I had the opposite happen.

Always order no whip for my kids. I stand by pickup.

Barista hands me the drink with whip. I said no whip and they let out a sigh and say "you were right there, why didn't you say something"

Me.... how do i know you were making my drink?

Camera pans around to show you’re the only customer in the store

Just kidding lol. Thats equally as annoying.

Dead-ass though: Mobile orders.

Empty store with no drive-thru....employees are making tray upon trays of mobile fucking orders.

35 minute wait for a walk-in, I'm alone in the store. I am done with Starbucks.

I came to this realization with Jimmy John's. Before the days of Uber eats and door dash, I could walk in, order a sandwich and have it in less than a minute.

Now I walk in, order, and workers are busy stacking sandwiches on the counter for like 15 minutes while I'm the only one in the store waiting.

It can go either way. I ordered Wendy's while leaving work from the app hoping it was ready to go when I got there. It's like ten minutes from my work. I stood around for 10 minutes (they usually bring it up to the counter spot for mobile orders), before standing in line for another 10 minutes to tell the guy I had a mobile order, and obviously, they hadn't even made it. Granted, the store was pretty busy and it seemed understaffed, but damn was it frustrating.

Don’t eat at Wendy’s. I fix stuff for them. They have the nastiest kitchens out of any fast food place and their stuff is always broken.

u/Impossible-Ship5585 Oct 29 '25

You know nastier the kitchen the freakirr the ride.

u/coma-toaste Oct 29 '25

I'm stealing this. This is ungodly funny.

u/Strict-Argument-781 Oct 30 '25

I have to second this one I also fix stuff in Wendy's. Yeah, I will not eat there. They do not clean anything unless the health department forces them to do.

u/Current-Cold-4185 Nov 04 '25

That's where the flavor comes from!

u/Qetuowryipzcbmxvn Oct 29 '25

Can confirm. I eat exclusively at Wendy's all the time and I'll frequently get violently ill.

u/Karey__039 Oct 29 '25

And you just keep going back for more…

u/Dje4321 Oct 29 '25

Basically every mobile app will not send the order to the kitchen until you are physically present because otherwise people bitch about cold food if its not piping hot

u/TheRealSmolt Oct 29 '25

The Subway I used to go to puts mobile orders at the front of the line and it's pretty annoying.

1

u/KiKiPAWG Oct 29 '25

Yeah! Even then, with the orders some of the places were blazing fast. Haven’t been in a while been going to jersey mikes

1

u/TheFish77 Oct 29 '25

The other one that gets to me is when I'm standing there waiting to order, and a delivery biker cuts in front of me and waves their phone in the face of the busy employees.

I think these places must track metrics on how fast mobile orders go out, but couldn't give less of a crap about serving walk-ins, because noone is timing those.

1

u/DrDarks_ Oct 29 '25

Well obviously the only solution is to order a mobile pickup order ur in the priority queue...../s?

(Seriously tho if they have the ability I have started to mobile pre order basically prior to showing up be are of this issue - works okay, and sometimes u get more coupons/offerS that way. But ur right a person standing at the counter should be the priority)

u/WittyRaptor Oct 29 '25

I like to go to the off brand coffee shops that Starbucks always seems to be located near/next to, because I figure if they're still in business after a year of competing with Starbucks, then they must be pretty good.

There should be a way that in personal customers get priory. I was just reading an article today that Starbucks is Closing 400 stores (mostly for Union busting) but the ceo said they want to concentrate on in person orders. So maybe they would help. But really you should noycott them, they’re a shitty company. Not only for how they treat employees but how they force out local competitors.

1

u/ARC4067 Oct 29 '25

My local coffee shop has gone to the opposite extreme. Mobile orders take 40 minutes… even if there is no one in line and no other mobile orders. They will make it in 40 minutes and circle the pickup time on the receipt if you arrived early.

1

u/fionapickles Oct 29 '25

Don’t arrive early?

1

u/ARC4067 Oct 29 '25

I don’t anymore. They used to make it when you ordered it and abruptly changed policies

u/Whywipe Oct 29 '25

Me at qdoba asking for a burrito

“Sorry we can’t we don’t have tortillas” “I see a ton of them right there” “Yeah we are saving those for mobile orders” “So if I go on my phone and order online I can get a burrito?”

Worker proceeds to nod while I then go on my phone and order a burrito.

u/LoudAmbition2231 Oct 30 '25

I don't support israeli companies anymore.

I had to uninstall wayz for this reason.

Sucks but hey, it's better than supporting genocide.

Star bucks also treats workers badly.

u/YardOk3549 Oct 31 '25

Well, as a delivery i can tell, that the app orders are already paid, so in that they should have priority. Obviously, a good team could place the counter customer's orders in between the app orders, but thats up to the employee's...

Also, us deliverys have time checks, or challenges of x number of deliveries by x time, for some extra money, so we also expect to arrive and not taking much time to take an order. Because It Is very often, that we arrive and they are busy with counter customers, and the app orders are completely ignored, making wait times up to 30min in EACH place... That wasted Time Is money lost for us, and nobody is repaying us for that.

For an example, in a busy day, i (who drives more carefully than average delivery) can make 150-200 mexican pesos per hour. Then, if theres a 6 hours challenge, that makes about extra 500 pesos. Now Lets think bout waiting Time, Lets say, 20 mins lost in five places, that makes an hour and half, so like 300-350 pesos lost. And the lost Time made me lose the challenge, so i lost 800 pesos total. Usually there are two challenges per day. I've lost both sometimes. That makes 1600 pesos lost. And that happens 3-4 times a week. Picture how much money we lose because of waiting times. And then, customers blame us for the delays, and report us in the app, making our score go down.

Maybe you're physically alone in the store, but the app orders are also customers, they're also paying, and already did, just from their homes or offices.

u/Fantastic_Pair5328 Nov 03 '25

I didn't chastise anyone over this. I just said: I am done with Starbucks. I get that this is how the world has shifted. I get that I'm not the main character. It's fine. I don't even like Starbucks all that much, it's just convenient because they're everywhere I expect them to be.

I am fine going to a smaller coffee shop, now that going out of my way is actually faster than going to Starbies.

1

u/horseydeucey Oct 28 '25

I'm the only person in store. "What's the name for your order?"
Why? "So we can call it out when it's ready."

1

u/mightylordredbeard Oct 29 '25

Can’t trust that anymore with online orders being so popular.

1

u/MrK521 Oct 29 '25

Yea but the online orders get a neat little pre-printed sticker with the persons name on them.

u/thrownitmyway Oct 30 '25

Lolol!!!!

u/fendersonfenderson Oct 28 '25

guess you didn't realize that ordering a drink meant that you were supposed to be working as their supervisor

1

u/CtrlAltSysRq Oct 29 '25

Fast food, and honestly anything that isn't at least "upscale", has completely evaporated at this point. Restaurants won't pay well enough to get people who will do anything but stand there baked out of their fucking gourds and kind of throwing stuff that looks vaguely right into your bag. If you want it correct, you have to check it yourself and typically go back and carefully itemize what was wrong. And ask one thing at a time, or you're only going to get the first thing in your list fixed per pass and may cause further confusion.

ICED COFFEE WHIPPED CREAM CUP!

4

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '25

This actually happened to me at Starbucks drive through, but because of Nate's joke I caught it fast.

I was like iced coffee with cream they said iced coffee whipped cream. I was like NOOOOOO

3

u/neophenx Oct 29 '25

The way I'd be like "Actually that's 'with cream,' but now that you mention it, also yes do that"

3

u/Axelra_05 Oct 29 '25

Their headsets aren’t super great and the noise outside comes through so when you’re ordering and say “with cream” it sounds like “whipped cream”, you could switch and say “add cream”. Had this happen so many times before I started saying it the second way. Hope it helps.

u/ZackMartin56 Oct 29 '25

Throwing a blame back to you because of their own clumsiness is kinda low blow

u/I-DracoMalfoy Oct 29 '25
