There is no way you're gonna make me believe this wasn't a SB employee who just threw a bunch of dumb poo poo on a sticker and slapped it on a cup.

I'm not sure I believe the original post with the insane list of low-cal sweeteners thrown on a pile of syrup (unless "Ashley" was playing a prank on the baristas). That said, my husband used to work at Starbucks and he said the other orders with ten million syrups are definitely real.

Looks like it was ordered on a mobile app. I could believe someone just trying to put as many things into a drink as possible for shits and giggles.

Still. Ew.

It’s cold brew, so in theory there is coffee in there. All the milk types combined are the most :barf: part imo

White mocha just looks like that

People waste their rewards on stuff like this. Just adding whatever they can think of in their mobile order because it'll all be free. Stuff like 22 espresso shots, 17 pumps of multiple syrups, all the add-ins

Ive never seen someone drink their concoction in front of me so I assume they go "ugh gross haha glad I wasted a reward that I could have spent on something edible!" and then they throw it in the trash

I took a picture of one drink I made after Christmas. It was late enough that mobile orders wont go through so this lady hauls rear end to our store to place this order.

Looked and smelled like vomit

Starbucks is only for getting unsweet iced tea when not at home :eng101:

I like starbucks well enough when I've got enough free cash on me and enough of a sweet tooth that day to get like a mocha frapp or something, so I go to the local one, ask for like 7 shots of espresso in it, and they give me two ventis because nobody else will drink the leftovers, so I just spend the rest of the day drinking nothing but those.

Thing with Starbucks is that if you leave off all the candy bullshit the coffee is really not good.

Starbucks coffee is fine. I wouldn't buy their beans for my cold drip or anything but if you want a milky coffee it's totally adequate

Starbucks tastes burnt. I like their teas, though. And I'll get an iced coffee without sugar if I'm passing by and have time to stop.

In Korea, Starbucks was a fun challenge because getting a plain cup of coffee is hard; putting your fixings in is harder.

Ask for a plain, normal coffee? Americano.

Ask for drip coffee? Americano. (They will eventually make it, but will tell you it takes anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes to do).

Sometimes, the drip coffee is "impossible" or "we don't make it," so your friend next to you who is actually Korean points to the item on the menu and is told, "we're out."

You're...out of coffee? haha ok. I just handed you one of the many bags of coffee for sale behind me.

Close your mouth, friend, you work in food service and that's not a good look when you're handling food and also now three people in line are pointing to the menu and raising their voices.

Yes, I'll wait.

17 minutes? Okay.

(Two minutes later)

Thank you for the coffee! Do you have cream?
Not whipped cream.
No, not milk.
Look. I'm showing you a picture.
Yes, you DO have this in Korea. There's Korean writing. Also, I can see it behind you on the shelf.
There.
No, it's not milk.
...
Yes, I'll wait.
...
No, I don't want ice cream.
...
I see you back there! Are you hiding? I'll just leave. *Walks to the CU next door, buys cream, considers going back and putting it on the bar next to the napkins.*

E: the next time I came in, they remembered and the same girl made my coffee right away! But I had variations of this conversation all over Korea, except Seoul and Busan.

It's not, but if you go there wanting a coffee-flavored milkshake they have some pretty okay stuff. And in Asia you at least know what's going to happen and you're not going to get corn in your drink or whatever the gently caress.

Just cheese.

I like corn tea, though. I like artificial corn flavor! Those hot cans of corn cream soup in Japanese vending machines? ALL ABOUT IT. I would be VERY interested in a creamy corn frappuccino.

I don't like actual corn very much. Go figure.
