Everyone's morning "coffee" ritual is a little different, and for some that means an ungodly amount of syrup slammed into their veins like it was being pushed in by a train. This barista thought they were getting revenge on a bad customer by seriously overdoing things, but as it turns out, that customer could look the grim reaper in the eye voids and say "the sweet embrace of death isn't saccharine enough for my tastes, Mister Jingly Bone Man." For another tale from the café, here's a customer who demanded hotter coffee so the manager went full throttle.

Sure no problem. oc S So I'm a barista at a large cafe chain, and I have learned people can be a bit particular with their coffee. That's fine. And if people don't like their order they are entirely within their rights to ask us to change it for them. Most people won't come up at all, and the few that do are happy with their order the second time. Not today, oh no.

    Font - In the middle of a busy rush (as the weather here has been extremely hot), this lady comes up and asks for a skinny vanilla iced latte with extra vanilla. So default is 2 pumps, extra is 4 usually. So i pumped the vanilla 4 times into her 12 Oz cup, poured her skinny milk and then poured her 2 shots of espresso on top of this. I handed her it and moved onto the next customer.

    Font - About 5 minutes has passed. She comes up with an empty cup and says that there wasn't enough vanilla in her iced latte. I am pretty pissed off that she thinks she can just get us to make her another drink, and that the vanilla was just an excuse. So I kindly explain to her that we can't make her another one as she has drank it already. She quotes the company "promise" to remake drinks that don't meet the customers standards. So to avoid an argument, I make her another one, but put an ungo

    Font - I hand her drink to her, tell her to take a sip of it to taste. She takes a sip of it and tells me "that's MUCH better, how hard was it it to put extra vanilla in??". I was boiling in rage. Moral of the story is that sometimes malicious compliance can end well for those on the receiving end, even if you don't want it to.

    Font - Resoto10 - 17h · edited 16h I was on a T Hortons ordering inside and they were a little short handed. While I was waiting for the cashier to come take my order, I happened to listen to the guy in the drive through and, as soon as he turned his mic off he yells "one double diabetes large!" That caught my attention and after I ordered I asked the cashier, what's a double diabetes? It's coffee with 10 parts sugar and 10 cream. WTF? Where's the coffee in there? I mean, how frequently do peopl

    Font - daddycat93 · 18h I once briefly worked at Buckstars and will never forget a mobile order for an "Avis" that came through. I thought there was no way it could ever be true so I almost threw away the stickers until my manager intervened. It was for two (2!) venti vanilla sweet cream cold brews with fifteen (15!!) pumps of vanilla syrup, fifteen pumps of simple syrup, extra sweet cream, no ice, in a trenta cup. One drink obviously wasn't enough. I still remember how horrific it looked. None
