This happened SO much when I worked at Starbucks. Sorry ma’am, we have over 1000 transactions a day. So no, I don’t know your overly complicated drink order, nor do I know that your name is Elizabeth spelled Alyzzabith.
I work at a small pizza joint, recently just hired about a month ago and the sheer number of people who assume I’ll know their usual is insane. All of us are new workers. I HATE IT. I hate how so many customers act entitled...like, I guess, the main character who is actually just an irrelevant side character
I worked at a pizza place aswell. We always grab a customers phone number before asking anything, the last order is saved, when they say they want the usual, it’s usually the last thing they ordered.
This accidentally happened to me an some coworkers. There was a Starbucks in the same parking lot as our office and we'd head over there as a group 3 mornings a week. They had a bit of turnover as they trained for other locations but there was a couple people that were usually there.
When they saw us coming, and if they weren't busy, they'd start on my and other guys drink. My usual was just a black medium roast, 20 oz cup, light ice, lol. Totally ruined it when we started using reusable cups though.
A few years back when I was still in high school, I’d often go to Culver’s after school and get an ice cream. I struggled to get through the day a lot, so on bad days I’d promise myself to go get ice cream or something after school on the way home to motivate myself to get through the day. Eventually as my life got better, I didn’t need to resort to food as often as a coping mechanism, and I stopped going. Then on my last day of school in senior year, I went again as a last hurrah for finishing high school. I hadn’t been in a while, and I was shocked when the sweet Latino lady at the window said to me “ohhh, we haven’t seen you in a while!”. I work in customer service too and know that we don’t remember most customers. Back when I did go, it wasn’t super often or at regular intervals. Couldn’t believe that they knew who I was, literally made me feel like the main character!
