Starbucks Barista Rant Number one
15 years ago
General
It isn't frap. It isn't Frappe, Starbucks is not fucking McDonalds! Starbucks is a convenience store, get it strait! Those milkshake like drinks at Starbucks is called a frappuccino. You want your drink faster? DON'T BE LAZY AND SHORTEN WORDS!
Hello folks. This is basically going to be my journal ranting about silly things I observe at work. For those who haven't figured it out yet, I work at a Starbucks here in the square city of San Antonio. Some of the things I see at Starbucks is humorous. Rich business chicks who turn into rabid beast when their coffee is one degree to cold, like they can tell...
Why do people insist on shortening the word Frappucino to Frap. Let me tell you something. I hear the word Frap at least twenty times a day, worse during summer. Every time I have to do a double take, not because corporate asks us to correct the person, but because over that stupid headset the word frapp sounds like CRAP.
"Hello welcome to Starbucks. My name is Buck, how may I help you?"
"Crap I dropped something. Give me a second."
"Okay, holler when you are ready."
"Alright I am ready...I would like a Carmel crap."
pause
"A carmel what mam?" Mild surprise.
"A carmel crap...the blended thing."
It is at this moment I realize they were saying frappuccino. What an ordeal! I keep remembering that video of Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin when they were talking over walki-talkies saying over to end their sentences.

Some people lack the mental capacity to be meaningfully educated about Starbucks products, as in the way corporate and Schultz would phrase it which is a polite way of saying corrected. And it's for no other reason than selfish self absorbed arrogance. They dont want to learn. Anyway, longer rant short, I understand and sympathize.

Heh, glad you understand! It is more of a place for me to tell others about the silliness of what people can be.
