think...."
"Then what?"
"Okay, you add some squirts of hazelnut & vanilla & cinnamon...."
"How many pumps of each?"
"Uhhhhhhhh.....just a minute...." *looks at friend who trying to pull it up on her phone*
*cue angry outburst from long line of guests behind them*

Amen. I hate that and especially when they come and order a "medicine ball" as I fight the urge to give them a box of Theraflu.
 
Starbucks Secret Menu: The Coldbuster
It’s flu season, and I think it’s safe to say that we all hate the sniffling, sneezing, and congestion that comes with it. The Coldbuster, also known as “The Medicine Ball” will sooth sore throats and sinuses should the unfortunate come your way.

It incorporates a handful of cold remedies, all put together in a steaming hot cup of tea. So if you’re feeling under the weather, give this remedy a try.

**With the change to Teavana Tea instead of the old Tazo teas, we recommend subbing the Refresh and Calm Tea Bags with Peach Tranquility & Jade Citrus Mint.

Here’s the recipe:
  • Venti Cup w/ a bag of Jade Citrus Mint Tea and a bag of Peach Tranquility Tea
  • Add half hot water and half steamed lemonade
  • Add a little honey for its anti-microbial effects
  • Optional: Add a pump of peppermint

This is not a legit cold remedy. It's all sugar.
 
We make something similar for TMs with sinus problems, allergies, etc.
No medicinal value; just makes the nose feel better.

Then you tell them that it will be 7 bucks for their tall frap because of all the added syrups.

I wish I could've figured out an extra charge for those venti "no water or ice" tea jerks who send their buddy up for a venti cup of ice (aka: twofer one cheapskate special).
 
Add juice/tea under modifiers for no water teas/refreshers. Asked my DM about this a while ago and she said that it's an up sell since it is not standard for the beverage.
 
Heard steritech visits are dropping to only four a year....can't wait for FA to go so red is hurts...hopefully my sbux doesn't with whatever tl they dredge up to replace the one that just left.

This time it's a little more intense. If you get a red for the first visit, your STL has to walk the next one and have a conference call with the DTL. If the second one fails, DTL walks it and has a conference call with their boss and if they fail, the GVP walks it and creates an action plan which I'm sure ensures firing the TL, ETL, and STL.

This could be fun...although we often get yellow instead of red because they miss the awful stuff.
 
They asked me to try the frapp when I was shopping at my old store.
Blecch.......too. much. chocolate.
Diabetes in a cup.

It's just a Java Chip with different whipped cream and drizzle. And the chips dont really melt all the way in the latte/HC so it's mostly just a mocha... such a dumb promotion.

And what doesn't melt is all grainy. I don't even like chocolate. I think we will make raspberry whip for raspberry white mocha creme fraps for the weekend. Much more festive looking.

Not for long! I know I saw some message saying they were taking the color out of the caramel syrup or something, but my DM also mentioned getting raspberry syrup without any color. Which means all the preteen girls who get cotton candy fraps will be so heartbroken when they don't get a pink drink.
 
Our DM was in for a DSV and they even said it was one of their least favorite drinks Starbucks has ever come out with. To me it's not just the taste, but the texture of half-molten frap chips and steamed mocha-milk that makes it gross. It's kinda gritty.

It will be worse than the red cups. No more Barbie pink drinks. So many of them really don't care what it tastes like (as long as it doesn't taste of coffee). Just want the pink. I guess they will have to move on to passion tea.
