(20,176 posts)Just ask for what you want in plain English and they'll figure it out. I once in an internal-suggestion memo suggested that we eliminate the menu boards and replace them with promos for the current seasonal products and a list of your options for beverage customization. It got some consideration.
I'm a decaf triple venti caramel nonfat extra-foam mocha. If you wanted the same thing, you could say "large decaf 3-shots of espresso extra-foamy steamed skim milk with mocha and caramel" and your barista would get it just fine.
Also, the most ordered beverage is "Coffee with room". All they're going to ask you there is "which coffee" because we brew two types of caffeinated during the morning and afternoon. You're braver than me, I wouldn't drink gas station coffee...convenience store maybe, but the gas-n-go or Shell? I think they could use that to strip nuts it's so old and strong.
I miss being a barista and coffeemaster.
