Current Events > Apparently some Starbucks workers give rude customers decaf coffee

(+) Yeah! (+)

I love this Drinking decaf coffee wont hurt you, but it has 97% of the caffeine removed.

Serves Karen right to feel groggy going into work for being rude.

No thats theft.

no. You ordered something specific and you go the wrong thing.

I'm not going to pretend that it isn't kind of funny and I haven't seen it done in a restaurant that I worked at but it is a dick move.

(So are rude customers but two wrongs and all of that)

---

They should be fired.

---

As much as Im anti Karen, I don't agree with this practice.

---

It would not affect me in the slightest. I function the same even on days when I don't drink coffee.

Gonna go to Starbucks and be a bitch brb

anyone who doesnt understand this has never worked retail

Tc out of touch with almost everything or what

unsurprising karma to active messages ratio, tc

I've only had decaf like twice in my life, and I couldn't taste the difference. Doesn't seem like something anyone would notice when they're in the store, so I doubt there would be any blow back to this.

Yeah it's a dick move but it's one way to get back at people who are rude in general. Being nice wont change shit. Think this is a passive way to get back at those kinds of people. It is a harmless thing, considering some people joke about spitting in someone's food or drink.

Also I wouldn't consider it theft, tha is a ridiculous over reaction to this and anyone who thinks it is theft is a fuckim karen and gets decaf.

I'm kinda sad because I have high tolerance for caffeine.

I never knew what it's like to overcome morning shittiness with coffee.

It's all the same for me.

It cost me exactly 0$ to drop a fresh cup of Decaf on the floor of some Starbucks - thatd be more thanks to you than it is on me >_>

The reaction also cost me like 3 seconds of my life from drop to ohhhh, ohhhh mah gah Im sorry

It would only be theft if regular was more expensive than decaf.

Placebo effect probably kicks in to a degree anyway.

Some people are caffeine sensitive. My wife can easily tell the difference but I can't.

Its Starbucks dude, do you really gotta have a reason?

Lol

I worked retail. This is still wrong.

sure, because 'look at what you made me do' is a healthy and normal response to that situation, and certainly the one any well-adjusted adult would take.

if anything it should tell you that they made the right call and that you were transparently a shitty customer (maybe person too!) from the start.

is it theft? arguably. is it wrong? well, let's examine that one ethically. you encounter a shitty person and you have the choice as to whether or not you want to send them back out into the world caffeinated.

Oh, thats hilarious! And brilliant.
Treat underpaid retail and food service employees like human beings please, because their employers sure dont.

lol this is hilarious

I dont think a well adjusted adult assumes everyone that would get a decaffeinated in this scenario deserved to get that decaf lol

but thats not a look at what you made me do - thats just someone who can do what they do but better

I mean, just dont do it and I wont do it either lol I dont give a fuck about the millions of customers you had beforehand that made your day shitty.. just dont take it out on me >_>


---

sounds petty but on the other hand, fuck these Karens!

I dont think a well adjusted adult assumes everyone that would get a decaffeinated in this scenario deserved to get that decaf lol

i didn't say that.

but thats not a look at what you made me do - thats just someone who can do what they do but better

no, it absolutely is. you literally said it would be more thanks to them than it would be to you, as if you would no longer be responsible for your decision to do that. or -- fully responsible.

---

I only got one thing to say to Karens, what goes around comes around

My ex that worked at Starbucks said they would do this sometimes if the customer was an asshole.

---

I understand why they do it but it's still wrong.

Oh yeah well in that case then Im not responsible at all lol

Where did the problem begin exactly? With me walking in to order something? Or some rude employee who takes it out on suspecting Karens already with their dukes up to find any reason to not like a customer with an extra request and or holding up a line to take an extra second to consider what else they should buy?

The cup would never be on the floor of the employee didnt bother to take additional moments of their life and mine to try an inconvenience me lol

Im not even a oh you gave me the wrong order type of person, Ill gladly accept honest mistakes and go home happy with something new and be more than happy to reassure someone its no thing at all

But an attitude? Nah.


---

that just guarantees that they'll stay rude for the rest of the day tbh

---

no, you are fully responsible for each and every decision you make.

if anything, your attitude tells me that you're looking for an excuse to go off. i've given you a wide berth up until now because you've always rubbed me the wrong way. i feel pretty vindicated about that.

I mean let's be real here, if someone is mean to a retail or restaurant worker, chances are they're geared up for a shitty day anyway. That kind of attitude is infectious.

---

Thats fantastic

---

You should be in jail TC for what you done to that woman. Disgusting, why can't they just ban your sorry ass for good.

---

Just complain to corporate that they did this anyway to get the entire store in trouble. They cant prove they didnt do this to you.

Yes -- I'm sure that'll help out the employee while they mop a perfectly cup of joe on the floor to know I've made realizations and revelations about responsibility lol

C'mon man, I'm no heathen -- I've worked as a server and bartender and quite frankly if an employee ever gives you shit for ordering chances are they're just flat out wrong in 80% of all scenarios that involves giving shit to someone anyways

I have more heart for them though, I never leave less than a stellar tip since I know the struggle

I do have a formula for my attitude y'know >_> it's well devised and one I've developed on fluctuating expectations society has for all of this where assumptions and things out of my control incur double the penalty while good actions and care get multiplied by 2 just for being able to supersede internet attitudes

I doubt the coffee would have helped and they would most likely find other trivial things to set them off. People like that are usually always like that no matter what.

Have you tried not being an asshole and maybe people wont be one back?

Like, the only time theyd do this if you were actively an ass to them.
